At what size of transistor does semiconductor manufacturing become practical for independent manufacture? (lemm.ee)
 

Currently, only one company in the world -- ASML -- has the technological capability necessary for the creation of photolithography machines which are sufficient for the production of modern semiconductor devices. What I'm wondering is at what point does semiconductor manufacturing become practical, or even feesible for small organizations, or independents? One must be able to surpass the cost of the machines, and the resources necessary to manufacture them. I presume that a company like ASML is also extremely picky -- willfully, or by regulation, or otherwise -- about who they lend their technology to.

I'm not sure if this is the right community for this sort of post. Please let me know if not, and if there is a more suitable place to put it.

Why does this community, which is privacy oriented, use Discord rather than Matrix? (lemm.ee)
 

On the side bar it lists the following:

  • [Matrix/Element]Dead
  • Discord

"Discord" is an active link, but the Matrix link is completely inactive. Not only is it inactive (which could have be excused as a broken link), but it is also manually labeled as "Dead", as if there is no intention of making it work. How can a community that is focused on privacy willingly favor a service that is privacy non-respecting when a perfectly functional privacy-respecting alternative exists?

This is Techrights (But with Jews!) – a satire site based on Techrights (But with Jews!)

It looks like the site is satire. But, I'll be honest, it initially had me fooled. How have we gotten to the point in society where one could come to the conclusion that it is perfectly possible for such an article to be unironically written?

What bugs are you encountering with KDE Connect?

What I don’t like with Matrix is the load it puts on the server. It basically copies 100% of a room content to any server having one or more users registered in the room.

Retroactively?? I'm sure that one could configure this to not be the case... no?

So if you’re on a small server, and one user decides to join a 10k+ large room, your server may collapse under the load as it tries to stay in sync with the room’s activity.

"Collapse" meaning what, exactly? Do you mean run out of storage from the volume of content, or that processing all the messages is too taxing?

XMPP, on the other hand, has proven to be highly scalable

How does it scale differently than Matrix?

I’m not even sure I want a messaging account linked to any of my Fediverse accounts…

Out of curiosity, why do you say this?

I'm still not entirely sure what problem Sup is trying to solve. Matrix already exists. Matrix supports E2EE through the signal protocol, as well as native federation, and it bridges to almost any existing chat service. Matrix is inherently less secure, overall, than Signal, but I don't see how Sup would fix this either -- for that I'll have to wait and see. As for using one's fedi account to sign-in, that's mostly just up to supporting OAuth, and not some feature that would be unique to the app.

Does anyone have any recommendations for an RSS reader on Android? in c/[email protected]

Is it possible to sync Nextcloud News to it? What repo would be their main one? Netiher Github, nor Gitlab have issues enabled.
