Hm no luck for me - I’m using a BenQ gaming projector so I’m not sure if TVs and Projectors behave differently in terms of HDMI. Sometimes I still need to “power cycle” the AC adapter to get an image after just switching from gaming mode to desktop mode
Ha I had the same habit but the deck is a little bit away and sometimes its a pain (especially while eating) to set everything down to go power on the deck. That’s what led me to chase WoL (and now power on AC)
Hm interesting - try unplugging the charger from the back of the dock and plugging it back in while the deck is still awake, that’s what this approach hopes to automate
The fact that it just spits out a CSV in an announcement post per subreddit that you have to manually download and CTRL+F your username is hilarious for a company this big. They couldn’t implement a proper dashboard?
Well think about it with this crude kind of inaccurate analogy.
You have a windows laptop. Your friend has a windows laptop. When you're logged in to your laptop you can send your friend email. And see his emails to you.
But just because your laptop is windows and his laptop is windows doesn't mean your windows log-in would work on his right? Lemmy works more like that. Reddit is kind of like one large windows laptop and everyone gets their own keyboard. Your log in works no matter which keyboard you use.
You may notice that Lemmy communities have the @ symbol like an email. So tech@lemmy.world is different from tech@lemmy.ml (just like how robert@yahoo.com is not the same account as robert@gmail.com). They MAY be made by the same Robert but there's no guarantee.
You really just need one account. So in the communities tab from your instance (Lemmy.world) you can search for the community on the other instance (Lemmy.ml) for example tech@lemmy.ml.
Your account let's you post and comment on @lemmy.ml posts
I've been exploring the fediverse and subbing and posting all over the damn place. Realizing lemmy can federate with kbin blew my mind. Not to mention the possibility of turning my old laptop into a personal server to host my own instance. Is this what it felt like to discover how the internet worked in the 90s?
I cannot put into words how profoundly stupid this "feature" is. AOL and Geocities pages were genuinely more user friendly. Whoever added it, refreshed the page and said "yeah, this works well" and left it in should be fired! ...out of a cannon and into the Sun!
Not only is this a way for you to keep your stuff, inform you what reddit knew about you and in general good to do with services you use every now and then - it also tends to be quite expensive operation for tech companies that aren't quite operationally mature yet....
A fellow mod informed me that about it as I was laying in bed. Reddit sent a message to the mod team and after 1 hour demoded me. I didn't even had time to see it, never-mind respond to it....
Eh. You never know. People leave breadcrumbs of useful info in what they deem not useful. Further, things that you might not think twice about (ex: casually mentioning what car you drive, a coffee shop you went to that day) might reveal a lot of information (eg: your political leaning, rough geographic info etc). If you still have access to an old account, dig through your comments pretending to be a spy (or marketing agent) trying to learn as much about you as possible, with 0 prior knowledge - you might be surprised how much you learn.
Honestly, the balance I've struck is that Reddit is purely for research now, like Wikipedia. I refuse to engage with it on a daily basis or use it for my social interaction needs but I decided to not avoid its massive database of useful info just because continued daily interaction is a pain
It sucks man. I've had similar experiences with my dad. There comes a point in life where you realize that not sharing a close passion or hobby with the people you love is OK. The love from the community is just as good. Yes it's great if you can bond over the same things but at the end of the day it's totally OK to NOT share a passion too.
And who knows, if Reddit gets worse he might switch or get more interested - this is just the beginning. For me, I just learned not to push the topic if my dad wasn't interested. You can lead a horse to water but you can't make it drink.
I'd just do me own thing and if he ever comes to me later with questions I'm happy to chat and show him the ropes.
For example he wasn't too interested in the Right to Repair talk, but I got him a Framework Laptop and he had to replace the Keyboard and found it so easy. I think he gets it now. But for 20+ years he was hardcore ThinkPad.
Give it time. If your dad never switches that's OK too. Just share memes and content and don't worry too much about the platform.
