Have I said anything in favor of crippling lower end cards or that these high prices of the high end cards are good? My only argument was that 4K displays in the PC space being the standard was simply delusional because the stats say something wholly different.

That would be ideal, true.

That doesn’t really matter if people on PC don’t game on it, does it?

These are the primary display resolutions from the Steam Hardware Survey.

4k displays are not at all standard and certainly not for a decade. 1440p is. And it hasn’t been that long since the market share of 1440p overtook that of 1080p according to the Steam Hardware survey IIRC.

Personally I would prefer a subscription instead of ads. I hate ads. I’d rather pay directly.

If Bluesky has an algorithm, I haven’t seen it. I get chronological posts from the accounts I follow with an occasional and subtle suggestion to follow other similar accounts. Many of the accounts I follow are news outlets, journalists, civic leaders, etc. Some of the accounts I followed on Twitter are finally joining Bluesky while less than a fraction of those are on Mastodon.

Bluesky does it even better IMO. Their default feed is a chronological feed of all the people you follow and you can add additional feeds that have their own algorithms (You can even create your own either with simple logic through something like skyfeed.app or code it entirely from scratch). This makes it much easier to choose what you want to see compared to Mastodon.

The feeds are the strongest feature Bluesky has.

Wow, I wouldn’t have thought that Apple Mail is more popular than Gmail.

On Bluesky you can choose which algorithm/s you want to see though and even create your own.

I don’t see myself ever giving up cheese.

Never say never. I thought the same for some time.

There are other ways to increase company value that do not necessarily result in Q/Q / Y/Y profit increases.

Can you name some examples? I’m not very familiar with economics.

No, you are correct. If you are the only person accessing the service you don’t need to open any ports since you access your network via Wireguard anyway.

You count as active if you post, comment or vote.

Well, Microsoft has at least.

There are so many different ways they could create value.

Such as?

What is the best practice currently?

I wonder if Mozilla could’ve been Proton

I wonder if Proton will someday in the future add a browser to the tools they offer.

Due to YouTube Music being included in that it’s way too expensive for just removing ads. They need to add a tier that’s cheaper to just remove ads.

It took me about a month maybe.

It tries to install the associated package when given a path to a configuration file.

Then you misunderstood me because I know that Bluesky is not part of the fediverse. With my comment I was trying to say that I would be happy to be able to communicate solely in ATProto apps with one account instead of with multiple accounts in ActivityPub.
