My first planetary landing in Elite:Dangerous was something to behold.

Video airplay is just inherently flawed, it seems.

I dug into some forums to try and find a solution to this, and I was able to find a few theories, none of which completely alleviated the issue for me.

Most of them centered around the wifi signal.

If you have a lot of other devices pinging Wi-Fi between your phone and the TV, this can allegedly cause disconnects and de-syncs.

If your wifi is slow, this can allegedly cause disconnects and de-syncs.

If you live in an apartment and your wifi channel is being hugged by other residents, this can allegedly cause disconnects.

I want to re-enforce the notion that none of this fixed the issue for me, but it might be worth going through the motions to see if it does for you, because some people were saying they had success after addressing these issues.

For streaming off of sites, I have actually had resounding success using my LG tv’s web browser. Connect a Bluetooth mouse and keyboard. The browser actually has a built in adblocker. You still have to deal with link redirects occasionally though.

Hard to hear, especially after dumping so much into acquisitions. What will happen to everything under their umbrella?

I don’t see the announcement

I have things configured inverse to the way you do; upvotes and downvotes appear as two separate values next to all comments and posts for me.

I prefer this, because it allows me to get a more refined look at my fellow lemmy users palate for content.

Apple Music, YouTube, and my online banking app.

Switch is an absolute last resort. It only comes out when an exclusive drops, and the exclusives are only played if the switch can actually run them properly.

I haven’t played TOTK yet because of the performance woes.

No way! You cannot possibly fall asleep holding your mouth agape!

It’s definitely a rectangular prism, and how would this be an ad? I admonished the case and only dropped a link when prompted.

You’re right! Most of them aren’t silicone though. Hard plastic

The cases that turn your phone into a sharp-edged rectangular prism are dumb as hell!

That’s a little to belittling, imo. I want to enable other people to explore different possibilities, but I don’t want to put them down for their beliefs.

Even if someone’s beliefs are harmful, confrontation and belittlement will just make them double down, methinks.

When the topic comes up, I keep it short and sweet: “to me, religion is just crowd control”.

What made you think that comment was necessary?

When camping, late at night, a buddy told another one of my buddies:

“If you can see my face, I can’t see anything”.

I thought it was hilarious and concise and it still sticks with me. If your flashlight is illuminating someone’s face, they are being blinded!

I can’t help but feel pity when I see a child or teenager up to their waist in materialism and appearances.

Some day, many of those children will have a brutal awakening when the realize that they can’t live the way they did growing up forever.

Thank you for bringing humor to an otherwise bleak post!

This cuts too deep

It’s an interesting quandary.

There is an inherently higher quality to posts and comments in smaller communities. It’s something many people value.

People flock to the high-quality offerings, and as a result, the quality decreases.

Is there a way to get the best of both worlds, whilst still maintaining A “free speech” ethos?

Typically, enforcing quality standards requires heavy and overbearing moderation that makes the interactions feel artificial.

^ if you can crack that code, you’d be sitting on a goldmine.
