consumer sound cards top out at ~48khz (which is far above the range of human hearing anyway

When talking about digital and analog, the specifics of what the frequency that's being talked about is. The Nyquist rate is the digital sample rate you need to reproduce an analog signal. It is double the maximum analog frequency you are looking to reproduce. So a sample rate 44.1khz (CD sample rate) is the sample rate need to reproduce < 22kHZ signals. So if you wanted to reproduce an analog signal at 144kHZ you would actually need to sample at greater than 288kHZ.

NSFW policy. What is/is not allowed, what should go into one of the dedicated communities instead, etc...

But that's not how time works... You don't ever get more sunlight, timeshifts just shift by an hour when that time is. Your 4pm sunset in the winter will now be 5pm. You're not getting evening sun with a time shift. Similarly without the shift summer sunsets are well past 7pm during the summer. (I might have the winter times backwards.)

The developers of lemmy are very anti-NSFW, it shows up in some ways everywhere. One of those ways is you can't see NSFW on community lists outside of your own instance. You can use outside sites like https://lemmyverse.net/communities to get around this. I think everything might be listed directly in the API request too, but its been a while since I played around to check it out.

Somewhere in Europe. They usually announce when they are going to cons. I just wish he would post somewhere other than the dead bird site and telegram.

I don't know where you are at, but if you have a suit just contact the rigger from the post. They have tied so many over the years and seem pretty open to tying those who contact.

Changing handles is a common feature on websites, and request on those that don't. There are probably good arguments for both from both usability and technical standpoints. FA doesn't support changing names, its been a request for many years at this point. Weasyl allows you to change, and the most recent old name will redirect. I know SF and IB both allow name changes, but I don't remember the details, I think one had a previously known as label that could be shown. You can't allow perpetually holding a name, I can think of many malicious ways to abuse that. Bluesky has the did for perpetual static links, it doesn't change because that is what all the data is really tied to, the handle is just a nicety.

regarding your edit, from the linktree, its still their handle on the site I will not mention, its also their linktree handle. Blueksky works on something called did, so the permalink to this post no matter what the handle is would be https://bsky.app/profile/did:plc:r3b2zyqri7sbgp5ubghm74lv/post/3lm56q5qx3c2y the post id works, so they probably just changed handles to their personal site, its pretty easy to do.

The flow I hear about when people talk about passkeys is sign up with email. Code gets sent to email. Code is entered, passkey gets generated. There always seems to be some similar step that looks like that, and often you have new device or reset that looks the same. Sure the passkey itself is secure, but how do you get it, how do you generate it, how do you validate the first time?

I think they are being pushed because cool technology on paper. Whenever I read an article about them, I can't help but think about the human factors. How are passkeys created, often by a password or email. okay... that looks a lot like a password. Oh you lost the passkey, here lets send you one again. It stinks of a second factor without a first. Sure, the passkey itself is hard to compromise, but how about its creation. If your email is compromised I see no difference from passwords or passkeys.
