Report: Apple May Stop Producing Current Gen Vision Pro by the End of 2024
  • How is input lag for the MacBook? Friend of mine said it was bad enough that he couldn’t seriously use it that way. Not sure if others feel that way too. That would be my biggest use case for it…. Use it for work and having a massive screen.

  • Starbucks shares slide after coffee chain says sales fell again, suspends outlook
  • The biggest thing I appreciate about Starbucks is the app. I can order, go in, and grab my cup and go. This is enormously important in the morning when I NEED to get to work. With the “local” shops you need to wait an arbitrary amount of time depending on how long the line is and what those people might order. Also, I don’t have to deal with the FUCKING iPad swivel. Sorry “local” coffee shops, but until you stop condoning begging from your customers I will generally avoid, even if your coffee is better.

    Don’t agree? That’s fine. I do what works for me. You do what works for you.

  • I want Lemmy to be a viable alternative and do use it. But, the lack of niche communities makes it harder. I do go back to Reddit from time to time for that fix and to keep up with a few things.

  • Is it normal to be banned from a big community because of a comment critical of a "left leaning" dictatorship? (Cuba)
  • I think Lemmy is some times so far left to the point of absurdity. If you point out that absurdity people will still downvote you.

    I’ve seen far left folks practically suggesting that Biden isn’t doing enough reign in Israel, so we might as well elect Trump. When I point out that no, actually that would be worse, we should still vote democrat, people will downvote with a straight face. Like what position are you actually advocating for with those downvotes? Some times it feels like folks would rather walk off a cliff than hold an opinion grounded in actual outcomes and reality here.

  • This Is Exactly How an Elon Musk-Funded PAC Is Microtargeting Muslims and Jews With Opposing Messages
  • If he does too much out loud, the AIPAC lobby will back Trump even more forcefully and Jews backing the democrats may feel less motivated to turn out. Netanyahu already wants Trump to win. Democrats are trying to thread a needle. And, frankly, they need to. There is more than one issue in this campaign. Should we let America fall to a literal fascist, see abortion banned nationwide, or lose another seat on the Supreme Court for 20 years because Biden and Kamala didn’t throw a loud enough fit over Israel?

  • Infographic: Where Obesity Is Most Prevalent in the U.S.
  • Most people are probably living at high elevation in Colorado. This likely has something to do with it. Elevation means lower oxygen in the air which means your heart and lungs have to work harder to get oxygen into your body.

    Unfortunately, it also increases mental health issues (probably has something to do with the frequent mass shootings in CO).

    Feedback welcome for first build -- interested in linux gaming

    It's my first time building a computer. I also haven't really done much PC gaming in the past 15 years, except on my Steam Deck. Actually, it is the Steam Deck that has convinced me to invest in a desktop PC with some more power. I like the Linux experience on Steam Deck and would like to stick with that if possible. I haven't used Windows in 15 years either, as I tend to use Mac OS and a bit of Linux for personal and work. Windows seems to just get worse and worse and I'd like to avoid it if possible.

    https://pcpartpicker.com/list/zr2ZVW

    In any case, I went with an AMD CPU because I've heard about Intel's recent corrosion issues. And, chose an NVidia GPU since I'd like to take advantage of ray tracing. I've heard the driver support can be a bit mixed on Linux, but I'm open to trying to make it work unless folks think it really is terrible. Any feedback is helpful.

    What makes the average Lemmy user smarter than the rest of the population?

    I’m always surprised by the quality of comments on Lemmy and the analysis provided, often by experts in their field. It gives a sense that the average Lemmy user is a lot smarter than the average member of the public.

    Also, when it comes to politics, I think the average Lemmy user is pretty perceptive of what real power dynamics are at play and what interests society should be looking to promote.

    It's been a pleasure to be on this platform with you all. Where do you all come from? And why is it so hard to find people like you in the real world?

    Anyone shop on Temu? What are your best finds?

    There can be a lot of junk on Temu admittedly, but it’s kind of fun to find a few deals.

    Found a pair of Leatherman Raptor shears ($99 USD) for $12

    Also found a Benchmade Follow Up Fixed Blade ($120 USD) for $16

    Bought a drone for $15. It’s not high quality, but it’s a drone, for $15. Fun to mess around and learn with.

    Anyone else find some deals? Or, got another suggestion besides Temu?
