Is there support for USB C DP alt mode via Thunderbolt? - Lemmy.World

Does Linux support this? I am trying to connect my laptop to a monitor via USB C. The laptop has two Thunderbolt ports and the monitor has support for USB C DP alt mode. I have tested the same setup on my work laptop (windows 11) and it works fine but my laptop running arch does not work. My laptop detects the monitor correctly so it shows up in the KDE plasma display configuration but the monitor is not getting any input. As far as I could tell this is supported in the kernel. Am I wrong? Am I missing some important package?

Why do podcasts have preroll ads now? - Lemmy.World

I don’t know when this started but I noticed it for the first time a few months ago. Some podcasts will have preroll ads that are obviously tailored to me since they are not in the same language as the podcast, instead they are in my native language and if I connect to a VPN in another country the ad will change to one from that country. They also seem to appear regardless of podcast app. I have used both AntennaPod and Spotify. AntennaPod is free so I guess they source their podcasts from some third party website that could be adding in the ads. But since I am paying for Spotify I am expecting not to have to listen to any ads. So who is adding in these ads? Can I get rid of them or am I just stuck with them?

What is going on with beehaw... again? - Lemmy.world

I heard Beehaw defederated from Lemmy.world among others, but recently I have been seeing content from beehaw communities and users. Did they re-federate? If so, why? And if not, why am seeing updates from their servers again?
