it’s groundhog day with guns. Just google it.

what a comeback

yep, a tiny boot error and suddenly you need to punch commands into initramfs. good luck with that headlessly.

asshole design

I’m lying ofc. I’m running 3k displays out of an old Thinkpad. They only need to display terminals and vim, so I don’t care too much about tearing or whatever. I have easily set it up by following this guide: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/DisplayLink

I’m very confused about your deduction skills. But I confirm, even the arch wiki cannot help with making a docking station work on a random consumer laptop powered by shintel thunderbolt non-standard. It’s an unbelievable rare occasion, but we must admit, the arch wiki has failed their followers here. It cannot be blamed, yet we still mourn.

Dummy, you’re talking about 2 displays in 4k while using a “type-c to HDMI+DP” whatever docking. There are no laptops out there that have two connection standards simultaneously wired to one type-c port. I don’t know your laptop model or the docking station model, and yet I can guarantee that you’re using a DisplayLink or a similar trash technology. While you, the owner, are utterly clueless, yet throw around 4k60fps.

Your hardware setup excludes any possibility of good graphics or smooth rendering. On any platform. It works on windows so that excel monkeys could connect two monitors to their outdated laptops. And nobody who used their screens for more than text editing should be using this tech.

Now, please, go write to the customer support line of DisplayLink asking them why are they a greedy corpo, and wouldn’t they be so kind to finally fuckin submit a working driver to the linux kernel. They’re like 5 years late on that.

Here, they would love your “Unsolicited Idea Submission”: https://support.displaylink.com/

It’s your mom’s fault that “linux is struggling with basic functionality”. I mean it. She raised an illiterate.

As for the answer to why, a quick google search will explain to you that most docking stations do not properly work with Linux because their manufacturers refuse to write linux drivers for them. If your docking station works at all it’s because someone very talented has spent their free time reverse engineering the box and writing a driver.

Now, please, go back to windows, linux will be better off without users that have your attitude.

bleah

You have correctly identified that it’s not a lack of technological advancement that is holding our society back.

Now go solve social sciences, economics, psychology, and neuroscience. Come back and we’ll talk about how to design a world where nobody happens to install a motion sensor with a wrong range.

Went to check. Turns out this time it’s not the case.

The Museum’s founders were very much aware that a large majority of mining communities around Appalachia and, indeed, around the state and nation no longer exist. Many individuals who grew up in these coal camp communities now have sons, daughters, and grandchildren who have grown up hearing the stories about what life was like in the coal camps. However, for many of those people who want to share that coal camp experience with their own children and grandchildren they cannot go home again, because so many of the state’s mining communities have been abandoned and torn down. It was with this thought in mind that the Museum’s collection was assembled and is housed in the wonderfully-restored Benham company store.

The goal in the development of the Museum, was to tell the story. It is the story of coal in Kentucky, and the story of the thousands of workers, most of who came from the Deep South and Eastern Europe to escape poverty, and build a better life for their families. Their stories are told at the Kentucky Coal Museum, perhaps as well as they are told anywhere in the world.

It’s a museum. It doesn’t say “coal mining is a great technology of the future”. It says “here’s this thing of the past we used to do”. Or do you also expect a paleontological museum to only employ dinosaurs?

wow, look at this welcoming community. 4/1 to this guy.

I understand, you democratically represent lemmy. Be happy in your echo chamber.

I’m pro universal basic income and a 99% tax after something around a few mil of annual income. I’d generally advocate for a societal system where such wealth accumulation by an individual is impossible.

“Lefties” like you make me sick to my stomach. You can only whine your jealous tears and complain about the housing market. You’re the reason everyone thinks the left are a bunch of idiot kids in colorful clothes. In a utopic communist society you’d be leeching off while whining about how everyone keeps working even though it’s clearly unnecessary.

we got enough political BS all over the platform. But sure, I guess people who don’t want to see repeated “capitalism bad” in every community in every post should just leave lemmy.

Blame the society and suffer all your life.

Or find a job with a flexible schedule, or in a timezone behind you. Find hobbies that are late in the evening, or move to a country where people casually have dinners at 10pm (all mideterrian Europe).
