Ah good. Now I know what specs not to buy.

I have an M1 Pro MacBook Pro and really like the fact that I can just plug in an HDMI cable without resorting to dongles. I don’t notice the extra weight. If you already know that you’re going to connect multiple monitors I’d say go for the M1 Pro.

Easy way to save on power.

Don’t worry, with media independence being an area of concern for the EU, and with the Digital Services Act in the process of being enacted, we’ll no doubt soon Brussels-effect your biggest media providers into compliance. The rest will follow soon thereafter.

Not YouTube: too controversial. But I wouldn’t put it past him to start his own federated service.

I don’t need to smoke anything, I simply live in the EU where this is commonplace.

This is a bad look for Apple: it shows that there’s basically no editorial independence at Apple TV, something that has been a well-established feature at for-profit newspapers and television channels for decades. This clearly demonstrates that Apple TV cannot be trusted when it comes to serious news.

Nah, must’ve been thing

Yes: it prevents things like death threats mods have been known to receive on the centralised Lemmy precursor.

I concur. I have one since they’re available. Nothing compares other than my phone display really. Though the refresh rate could be a little higher (and thus the latency a little lower).

In my opinion this runs counter to the idea of federation

The rest of the internet runs counter to the idea of federation, yet Lemmy must work with it.

You mean like lmmy.to?

I posted a script to do just that a while ago.

Like lmmy.to?

This isn’t easy to do yourself: thing is, the way you identified yourself as being “you”, an asymmetric cryptographic key pair associated with your account, got deleted when you removed your account.

If your posts and comments don’t contain any personally identifiable information (that is: no-one can tell it was you who made them) I’d just let it be. Otherwise this is going to be difficult.

An entity outside the EU may still fall under the GDPR. Consult a lawyer.

They’ve set a separate display name that’s show instead of the name that also appears in the URL.

However, these relative links unfortunately don’t work on non-lemmy activitypub sites like mastodon and kbin.

And that’s exactly the reason why I created lmmy.to.

Yeah, it needs some styling. Which is not my thing really. Anyone want to help?

I got error 500 after entering my hostname.

Huh, now it’s doing the same for me too. Yet it worked when I tried it before.

Edit: fixed now. I seem to have accidentally re-introduced a bug somewhere in the process of launching the site.

Yes, because not every link is on Lemmy itself.
