Ah so the Switch 2 dock has an extra fan? I didn't know that. Still, what happens if you connect a Switch 2 to a 1080p display? I assume it would render at 1080p, because rendering at 4K and downscaling for output would be too wasteful

Why reject switch 1 accessories though? Sure the video resolution will have to be limited to 1080p, but that's kinda expected and I'm sure switch 2 can do that anyway

This is due to different design goals. Bluesky's architecture was pretty much dictated by the premise that anyone needs to be able to see any post on the entire system, regardless of whether they have any connections with the author. T

It very much depends on how the block is implemented technically. I can only talk about Russia where I'm from — we have quite a lot of success with DPI bypass tools like GoodbyeDPI. If that fails, use VPN protocols specifically desig

In my opinion both Windows and Linux are much worse than even modern macOS, so I'm going to keep using it for the foreseeable future, but being rather conservative with installing updates. On hardware, my M1 Max MacBook Pro is the best

Your instance is in your username. The full username is "@grishka@mastodon.social". You use WebFinger ( https://mastodon.social/.well-known/webfinger?resource=acct:... ) to convert that to the ActivityPub act

I stayed on Mavericks until late 2016, by which time I had to update to then-current system because I got a new job and needed latest Xcode to compile the iOS app. Surprisingly, I didn't hate the flatter design as much as I anticipated

One nitpick about ActivityPub actor identity — the username doesn't have to be part of your ID (the URL that points to the JSON object representing your actor). It is in Mastodon, but some other software (Smithereen that I work on,

Internet censorship in Russia started around 10 years ago under the pretense of "protecting children". The initial law was kinda funny and relatively innocent: it banned information about drugs and suicide. Because if this informa

Except it was always clear that smartphones are here to stay, while AI is an unsustainable fad that will go out of fashion, the sooner the better.

While this is partially true, digital signage displays are also designed to run 24/7, which also makes them more expensive than regular TVs.

According to my own limited experience, yes, it is getting worse. Airlines cut their costs hard during covid, but never undid most of those changes after covid was over. So now you have non-low-cost airlines that charge extra for luggage,

Both the PIN and the app feel like terrible ideas. The gym I go to uses NFC wristbands, for the turnstiles but also for the lockers.

Next they'll start generating documentation from code using LLMs...

But if you find anything with the dark-blue "documentation archive" header, then you know it's some good stuff. Though sometimes outdated.

There usually isn't "too much content" when you only see content from accounts you follow, and especially when there are no logo accounts, only people.

Yes, people want addictions. So give them addictions. Just don't sacrifice actual social media for that. Ideally, in my view of the world anyway, there would be separate commercial addiction-focused platforms like TikTok, and separate

I'm not talking about literal television, but more about something where you don't really get to decide what you see, you go there to get entertained with whatever .

What do you mean by "no one"? There is definitely demand for such a platform.

Social media as a concept can definitely be fixed. Just stop doing algorithms, period. Strip the platforms of any and all initiative. Make them dumb pipes. Stop pretending that people want to use social media for entertainment and news an
