I started out with technology in the early 90’s and never stopped. Now starting to get back to my roots.
In the meantime I have owned an IT business, served in the military, wrote a book and a bunch of other stuff.

swade2569@lemmy.worldto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Would changing useragent to chrome cause me problems?English2·2 years agoI’m studying for my Network+ (should have had it a long time ago), and watching a #youtube live stream with a study group. Very laggy and buffering events, even when turning my resolution down to 360p.
I suspected I was being throttled because I was using #Firefox and uBlock.
I opened up #Chrome (no #adblock is added), and watched the same stream. No glitches at all.
Not surprised but quite annoying of course.
I’m going to try a useragent addon and see if it helps.
swade2569@lemmy.worldto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•How would you feel if Beehaw left the Fediverse?English5·2 years agoI find that one of the drawbacks to this federated landscape is knowing when to make a new account and where. There. Are. So. Many. Options.
If Lemmy and AP are so limiting why not be part of its development and growth? Development doesn’t seem to happen fast on these platforms, and for good reason. “Move fast and break stuff” is a terrible mantra in my opinion, and I’m glad for things moving more slowly.
In either case I have enjoyed the discussions over there and it would be a shame to see it defederate. Best of luck to you and the team either way.

GenX - here’s a few:
Lawn darts. Unsupervised play over 1/4 mile from home at age 8. Unsupervised play over 1/2 mile from home at age 10 with a BB gun. BB guns as paintball weapons. (no eyes were put out). Riding a bicycle to school on a highway shoulder from grade 7-9. Latchkey kid. Going fishing with a neighbor (retired man) as an adolescent for 2-2 summers. (Ps. We fished and talked.)
