DisplayPort gang rise up

First off: cables don’t have version numbers. The host and the client have ports that adhere to a certain spec and the HDMI foundation made that very unclear by incorporating 2.0b into 2.1 and now not every 2.1 port supports the same things. Cables are defined by their max bandwidth, i.e. high speed, ultra high speed or high speed with ethernet. You might see marketers saying something is a 2.1 cable, that just means it is capable of supporting some or all of the 2.1 spec.

Second: the only reason to get new HDMI cables, like you said, is if you currently have a very old one and have devices that actually make use of the bandwidth. And I’ll tell you right now, most of the high speed cables will do just fine. It’s when you start doing 8k120 with HDR and VRR with eARC you’ll need heftier cables. The only external devices to support that, though, are either supplied with cables because their makers don’t want you bottlenecking your device, or they are PCs.

Third: the only reason HDMI is even a thing is because this joint venture behind it successfully lobbied their inferior product to TV manufacturers. DisplayPort has always been and will always be the better interface for video.

One of em pays us no mind and just meows if she needs food or attention. One other shows signs of understanding the roles but not much else. And then there’s the third one. Food is still the main motivation, but that little girl shows a lot of affection and love, joy, anger, appreciation to us. I’ve never seen anything like it.

Actually the proper term is ‘billenkoek’

I’m about as western European white as it gets. I was very much into hip hop when I was in high school, though not specifically into African-American culture as a whole.

That said, I’ve always been a big admirer of the spirit shown within the culture. Especially how the plight of slavery has had such an impact, it created a sort of shared understanding and development.

I feel the need here to emphasise that slavery is a horrible concept and I am not making light of any positive effect it may have had.

It was when I started watching Lovecraft Country that I delved into the song Sinnerman. It was the soundtrack of the show and the show does touch on class struggle in the United States circa 1950.

But the passion, the sheer soul of these kinds of songs, like Sinnerman, and how they travel through time and space, it’s just special in a way that is hard to describe.

Any culture is always far more profound than just certain aspects that pop up and pique your interest. But it is very interesting how something like that is a way to get a deeper understanding of some things.

I’m trying to phrase this as carefully as possible but I am very aware that I am on the outside of this culture and can’t begin to understand any of it fully or the way it was intended.

What if your therapist’s name is Bart?

They split when she was 3. Stayed with her mum. She remarried but that didn’t last.

Yeah my wife is this. I think it’s the direct result of bad stuff happening and getting told it’s not your fault. At some point you start believing nothing is your fault. The other side of it is believing everything is your fault.

It’s a matter of responsibility. Taking responsibility for everything is hard on you. Taking responsibility for nothing makes your actions hard on others.

Thanks for sharing, turned it off on my tv and shared it

I think I need to read up on the fediverse a bit more. Technically it looks like anything in the fediverse at the moment is ActivityPub, even though it supports 3 more protocols. At this point, only Hubzilla uses something other than ActivityPub, even though it also makes use of AP. I was confused because Matrix is also an open protocol and also federated. I had figured everything federated could talk to each other underneath… That’d be the dream, right?

Hmm okay. I’ve logged into Element with my lemmy.world account though

My stationary bike has a display that tracks loads of stuff but there’s also a phone/tablet holder if you prefer an app. You can use anything you want but you just gotta commit to a certain run plan.

As for me, I do about 10 minutes at low resistance, high pace. My dash shows me a virtual speed indication. I do the first 10 minutes around 25 kph.

Then I slowly move through the gears and try to keep the pace flat. After 25 minutes I do a short intermission where I get the lowest gear and paddle loose the legs.

Then the buildup again and trying to keep the pace above the previous pace.

Essentially it’s all about what you want to gain.

For strength, you’ll do better with explosive bouts (after proper warmup or you’ll tear off your leg muscles). For endurance, it’s all about keeping up a pace in intervals. The higher the pace you can consistently keep during a set time period (for instance an hour), the better, but it’s important to find your base level first by taking it easy. Consistency is key above all else.

Keep in mind that if endurance is your goal, you should never think ‘oh this is going pretty easy, I can take it up a notch’ because you might not last the full hour without over exerting yourself which will lead to sore muscles. The other way around is also true, though: don’t give up if it gets tough. But there’s a difference between stretching your comfort zone and going outside the lines.

This is actually brilliant. If he wouldn’t have made this error, nobody would’ve read what he said because it’s all a dime a dozen at this point. Most folks will know not to make light of the whole thing but now a lot more people have read his words. I wonder if it was on purpose.

Yeah that looks awesome. I’ll be playing this a lot.

I think Element does what you’re looking for. Get yourself a fediverse account, log in and watch it go. Difficulty, as ever, is getting your contacts to switch.

Oh good, they finally annexed Canada and Mexico
