You can always get a Kill-a-watt (or similar if those aren’t available for the EU) to see how much power something uses in standby

I remember there being special power strips you could get to detect and stop phantom loads like this. But according to that article, there are now regulations to keep this power draw low, so it’s probably not a major problem with modern devices.

Just curious, why extremely low latency? If it’s for playing music, you might want to look into things designed specifically for that. Something like Jamulus

Ok. I admit I missed the label in the top right saying “Native Speakers (millions)”

It only says that below the main title, and from the wording it’s also unclear if that’s what it’s actually intended to show or just the cutoff for a language being represented.

Like, it could be interpreted as showing L1+L2 speakers of languages with >50m L1 speakers

Looks like a voronoi treemap

This is not a standard box plot given you can clearly see many data points below what should be the min line in pretty much every category

The chunks are language families. Turkish is the only Turkic language which meets the cutoff; wikipedia says the second most spoken language in the family is Uzbek, but that only has 44 million speakers (native + second combined)

This is only showing native speakers so I feel like the title’s a bit misleading

I suppose eventually I’ll come around to accepting it, if it persists. But these are not the same; the intent behind them is different. “LOL” is an acronym, not a censorship workaround. Saying it out loud is purely ironic. Maybe the zoomers saying Tiktokisms out loud is also ironic (I’ve personally never heard it directly), but the reason it exists in the first place is stupid

Newspeak is intended to make more complex thoughts impossible. This isn’t newspeak; they’re still talking about the topics, they’re just using dumb filter workarounds.

Though I do feel it’d be obnoxious to actually talk like this when not needed

The fediverse is basically anything that uses some means of connecting to other sites. A lot of them now use ActivityPub, a standard for this kind of thing.

Mastodon isn’t “on” Lemmy, but they can communicate with each other

That just looks 3d printed on a textured sheet

It can be… But others can monetize it too

It’s in Unicode. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Regional_indicator_symbol
