Thanks for this - have said before I would gladly pay to support this.

As I understand it, part of the issue on kbin is that the default federation threads value is too low for large sized instances.

I gather this will improve over time.

Indeed - what you describe is why I'm really not worried about fragmentation. Federation means you'll be able to see all of the relevant communities, and you can decide to subscribe to any or all of them.

As the name suggests - patient gamers.

Mostly it's for discussing games that came out a while ago that you're just now getting around to. You get the benefit of the bugs largely having been fixed and being able to get the game for a much lower price than what it released at.

It's also quite liberating getting to explore some real gems without having your perception distorted by the hype-train.

Welcome.

A lot of this. But also things like developers doing things in an inefficient way, which the driver can then optimise for.

It's not that game developers are intentionally not using GPUs properly, but the companies behind these GPUs are in a really good position to easily see if there's something that they can do on their end to improve performance with specific games.

A lot of learning and reading. I spent most of my time on Reddit just lurking and reading things, but I can't help but notice the overall higher quality of conversation here. I'm pretty happy.

Keep in mind that you don't have to use Lemmy - kbin works as well with the same communities.

I've been using both, but my point is, it's nice to have options.

Indeed - to be clear I don't have a problem with swearing, but it definitely adds to the overall better vibe over here.

Regardless of what happens with Reddit I intend to stay.

Indeed. Give it time and Lemmy and kbin will have some excellent alternatives.

Previous commenter is incorrect - you can export up to 4k with the free version.

A thousand times this. I have no idea why this isn't a more popular option. Also it isn't limited to HD - it's limited to 4k.

I'd imagine if it shocks you it's down to a grounding issue. The power in the HDMI spec wouldn't be transmitted through the shielding (at least, I hope not...).
