Global temperatures are inevitably rising due to climate change. Scorching temperatures to become normalcy in the next years. Microplastics (due to pollution) everywhere, even inside our brains. More and more species becoming extinct, disrupting the food web. I could stop here, but I must continue: digital dystopias becoming true, like 247 surveillance and AIs everywhere (even though I like artificial intelligence to a certain point). Increasing prices worldwide, increasing professional competition while there's a grow of ghost/fake job vacancies. Political polarization and extremisms, rising of bigotry. Increasing homelessness while there's an increase of hostile architecture and growing rental prices. Sorry, but it doesn't seems like everyone is really having the right to live a healthy and happy life...

I didn't test displayport, but IIRC it's digital, like HDMI is. So, my guess is that Displayport also emanates lots of EM interferences. The very sharp nature of squarey digital waves (in contrast to a sinusoidal wave from analog) decomposes into high-frequency interferences (because a square wave always has high frequency components, as observed through FFT). That's what causes UHF interference.

Even though I kinda like the aesthetics, especially for AI image generation, and I'm a kind of a nerd (it's popularly said that nerds like animes), I don't like nor hate, I simply don't care to know and watch animes. Not only animes, but also animated movies and series, as well as mangas.

My own birth, I guess.

It's not exactly new. It's known as Van Eck Phreaking. There are open-source projects such as TempestSDR that uses software defined radio dongles (such as RTL-SDR and AirSpy) to reconstruct a remote screen just by listening to its radio interferences.

I once listened to the radio noises emanated from my HDMI connection between my laptop and my LCD screen using a Baofeng UV-5R tuned in UHF frequencies. I could tune it from the street, dozens of meters away from the computer desk. HDMI is very noisy, even noisier than VGA. Even the shortest HDMI cable serves as an antenna for propagating such interference.

On my laptop, Brave for non-"personal" things (such as fediverse, SoundCloud, AI tools, daily browsing, etc) and Firefox for "personal" things (such as WhatsApp Web, LinkedIn, accessing local govt. services, etc). On my smartphone, Firefox for everything (I disabled the native Chrome).

I've been using Brave in a daily basis because it's well integrated with adblocking tools, especially considering the ongoing strife regarding Chromium's Manifest V2 support, where Brave nicely stands keeping its Manifest V2 support independently of what Google wishes or not.

Firefox is also good, but I noticed that, for me, it has been slightly heavier than Brave. So I use it parallel to Brave, for things I don't need to use often. For mobile, it's awesome, as it is one of the few browsers that support extensions, so I use Firefox for Android, together with adblocking extensions.

The asterisk means that, by "active users", they're considering only those who commented and/or posted "in the last month". Maybe join-lemmy's algorithm is considering from "day 1" of the current month, so a time span of 10 days, against 29 days from the second screenshot?

If it's true, it kinda of statistically makes sense: 10 days (28.4K) versus 29 days (47.8K), 34.4% of days with 59.41% of users. We'd need to wait till the 29th day to really compare the difference.

Also, "only those who commented and/or posted". Sometimes, people can become much of an observer, just seeing and voting up/down, without actually commenting or posting.

While it offers a concurrent alternative to Google translate, it still lacks some features, as @[email protected] mentioned, many languages are missing. In my case, I sometimes experiment with terms across various languages, sometimes Hindi ("O param Devi Kaali"), sometimes latin ("Vita mortem manducat, Mors manducat vitam" is a latin phrase I wrote myself, following Latin grammar rules), sometimes Hebrew (especially for Gematria calculation using numerical values from Hebrew letters (Aleph is 1, Bet is 2, Gimmel is 3, and so on) after translating/transliterating a word/name such as "לילית"). For these kinds of experimentation, DeepL can't really be of use, so I need either Google Translate or Bing Translate (both support the aforementioned languages).

Exactly. Also, it doesn't have Latin (used for both scientific terms such as "Athene Cunicularia", philosophical such as "Homo homini lupus est", as well for liturgical and ritualistic texts, especially occult texts) nor Hebrew.

Google translate does this, too. This not only pollutes the back button, it also pollutes the entire browser history.

I dunno... It slightly remembers me of Terraria soundtracks. Or RuneScape. I played them a long time ago, so I can't exactly remember.

Have a proper radio ham license. Buy a 40-meter transceiver and a software defined radio dongle. Convert your code into esoteric programming languages such as Whitespace and Brainf, then spell it. "Plus, plus, next, plus, dot, open bracket, next, ...". Transmit your spelling over 40-meter band, while a receiver across the continent is tuned to the frequency. Ask it to repeat and record the QSO. Set the SDR recorder to I/Q packets instead of demodulating AM. Publish it as an audiobook.
