Oh, my bad. On my phone screen it looked very digital. Being a plastic toy didn't occur to me.

Community policy says no AI or digital art, though.

Even though Yates himself called it "the way to lose a lady", I still like Aedh Wishes for the Cloths of Heaven.

Had I the heavens' embroidered cloths,
Enwrought with golden and silver light,
The blue and the dim and the dark cloths
Of night and light and the half light,
I would spread the cloths under your feet:
But I, being poor, have only my dreams;
I have spread my dreams under your feet;
Tread softly because you tread on my dreams.

I occasionally use it to find links to VODs for esports tournaments. Asking it to only link the specific game I want with no other summarization is a way to find them without spoilers (like when youtube "helpfully" suggests the last game of the grand finals of the tournament as a search result).

I can't think of things in English that are very similar. There might be some compound words that happen to be usable both ways (eg overtake, takeover), but I'd call those mostly coincidental.

I think another part of it is being able to see what you're clicking on. You want cursor pixels near the click target because they can show you where you're clicking. But you also want the area around the target to be clear so you can see what you're clicking on. Putting all of the "show me where I'm clicking" pixels on one side leaves as much space free to see what you're clicking on as possible.

That's oversimplifying it. Suppose you have a relative who has $20,000 in unpaid bills, and $5,000 in a savings account. They pass away and leave everything to you in their will. The money in the savings account is used to pay some of the bills, but the remaining $15,000 debt does not pass on to you, or anyone else. If it was the other way around ($5,000 is debt, $20,000 in savings), you'd get $15,000.

Doctors Without Borders and the ACLU.

Ridiculous that they're the ones suing him.

I hope we can get that seat! Having a reasonable WI supreme court has been one of the few bright spots in politics lately. It'd be nice to have another seat's worth of safety on that.

 
 

I'd be interested in hearing recommendations for other music that is similar to the instrumental bit of this song starting at about 2:43

Sound cutoff issues (lemmy.world)
submitted 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) by ProfessorScience@lemmy.world to c/pop_os@lemmy.world
 

Hello! I'm pretty new to pop_os and linux, but am trying to switch over from windows. I've been having some sound issues where it seems like sounds get cut off. It seems to most noticeable with something like doing duolingo from my browser (lots of short sound clips of words and such; if I click on words quickly, then spotify playing in the background will stop playing briefly). I've tried disabling sleep, as described by https://support.system76.com/articles/audio/, without luck. I've also noticed that I see errors listed in pw-top which sometimes correspond to sounds getting cut off. That is, sometimes I notice a cutoff without seeing an increase in the number of errors, but when I notice an increase in the number of errors it usually corresponds to something getting cut off.

Is there a way to see what the errors from pw-top are? Or suggestions for other things I should look into? I've looked at dmesg and systemctl status --user pipewire.service (and pipewire-pulse) but the only error I see is a nvidia-drm thing which seems to be innocuous. I've also uploaded my alsa-info results, if that's useful.
