Who is doing the most good in the world, and how?
  • Yep, 2.4 million estimated lives saved across 60 years of weekly donations. He's the kind of human you write songs about. Retired from donating at doctors behest in 2018. I hope he inspired new donors.

  • Movies that would make a good TV series?
  • Not sure if joking...?

    It's out in like a month, yo. https://m.imdb.com/title/tt6486762

  • Saudi Arabia makes USB-C mandatory for electronic devices
  • Just about everything except truly basement-tier China tech sitting in warehouses has C now so you'll soon be glad to have the ports.

    USB C is a form factor (pretty little reversible oval cable). Thunderbolt is a protocol and yes it uses USB C for the form factor. Other protocols on USB C cabling include 2.0 (ancient speed, used for charging only these days), 3.1 (old speed) 3.2 (slightly old but also not, it's weird, and most common nowadays), DisplayPort (lovely modern video standard), and USB4 (which is newest and fast, but not quite as fast as TB). Decent rule of thumb is USB4 will always be one step behind Thunderbolt in speed (currently ~80gbps vs 40gbps in USB4). The cable will work at the fastest speed permitted by both devices. If they both have TB, then TB speed and power. If only one is TB, it'll go at USB speed over yes the same cable because...

    Lastly, any proper spec cable will negotiate the best, safest power transfer between chargers and devices. So just don't buy complete junk, read a couple reviews, you'll almost certainly be fine.

  • Man Charged With Harassing 2SLGBTQ+ Activist's Terminally Ill Father Has Neo-Nazi Ties
  • I'm not an expert on the topic; it's just something I've read about and wanted to share. Wouldn't want to get the more intricate details wrong. I think it's great you want to learn more though. It's fascinating stuff. I'd recommend checking out better sources than I.

  • Man Charged With Harassing 2SLGBTQ+ Activist's Terminally Ill Father Has Neo-Nazi Ties
  • Gonna be the optimist here and simply educate.

    America isn't the whole world. This article is Canadian. Canada's First Nations (and all Indigenous but especially them) believe one version of gender nonconformity comes from the person being of two spirits simultaneously. Hence two-spirit (2S). Today you're one of the 10,000. Congrats.

  • Who here has had a chance to play the new Final Fantasy 16 demo? What are your thoughts?
  • @KillaBeez

    I had a blast. As a lifelong FF fan since III, I love the return to medieval fantasy. The combat felt so good with that DMC / Bayonetta touch. And while the story isn't world-changing, it is at least more adult and the actors seem to be giving it their all. The main con is just the frame rate dip -- even on Performance mode -- during the biggest environments and most epic scenes. If reviews say that's extent of it and it doesn't get worse through the entire game, I can stomach it. If it struggles, then I'll be at least waiting for the first major patch or possibly the PC release.

  • If you want to host and manage your own Lemmy instance but are intimidated by the technical requirements, I can help!
  • My two cents, I had a wobbly Lemmy instance setup that couldn't do HTTPS, federation, and stay stable all at once. It was always 1 or 2 of those 3 at best.

    Switched my instance to kbin, which took about a half hour of CLI and after that has been a joy. It's just younger and admittedly less feature packed right now.
