Ew, slop.

Full disclosure, there’s things I don’t understand about it. BUT, for example, lemmyshitpost:

https://lemmy.world/c/lemmyshitpost

To view it on kbin you can just search “lemmyshitpost” or manually put it in the URL:

https://kbin.earth/m/[email protected]

If both use the same sort (for example, sort by “hot”) you see the same content. You can even find lemmyshitpost on Mastodon, though since mastodon uses activitypub differently, I think what you see on mastodon is what the moderator of lemmyshitpost upvoted/boosted? Something like that:

https://mastodon.social/@[email protected]

Now, what about [email protected]? You can see it on mastodon, though it’s empty (for the same reason I said above) but for some reason I can’t see [email protected] on kbin. I don’t know why. Maybe it’s a federated thing.

What about bluesky? It looks like bluesky uses something called “AT Protocol,” not ActivityPub, but apparently there’s a bridge.

I hate you. TAKE MY UPVOTE. You SUDO’D ME TO UPVOTE YOU!

Props to them. That sounds like a woman dying in a very unsexy way.

Lemmy and other federated platforms use activitypub. You can see posts kbin, mastodon, etc. on each others platforms.

If bluesky uses activity pub then yeah, they could be viewing this on bluesky.

You mean “heterosexual color arches?”

This is the correct answer

I’ve decided go big or go home.

I saw an OLED in person at my local big-box retailer, the LG 39GS95QE. A 39in ultrawide. The pixel density is pretty close to that of my existing LED monitors. I never was a fan of the curve until I saw it on an ultrawide; it only seems to make sense to me on an ultrawide.

They have it in 45in but that would be too big for my space, too big for my arm mount, and would reduce the PPI to something around 85? All those drawbacks don’t seem to be worth it for me as I do use my monitor for productivity more than gaming.

So that’s where I’m leaning now.

IT’S AN LCD.

NOWHERE in the product description did it say it was an LCD. If you go to their product website and search “LCD” you get nothing. (If you search LED you also get nothing). They intentionally hid that information: https://www.samsung.com/us/computing/monitors/gaming/32-odyssey-g50d-qhd-fast-ips-180hz-1ms-displayhdr-400-gaming-monitor-ls32dg502enxza/

Even on amazon if you search “LED” you get a question and answer: *Q: How is this compared to led ? between love the ad very impressive from samsung A: Hello and thansk for the question Yes this monitor uses LED’s If you have further questions, please feel free to contact us at 1-800-SAMSUNG or via live chat on our website (www.samsung.com/ca/support).

The reason that it looks weird next to my LED monitors is because it’s an LCD.

And I’m just out of the return window. I’m so upset.

EDIT: Return window was extended because it was bought in December and the holidays are a thing. It’s GOING BACK!

THIS IS A GREAT RESOURCE!

Thank you so much! Now I can measure and see exactly what I’m looking for! I can watch the little videos and see what I’m looking for in them. (This also makes it seem like saying you have a viewing angle of 178 is a complete lie)

The ASUS monitor has a 32in variant but unfortunately it’s not on Rtings. It’s apparently a VA panel and not an IPS, so not sure how it would look next to the others.

I’ll see if I can find a monitor that checks all my boxes that I can cross-reference with Rtings. I’ll also be testing out amazon’s return policy on opened monitors. Glad I kept the box intact.
