Fair. I'm sure it will be challenging to retain our low touch policy as the instance and / or the lemmiverse continues to grow. The laissez-faire approach only works for so long.

Lemmy.today isn't unmoderated.
Hi, Admin from lemmy.today here. I'm certainly not a fascist and I wouldn't be associated with any instance or participate on an Admin Team that is.
Speaking of Admin Teams I think every member of ours (including me) has separately investigated the accusation that DJM and UM are the same person and to date none of us have come up with anything. We have engaged with several Lemmy users from other instances who claimed to have proof but none of them provided anything other than conjecture and accusation.
If you, or anyone else, actually has some proof feel free to message any member of the lemmy.today admin team.
I'm an Admin on lemmy.today and the accusation that DJM is UM (and others) occasionally comes up. Both I and @mrmanager@lemmy.today have looked into it and neither of us have ever been able to find any kind of proof.
I've engaged with several Lemmy users who supposedly had proof but they were unable to provide anything better than what OP has up above. It's always loose conjecture and "trust me, bro".
Yes the DJM account is annoying but that's not enough to get banned from our instance.
This is why many of the expensive Dock options from HP / Dell / Lenovo, etc come with a non-detachable USB-C cable. You can't have the "wrong" cable because the one you need isn't removable.
Nah, I don't blame you. The list of crap that I had to allow under "required" to read the article was preposterous.
But why does the HDMI forum not want a open source 2.1-compliant implementation?
To my knowledge they've never officially said but you can be sure that it has to do with Content Protection and that means DRM. An Open Source HDMI 2.1+ driver would make pirating much simpler, probably trivial and they don't want that.
It's possible anyway of course but there are a couple of hardware hoops to jump through and that's enough to keep most people from doing it.
Odd, I have three screens active on my Mint desktop right now. I'll have to try this on my Mint laptop and see what happens.
A couple of them have been built and they’re just sitting there unpowered
Most of them in California because that State simply cannot get its shitty power grid sorted out. The damn thing barely works at the best of times due to a combination of corruption, greed, and Government interference.
As an example the utility company promised Digital Realty and Stack Infrastructure that they'd have the power ready for them by the time their DCs were built but...SURPRISE...they lied. The only fault for DR and SI here is trusting a California Utility to deliver on their promise.
Power availability is actually a primary consideration when choosing a location for a Data Center. Sometimes they'll site a DC even if there isn't enough power and then build out the power generation that they need.
An example are the two DCs that Microsoft is building in Cheyenne, Wyoming and the absolutely massive 1.2 Million panel solar farm being built to power them. https://cowboystatedaily.com/2024/05/11/massive-1-2-billion-1-2-million-panel-solar-farm-planned-for-south-cheyenne/
This is at least the second time that Microsoft has done this in Cheyenne. In 2016 they contracted for 237 MW of Wind Energy, which led to the Chokecherry and Sierra Madre wind farms being built / expanded. https://blogs.microsoft.com/on-the-issues/2016/11/14/latest-energy-deal-microsofts-cheyenne-datacenter-will-now-powered-entirely-wind-energy-keeping-us-course-build-greener-responsible-cloud/
No matter what you think of AI the folks that engineer these DCs aren't stupid. They are well aware of their extreme power requirements.
That image is simultaneously awesome and horrific. 10 of 10, great work!

When I say "DJM" I am referring to DonaldJMusk.
You obviously have another account because the one you're commenting from is only 6 hours old, has just 1 post (this one) and only 17 comments (all in here). I checked because I wanted to see one of these accounts harassing you and look into it. Unfortunately there's nothing for me to see so there's nothing I can do.
My suggestion would be to report the user accounts that are causing you grief to the admins of the accounts home instance and then block them. Takes like 15 seconds to do both of those actions.
Sadly my wife isn't into sharing, otherwise I might be interested. 😘
