Oh, I see. Thanks.

Thats unfortunate but even at 4k I can’t possibly beat the value at $150 so I will just hold onto it and run it at 4k if necessary.

Oh yeah I did see eDP-1 when I was digging around.

Well it’s Apple so I assume something proprietary.

Ah that’s too bad. Thanks

Not sure what these internal connections are

Literally every connection is internal, outside of the power cable.

Huh?

…They already do? And it’s excellent.

There’s no DisplayPort, I’m using the native internal connections for now.

I’m not sure exactly what you’re asking but I did look in the gnome settings and 5k is not available.

Fat finger.

What software trick is that?

It doesnt appear as 2 displays, just a single 4k one.

I can imagine my peers at my previous work saying go fuck myself if I ever told them they had to install whatever-you-say in order to be able to reach to you.

It’s funny that you see this sort of “entitlement” as a one way street.

Only in my direction it aims to do nothing but preserve both your and your coworkers privacy and security and yours aims to preserve…Meta’s profits? What exactly are you defending again?

So weird how that works.

And you never will if you don’t tell them that’s the only way they can reach you.

As long as you continue allowing them to message you on WA, that’s what you’ll get. And everyone else will have to deal with the consequences of your actions.

Goodbye racist

The whole point of these apps is socializing with people you know, so can you not see how useless of a suggestion it is to recommend Signal?

…you can socialize with all of the same people on Signal? So no.

Signal did itself no favors when it made the bone-headed move of removing SMS

Signal had absolutely never done anything remotely as “bone-headed” as collecting user data and using it to serve you ads.

And please don’t get into the "just convince everyone to use Signal’ argument because it’s completely unrealistic.

It’s not unrealistic. Most people are happy to.

almost all white dudes with the same generic “I’m not like other users” personality

Ah yeah, this seems like a problem for casual racism…

No, folks like you are the problem. Apathy is how we got here in the first place.

Your family seems kind of shitty if they would refuse to install another app to communicate with you. Especially if that other app serves everyone’s best interests…

Quit reposting this shitty meme. It’s not applicable. If you want a society where everyone works for free, you’d better get the ball rolling. Advocating for others to do that while refusing to do it yourself is pure hypocrisy.

Maybe I should start charging you a monthly fee for access to lemmy.ml.

Why would I pay you for something I don’t even use? And you don’t even own? If you want to start your own Lemmy server and charge admission, by all means, go right ahead. But Lemmy by it’s very nature wouldn’t allow for that since there are hundreds of other free servers. You see anyone out there making laptops for free and just giving them away to anyone who wants them? No? What a bunch of assholes!

Lemmy is something people created in their spare time. When they’re not working at their jobs that pay them with money they collect from customers so that they can pay rent and buy food.

This is just such a preposterously insane thing to even put forward.
