Accidental Tech Podcast534: On the Cheerleader Bus

Final Cut Pro and Logic Pro for iPad, and the promise of Bluesky in a crowded space.
Tim Cavell@atpfm @marcoarment heads up in case this isn’t just me. This is the iPad app, downloaded fine in the iPhone app.
CG@atpfm the thing that irritates me about the display limitations on the M1 is that I like a lot of displays but don’t need 4K or anything. I’m content with my 1080p. With my windows pc, I use 4 1080p monitors. I’d love to use a kvm (or combination of kvms) to also use my m1. 4 1080 displays is the same number of pixels as a single 4K. So if this thing can drive 6k, why can’t it handle 4x1080? There’s not even a way to attach that many monitors to the Mac mini without eating up all of the ports. As a lifelong Mac user, I/O has been a massive irritation of mine. Only solvable with expensive thunderbolt docks.

Yesh@atpfm all(?) of the Dell docks that I’ve had at work support multiple monitors with standard M1 - all I had to do was install the DisplayLink software.
Marcos Huerta@atpfm The original M1 Mac Mini can drive multiple monitors even with 8GB of RAM,1 but one has to go through the unique-to-mac-mini HDMI port. You can’t do two via USB-C / TB4. 🤷🏽♂️
peter sibley@atpfm @caseyliss @siracusa what was the indie ios puzzle game you guys recommended in the live stream ?

Casey Liss@petersibley in the show notes. Blackbox.
Mariano@atpfm @marcoarment dedrm still works if you download your Kindle books for USB transfer from the Amazon site.
@atpfm I’m really surprised to hear your Kobo Sage had micro USB. I purchased one about the same time as yours and it has USB-C.
Marco Arment@TheCodeLorax No, my Kindle Oasis had micro-USB. Sage was USB-C.
David Lynch@atpfm re: Bluesky, the comparison that keeps coming to mind to me is Clubhouse. Remember when Clubhouse was the big hit where all the celebrities were hanging out? But then it vanished like a flash in a pan when the exclusivity ended. So I’m withholding judgement about Bluesky’s ongoing success until it’s not just the exclusive crowd…
Jari Pennanen@atpfm @siracusa @marcoarment Bluesky is pull-based like RSS (PDS in Bluesky). It has the same problems as podcast apps that need to cache all RSS feeds.
BGS then pulls data from all PDSs constantly. The BGS generates the fire-hose which then creates the feed.
Whereas Mastodon is push-based, if you post something it's pushed to your followers.
Bluesky doesn't have the same consistency issue because it's pull-based, running BGS is a big task, similar to pulling all RSS files in podcast app
@atpfm @siracusa @marcoarment Also what Bluesky does isn't that novel, someone compared it to Matrix: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=35886140 apparently they've been in contact and both have similar repository system as storage.
Christian Lynbech@atpfm It is important to remember that the fediverse is bigger than Mastodon. ActivityPub is like HTTP and Mastodon is like a webserver on the WWW.
