  • I visit the Ukraine livethread on worldnews once a day and that is it. I use Lemmy or Mastodon mostly.

    I am not logged into my reddit account, and ads are blocked. I use a VPN. I cancelled my reddit premium subscription when the API changes were announced.

  • I don’t think many objected to monetizing the API.

    The issue is cost, and the lack of time for transition.

    The Apollo developer said it clearly: How the hell do you put millions of dollars on a credit card. Oh and I am pretty sure a debit card would not allow a million dollar transaction even IF the user had the money to pay it.

    If Reddit had announced reasonable pricing 6-12 months in advance, most apps could have transitioned, including Apollo.

    Reddit also could have required Reddit Premium for API access and offered revenue sharing for app developers that onboarded users.

    There were so many better ways to handle this.

  • To store digitally you would need a compression algorithm. Pretty much all video compression algorithms are lossy, which means you automatically lose detail.

    Storing an uncompressed video isn’t feasible as each frame could be hundreds of megabytes (or more) in size. This is due to resolution + color info + audio channels.

  • After the election year they should kill kill the filibuster, provided (sane) democrats have a majority. Then they can spend 4 years fixing the courts, passing legislation like this, and solving gerrymandering.

    Of course, it will never happen, but one can dream.

  • You only need a thunderbolt 4 to displayport cable. No dock needed. Most docks are USB-C based (unless you buy a thunderbolt dock) don’t support higher resolutions and may or may not support proper refresh rates.

  • They are telling you not to use ANY dock. Connect the cable to the monitor.

    My Macbook drives a 144hz 4K display, so your issue is not your Mac unless you have an Intel based Mac.

    Likely it is either the cable or user error.
