"Never considered the similarity" -- very sceptical of this statement😅

In university, I learned it to improve my understanding of computer architecture: How exactly does a CPU compute things? How does the CPU interact with the different types of memory, and what are the performance implications?

It's helpful for writing compilers, particularly with optimization.

Enthusiasts enjoy the challenge and efficiency.

Some environments lack compilers and therefore require knowledge of Assembler.

Some say knowing Assembler guides writing more efficient code. For a low-level language like C, that's probably true, at least on a case-by-case basis. For higher-level languages, perhaps less so.

IMO Assembler isn't especially complex, it's just granular; a very tiny tool, best used for tiny jobs.

Me in the 9th grade science fair that I worked on by myself: "Here’s a potato powered digital clock."

Got to say, their Cat emoji collection is *Oustanding.*

Warning - - this has been posted as a TEST for web browsers, can they handle the huge number of image file requests to load the page well?

Firefox and Waterfox reported to work perfectly. Others might not work so well. No Damage to your device expected.

Can't read much on the site as most everything is in German, but man, its it responsive. Amazing speed on menus and page opens. Pretty and clean design too.

So happy with how Firefox handled the @goat post. Brings a tear to my eye.

Federated Timeline is static and notifies of New posts at the top. Giving you a chance to actually READ these, not an insanely scrolling marquee of new posts.

I have enabled a "Reduce UI animations" choice in Settings, which might have helped. But this alone is a HUGE improvement compared to the mastodon default web viewer.

Colour Choices PLENTY...

There's even an "Ignore all these Content Warnings" timewasters button.

Wellness Settings, yes please!

@Full_marx might like these!

Snapshot already with my preferred Mastodon Dark colours applied. This client is quite nice. :smo_mario:

OMG, it scrolls up and down the feed amazingly FAST. :thumbsup_hmn_h2:

Testing out Pinafore Web client for fediverse...

Check it out at pinafore.social/ - just log in with your instance name, and it will request authorization for it, and go to work. Quick.

@freemo And another post from the Home feed (via web browser) also updated instantly as expected. Must be a problem on my side, tons of tabs open.

Sorry to bother you.

@freemo Just to make me look bad, now it updated instantly right after I posted. Could it depend where in the site (Home, Local, Notifications) I am at?

This one was posted right from the Local feed side post box.
