Why are so many doctors technology illiterate?

Title basically. I’m about midlife crisis age (lol) and I’ve been on computers and technology since I could walk. What is with all these doctors who are barely older than me who can barely use the Internet, don’t know how to type or what an adblocker is? I don’t feel like I can trust a doctor who is ok with malware coming in because they doesn’t run a free adblock or even DNS block. I mean wth?

[Feature Request] Disable Motion/Animation

Hello! I would like the ability to disable user’s animated icons and all playing animation unless I tap on it (gifs/videos playing). The motion is distracting and makes it difficult for me to get immersed in the conversation.

I think one or more toggle switches, or honor the iOS accessibility preferences (Accessibility->Motion->Reduce Motion) would be great. Essentially it would display a placeholder with a “play” triangle, in the center, pointing to the right to indicate a playable video. Except user icons would just display a still without ability to play (except when navigating to the user profile and viewing their image explicitly.

Anyways just some things to think about, actual implementation is up to you. Thanks for consideration!

Chex Quest - Download & Play Our Classic Game - Chex Mix

My childhood favorite game. I remember bugging my father to download Chex Quest 2 from his workplace as Internet wasn’t available at home at that time…and by the time it was, I had moved on. I still break this one out to scoop or zorch some Flemoids. Music wasn’t bad either.

Looks like they have a comic, tunes, and an HD version (available on Steam)…What are you waiting for? Get to zorchin’!

HDMI ARC

Hey all,

Got a soundbar that supports HDMI ARC or optical audio. Optical audio requires I control with its remote but I’d rather only use the TV remote but all of my videos are encoded AAC which HDMI ARC doesn’t support. Is there a way to do a device specific custom profile to transcode audio to DTS for example?

Where to watch online

With all of the language models (ChatGPT, LLaMa, Bard, etc.) popping up, I wanted to rewatch Voyager due to the character development of the doctor and Seven to reawaken my imagination.

I found first season available (with ads) but can’t stream other seasons except on something called Paramount+. I read through the fine print and won’t ever be subscribing to that abusive service. Anyone know where else I might be able to stream the show? Looks like about $80-90 to buy the complete series… ugh

How well does Nextcloud work with fediverse?

I am interested in possibly self hosting a Nextcloud instance. Couple of questions, if I self host a lemmy or pixelfed instance can it source photos or videos from my theoretical Nextcloud instance?

Another question is can I have it only sync while on the WiFi at home instead of over cell? Any way to enable access via wire guard while out and about but then only synch when at home?
