As I understand it, part of the issue on kbin is that the default federation threads value is too low for large sized instances.
I gather this will improve over time.
Indeed - what you describe is why I'm really not worried about fragmentation. Federation means you'll be able to see all of the relevant communities, and you can decide to subscribe to any or all of them.
As the name suggests - patient gamers.
Mostly it's for discussing games that came out a while ago that you're just now getting around to. You get the benefit of the bugs largely having been fixed and being able to get the game for a much lower price than what it released at.
It's also quite liberating getting to explore some real gems without having your perception distorted by the hype-train.
Welcome.
A lot of this. But also things like developers doing things in an inefficient way, which the driver can then optimise for.
It's not that game developers are intentionally not using GPUs properly, but the companies behind these GPUs are in a really good position to easily see if there's something that they can do on their end to improve performance with specific games.
A lot of learning and reading. I spent most of my time on Reddit just lurking and reading things, but I can't help but notice the overall higher quality of conversation here. I'm pretty happy.
Keep in mind that you don't have to use Lemmy - kbin works as well with the same communities.
I've been using both, but my point is, it's nice to have options.
Indeed - to be clear I don't have a problem with swearing, but it definitely adds to the overall better vibe over here.
Regardless of what happens with Reddit I intend to stay.
Previous commenter is incorrect - you can export up to 4k with the free version.
A thousand times this. I have no idea why this isn't a more popular option. Also it isn't limited to HD - it's limited to 4k.
I'd imagine if it shocks you it's down to a grounding issue. The power in the HDMI spec wouldn't be transmitted through the shielding (at least, I hope not...).
Only 50mA though? Is that enough to drive a fan?
I mean, it certainly seems plausible but that must be a hilariously badly designed motherboard, with also a surprisingly efficient route from the HDMI port to the CPU fan header?
Definitely think we need this feature. Also an option to allow NSFW but blurred by default on Kbin.
To be fair I think the whole federation aspect has potential to work very well in this regard, i.e. the community will expand but you can decide which elements of the fediverse you want to engage with.
Porn absolutely does get a bad rep, but I also do think we can't pretend that it's not harmful.
Honestly I have no difficulty believing that it has potential to become a pretty severe addiction for some.
It's rather wonderful - I deleted my many accounts and now enjoying life on the bright side.
I'm not sure I'd go back to Reddit now even if they sort out their act...
Indeed! That's the beautiful thing about this whole decentralised magic. You can use the app (not just mobile app) that best suits you and your interests, and interact with anyone, anywhere.
It's wonderful honestly.
@jerry My only hope is that this continues to be sustainable.
Something that frustrates me about the entire situation on Reddit is that, in my opinion, this largely could've been avoided if Reddit said "you need to pay a subscription to use third party apps".
With that in mind, personally I'd be quite happy to contribute towards the upkeep of the server, and I would hope that support would be encouraged if it allows this instance to stay around for the long haul.
Also, are you the same Jerry of infosec.exchange on Mastodon?
I wouldn't say they were very Tory - people would very openly bash the conservative party there, but I would say, politically speaking, more center / right (i.e. more of a Telegraph reader-base rather than say, The Guardian).
With that said, I do remember in the past they definitely had a Tory-bias but I believe (perhaps due to the utter incompetence of the conservative party in recent years) that has shifted somewhat.
