    I can honestly say Ive never used x or twitter. I absolutely hate the format and it seems like a waste of life to scroll through a feed reading quick snippets of text.

    At least with a reddit or Lemmy style social media platform, I can click on the text snippet and be brought to a more in depth post about it. And it’s simple to navigate replies for useful information.

    Twitter is like somebody yelling something from a megaphone, then a crowd of people screaming over them randomly.

    Discord is the next platform that needs to die. Online forums were perfect for what they did, then discord came along and now it’s a nightmare to comb through any type of community or support system for useful information. Again, people screaming into the void…



  • I have a workstation I use for video editing/vfx as well as gaming. Because of my work, I’m fortunate to have the latest high end GPUs and a 160" projector screen. I also have a few TVs in various rooms around the house.

    Traditionally, if I want to watch something or play a video game, I have to go to the room with the jellyfin/plex/roku box to watch something and am limited to the work/gaming rig to play games. I can’t run renders and game at the same time. Buying an entire new pc so I can do both is a massive waste of money. If I want to do a test screening of a video I’m working on to see how it displays on various devices, I have to transfer the file around to these devices. This is limiting and inefficient to me.

    I want to be able to go to any screen in my house: my living room TV, my large projector in my studio room, my tablet, or even my phone and switch between:

    • my workstation display running on a Window 10 VM
    • my linux VM with youtube or jellyfin player I use as a daily driver
    • a fedora or Windows VM dedicated to gaming, maybe SteamOS
    • maybe a friend comes over for a LAN party and we both can game without having to set up a 2nd rig
    • I want to host an LLM or stablediffusion server without having to buy a new GPU with enough VRAM to run SDXL
