I’ve played lot of slower paced first person games with them. It also feels really nice in games with inventory screens and other mouse-focused ui. I never really tried to get used to them though, they just kind of clicked with me.

The steam controller was (and still is) fantastic. I once got a comfortable binding for the original System Shock, which already has a pretty untenable control scheme with a keyboard and mouse. Also its haptic feedback can play music.

Girls you’re all pretty

I can’t stand the woke mob catering to people’s allergies. Back in my day we would just suck it up and die.

“It’s simple biology” mfs when the biology is complex.

Of all the things to take from windows, this is one of the better ones. Especially if it gets more info in the future. For less tech-literate users, a screen like this is a lot better than a hard to read dump to a terminal.

I’ve heard that some trans women get “phantom periods” after hrt, like the hormonal cycle still happens even if the parts aren’t there.

It looks like it works in KDE 6, albeit a bit janky. Might be worth seeing if it works now, and if not come back in a year or so. https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/HDR_monitor_support

Hopefully HDR can get crossed off that list soon

You’re right - most media formats have support for metadata, which can include all sorts of things depending on how the image is created. For instance, most phones have an option to add location data to photos.

A lot of identifiable info like location data is usually an option you can turn off. And there are a lot of tools to remove metadata from files. A quick search brought up this, which seems fairly reputable (and open source, which is usually good for sensitive stuff like this).

I can’t tell if this is a joke, real, or misinformation.

I’ve actually moved away from vlc. It’s had some weird issues with videos that MPV doesn’t have. Plus, MPV has a much simpler interface which I like. I’ve also learned how to use ffmpeg to convert media so I don’t need that functionality from vlc anymore.

It’s still a great program though, especially for windows where there’s not many better options.

Idk, I feel like this is kind of reductive. I honestly more feel bad for troops and veterans. Recruitment takes advantage of people without much money or direction in life, promising things like a free college education, employment, and benefits for them and their family. Lots of people who join just don’t have many other options. I opt to blame the system, not the people the system takes advantage of.

Their ai makes up shit and they hail it as a technological innovation, it’s only fair to make shit up about the ai.

Reaper. Great usability and decent Linux support out of the box (looking at you, davinci resolve). Generous free trial and a cheap one-time payment for a license. LMMS has served me well and is fine for basic stuff, but reaper is a whole other level, both in features and usability. I’ve heard good things about ardour too but have yet to give it a try.

Some instances are still clinging to life. I wouldn’t rely on them but use them while you can.

I find personally it’s easier and more relaxed to hang out in person. But that’s with friends, so unless you’re on close terms with everyone that does seem like a big hassle.

I wonder though where you meet up, and what you do. I can totally see myself wanting to do a meetup like that if it’s somewhere fun, like a big city, and there’s some events planned out.

But like, they can still track you. And removing the badge that lets them track you is basically a crime. Also section 31 exists basically just to track and monitor people.

I think the main problem is that high school is way too late to learn a new language. Also at least in my case, the way it was taught was pretty bad. A lot of focus on worksheets and memorization and almost no practical experience - we barely spoke Spanish in the class.

I guess that’s more just an issue with the education system though. Kind of like you said, the other part is just the culture. We’re not raised in a multilingual culture so we don’t expect it or value it.
