I leaned way in for the 2016 and 2020 elections. I literally ran for city council (and lost) in 2020 to be part of the efforts to push things in big and small ways in the right direction. It was exhausting. People were awful and it was overall a terrible experience.

Meanwhile, for years, my wife and I were in the long and frequently disappointing process of adopting children from our local foster care system; we decided that adopting kids who needed families was better than bringing any more children into this hellscape.

3 weeks after I lost the miserable race for city council to a lawyer who had lost (sorry, settled) a sexual harassment lawsuit from his secretary only a couple years earlier, we took in our now-adopted kids. In the last 4 years we’ve had non-stop challenges, especially with my daughter, with behaviors - she was recently diagnosed with RAD. And we’ve chosen to pull back on basically anything that isn’t either helping us get some sense of stability, is at least enjoyable, or unavoidable.

I agree that everyone who can should be doing anything they can above and beyond voting. But I feel like all I can muster with activism right now is voting, and caring for my kids the best I can.

Time extension sucks ass. It’s a usability nightmare. Wish I could block all links to it in my feed.

I think the prominence of tip options is largely driven by the POS/payments platforms. Square, for example, wants you to tip because they get $.10 + 2.6% of the transaction. They would get this from the total transaction, so if you tip $2 they’ll get almost $.3 of that tip as part of the total transaction fee. They make it easy to enable for the vendor, but inconvenient to skip in the UI if enabled because you have to push a button to get to the receipt button. Plus why would the employee skip it? It might make them a little extra cash. The power of defaults is strong.

They might be able to do what Taki did and source the components they’re looking for directly from the manufacturer rather than using existing boards.

I do think this is a big stretch, but things in this market are starting to change.

I doubt this, but the Mars FPGA project supposedly will have a Dreamcast core and it’s being supported by respectable people in the community. The mister cores for everything else could be ported, though without the support of the original developers that might be a bit sketch.

I still doubt it, but I don’t think it’s impossible

Except the comic doesn’t show them discussing or showing a naked body, it’s a weirdo pointing out the genitals to another person in a very public place. If it was toes, it’d be fine. If it was just a naked body it’d be whatever, mostly. But they’re specifically pointing out genitals, that implies sexual focus. It’s only “cute” and “funny” for the old women here because eventually it’ll be an organ used for sex…

I don’t want to type a LOT, just enough to make a quick search or rename a file occasionally. Setting up with a keyboard and then relying on the touch screen after would be fine.

I’ve considered it, I just don’t want to have to turn on or pull up/out another computer to remote into it if it would be easier to walk up to the screen in the corner to just download something real quick.

Hey all!

I currently utilize Debian and used KDE Plasma on my old computer as a Plex server, RetroNAS, and also run protonVPN when i need to use it for downloading files for Plex to server on my network devices. The only problem is, I have to leave a keyboard and mouse plugged in for when i need to use it, but don’t have much space in the corner it stays in.

I happen to work for a touch screen company and have a glut of touch screens laying around my home office and I’ve got a VESA mount in the corner this PC lives in, and one of my spare touch monitors can go there. Unfortunately I’ve had trouble with touch friendliness with Linux distros. I’d love to find one that can support my usage needs with just the touch screen. So an on screen keyboard, and support for scrolling web pages (Wayland?) and other scrollable areas would be stellar.

Does anyone have any suggestions on a distro that would be great at this kind of thing? My PC uses an intel chipset with integrated graphics, if that matters.

I made this video review of a new aftermarket VMU for the Dreamcast. Infinite virtual VMUs!

I currently run windows 10 on my main desktop PC, and also have a steam deck that I sometimes use in desktop mode instead of my desktop. With the way Windows is going, and the way Linux Gaming is dramatically improving, I might consider ditching Windows, at least for the most part, on my next PC build. What would be the best distro to use for gaming, with casual use as well? Any suggestions?

Heard about these on the CRT Podcast by RetroTech and ZezRetro. Seems insane, I’m really curious about them.

Edit: changed link, hopefully it works now?

I love this video and how it reveals how displays work, it’s really enlightening if you’re interested in understand a bit of why CRTs look great for old games!

Love this little guy! Clear picture, very little CRT whine, super adjustable, and excellent scanlines. Just an adorable and beautiful little PVM.

My wife got me this silly little plastics phone holder thing because it looks like an old CRT and she thinks it’s silly that I love them so much.

I figured folks who are exploring both Kbin and Lemmy might enjoy subbing to both to get a mix of fediverse CRT love!

Gotta love a nice macro shot of some scanlines.

This 32” beast of a trinitron has been RGB modded and accepts composite, S-video, and of course RGB. Geometry isn’t perfect, but it’s close enough to sit back and enjoy!
