Idk, if there is one thing it does consistently well its standardized tests.

Not that it can be used in any non mathematical class and if teachers do actually pay attention.

Oh so that is why my eyes burn, i thought it was purely the content.

Actually i have and love my 21:9, but it was a weird journey.

The most common resolution for them is 3440x1440 21:9

At work i use a 2560x1600 16:10

You may see my problem, i was not going to give up those 160 vertical pixels. So i got a 3840x1600 instead…

Which comes down to the same 21:9…

I think the reason its not a problem is cause how rarely your only using a single fullscreen window on such ultrawides.

Majestic for gaming ind… and the gpu caught fire again.

16:9 was pushed on us because it was cheaper to produce on mass for tv and pc. 16:9 was better for movies.

There are some monitors from just before this massive market manipulation and those have 16:10, sometimes with display port before hdmi was even mainstream.

Apple is actually one of the few companies to make the jump from 4:3 to 16:10 avoiding the 16:9 with very few exceptions.

To this day i see people work with old software designed for the area of more vertical screens but doing so on screens designed for movies.

Most people dont even understand what i mean when i explain this. But the good thing is my issue with it was considered a disability so they had to accommodate me with something more sensible.

Sorry long comments but this is a personal vice for me.

And because you didn’t read the article you miss context and derail the conversation with a strawman argument.

Its incredibly easy to peer pressure teenagers into doing stupid stuff without having them consider the consequences.

Especially if they are part of a marginalized community and they observe crimes on a daily basis.

Oh my that damage control speech from Ford the article was forced to include does not work in the direction they hope it does.

There is actual fear to be perceived as Incompetent in there.

The reporters did very little to sugarcoat that they got told to edit it. Basically a copyPaste of fords demands of what needed to be talked about

I have nothing against having the option to donate, which has worked for many projects.

The idea you are sketching, it is a possible reality but that is the bad future to me.

There’s a threshold where the number of users makes it impossible for your service to still have any real sense of identity or intend and it ought to be broken up in smaller parts. Some of the larger instances have already passed that threshold in my opinion.

You did mention the solution, “The alternative is possible small scale” The good future is where every family has their own private instance and every business and service has their own public one, interconnected.

Keep things small, manageable, focused and responsible.

I do agree this (fediverse) likely won’t last, not with so many predators waiting to grab a piece. Web3 is not here yet, as much as meta threads want to believe we are it.

I cant really but i thought he was back on xhitter.

Side note:

This meme is from a year ago:

I am not faulting you for this, your preferente is yours but it strikes me that sync is made for a demographic that would not be as much aware of open source philosophy.

In context of this what your saying makes more sense, I still very much disagree but i see better from what angle your perspective is coming.

If you do want to look around: voyager has blown me Away in how well it was designed. Blazing fast.

I run some of those services that people use. 24/7 I have been doing so for years.

That does costs a lot of time and energy, i ask nothing In return. Well except they they wont be upset with me In person when i end up going dark. ( I’ll make sure to opensource provide it all naturally. )

Right now on lemmy, you are using a free service running on someones computer, there are no ads nor subscriptions to support it. If it would then i would be spinning up my own instance quicker then bender can imagine his own themapark.

The alternative isn’t just possible, but the default way people have gotten things done since prehistoric times. Do things because we want to, share resources, providing for others. Lift everyone else up and you too will rise.

What i see when i observe services that complain about not being able to sustain without some form of financing is a lack of motivation and passion. To me they are a red flag that they are disfunctioneel by nature. I lose completely faith in there ability to provide competence or quality.

Of course i do understand that being unwilling to compromise morality under treat of poverty is an exception rather then rule.

But honestly how people do this shit and Not want to kill themselves in shame is actually weird to me.

How about becoming literally disabled and pushed away from the one area i was deemed proficient in?

• autists with visual sensory overload complications.

Seriously, if the internet is going to be like this, might as well pull the plug.

I have been investing in running my own services and programming my own life essential tools anyway. I will always be computer nerd but one of these years i am just going offline, trow my phone away and glue my mailbox shut.

And yeah this is anger talking but i am so fed up with this “someone must make profits to justify our existence” excuse. That is not how passion works.

Did some europeans countries not also have a retirement income of sorts?

Fixed it.

Actually with DRM this ca…

DRM, the answer of what gamers hate most is DRM

It has to be connection lost.

Mom only has power over a subset of younger gamers.

Being annoyed with someone else’s skill is a personal issue, bad players are a given in open multiplayer and forgiven if they are your friend.

Fps tends to be stable per game. Either you have enough to play in way you accept or you don’t.

But connection lost is like being smitten by the gods, you cant predict when it will happen and it always means game over.

Context copypaste from tumblr:

[iguanodonwildman]:

“So I checked up on this case, and it turned out his sentence was reduced…

to 55 years

55 years for a unsuccessful burglary, theft, and the murder of a friend that was killed by police, when his only crime was breaking and entering when he was 15 years old.

This is the most up to date article I can find on it: https://www.reuters.com/article/uk-factcheck-lakeith-smith-65-years-idUSKBN243246. “

Autism is that you?

“When we walk down the street, we know what we need to pay attention to—and what we don’t. Robots, on the other hand, treat all the information they receive about their surroundings with equal importance. Driverless cars have to continuously analyze data about things around them whether or not they are relevant. This keeps drivers and pedestrians safe, but it draws on a lot of energy and computing power.”

Firefox: Browser missing required feature. This application needs support for WebSockets, WebRTC, and WebAssembly.

Whatsapp is a product of Meta and files would still pass their proprietary servers. Let alone the metadata they collect. I refuse to use Facebook related products on principle. (Mostly stopped using google and microsoft products also)

Singal can do actual p2p userdevice to userdevice. Only if thats not possible it will use temporary servers for storage. But i am actually against that, id prefer if the file would not send until a p2p connection is established.

On paper the encryption of whatsapp is about as secure as Signal but can we trust Facebook to not implement a backdoor?. There open source llm-ai (llama) is by far the most intelligent model for its size. I plore people to ask what data Meta used to archive that result.

25 MB wasn’t even enough to send a single full res screenshot of my desktop.

Its 2024 and we still lack the basic functionality of file sharing between peers without a corp dictator restricting and snooping.

Not that the functionality does not exist (p2p, literally) but if my grandma cant receive the family pictures its not basic.
