I’m a bit confused about it and I’m going up there to see you EVERYWHERE

maybe next time i see this it’ll feel genuine

I seem to be in the minority, but I’ve never had issues with it resetting my default browser.

If you can’t grow your own, store bought is fine.

MagSafe charges super fast

Magsafe has a 15 watt limit. Compare this to the 12 Watts you could get from an old non-fast charger, and the 45-100 Watts you can get from a modern fast charger. Also factor in that Magsafe is inefficient and creates more waste heat and likely throttles charging as a result.

Much better than using a port that can wear out over time

Meanwhile you’re killing the battery with the extra heat.

Also the lighting port is pretty darn durable, and I’ve had no major issues with USB-C disability either.

already did. now what

Bojack seems really depressing from the clips I’ve seen

I paid the $30 for Lifetime Ultra after 7 years of using Dev/Pro just to support. But this new pricing is simply insane. I get the feeling LJ quit his day job to rush Sync for Lemmy out or something, because historically he never seemed to do this kind of thing.

when everything’s super…

The few that I’ve used either require too much force to connect, or are just friction-fit only (like those Neutrik combo XLR + 1/4" receptacles you find on audio interfaces), but I’ll take your word for it. XLR looks like it should feel solid.

TRUE especially since the pins are tiny. I bent two of them inside the shroud somehow and they snapped, so now I only have one front USB 3.0 port.

Reddit sucks. Let’s make our own reddit with blackjack and hookers.

Result: there are now 15 competing reddit knockoffs. Each one is small and lonely.

Solution: let the reddit knockoffs talk to each other. This solves the problem of a fractured userbase. This was always reddit’s strength: disparate communities united, on the same site. This size and diversity meant there was a high likelihood of someone who knows what they’re talking about or someone with a unique perspective stumbling across the post and chiming in.

By understanding the motivation, hopefully the concept of “Federation” makes more sense.

Plex does alright at suggesting music from your own library, and also has some really nice DJ-like song transitions that are legitimately way better than any other track fades. However, Plex users have been frustrated with the company’s slow response to fixing long-standing bugs, and some of the features are paid. It’s also not open-source.

No idea if it can suggest music that isn’t in your library; I know that they integrate with Tidal though, so maybe if you have that it’ll also suggest stuff from Tidal?
