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 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.

I just drove through western Kansas on my way to colorado.... What the Fuck is with all the trump stuff? (lemmy.world)

It’s hard to pin an exact number, but throughout western Kansas’s ~400 mi slog to Colorado, I was forced to view semi trailers with trump’s visage printed on the side, hilariously corny White Jesus signs, and Anti-Abortion signs approximately every ten miles.

I found it so disheartening, knowing that someone went through the effort of painting a semi trailer with Trump’s face on it and planting it right next to the interstate.

What does this accomplish? Who’s vote is being swayed by this garish tribute?

I have seen endless discussions online about Trump fans being culty, but this (apart from the coal rollers with flags) is the first time I’ve seen this type of undying loyalty in the wild.

The Jesus and anti-abortion signs are painful, but nowhere near as painful as these Trump shrines.

I am interested in the opinions of anybody, regardless of political affiliation. What do you think of this?

Also, I’m sorry I didn’t get a picture. I feel like the guy that claims he saw a UFO but has nothing to show for it. If anyone is driving through Kansas on their way to Colorado or vice Versa, PLEASE try and snag a picture of these Jesus signs and Trump trailers, so that people can properly contextualize this post.

gonna need an official statement (lemmy.world)
 

How did this breach happen?

What information was compromised?

Are admins present 24/7, or are they lumped into specific time zones?

What steps will be taken in the future to prevent breaches such as this?

Will Meta's Threads app federate with other services? (lemmy.world)
 

If this is the case, I urge EVERY instance admin across all currently federated apps to blacklist threads.

If threads is allowed to federate with these apps, it will outweigh all contributions to these apps, and when Meta eventually defederates (which they will), the vast majority of the community will be lost.

PLEASE HEED THIS WARNING!
