When I checked the Fedi alternatives were far-right hangouts. Part of that unfortunate “free speech absolutist” == “asshole” phase.

It’s not Fediverse but I like Nebula. It’s more like a co-op so I don’t mind paying for it at all.

There are lots of ways to start a war but they all end the same: everyone sitting down to discuss peace. For some reason, no one thinks to try discussing peace first.

No. DisplayLink is video out over a regular USB protocol/connection, not “alt mode”. It’s for when you don’t have true video out. It’s compressed to hell and stupid.

Video out is frustratingly uncommon. Samsung, some Sony’s, and only very recently Pixels. Google was vocally against video out for a long time. And SD cards (gotta pay for drive). You were expected to roll the dice with whether Chromecast works with a random TV and wifi combination.

Pixels were popular for two reasons: the camera and “basic black rectangle” device (RIP Nexus).

Like most things the GOP says, they’re lying or exaggerating.

You need to show proof of identity/citizenship to register to vote. As one piece of this process, you may choose to use your SS card. You must vote at your local polling place (or by mail). You can not travel to some other city to vote.

Organized vote fraud would be hard to do and hard to hide. The only cases were MAGA people trying to “balance out the vote fraud” from the other guys. And they were caught.

I don’t think Postgres shouldn’t be just left as :latest or anything. At least the way I handle it, DB upgrades require manual intervention.
