Funny enough it’s also one of the few places Windows was kicking Linux’s ass on a feature

Finding a passable replacement for the snip tool was probably the biggest issue I had moving to Linux unironically, tookultiple tries of many tools, a lot of config, and it still takes an extra click over Snip

I use it all day at work and then get home and miss it when I wanna clip funny shit in my games, then remember it’s a different keybind with an enter keypress

On my phone ATM but I’m pretty sure that’s what I ended up using as well

It’s 95% there but it’s incredibly annoying to have to hit enter or space to confirm my screenshot area every time when I’m used to it just getting that from release of the mouse button

Dug around the settings and even googled it and it doesn’t seem there’s a way to make it do that, so it’s just shy of snip

Interesting, I tried like 5 tools and Flameshot (my fucking autocorrect also made it flame shit lol) never once came up

Gonna give it a go when I get home

I really do like being back on Linux but it’s this “someone only tells me about the exact software I need once I whine about it 3 weeks later on a different fucking Forum” that gets exhausting, lol

was thinking more power use averaged over time

So much less than you’d think. My GIGANTIC unit (literally a full sized fridge model but on it’s side as a chest freezer) costs something like $25 to run all year. These things are stupidly good at their job because cold air is dense and sinks, unlike a stand-up model that dumps the cold air out every time you open it.

My mini fridge for my soda and bongs costs more to run each year and is literally 1/in the volume

My SYNOLOGY NAS that’s just shy of being used for too much stuff (96% CPU means I’ve got 4% left babyyyy) is, was, and will forever be: Senpai.

That way people (my wife and parents) notice it in the network list.

Knew a guy who sold shrooms to people, he’d give you an invoice for em.

Not for the shrooms, fuck no, it was all for computer repair and building and consulting and yadda yadda. Sold shrooms with fake PC invoices for a few years and eventually managed to snag a job doing something in IT thanks to the 3 years of running a PC home business

Still sells shrooms, too, the lovely bastard. Dunno if he gives invoices anymore though

Honestly, I do want a better smartphone. Not better as in more pixels or processing power, but more features.

My P8P has a temperature sensor on it. Every phone I own moving forward is gonna need that now cuz I use it for all kinds of shit basically daily, great tool for a SMART device.

I miss IR blasters, they weren’t as useful but they had their place

I miss the short time period where volume and lock buttons were on the backs of phones.

More weird sensors and functionality that might prove useful in niche situations, please.

National parks are owned by the Feds, so using them as “my state is beautiful” is cheating. Guarantee it TX was actually responsible for the maintenance of their parks… Well they probably wouldn’t exist to begin with, but sure as shit wouldn’t be what they are today

I’ve yet to figure out how that mode is even helpful in any way and not just an annoyance for other people.

When you leave it on your desk in silent mode it’s a good way to alert you. I miss my red notification LED GDI

Also they leave their Patreon shout-outs in which is not what I’m paying money for

No, but it’s what other people have paid for. Usually at the end of a video past it’s actual content, in what’s considered the “credits”, people who helped pay are tradiditionaly part of that.

If it’s elsewhere in the video that fucks with flow then yeah, that’s bad, but the normal process has been in place for longer than either of us has been alive

I believe both Jews and Palestinians deserve to live in their homeland

Yet your only concern has been for Isreal, the ones doing a genocide.

Excuse us if we don’t believe you at all

Pretty angry and defensive take when all I did was point out the behaviour you’ve had in this thread

gamermanh , 1 month ago

Nah, homie, people going “you don’t know me or my beliefs” are clearly upset at being called out on their behaviour online, thats why I said you’re angry.

Still claiming people you don’t agree with are pro-hamas? Pathetic.

gamermanh , 1 month ago

Telling you your presumptions about me are wrong makes me angry?

No, but that’s not what you did.

I don’t know, man, I think you are mistaken

Interesting, as the only claim I made was that you’ve made exclusively pro-israeli comments in this thread. There’s objective proof of that, so like, no?

but you can’t be told nothing

*Anything. And I can be told whatever you want to say. Will I respect and accept it? Probably not.

And I believe our dialog started because you took my anti-Hamas stance to mean I was pro-genocide

No, it’s when I pointed out that you’d only made pro-israeli comments while being as unfair as possible to the Palestinians.

Funny enough I’ve had more issues with AMD drivers on my Windows machines than I ever have with nVidia on my Linux installs

Literally just changed to a different version by menu with nVidia a week ago when a text bug came up. Only issue on 2 different Linux installs with nVidia over the years.

Compared to ~8 years ago when I had to HUNT DOWN a veeeery specific driver version or my AMD GPU was like “lol idk how to be a GPU” on Win8 (or we’re we using 20 by then I can’t be assed to Google it), and even then it whined constantly and did weird shit

Of course AMD is fine now, wife’s GPU installed no issue and it’s from the same manufacturer, but still funny to me

On Android:

Download song as .MP3

Go to the sounds settings

Choose ringtone

Choose “browse files” or whatever similar title your version uses (on pixels it’s a + symbol)

Find downloaded MP3 file, select

If you want to edit it down first then use either an app or Audacity on your PC

You can also use a file stored to Google Drive if you wanted to

I should also add this works for notification sounds. If you want custom alerts for different apps, or different contacts, or whatever you can also do that with this system.

My wifes texts are a FFXIV Moogle and her calls are music from the same game, for example

gamermanh , 2 months ago

Oh, was this because of limited processing power / slow secondary storage read speeds?

That and we hadn’t settled on standards nearly to the degree we have now. Much like charging cables it was the wild West for some shit out there. Also, many phones actually did support MIDI, but most normal users didn’t know what to do with it lol

Oof that must’ve been so annoying, no? Ur phone being a waking advertisement to everyone around you?

Back then it was status. “Look at me, I have an IPHOOOOONEEEEE”

Knew a guy who wore a trenchcoat, black, and a kilt, standard red tartan, even when it was 110 out.

Was chilling with his younger brother one day bitching about how fucking hot it was when this badass walks up in said attire with his guitar slung over his shoulder, goes “shut up you pussies”, pulls out his guitar, and does a bit of improv chords while singing the last couple of things we’d said, something like “it’s hot as balls out here”

I wish I could be even a 10th as cool as that guy was, because goddamn

The rest of what you had to say was pretty shit, too, but I’ll save my time and stop there.

The real reason the 2A exists and continues as-is: it lets those elites in control rile up the stupid masses (that they keep that way) to literally murder the people trying to fix how fucked up shit has become

You can also just hold the power key and shut the phone down

Not on Android 14 at least, if not 13. They moved it to your slide-down menu, hold power is the assistant these days.

You might be able to change it in settings, but that’s the default.

Reboot has forced PIN/Pass for I think the entirety of Androids existence, but if not then for sure long enough that the phones that didn’t don’t work anymore as phones.

How can this be a bipartisan agreement

Both sides dislike other countries having the spy power. Or anything, really. US got serious overcompensation issues with being the biggest and baddest at everything.

What’s its difference to the “video games cause violence” bit

China likely actually is spying and TikTok probably does actually do some harm, unlike video games and violence. Definetelt nowhere near justification for this shit though.

Dude was talking about the 3/5ths compromise being fixed and you come in here with a “well ackshully slavery is still around” when that’s not what was being discussed. So of course they figured your comment connected by race and pointed out that said connection wasnt good.

They’re not defending anything, they were responding best they could to an unrelated comment in the thread.

Maybe you should look into the details (pro and con) before becoming enraged.

And maybe you should try some basic reading comprehension, ey?

Macbooks are meant to be for creative professionals and those of us deluding ourselves into thinking we might one day be one of those

8G RAM for that purpose is NOT enough in 2024. Shit, it barely was when I went through college in 2016 with a macbook (which is why our models had 16)

3 crows that hang out near my house and join my chickens and ducks when I toss scratch and treats out have made it their mission to keep said birds safe.

Yeah wait hold up I’m in the US where we CALL IT THAT and mine says fuel

Even though it knows I have an EV, which makes it double funny

Edit: funnier - it shows as “gas” in Android Auto but “fuel” on maps when not in AA. Both know I’m an EV and show “charging stations” and not “gas stations”

As a motorcycle rider: not wearing your helmet has significant second-hand effects on those who see your brains smeared across the highway.

You’re also far more likely to take a rock to the face and become a danger to those around you before you crash without a helmet.

In other words: it’s not just a personal choice and absolutely should be legally mandated

it was the same with a lot of vegetables and fruits too

This blew my fucking mind. Went to a BIG ASS Don Quixote (for anyone not familiar with Japan: it’s like a Walmart crossed with the dollar store crossed with a shady store run in a tourist trap where there’s 1.5 ft of walking space between crap) and they had a produce section on par with my California Walmart, but EVERYTHING was wrapped in plastic. Individual apples? Individual small bunches (like 5-7) of grapes? Carrots? individually wrapped plastic bags. A few of the items came in larger packs wrapped together, but none were anywhere near a “family size” you’d see here in the US, and even that often feels like too much plastic being used.

Getting a box of pocky or hello panda also made me feel so goddamn wasteful.

And I know it’s not Japanese but KINDER is doing this shit with their Joy bars and similar now and it’s not ok

Nobody would be that stup…

I get the joke but it’s mostly people without the hand strength or dexterity to peel the fruit that get them.

At least that’s the only people ive ever seen or heard of getting them. Most people who willingly eat fresh fruit also like to peel it themselves for that freshness

gamermanh , 2 months ago (edited 2 months ago)

Me last night after extolling the virtues of the OS to my wife, trying to figure out why upping my refresh rate results in completely fucked text in Linux Mint

So far I’ve gathered that it’s probably a similar issue to what half-rate shading does on the Steam Deck, but the fix or why it’s even doing it in the first place currently eludes me

E: if anyone else has a similar issue and is on an nVidia card: try the most recent driver, not the recommended one. If that doesn’t work, maybe the older one then? If still not god help you cuz the first idea worked for me

Finally saw one of these in person as it drove past me in the oncoming lane.

Was being driven by the most Karen looking Karen youve ever seen, and she did NOT look happy driving it.

I literally burst out laughing from how fucking stupid it looks

Seriously doubt that, honestly, unless you’re VERY rural and/or cannot charge at home

I drive 45 miles each way for commute to work in a 2018 EV that has half the range a modern one does.

I make it home with plenty of charge to still get around town for groceries or what have you, and if I go more than 130-150 miles in a day I can stop at a quick charger for 10/15 minutes and have ~50 miles more range to play with

This is me and my wife + my one fan with my Twitch lol

Managed to actually get some momentum on YouTube a few years ago and then ADHD fucked that so I recently started streaming to have that fun again, andy wife and one loyal fan are the ones there

NBD really, that’s one more fan than most people so I’m a cool kid after all 😎
