According to GIMPS, this is the first time a prime number was not found by an ordinary PC, but rather a “‘cloud supercomputer’ spanning 17 countries” that utilized an Nvidia A100 GPU chip to make the initial diagnosis. The primary architect of this find is Luke Durant, who worked at Nvidia as a software engineer for 11 years

      I assume the numbers never made business sense for them to continue development.

      I guess so.
      I was sorta waiting for Sync to become more fully featured before committing to an ad-free purchase, but I guess I should start looking for other clients again.

        I use Jerboa out of habit because it’s the first one I downloaded that more or less worked that also had the coloured bars down the side of the comments so I could keep track of what level of the comment thread Im looking at.

        Heard good things about Thunder though.

          Does it also have coloured usernames?

          Back when I was still on Reddit I used Joey which, if a user commented more than once in a thread, their username would get the colour of the first “level” on subsequent replies. Any other username, including first comment, would be white/black (depending on night mode).

          • (red) | User1 > Comment
            • (orange) | User2 > reply
              • (yellow) | User3 > Another reply
                • (green) | (orange) User2 > another reply

          I’ve missed that feature on all alternative Reddit, and now Lemmy, clients I’ve tried.
