Eskating cyclist, gamer and enjoyer of anime. Probably an artist. Also I code sometimes, pretty much just to mod titanfall 2 tho.

Introverted, yet I enjoy discussion to a fault.

  • Mihon has a setting to flash the display when changing pages to reduce ghosting on e-ink displays.

    Which you shouldn’t use. E-ink refreshes are far more complex than simply flashing the screen a solid color, involving multiple steps to massage the e-ink in the panel into a sharp image. These are calculated and done by the e-ink display driver on any decent device, whenever the image on screen changes enough.

    Mihon also does the flash out of sync with the actual display refresh (if it’s set to occur on tap), CAUSING ghosting, instead of reducing it.

    If you can configure your e-ink device to do a full display refresh on tap, simply do that.

    In Mihon, just disable animations, and let the e-ink display driver handle display refreshes.









  • I’m not sure on the answer myself, but you did get one thing wrong.

    Even the oldest, sickest pet will still make an effort to keep themselves alive however they can: eating, drinking water, moving out of the way of danger, etc.

    No, they won’t.

    Plenty of illnesses cause apathy, dehydration, or loss of appetite.

    Causes vary from pain so intense moving is unbearable, or nausea so severe food is inedible. It can be mental, physical, easily treated, or incurable and eventually lethal.

    Either way, pets can and absolutely do choose inaction when miserable enough.





  • What do you mean?

    Any post, on any service, is technically accessible on any other instance, running any service. Actual implementation, varies.

    Unless you run into it in the feed, the way to find a given post is to enter the original instance url for it into search on the instance from which you want to interact with it.

    To upvote this post, for example, even from an instance that it hasn’t federated to, I can enter the url to this post on its host instance into search, and the other instance will fetch the post, allowing me to vote and/or comment.

    Same goes for mastodon toots. Get the url, put into search, upvote, comment, whatever.


  • In my very first reply to you:

    If there isn’t an overabundance of food (as you yourself admit, housing is insufficient).

    This whole time I’ve been trying to tell you, “no, that is actually a problem” because you started off by minimizing the contribution of corporate interests to the housing problem. I guess I should have made the the implied “as well” more obvious, but it was always there.

    You didn’t start off with “we need more housing”. You started off with “it’s not the companies and they are good actually”.

    So no, I wasn’t gonna reply with “yes, and”. I didn’t have the option because what you started with needed actual refuting, first.
