Gonna go with you on this one.

Fair enough. Thanks!
If you don't mind me asking, do you see private instances as being sustainable for an individual, in the long run? I went that route with Mastodon and realized that with the nature of how it all works there would be a lot of overhead, for some time to come, with having to perform pre-fetch tricks to see follow-ups and stuff like that.
My initial impression is that Lemmy might be easier to contend with because each instance has it's own channels (pardon if that's the wrong term; I've been here all of 5 seconds) so the whole conversation is instantly available anytime you select a post. Just weighing whether going the private route is a good choice before I really start branching out and establishing my "identity".
Literally, first thing I thought when I opened the app was, "ugh, no compact mode". Glad to see this on the roadmap.
I picked up the first generation with the M1 Max. As much as I would've liked the Ultra, for geek cred, I couldn't justify it for what I do.
Fantastic machine. Runs quiet and cool. Tackles everything I throw at it without issue. While I'm no pro I spend quite a bit of time in Final Cut and not having to hear jet-plane like fans all the time almost justifies the cost by itself.
I will absolutely not miss the Intel days. The last several years have been abysmal. Having to follow along with Intel’s roadmap actually made some product releases objectively worse than their predecessors. I was so disgusted with the 2017 series of MacBook Pros I was convinced I’d never buy another Apple desktop or laptop. The move to Apple Silicon fixed that. I’ve since picked up a new 16” MacBook Pro and the Mac Studio.
Now we just need them to cleanup MacOS itself. Having been daily driving the Sonoma beta, it looks like they’re on a good path on that front as well.
Glad to see this change, finally. I have one purpose for VPN, professional cycling. In Europe there are hundreds of races a year all broadcast by Eurosport/GCN. Here in the States the rights are split up amongst three or four different properties, including Peacock, basic cable and others, for the same exact broadcasts. I have no problem paying for the content but trying to find where and when each broadcast is going to take place is a horror show. Turn on the VPN, bang, everything in one app.
Everything is struggling due to the Reddit influx. The closer you are to the top of lists like awesome-lemmy-instances the more you're getting crushed right now. Also means already strugglling instances are going to struggle even more.
Possible but not “out of the box”, per se. some technological assistance is needed and if it doesn’t already exist within your own or your ISPs infrastructure it’s beyond the capabilities of a typical consumer.
