I think past thunderbolt 4 you get 2 displays daisy chained off of one port. I have a thunderbolt 5 port and I run 2 4k monitors off of it

Yeah, I was going to say that this is the bare minimum of public decency, if you don’t think this is normal behavior you are a plague on this earth.

Pannenkoek has so many sm64 videos covering the most niche topics, you’ve got plenty of content there if you are hearing of him for the first time

Language isn’t set in stone, and when people use the term “algorithm” when referring to the system in place that decides what content is put in front of them, people understand what they mean. No one gets this algorithm mixed up with the math/computer science term algorithm.

The discord one is slightly different, but I’d argue it isn’t that harmful, as Discord “servers” function effectively as a server from a user point of view. The only problem with this nomenclature is that it somewhat implies to a layperson that there is some form of privacy/security in place, which there isn’t.

A pedant’s job is never done, huh?

Boy, I haven’t thought of Lofty Pursuits in a long time

Still increases footprint/grants more credibility to the Fediverse, which I think is a good thing. It just won’t really impact the daily experience here

I live in the PNW. I picked an instance in the PNW. Sometimes I see local news, and often I read comments from people within a few hour drive. It’s nice to have a small, local community here, while still having access to the rest of the world together. So I guess recommend picking the largest instance in your region if you don’t have any other preferences.

Someone who was filmed screaming and crying during the announcement (maybe inauguration, can’t remember which now) of the 45th president of the US

Literally just went through getting the app built /deployed for my parents and my partner’s parents using the old method a few weeks ago. I’m super glad the app is on the app store, but it’s just bad timing for me lol

You don’t have to give them your password, and GrapheneOS has a convenient feature to turn off biometric unlock for only unlocking the phone, but still lets you use it in apps

I use arch (btw) on my personal machine because I hate myself, but on my servers and the computers of people I move off of Windows I always install Debian and KDE/Gnome, for simplicity and stability.

That’s the lovely thing about open source: if this ruins blender, the community at large can pivot and fork blender to allow it to thrive in the way the community wants it. In small projects this type of pivot can ruin the momentum of a project, but in large-scale projects they are a lot safer.

Nah, those two cannot be used synonymously. They mean different things, and one is predatory and problematic, the other is not.

Jabba, Pizza, Sunglass. Easy peasy

Was gonna say, I’ve definitely seen his channel before

I didn’t, but I didn’t look too hard. I wasn’t really expecting it to work

Yeah, doesn’t work on GrapheneOS either, bummer

Yup. All my IoT devices are on a network that doesn’t have access to the internet. To control remotely, I use a VPN. Even though I don’t think it’s technically necessary, I take the precaution of blocking connections to the big company’s APIs/websites for all my IoT devices, just in case.

I wish this were easier for the layman to do. Some companies like Unifi make it pretty painless, but they are expensive and it’s really hard for the non-networking-savvy folks to know exactly which devices you need from them to have a working setup.

I agree with the fact that they aren’t a great company, but anyone who’s shopped around for skins/decals knows that dbrand is a cut above the rest in terms of quality. I’ve stopped buying from them due to how they run things, though.
