This is a valid preference I'm and tired of pretending it's not. Vagina, penis, doesn't matter. I am attracted to feminine features and a penis doesn't get in the way of that.

Me too. Gimp is awesome. I can do everything I want and more really easily. I just don't get the hate. Photoshop is cancer, it's slower than Gimp and it's not even worth pirating. It hurts Adobe more if you use open source alternatives.

Imagine hosting an event so lame that it makes international news solely because of how incredibly lame it was. Just damn.

You can pirate media that uses that new blu ray drm by plugging a capture card into the overpriced compatible DVD player and recording the video. Also, it's a way to transfer saved content from a dvr as their hard drives are always encrypted (do those still exist). The video stream on all this stuff is encrypted with hdcp to prevent this but there exist hdcp strippers. It seems to still be possible to buy them even on Amazon. Stock up before they get banned. Frankly I'm surprised they aren't banned already.

Would you pet a cat for $800? (self.lemmyshitpost)
 

$800 to pet a cat. The cat likes being petted and his name is Jim.

This place became as toxic as reddit real quick didn't it

I hope they actually end up calling it the Very Big Disc (tm)

The only disadvantage of display port that I can think of is that it's harder to find capture devices (or at least Linux compatible ones) that have display port. Generally no one cares about that stuff though. I use capture cards because I sometimes do stuff involving other computers and it's 1000 times more convenient to have a vlc window floating around with the display output.

No one seems to have this use case besides me, I'm just glad that there exist capture cards fast enough to do playback in real-time and not a 5 second delay. I don't stream.

I don't really subscribe to the whole if civilization collaspes there will be no technology in anyone's lifetime again thing. You aren't going to go back to ordering shit off amazon from your smartphone or anything. However the knowledge that things like refrigeration, radio transmission, internal combustion engines, water treatment and such are possible is going to drive people to eventually find out how to get it by any means necessary.

How quickly this happens is a question of whether the majority of people adopt a "technology is too dangerous/a sin against God" idealogy or not.

The soil where I live is only good enough for 5.25in floppy plants to grow.

 

Damn now I have to boycott an entire video connector.

Help me choose a keyboard (self.ergomechkeyboards)
submitted 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago) by PeterPoopshit to c/ergomechkeyboards
 

I am in the market for a new keyboard. I really want something that is backlit, has a volume control and has the full layout with numpad. If I can't find something with those 3 features I'll just keep fighting with my shitty half working one because it's not that bad and there not being a better option will just motivate me into finding some new way to fix it probably. I kind of don't care if it's membrane or not, as long as it's not expensive. In my experience membrane keyboards last longer anyway.

There's a few cheapo options on Amazon that look promising but beyond that they only come with 2 out of 3 of the features I need. That's why I came here for advice.

I have a g910 thats old and starting to get all kinds of key bounce issues. I've replaced most of the switches and it's still doing it so it's either a circuit board issue or a chip issue.

Also, it's fucking bullshit that there's not a backlit mod for the ibm model m.

Haha penis (lemmy.world)
 
 

I like women. I like the shape and curves of the female body. I like boobs, I like asses, I like pretty vaginas. I also appreciate and am aroused by a nice cock. I'm however not otherwise attracted to the male body. I like femboys as long as they have a feminine-like shape and curves, as many of them do.

WTF is my sexual orientation?

I have been in and out of college several times and I've failed physics twice already. My entire life has been on hold for the past 10 years because I have most of a degree except for physics. So here I fucking am, taking physics as an older and more mature adult. Surely I'll be able to make it work just this once. But no. The lab professor is the biggest hardass I've ever seen and I'm not even completing the non-lab homework at a sustainable rate because they're being hardcore about that too. At a community college this time of all places.

If I had a time machine I would go back in time and tell myself to never go to college ever under any circumstances. Even going to las vegas and gambling all my money away would have been a better choice. Even throwing fistfuls of $100 bills out of an airplane would have been a smarter financial decision. Even working at Walmart where those 15 cent raises eventually add up over the course of 10 years would have been a more lucrative career path.

Tl;dr fuck society

 

Drank 3 beers and 1 shot of whiskey last night like a law abiding citizen instead of smoking weed. Holy fucking shit hangovers are worse than I remember. Fuck everyone fighting to keep weed illegal. They're all subhuman trash.

 

I'm helping a family member build a pc. He wanted to use Windows because "Linux can't play games" despite me having a perfectly good gaming laptop running Linux that runs all my games, even graphically intensive ones.

2 days later, no game has been played yet. We can't even get steam to start. I even installed Arch on a sata ssd I donated just to verify the pc parts actually work (took less than an hour). It took 1 and a half days to even get the Windows 11 installer to get past like the 3rd screen.

Fucking fuck. Dealing with all this fucking bullshit is far worse than not being able to play a few trashy anticheat pay 2 win games. The anti Linux circlejerk is real.

 

I download Linux isos and there are sometimes not a lot of seeds and a lot of peers. I rarely see any upload rates. How can I be one of the 6 people to have downloaded a torrent and none of the 220 peers are receiving data from me? What should I be checking to make sure seeding is working properly? Even if I leave it there for hours I come back to 0 bytes uploaded.

 

I have this Debian server that won't stop crashing. It crashes once every 2 or 3 days. Everything's up to date, the cpu is good and prime 95 never finds any problems. The ram is good and I've run every ram test there is and never found anything wrong. I just can't get it to stop crashing and it's driving me insane.

I used to have an arduino connected to the motherboard's reset jumper and then set up a bash script as a systemctl service that sent a signal to the arduino every 10 seconds and if the arduino didn't receive a signal after 30 seconds it forces a reboot. This doesn't even automate the process of restarting after a crash because too often, the server will crash just lightly enough that everything except that autorestart bash script service stops working so it won't reboot. It does double amount the time the server works without manual intervention though which is better than nothing but not good enough.

Other than just randomly installing different distros until I find one that doesn't do this (reinstalling an os and then setting all the server stuff back up is very time consuming), what can I do to troubleshoot/solve/stop or otherwise do anything about these crashes?
