But the implementation is often a bit more stable or user friendly. Those features often do not light the world on fire because the user experience is not there yet, and google moves on too fast to finish the feature.

A lot of it comes down to software. I had a cpu performance scaling bug that meant my oneplus 7 pro would occasionally take ~5 seconds after unlock to stop being clocked at 100mhz. It made the unlock experience really laggy and crappy. It felt cheap and lazy.

Exactly. As an iphone user (and linux sysadmin, compartmentalization is not that hard), i agree with your criticisms of apple most of the time. They just make the better phone IMHO, and I say that as a nexus 4, nexus 6p, pixel XL, oneplus 7 pro, and oneplus 9 pro user. Yes i used custom roms, no I do not have the patience to treat my phone as a linux project anymore.

I regularly have android users go out of their way to try and fight me over this, and they always claim I must not have used android. It’s annoying to field over and over.

Also that account is BRAND NEW, as in less than a day.

I am nearsighted and wanted a ~75” tv for the bedroom so I don’t have to lay sideways on my glasses while watching and cuddling.

I could not find a single non-smart tv in that size. Nobody is interested in selling dumb TVs because there is money to be made :/

It’s extremely difficult to find a dumb tv in sizes larger than ~55”. You really don’t have much choice at the moment. I personally host a jellyfin server and play that via apple tv over hdmi, but content recognition still does its thing. Best i could do was deny wifi/ethernet to the tv and have no open networks.

Individual lawmakers have personal values and agendas. Humans are chaotic contradictions cloaked in a semblance of order.

You should take a look at her district. She represents an area barely anybody lives in. The people of colorado by and large hate her.

Their ipads and macbooks use usb-pd, and their chargers provide it. Not a guarantee, but a decent sign.

Find me a reasonably priced 70” monitor and i will hail you as the next coming of christ. That is the holy grail for me.

That is… discouraging.

For some background: I am a hardware and sysadmin junkie. my server rack is a homelab for learning and reinforcing skills around systems administration, virtualization, and now kubernetes. All this bad faith behavior on lemmy is killing my ability to focus on learning, and mastodon has nowhere near the same number of bad actors. Not sure what it is about a link aggregation service that attracts these people.

If things continue the way they are, whitelisting federation or shutting down will likely be our options.

Don’t get me wrong, i adore the idea of folks logging into the server in my basement and hanging out, I just don’t think that outweighs the current stream of bigotry, hate and CSAM being passed around.

As an admin of furry.engineer, pawb.fun, and pawb.social (our lemmy instance) i have to concur. After just a few months, i’m just… tired.

Keeping the hardware happy is easy and fun, but moderation is nearly impossible. Also the waves of reactionary argumentative users from instances with open sign up are getting out of hand.

I’m about ready to switch to whitelist federation personally, but would need to build said whitelist. I will monitor and see where beehaw goes from here, because if our moderation team agrees, we will probably take similar action.

I have no faith in the lemmy devs to take these issues seriously. Has anyone looked at kbin to see what is different in terms of moderation?

The only big reddit energy was this comment and the subsequent doubling down. The comment above was an even handed rebuttal, this response is tone policing and name calling.

You may disagree with his rebuttal but this is not how you respond to adversity.

What a telling perspective.

Correct! I should have specified I mean to prevent our community from being the source of the posts.

This kind of issue is why pawb.social is not open registration. These low effort trolls cause a lot of problems, and i don’t want my server to be responsible for this crap.

In the US? Yep! We really need working public transit that isn’t seen as a poor person’s “punishment”.

Very odd… i multitask and run both paravirtualized (arm) and virtualized (x86) linux and windows without issues. You are more likely on the base model and out of RAM.

Intel macbooks deserve the hate, but the apple silicon ones are genuinely impressive to the point of being worth it until the competition catches up in terms of ARM performance, especially in terms of battery life.

My lemmy server is selfhosted (pawb.social), and the running costs are pretty negligible after initial costs.

We get plenty of donations honestly, but that is obviously not universal.
