Some people graduate in 3 years, some in 4, some in 5+. It really is different for everyone. Unless it is exceedingly financially difficult to afford these two additional classes, you’ll probably be okay.

I don’t write as frequently as I used to, but in case you’re interested in multimedia & data compression:

Gianni R@lemmy.mlto Linux@lemmy.ml•What file systems are you using on your devices and why?English131·10 months agoI’m pretty much all BTRFS at this point
Gianni R@lemmy.mlto Linux@lemmy.ml•I got average monthly ratings for games on Wine AppDB, and seems like something happened in 2016.English14·11 months agoMinecraft is arguably & measurably more performant on Linux, full stop. Anything using OpenGL performs better on Linux, check any Minecraft benchmark online.
It is a modern successor to formats like WebP & JPEG. WebP was barely competitive with JPEG
Gianni R@lemmy.mlto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•iPhone users, what's stopping you from switching to Android?English192·11 months agoAs an Android user, I’m considering switching to iPhone due to how much worse the Android experience is becoming without Google Play Services. I’m using a custom ROM with microG, which potentially means no RCS since it is only available through Google Messages which doesn’t work with microG.
As much as it would suck jumping ship, at the very least, Apple is still a consumer hardware company first & foremost while Google will always be an ads company. Android exists to that end & that end alone.
I have customized ZSH to be very similar to Fish
Gianni R@lemmy.mlto Linux@lemmy.ml•text clarity on windows is so good, can I get the same on linux?English5·1 year agoI’m partial to macOS and I agree, I think Windows font rendering looks like garbage. On GNOME, I’ve found things to be okay. Sucks that patents are involved in this mess
Gianni R@lemmy.mlto Firefox@lemmy.ml•Dear : Please stop saving images as webp when I drag them out of the browser. Forever stop that. Even if they are webp originally, just give me a setting to auto-convert them to JPEG. When IEnglish371·1 year agoWebP images are not bad. Not great, but not bad. The lossless mode is quite good. It is on the software you use to support WebP.
I’m happy with Wayland

Gianni R@lemmy.mlto Technology@lemmy.ml•Huawei’s new Kirin 9010 chip tested in real-life gaming, performs much better than expected with no overheatingEnglish3·1 year agoHuawei’s doing great. Plus, there’s a big push in China to consider RISC-V & Linux to reduce dependence on US-based tech like Windows, so seems like all good things
Gianni R@lemmy.mlto Linux@lemmy.ml•A large state corporation in Brazil is currently trialing 800 Linux PCs. If successful, it will deploy and replace 22k Windows installs, comparable to the migration happening in Germany.English3·1 year agoGo big or go home. No need to stick with anything from a large corporation if you’re already pulling away from M$
Aside from the backdoor (which is a moot point when talking about zstd anyway), there are a number of other very good reasons to use ZSTD.
Yes, it works on Wayland. I’d also give GNOME’s Console a shot.
Hilariously, WebP often isn’t better than JPEG for compression efficiency
