It is shocking that they waited this long.

Is there a more politically and ideologically diverse alternative for Lemmy?

I know the real answer is reddit but I really don’t want to go back now that I’ve already grown used to life without it. I was hoping for Lemmy to be a viable substitute but it isn’t. I can see how this place is wonderful for the certain type of person but that person is not me. My experience during the past 6+ months has...

Lemmy is a federation of servers. “Lemmy” is not one political group with one viewpoint. If you’re looking for different viewpoints, try different groups, or different servers.

In another comment you said this about the comments you read:

they’re made in bad faith

I don’t think this is true. I think that what you think is “bad faith” is actually “people who disagree with me”. So far, most users of Lemmy appear to trend politically left by American standards, but that’s only because American standards are so absurdly skewed to the right that it appears to stand out. By American standards, “truth” is left-wing.

Ask yourself what you’re actually looking for.

Why not use “triple” for three, which actually does mean three.

So, “yes”, but also no. You’ll lose the calibration panel for your display, and the result will probably be unwatchable.

You’re much better off buying a display which is un-smart to start with. These are often called “commercial displays”. Or of course you could just buy a monitor.

Apple Music pays more than Spotify. It’s probably still not “decent”, but it’s more.

Both DVD and blu-ray support branching paths the user can select, so I guess, why not both? Let the viewer pick.

It used to suck, but the only people who say it still does are the people who haven’t used it recently. Apple Maps is amazing now.

But. You set the destination. To be “taken to the wrong place”, you must have set the wrong destination. Didn’t you notice before you set it? Didn’t you notice when you were going in the wrong direction?

SpaceX Might Have Lost 200+ Starlink Satellites In Just 2 Months Shows Data (wccftech.com)

SpaceX's Starlink satellite internet constellation has lost more than two hundred satellites in low Earth orbit (LEO) since July, according to data from a satellite tracking website. This is the first time that Starlink has lost a significant number of satellites in a short time period, and these losses are typically influenced...

This is a complete non story. They have a design life of only a few years. They have already been replaced in orbit with upgraded ones.

Total clickbait.

DavidGA ,
@DavidGA@lemmy.world avatar

Sure! I’d be happy to.

The satellites operate in an extremely low orbit. At the end of their life they are manually de-orbited. If they fail, they will naturally de-orbit themselves in just a few years. They contribute to “space junk” in no way.

The precise position of all the Starlink satellites is known, and space is much bigger than you appear to be imagining, so the network will in no way impede lauching rockets.

There is no need to simply make stuff up about Starlink. There are plenty of reasons to hate Elon without inventing things.

This is asinine. Apple has shown a strong commitment to supporting particular standards for extended periods. For example, the iPhone’s 30-pin connector was maintained for over 10 years. Similarly, the Lightning port, its successor, has also been around for about a decade. (And, it should be noticed, started being used two years BEFORE USB-C existed.) Additionally, Apple has supported the Thunderbolt standard throughout its life cycle.

Apple has always been judicious about the ports it adopts. The company is not known for having a plethora of ports catering to multiple generations of connector technologies. Instead, when Apple picks a standard, it tends to go all in. Take the case of USB-A: Apple was one of the early adopters of this technology and supported it for approximately 20 years before making the switch to USB-C. To put this in perspective, the time between the USB Mini to Micro switch and the Micro to USB-C transition was shorter than the lifespan of Apple’s 30-pin and Lightning connectors.

It’s unreasonable to assume that Apple would restrict the cables that can be used in a standard USB-C port. The USB-C standard is built on the principle of universal compatibility. Restricting this would not only break with the standard but also limit the very advantages that have made USB-C popular among consumers and manufacturers alike.

@DavidGA@lemmy.world avatar

Apple only provides usb 3.1 speeds on iPhone Pro and only if you buy a new cable from Apple.

You don’t have to keep repeating this made-up lie. While it’s true that it only comes with a USB 2.0 cable, you don’t have to buy a USB 3 cable from Apple. Any USB 3 cable will work just fine.

It’s not exactly a bug. It’s just that Linux is extremely verbose and often spits out debug messages for things that are not relevant to your system.

It’s literally Season 3, too.

Annoyingly, there are one or two really good episodes in Seasons 1 and 2. But the majority are total crap.
