Do you screw in both bolts on VGA cables, just the top one or ignore them altogether? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.ml
[–] AlternateRoute@lemmy.ca 58 points 4 days ago (7 children)

Haven't plugged in a VGA cable in a long time. As someone else pointed out it depends if it is temporary or long term.. I always screw them in if it is long term

I think the EU is somewhat FORCING it.. I don't see this as a willing change.

If you do a little googling it is easy to confirm but there is the sexual definition like you where referring to and then there is just the more general relationship definition which is basically the Top is the more dominate / assertive partner and the bottom is the more passive partner.

Not spending hundreds to upgrade my server to support 4K to 4K transcoding. Even accelerated on a VERY recent CPU or GPU Encoding in AV1 is costly while at the same time decoding H.265.

Again Essentially every major browser supports HVEC now, other than Firefox.

It is generally hard to have an opposing opinion or need discussion on the internet without people feeling attacked and start name calling.

Na man I have modern 4k cameras, I need a modern browser.. They have literally build chipsets around this and many standards call for h.264 or h.265. That isn't changing.

Mozilla decided over 8 years ago not to support HVEC because of patents..

Core web app compatibility vs ..... "enhanced" ad blocking. MS teams and some other business tools also don't support Firefox but work fine in Chrome and Safari.

It is something the Firefox team needs to work on again. I used Firefox from when it was released until Chrome came out and mopped the floor with it. At the time Firefox became the bloated beast and went through a reset.

Unfortunately trying to have a firm stance on not implementing HVEC when they no longer had the largest market share was a bad move and they seem to be slowly back tracking on that.

Not when you are using an NVR with scrubbing and everything in the web UI. https://frigate.video/

All in all it would be an inconvenient workaround for something that already works seamlessly across Safari, Edge, Chrome etc.

Night, windows only, and needs to be enabled with about: config.. ie it almost has some support maybe. Also doesn't work via webrtc so it doesn't actually help me with the viewing the security cam feeds.

Make Text filters community specific / field specific (lemmy.ca)
 

There are several common words and terms I would like to stop seeing posts about but only in specific communities. Having the words or terms blocked in other communities or global matches too many things.

It would also be nice for the filter to be Title, URL or body specific.

Remote Play Together (limits) (lemmy.ca)
 

I was recently trying to get some of the 4 player local games I have to work remotely.. Some have native multiplayer but with limitations (castle crashers only lets two local and two remote players play) bople battle only allows one local player in remote multi player mode.

However for both the above I was able to get remote play together working which basically let me map the remote player to a controller and play the game in local mode.

This however only worked on these games, I THINK they are linux native.. Games that didn't work / provide no controller mapping for remote play together Streets of rage 4, TMNT Redders revenge did not work. These games show support for remote play together in the steam library but I suspect the limitation is on the steam deck?

Anyone else have experience with Remote Play Together on the steam deck? It is nice as the remote party doesn't need a copy of the game and as noted gets around some of the multi player limits of some games.

Any suggestions? Alternatives? Tweaks?

Profile Overview placement of score and link icons / overflow (lemmy.ca)
 

Due to variable subject length and these items being part of the same line as the subject they get pushed around a lot which makes them hard to see find when scrolling through history.

Would be nice if these links / scores where at the front of the subject OR the "next line" to be consistent.

(URGENT) Lemmy has an XSS vulnerability in the sidebar (lemmy.ca)
 

cross-posted from: https://sh.itjust.works/post/923025

lemmy.world is a victim of an XSS attack right now and the hacker simply injected a JavaScript redirection into the sidebar.

It appears the Lemmy backend does not escape HTML in the main sidebar. Not sure if this is also true for community sidebars.

When you opening discussions from your profile (lemmy.ca)
 

When opening a discussion/comment from your profile / history you only see the replies to your comment.

Is there any way to expand all the replies to the topic? I don’t see any way do to that?

Search and filtering? (lemmy.ca)
 

Is there a way to search posts within a community?

I see there is a NSFW filter but is there or is it planned to have a text / post filter? I would really love of not see the constant posts about what is going on at Reddit or Twitter anymore. I left, I am done with that.

How does lemmy.ca or any instance plan to support it self? (lemmy.ca)
 

Just curious as this is all fun and open till it scales to expensive. What is the lemmy.ca plan to sustain / fund it self?

Constant donation nagging like Wikipedia?
