LadyAutumn , to nostupidquestions in Is this normal for girls or just a extreme edge case? (Serious question)
@LadyAutumn@lemmy.blahaj.zone avatar

No this is not normal… it’s not sanitary for one and nobody wants yeast infections. It also doesn’t really have a suitable structure for that, and the outside rind… I mean I cannot imagine that feels nice. It’s a meme more than anything like I know people are out there with food fetish and it definitely has been done by someone before but no this is very uncommon lol.

you put a condom on it to solve most of that

If you’re a teenager experimenting and you feel you have to hide it from your parents, getting an actual sex toy can be difficult. Tbh, when I was in that position it didn’t even cross my mind

dan , to selfhosted in FOSS Alternative to Chromecast?
@dan@sffa.community avatar

Chromecast is fraud. Use DLNA

lemmyvore ,

We’d love to but there are almost zero Android apps that suport DLNA. You can use DLNA for your Jellyfin but if you want to cast from the app of any large streaming service it wants Chromecast (or Apple TV, which is another quagmire).

Use Kore on phone and Kodi on TV

lemmyvore ,

Does Kore make the Netflix app stream to Kodi?

Even if it does, I can’t exactly make everybody who comes by install an app to be able to stream to my TV. Everybody (who’s on Wifi) can stream to the Chromecast.

@dan@sffa.community avatar

Netflix is fraud too. Use local files

sj_zero ,

How so? It seems like chromecast does exactly what it says it does, even if it's a suboptimal solution for not being FOSS.

dan ,
@dan@sffa.community avatar

What is does is stupid. You always want to stream the media, not mirror your screen!

sj_zero ,

I wonder if you've ever used a Chromecast based on this criticism.

For a standard Chromecast, you open the app on your phone, then press the cast button, then the device you want to cast to, and the the device begins to stream the media independently of your device. You can shut off the device you used to start casting and it doesn't matter because Chromecast is pulling the data on its own.

On some websites such as YouTube on PC, you also have a cast button and you can press it, select the device and it'll start playing. you can get this button to work on all kinds of sites, and a lot of open source software supports it to a degree such as VLC, Peertube (through a plugin), and Jellyfin.

Using google chrome you can cast your current webpage or your desktop, but that's not the standard use of Chromecast.

It takes some finagling, but you can cast from Jellyfin to a standard Chromecast right from your phone.

The latest version out is Chromecast with Android TV, which is really nice (for now). It's running a version of android and has the play store, so you can set up the Jellyfin android TV app, and stream from your home server without requiring a domain name or https like you do to stream properly on straight Chromecast.

The big issue with Chromecast in my view is that it's a Google product which means 3 things:

  1. it's proprietary, which has many risks coming from that nature and a crappy largely hidden API
  2. it can be shut down any moment if they desire (see google graveyard), and being an always-on device it's possible they just brick it on the way out
  3. it will suck up as much data as they can from you to try to sell you more crap

This is why every frontend needs an option to disable display names. This and the emoji and zalgotext.

QuarterSwede , to patientgamers in I know this is PatientGamers, but can we discuss how even the current generation of consoles seems to ask for patience as they aren't that many games 4 years after their release?
@QuarterSwede@lemmy.world avatar

I think the Switch and the Steamdeck/PC are where the creativity is. Indie devs are making games themselves instead of working for large game development studios. If it’s popular enough they publish on Switch as well since it’s Arm based. Mobile is where it’s at honestly.

fpslem ,

Agreed, I’m fairly impressed how many games Nintendo is still releasing for Switch very late in its lifetime.

MyNameIsRichard , to programmerhumor in Anyone here use assembly?
@MyNameIsRichard@lemmy.ml avatar

Only on the VIC20 and Atari STe. On the VIC20 you had to write the assembler, manually convert it to machine code and enter that into the computer. There was a cartridge with an assembler, debugger and an extra 3.5Kb memory for it but I never got one.

stanka ,

Vic 20 was my first. I watched my dad struggle with and eventually give up on assembly. Something-something and the microbots. I was fearful of it until I took Assembly at Uni. That 2nd/3rd year class was where the final puzzle piece of how computers work fell in place for me.

My first job was writing assembly tests for a DSP hardware design team. Fell in love. Never looked back.

Drathro , to linux in Various distros across different families freezing when doing package manager updates

Try swapping to BFQ io scheduler and see if that makes a difference.

dandroid OP ,

Thank you for the suggestion. I am unfamiliar with this, but I am reading about it now.

Drathro , (edited )

Even with nvme drives which supposedly “don’t need” to use BFQ, I STILL always swap it since it maintains responsiveness across the system during heavy IO loads. I used to have similar full system freezes when downloading steam games which notoriously overload your IO in Linux. BFQ was the solution every single time.

Edit Try following the instructions detailed in this post to add a systemd rule to set the scheduler: stackoverflow.com/…/selecting-a-linux-i-o-schedul…

The second answer that shows an actual rules.d file example has always worked for me. If using nvme or old school spinning rust you’ll need to change it up a bit. Instead of “noop” set it to “BFQ”.

thayer , (edited )

For what it’s worth, I’ve never had to change my io scheduler in the nearly twenty years I’ve used Linux. You can check your current scheduler with the following command: cat /sys/block/sda/queue/scheduler (change the block device to whatever yours is…sda, nvme0n1, etc.).

In my case, it was already bfq: one mq-deadline kyber [bfq]

octopus_ink , (edited ) to til in TIL: The Black Panthers were key supporters of the Disability rights protests which eventually led to the passage of the Americans with Disabilities act

This feeds my response to everyone who tried to pretend “All Lives Matter” or “Police shoot more white people than black people” was anything other than racist, bigoted obstructionism during 2020. There is no proposed police reform that I’m aware of which would only help black people. No matter the impetus, police reform would help everyone.

Same thing here. They didn’t help to effect social change that only helped black people, they helped to effect social change that helped us all.

And they did much more than that.

Sorry for the listicle but it’s a good one with decent detail.

And best of all, they got Republicans and the NRA to support gun control! (pick your jaw up - it was for all the wrong reasons, of course)

Edit: When I share this kind of information, the fact that some people are bothered enough to downvote it makes me even happier that I shared it.

MindTraveller ,

If white racists cared about white lives, then the fact that police shoot white people too should mean double the reason to abolish the police for them. But white racists don’t care about white lives. They only care about black lives; ending them. “All Lives Matter” may be true, but it’s a lie from the people who say it.

Jayb151 , to linux in Buying a new computer to run Linux on - suggestions?

I love my dell 5300 latitude with fedora. Touchscreen, 13 inches, super compact. And a dime a dozen as you can find used enterprise laptops on eBay/Facebook market.

Slap a large nvme in there and you’re good to go for like, under 300. With the leftover cash, you can even get a docking station and monitor if you wanted a dank setup at home.

jpablo68 ,

I’m a thinkpad guy but how are these dells for everyday use with Linux?

jollyrogue ,

Dell Latitudes and Precisions support Linux pretty well.

Jayb151 ,

Ya, like jolly rouge said, they’re pretty good. I have had an occasional issue where the track pad didn’t want to work after waking the PC up. But otherwise it’s been bullet proof. All the hot keys work no problem. I haven’t had any of the weird “can’t wake from suspended state” issues I’ve had with older PCs. I basically leave my laptop plugged in next to my desk and it’s ready at a moments notice. I use Windows for gaming and work btw. But I’ve even installed Valheim on my laptop just to see if it would work and it totally does. No complaints on fedora. I used endeavor on it as well and I want to say even pop is. Just a bit of distro going there, no reason I ditched the other two other than just preferring fedora in the end.
