Stupid question, but I’ve been to NYC many times and I’ve always considered Central Park to be one of the only enjoyable parts of the city… am I allowed to enjoy it if it was taken this way?

I've been saying for a long time that IG is cigarettes

This guy is recommending you a book written by Jordan Peterson, OP. I would disregard this comment and the advice linked in it.

Oh fuck. Is Ron Wyden actually shitty?

32 percent hot is water freezing tho? Idk… 1/3 hot seems like not the right amount for water freezing.

When I’m running tho, 50 degrees is a medium amount of hot.

X is for Nazis, you're right. I actually deleted Facebook in like 2010 and Twitter in 2019 or something; long before Elon bought it. It was already becoming a drain on my mental health thanks to Trump. honestly, it's crazy i kept using it much after 2015.

“Illegally provide us with information that isn’t ours, change your laws to our preference, and we’ll stop murdering your people” sure is an innocent and not at all fascist statement to make.

I do want to do this in the west coast alliance. Since we pay directly to the federal government as citizens, the states would need to band together and ensure that they would protect us from federal crimes to allow us to withhold our taxes. I’d even be okay with them setting up a sort of “escrow” where we pay our federal taxes to the states in the name of that protection, and then either get a refund once we leave the union, or to be used for cascadia’s new military. After that, our federal taxes can be reduced and/or reallocated to the new state services.

can't believe you'd pirate a pizza box like this. how will Tony ever recover from this?

 

That is all

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.
