I've yet to see a new dank meme on Lemmy.

I've seen more internet outrage directed at LTT than at trafficking.

Ironically enough, some of the Linux certification exams only work on Windows and macOS.

People don't tend to keep phones for more than few years. On the other hand, I have LCD computer monitors that I still use over a decade later.

What really kills OLED displays is persistent static elements. These are common for desktop usage: persistent taskbar/dock, desktop wallpaper, window buttons, tiling, GUI elements and HUDs in gaming. All of these things significantly increase the chance of getting burn-in within a few years.

OLED fanatics suggest it's all user fault, that people should just use a solid black background for their desktop wallpaper (ugly), have a auto-hiding taskbar (inconvenient) and limit time spent on programs/games (really). Basically rather than using the computer the way you want, you have to carefully handle it like an egg. An expensive egg at that, since OLED displays are still ridiculously overpriced (often costing more than equivalent TVs).

Some book clubs are open for everyone.

Don't they typically do minor anti-burn in changes during idle, basically having a built-in screensaver?

That's what the display makers claim, in order to avoid too many customer complaints. In reality you're still likely to get burn-in within a few years of monitor use, and when you ask for warranty support you'll get denied claiming "you used the display wrong".

With the increasing popularity of OLED displays, screensavers might make a comeback. Although I still think OLED displays aren't worth it.

Yeah and I imagine these book clubs don't meet particularly late.

Same. I also found one in my city, might have to come by sometime.

It's not sleeping I'm worried about, it's not waking up.

I could get into ITB even though I loved FTL.

You want reviews from a large number of individuals

This isn't that helpful either. I end up getting lost because of all the different opinions. For example Starfield as a recent example, professional reviews are mostly positive but individual opinions are all over the place. I am left confused.
