AOC came out swinging against age verification legislation and somehow the entire tech press seems to not have noticed?

To understand what it's like for trans people watching all this "nuanced reasonable debate" bullshit flow, just imagine all the "serious people" having a debate about abortion where the only participants are people who will never have an abortion.

Oh, wait

Ahhhhh I seeβ€” Yeah, This wouldn't be the first time that I've seen Apple disregard for the cheaper edge-case. "Expensive edge-case? Sure, we'll support that. Cheaper edge-case? Nah, spend more money!" So annoying

Is the KVM USB 3 or Thunderbolt? I worry that Apple's wording is very specific here and maybe there is Thunderbolt support, but *not* DisplayPort over USB support?

(although I think this is a muddle issue now, as USB 4 = Thunderbolt 3 or something? Crikey)

How many displays can be connected to MacBook Pro - Apple Support The number of external displays that you can use at the same time depends on your Mac model and the resolution and refresh rate of each display.

πŸ˜΅β€πŸ’«

<<Supports two displays in the following configuration:
Two displays up to a native resolution of 6K (6144 x 3456) at 60Hz or 4K (3840 x 2160) at 144Hz over Thunderbolt or HDMI>>

source: support.apple.com/en-us/101571

So it sounds like it should work over Thunderbolt, and YETβ€” πŸ™

Oh! Wait, that's good news, right?

You just have to go into System Settings, click "Displays" on the left side, then click the monitor and make sure it's set to "Extended Display" instead of "Mirror for..."

It’s weird, because I feel like I’m doing a similar thingβ€” Plenty of people (including me) use something like my CalDigit TS3 Plus Thunderbolt dock to plug one cable to their Macthat supplies power to their Mac, but expands out to my 4K over DisplayPort, Ethernet, and more Thunderbolt and USB ports

Ohhh, fascinating! I don’t know my stuff well enough, but DisplayPort protocol is supposed to be able to run over Thunderbolt 3, as well as some later version of USB 3, right? πŸ€” hmm

It *should* work, so I'm puzzledβ€” What chip (M1 Max, M3 Pro, etc) do you have? What adapter?

I'm pleased to announce that @doonpook.bsky.social and I will be debuting our brand new pilot script, NPCs, as a table-read at the Joy Who Lived festival on April 12th!

The tavern is for tourists, and the "side quests" are their entire lives.

lol incredible AIPAC ad. Quoting Kat's high school newspaper from when she was literally 16 years old. An AI generated campaign pin that gives up on spelling her name, seemingly making her Hawaiian. Another AI generated pin that makes Marco Rubio extremely handsome for no reason. Fantastic work. πŸ§‘β€πŸ³πŸ˜˜
