All good info. I should have clarified and said I’m trying to figure out what hub(s) (and software?) to use to drive 4 external monitors. The monitors I already own and have them situated for another computer; I have the Macbook driving two of them, but I’m not sure how the best option to add the other two to the Macbook…
Depending on what you have a taste for, I seem to remember seeing this in Emacs:
The Texas Republican Party made being against critical thinking part of their platform, explicitly.
Precisely correct. Not sure Elmo really thought it through.
Xitter.
Well, most Americans are progressive on the issues, including abortion, but due to absurd things like the Electoral College, and the way our power is distributed through states and the way in which rural areas have much more influence than they should, conservatives are given way too much power in relation to their numbers.
This is a parody account, I take it? Poe’s Law strikes again.
What kind of silly notion is that?
Pretty sure Palin admitted to her family hopping the border for cheaper healthcare in Canada.
TBH, I thought this was an Onion headline at first.
As @Arcidias@lemmy.world mentioned - cloudhiker.net seems quite nice.
Also - do you have any particular recommendations for sites on Neocities?
I think one reason the [IM|microblogging|forum|other communication style] is not yet fully decentralized, but email is, is because:
The lesson from USENET is rather instructive. Like email, it is defederated, had a standard protocol, and long predated Eternal September. Unlike email, there is no clearcut business use-case, and even though both systems suffered massive amounts of problems of spam and porn, there was no clear (financial) incentive to deal with spam on USENET, other than leaving it up to the end user to use kill files and so on.
I think IM could be solved much like email, like you say. There is obviously a good business case for it (companies spend untold amounts on things like Slack). When it comes to things that are social media-ish, I think it’s more complicated, as you point out, and probably why it remains in the state that it is.
Interestingly, the plugin (I used DontBugMe for FF) didn’t seem to load anything, but going to the page does find logins for that domain. shrug
Thanks, ended up going this route. Bugmenot plugin didn’t seem to find anything? Already use VPN, so I set up duckduck plugin and generated a new burner email.
Thanks for the video link.
My word, yes. This.
Ever since the 90s, I’ve wondered this about IM. IRC is good for many uses, but too complicated for many, so all these private options popped up, and continue to still be with us instead of an open protocol for IM. Jabber/XMPP tried to do it. Matrix, too.
And yet, we still use all this cruft like Slack and Skype and so on.
IMHO, nearly every other type of communication should figure out how to do it like email, including IM and microblogging and Reddit-like things.
Maybe Space Karen might end up actually resulting in innovation and adoption of good tech, but just not in the way that he had planned. XD
I pretty much thought federation was about trying to bring email-like qualities to other things where there was a gap being filled (and held back by) private enterprise, such as IM (Matrix, XMPP, IRC).
Email is an example of a lot things done right as far as being decentralized. Sure, there are entities within Big Tech that have been working to fuck all that up…but there is a reason email is still here.
Thanks again for all the info. Two of my monitors are years old, two of them I bought in the past few months (all are Dell). The nice thing is that a years-old 1070 will work with all 4 - even if refresh rate and resolution is not necessarily up to snuff for something like games, for the everyday stuff they are just fine.
I have to look at the specs, but I’m not sure any of mine support daisy chaining.
