How might I go about either rotating one mirrored display but not the other, or setting up a second display such that the mouse does not move over the edge and must be switched with a hotkey or such?

I know this seems like two unrelated questions, so let me explain why I would like to do one of these two things: I recently got a drawing pen tablet with a display, which works fine, except that I am left handed, and my wrist keeps hitting the side buttons. The driver allows me to flip the pen inputs, but not the actual...

Most games have the ability to capture the mouse to prevent the moving across screens issue you’re having

For the mirroring flipped monitor I would think the easiest way is to get a desk mount with Vesa and rotating to rotate your main monitor 180 degrees while you’re drawing

I don’t know of a software solution for this unfortunately.

And this is how I learned the NBA logo contained an actual person…

There are so many!

This is a huge list, overwhelming for sure.

Those two don’t have to exclude each other! Think of the profits!!

I know you don’t mean super monkey ball 3, but, there is the smallest chance you do. :)

I’m not sure if it ever changed but usernames used to be numbers.

Mine started with a 3 and was 8 digits long

I just had to pay $17 to buy 2 tickets to a show at a random small venue for my kid.

These service fees are out of control.

astanix ,

To instead of too

astanix ,

Kagi if your willing to pay

DDG if not

I just use Google and block everything.

Something simple like if we just ignored Gravity we could move faster than light.

Or time maybe?

I was just in Mexico city this past week

When I was waiting for my flight to come home I tried to find cold water. None of the coolers at any of the stores in terminal B were keeping the water cool at all

All of the chocolate in the 7-11 was melted. It was surreal.

No AC in the airport and it was so hot. This was at 8-11pm when you think it sound stay cooling down.

The rest of the trip was fine, it felt pretty hot but not any hotter then summer usually feels further north. Then again, it’s not summer yet…

Did the premise of an entity approaching you only when it's not being viewed originate with Doctor Who's Weeping Angels?

The Weeping Angels apparently originated with Steven Moffat seeing a statue of a weeping angel in a structure in a cemetery and returning later to find out it was gone. At least according to this RadioTimes article. They first appeared in 2007 in the episode Blink....

Boo from Super Mario only moves when your back is turned

It originated in Super Mario Bros 3 in 1988.

Civil forfeiture is such a scam. Just corrupt cops stealing stuff.

astanix ,

They shouldn’t have to demand the release of it. Bodycam footage should just be publicly available all the time.

astanix ,

It’s what the body craves.

astanix ,

It’s due to the milling to square it.

You can get rough cut 2x4 or 2x2 or anything that are actually that size but by the time you trim and square it you will end up at the measurements sold in big box stores

Edit: I mean the size they used to be in store, not OPs version :(

astanix ,

It’s absolutely insane to me that he is still in any sort of power after that happened.

I’ve not used magic eraser but I just now installed Samsungs version and used it. It was pretty fast but also very smeary as well.

Does anyone know what happened to the developer DreamSky? All of their apps on the Google Play Store are completely missing and they don't seem to be responding to support emails.

About a week ago, I tried to download one of their games but for some reason, every single game/app they ever released is completely missing from the Google Play Store. I can’t even download them through my library. I tried sending them an email but they never responded. Both their social media and their website seem to be...

astanix ,

As someone that lost a developer account due to not uploading anything for a year I can confirm the app I uploaded a couple years ago is no longer in my history.

Google closes your account for not updating or uploading apps.

astanix ,

I don’t even watch trailers.

The name, poster and 1 line blurb is what will get me to watch or not watch a movie anymore

astanix ,

That is truly amazing.

astanix ,

What are the chances that the ones marking as malicious are owned by media conglomerates that are losing money because of the service 12ft supplies?

astanix ,

Perhaps they were saying they started on unity and decided to migrate to Godot instead

astanix ,

Well, if the swamp you’re referring to is poor people… that’s exactly what’s happening.

astanix ,

I went to best buy to buy a phone for my kid recently. They didn’t carry a phone case for the phone they sold me. They had phone cases for every iPhone you could imagine, ones they didn’t even sell. Cases for lots of phones they didn’t sell.

Crazy to me that they don’t at least stock a couple cases for the phones they sell in store.

How Do You Deal With Thumb Stick Drift? (lemmy.world)

So I like to use Xbox controllers (doesn’t matter if it’s first- or third-party) because I like the layout, it’s just comfortable to me. However I’ve noticed that on all my controllers in the past few years, the left thumb stick will start to “give out” over the course of a couple months. For instance I’ll be...

astanix ,

I deal with it by warranty replacement if the controller is still within warranty or buying a new one. I just have accepted the fact that controllers are replaceable items in my life.

astanix ,

This feels like a sign I would see at a bargain store near me called Ollie’s… was this at Ollie’s?

astanix ,

Except for the ticks… they were bad last year and I expect them to be worse this year… ugh

astanix ,

I hate that there is such a rigid structure required for directories and such. Can’t my drive of audiobooks just be scattered trash like everything else in my data life? Lol

astanix ,

I mean usenet servers are running with insane retention… omicron hosts have 5648 day retention, other backbones are over 4500

Unless it gets taken down, it doesn’t go away anymore… providers just keep retaining. I suppose that will end eventually… maybe some day the cost of storage will prohibit archiving 15 year old binary usenet posts.

astanix ,

I learned, from the comments, you can just long press home key and press search screen.

I didn’t know about that feature.

astanix ,

I noticed this yesterday when I tried to load a cached version of a site. How disappointing.

What online multiplayer games play well over wifi/higher latency?

I'm thinking turn-based games may work okay in this respect, but which of those might you recommend besides Civ? Also what other types of games work better over wifi/higher latency than you might expect?

I know ideally you'd simply wire up your system to not have to fuss with either, but it's not always an option in some circumstances.

@games

astanix ,

You can play a ton of turn based board games on boardgamearena.com

You can play real time or turn based. It works on any browser, even mobile.

The best part is it was just copied from another site, at least it was cited. I sent to the site and it said the article is based on an article from another source.

Here’s the true source: www.nature.com/articles/s41586-023-06633-0.pdf

Microsoft has been betting on content delivery for a while now. They don’t care how you play their games, they just want you playing them.

astanix ,

So you could get 2 streaming services which would make you miss out on the content available on the other 200+ other streaming services out there.

With Usenet you can get content from all of them.

Eweka is cheaper www.eweka.nl/en/landing/unlimited-usenet-special€ 5,99/mo for a year

And here’s a deal for easynews. signup.easynews.com/…/unlimited-special-deal/$6 a month for a year

astanix ,

I use eweka and thundernews as backup. I rarely need thundernews. It only tries that one of eweka is missing what I’m looking for.

Usenet. 1522 hits for Tim and Jerry when I just searched.

Do I need to play the first 2023 Call of Duties or can I just jump right in? 🤔

astanix ,

This is such a great reply filled with disappointment. I did play MW2 quite a bit. DMZ was fun. My wife and I played MP a lot too. I bought her the battle pass one time and she was able to get it again multiple times just from the coins obtained from completing it.

Thank you for such a well thought out reply!

astanix ,

Nah, you aren’t supposed to have sex before marriage.

They get around this by putting a penis in a vagina but not moving at all. Someone else jumps on the bed to cause the movement.

astanix ,

I don’t even know if this is something that actually happens or just internet rumors…

astanix ,

Country fried steak, has browns, eggs, toast. At a restaurant in a gas station. I think it was one of the truck stops at the 76/71 interchange in Ohio.

It will never be as good as that one time 15-20 years ago so I never go back.

astanix ,

Tried checking usenet and there are a few episodes from each of those seasons but not the whole things. Pretty crazy when you can find a relatively recent show like that isn’t accessible.

I love parking wars!

What Are Your Favorite Hidden Gem Android Apps?

I’m sure there are countless apps out there that are incredibly cool, interesting, or useful, but just haven’t hit the mainstream yet. Maybe it’s a productivity tool that’s boosted your efficiency, a unique game that’s kept you entertained for hours, or a niche app that’s catered perfectly to one of your hobbies or...

Frequaw looks great! I’m going to give it a try.

Oh how I envy that you get to enjoy halt and catch fire for the first time :)
