I think it depends on what you’re working on. If you’re working on some JavaScript web app you could say that CPUs are “good enough”. But even then larger more complicated apps will get annoyingly slow to “compile”.
It’s when you are working with larger and more complicated Rust or C or whatever code bases that compile time matters.
This all being said for me CPU important is a good thing. It was good in the 90s and it’s good now.
I was not in fact mislead. I actually went and found that article to help explain the concept of IPC uplift to you.
I was speaking of why new CPUs are a good thing worth being excited by in general. You were the one who said new CPUs aren’t worth being excited about in general.
As a bonus I showed how new CPUs even at the same speed have advantages. This all being said hey if you want to be a downer here go for it.
I don’t think you have Stockholm syndrome. You just like what you already understand well. It’s a normal part of the human condition.
All those features of nat also work with IPV6 with no nat in the exact same way. When I want to open up a port I just make a new firewall rule. Plus you get the advantages of being able to address the ach host behind the firewall. It’s a huge win with no losses.
I am speaking about in general. Newer faster CPUs are something worth being happy about.
This being said there is more to CPUs than raw clock speeds. A major component is IPC uplift. For example if a new cpu has a 20% IPC improvement over an older CPU when they both run at say 3.5Ghz the newer CPU will do things 20% faster. It’s pretty cool stuff.
In the case of the CPUs you mentioned it looks like there was a 16% IPC uplift over last gen and last gen had a 18% uplift over the 5xxx series. I would be happy to have my code compile 16% + 18% faster.
For me they are. Faster compile times means I can iterate and test things faster.
If you do dev work on a day to day basis a newer faster cpu makes a major difference.
I think it’s worth taking the time to learn IPv6 property. If you have a good understanding of IPv4 it shouldn’t take you more than an afternoon.
Eliminating NAT and just using firewall rules (ie what NAT does behind your back) is incredibly freeing.
I don’t get people complaining about typing out IPs. I like to give all of my clients full FQDNs but you don’t have to. Just using mDNS would be enough to avoid typing a bunch of numbers.
You shouldn’t have to?? Maybe you might need to change the mask in your firewall settings if the ipv6 allocation block size changes but that should be it.
Everything else should just work as normal.
Schwip Schwap is my favorite. Mountain Dew is also quite nice when I can find it.
I really appreciate your super stark pro libre software attitude. I want to support you here. You should know that the approach you are taking is ultra abrasive and would probably cause more harm than help.
People would just associate libre software with militant weirdos, if all they saw where your posts.
If you want to make meaningful change I strongly recommend taking a softer less abrasive approach.
We want libre software to be connected with safety, friendliness and personal autonomy, not militarism, chanted phrases, and dogma.
Even on Lemmy the ultra pro libre software social network (relative to non federated networks) your current approach is off putting. I want you to succeed and I think a different approach may be better.
Just my two cents.
Fair. And I see it lol. My inbox is full of people who want to argue with me.
True. But for 99% of people baseline is what they use. Windows can be made very secure by experts but the fact is 99% of people just use windows as is.
You are preaching to the choir.
When it comes to privacy: GrapheneOS > iOS > android with Google.
Android itself is good. It’s just android with Google that’s the problem. (Aka 99.999% of all android phones sold outside of China)
Compared to any android phone the privacy is substantially better. Apple is in the business of selling overpriced phones. Google is in the data collection business.
Do you really want the standard of life to be a halo 2 lobby? Halo 2 lobbies were full of bigotry of all types. We can and do, do better.
This comment is quite informative. The “both sides” people are REALLY not aware of history. Hopefully they educate themselves to the point where they advocate against the literal wannabe dictator who actively undermines democracy. (To be clear Trump is the literal wannabe dictator who actively undermines democracy)
Maybe licensing the art under some sort of Creative Commons Share alike license might serve your purpose? This being said I 100% get artists keeping full rights to their art. If you do that there is nothing wrong with that either.
You raise a valid point. Perhaps “art about open source subjects” might be more technically accurate.
In either case it’s welcome.
I do most of my cad stuff on openscad and I will say that is impressive!
Particularly since the openscad language is purely functional and side effect free.
