Has anyone told him that sperm doesn't just sit there collecting from puberty onwards in some sort of "first in/first out" merchandising situation?

Sadly yes. That's the drawback. But its balanced by the fact that its pretty easy to find good custom ROMs after it ends its software lifespan

whether you believe in light outside human perception (since it's also measured as a wave).

Theoretically no.

What is colour blindness if not one persons receptors (rods and cones) translating those waves differently than everyone else? Meaning that what light "looks like" to them is completely different.

literally everything, even matter itself, is just energy vibrating at different levels of the same scale. From sound, to light, to Gamma radiation; everything exists on the same spectrum, merely inhabiting different frequency spans. so in that respect there's an argument to be had that nothing exists until its sensed by an observer.

But that's delving into philosophy.

What's this "sharing" thing you're talking about. I've never heard that word....

If we paint all conservatives with the same brush, we alienate the few (or maybe not as few as we think) to never consider something different.

You're preaching to the choir on that point. In fact I got positively roasted a while back for saying essentially the same thing.

The only thing I would say is that I was referring specifically to voters themselves; those conservative leaning non-voters that may not see themselves in the current republican party.

Incidentally, its a belief that was validated by the addition of Tim Walz to the ticket since that's exactly what his presence is meant to do.

But once those conservatives identify as not just conservatives, but as republicans, there is very little hope in changing their mind unless they're already predisposed to having it changed.

So yes you’re right, however no you’re wrong

Well now you just sound like my ex-wife about literally everything I ever said in our marriage....

Motorola without a doubt. One of the few companies that still believe that a high end phone doesn't need to cost 2000 dollars.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 day ago (4 children)

This feels like the correct answer.

Motorola and a couple others feel like at least they haven't jumped on the "let's charge them whatever the hell we can get away with" train. They're still relatively inexpensive and are essentially just as capable and nice as the Samsungs and the Apples of the world. Hell, I get far more comments on my Motorola Edge 2023 with it's textured faux leather back than others get with the latest Sammy or Apple identical square.

It feels like these smaller producers are able to take a few more risks in design.

Doing anything except eating it directly out of the tub just seems like the worst possible study in delayed gratification. I don't have time for bowls, or cones. When I want my ice cream, I want it now.

a sound wave exists without a listener. But sound isn't a sound wave. Sound is what occurs after the brain processes it in what's called Auditory Transduction.

The high road only works when your opponent as a sense of shame and the capacity to self-reflect, even a little bit.

MAGA has neither. The few republicans that still do, the few who are still the adults in the room, have already pledged for Harris. Any of them who haven't by now are lost causes addicted to Trumps tit milk.

 

I can't even imagine writing long form on a touch keyboard. But with a lot of people eschewing laptops/desktops for their mobile devices, it's really just a matter of time.

Just immediately reminded me of this gem from a while ago.

I finally pulled the trigger on replacing my ChromeOS completely with Manjaro using the Mrchromebox script. Other than some glitching getting the audio to work correctly, everything runs great.

For the first two years I had this chromebook (Asus 433 flip) I thought that it wasn't worth the risk and that running the debian container via Crostini was plenty good enough.

Well it turns out that:

  • A. No...it wasn't much of a risk at all. It was actually really smooth, including disconnecting the battery to disable the hardware write protect. I honestly don't know what I was worried about. and

  • B. I may have thought Crostini was good enough. But man oh man...it's a night and day difference having Linux running natively on this old girl rather than through a container that had to boot up every time I use the first linux app of the day.

Anyway. Just wanted to share. Been using Manjaro on pretty much all of my computers for years, and now I can take the "pretty much" away and just say "all of them."

 

So....I updated my Manjaro to Plasma 6. Any chance that Minimal Menu (or something similar) exists?

I was not happy to find it gone. It's been a part of my system for so long that I honestly just forgot it wasn't default.

Now it doesn't even show up in the widget search and I'm honestly not sure I can live without it, largely because I can choose to centre it in the display on launch rather than having to choose either a) full-screen or b) right above the icon.

I can't even describe how upsetting it was to reboot after the update....

 

...but its robot designs were well ahead of the curve for the time.

 

Just popping in to post about a community to discuss FOSS creative software like GIMP, Inkscape, Scribus, Kdenlive, Blender, etc...

https://lemmy.ca/c/open_creative

I've used them all at one time or another. Since moving to FOSS as much as possible ten years ago, I've learned a LOT about most of the programs, and consider myself a near expert in some (Kdenlive, GIMP) and fairly competent in others (Blender, Scribus).

I feel like having a place where anyone who uses FOSS creative software can both ask questions, share advice, and celebrate each others works, would be a nice addition to the Fediverse.

So feel free to join and post your work, your questions, your news or your tips and tricks.

I'm a one man band as far as modding and maintaining for now, so thanks in advance for your patience while I learn how it all works on the back end.

 

Anyone having a recent segmentation fault with GIMP 2.10.36 when closing a file without saving changes, the issue has been fixed and will be merged into the next point release. 2.10.38.

Putting this out into the community for anyone who needs it.

When I was first learning video editing, I had trouble finding good narrative content to practice with. There was plenty of stock footage, etc... but nothing scripted where you could craft a scene between two characters.

Cinestudy is the best for that. In fact I'm using footage from there for a book that I've been working on about narrative editing in Kdenlive.

https://cinestudy.org/

 

One of the main things that I have been missing in Lemmy since moving over from the other site has been the myriad communities for the various bits of FOSS software I use on a regular basis.

Any any given day, I'll use Kdenlive, LibreOffice, Blender, Gimp and Scribus in the course of getting work done both personally and professionally, and I kept waiting for the day when I wouldn't have to go back to the other site to keep up to date with them.

While some (Blender) eventually got communities in the fediverse of their own, few are very active. So I felt that I should at least try to create my own in the hopes that it draws some activity.

So if you're joining because of a shared love of FOSS creative software, welcome. I'm hoping to post news and other articles from around the web, as well as being a place for questions and advice from user to user.

Maybe it'll be just as dead as all the others. But I hope not.

 

The tl;dr bot that pops up on every link to an article on Lemmy is depriving those websites of clicks, which deprives them of ad revenue.

The only thing that will accomplish is forcing those websites to do the very thing that we rail about; replacing their writers with crappy A.I because they can't afford to pay for actual content.

We rail against the enshitification of the internet, but when there's a legitimate way to fight back by giving these websites a page view/read/click etc... so that they can attract advertisers, we would rather have a bot summarize it for us, giving them nothing.

 

Like the title says. Just upgraded my Android phone, got it set up and working like a charm. Went to connect it to my chromebook in the chromebook settings and it won't let me get past the "sign in with your google account" screen.

Keeps saying "wrong password". But not only have I been already using that account/password not only on the new Android Phone, but on my Chromebook for the last year...but I also LITERALLY copied and pasted it from my bitwarden account after it failed to take the typed password three times.

I'm stumped. Help please. Thanks in advance.
