I feel bad for anyone with no linux experience who bought a steam deck. There’s a good amount of weirdness with the UI sometimes, and modifying desktop mode controls can lead to it ignoring inputs until steam launches on occasion.

I know these issues stem from this being a brand new device with a brand new form factor, using whacky proprietary track pads and shit. But someone who’s only used windows might attribute them to linux and be left with a bad taste.

It’s good that the Ally exists so we can have a windows handheld to compare against.

X automatically changed 'Twitter' to 'X' in domain names, breaking legit URLs (mashable.com)

On Monday, it appears X attempted to encourage users to cease referring to it as Twitter and instead adopt the name X. Some users began noticing that posts viewed via X for iOS were changing any references of "Twitter.com" to "X.com" automatically....

finally a use for the .fail TLD

I think that’s just because wearing them over regular glasses creates a bigass gap. I tried it for a second this time around before thinking better of it.

Roku explores taking over HDMI feeds with ads (www.lowpass.cc)

Roku is exploring ways to show consumers ads on its TVs even when they are not using its streaming platform: The company has been looking into injecting ads into the video feeds of third-party devices connected to its TVs, according to a recent patent filing.  ...

If the gas pumps have those unlabeled buttons around a screen, try pressing all of em. The pumps around here (nebraska) will mute the audio when you press one of the buttons, it just isn’t labeled. I’ve taken to writing “mute” on the magic-button with a sharpie whenever I pump my gas.

yuriy ,

Yep. Just shell stations around here (so far at least)

They’re super loud and in my experience usually political, think local office smear ads and oil lobbyist propaganda.

yuriy ,

Left side, second from the bottom iirc

I reckon you could kill it with a pin in a casual enough way, maybe make it look like you’re just putting a hand there to lean? Also you have like 4 other people come throughout the day and get gas at that same pump, and they do a similar casual hand movement around the speaker.

You’d be safe as houses, probably!

yuriy ,

I’d watch a 12 episode miniseries about that guy.

the clit mouse

yuriy ,

Nop, named so because once you learn how to use it properly, you can finish tasks faster and easier than any other plug-in solution. Plus it’s way less awkward than just rubbing randomly all over the trackpad.

Playing Balatro, it always feels like the ultimate goal is to use multipliers in a way the dev didn’t intend and completely break the score counter.

If that sounds as appealing to you as it does to me, you’re gonna love it.

/c/StarTrek@lemmy.world is under refreshed management

Hey there! You may recognize me as a mod over on !TenForward, a Star Trek-themed meme and shitposty community. We love having our fun and hanging out but we're also not averse to some serious discussions or news as well! While it is always allowed in TenForward, we realize that there might be a better place for it....

yuriy ,

I miss shittydaystrom the most tbh, but risa kinda fits that bill already

yuriy ,

Oh jesus, THAT’S why there’s a million hoops to jump through before they even give you access to LOOK at options trading now. I always just figured someone lost a bunch of money and sued, that’s so grim.

yuriy ,

The email he got from support suggested hosting the mp3 on a third party site like youtube or soundcloud, which is a good idea I reckon. Youtube would work for videos, and I guess imgur or imgbb for images?

Not ideal, but all free!

yuriy ,

Vermin Supreme still stands by his pony plan doesn’t he? You KNOW he’s out here using FiM++

yuriy ,

If I need to accept a TOS to use a vending machine, I don’t need to use that vending machine.

yuriy ,

This is EXACTLY how I ended up in that throuple!

yuriy ,

I have linux on everything except a surface pro 5, which ONLY exists for adobe and autodesk apps. Probably only works because I’m using the versions I’m comfortable with (from 2012) and they’re not too terribly bloated.

It’s not ideal, but fuck if I’m gonna try learning freecad AGAIN.

yuriy ,

I’m 25 and share all these woes, what is old to you?

yuriy ,

if you don’t like this restaurant, just open your own!

yuriy ,

I’ll give you one chump and half a busta, but that’s all you’re getting!

yuriy ,

I don’t want no scrubs

Onlyfans is a great side hustle, don’t hate on sex work. I think being a professional youtuber is a stupid way to make money, but I’m not going to imply that everyone who does it is mentally ill.

yuriy ,

I think it can be rather empowering when you’re the one in charge of your own commodification. Sex work really can be a sticky wicket, people being taken advantage of and whatnot. Onlyfans is probably the easiest way for someone to sell their own image without being directly taken advantage of, and whether it suits your tastes or not I think that’s really positive.

Full disclosure, I’m pretty heavily biased for this site specifically. I helped a past SO run an onlyfans and we split the income, it was really wild being a young couple who could afford things. As a side hustle it’s amazing supplemental income, as long as you’re not the jealous/narcissist type.

yuriy ,

hell yeah man, thank you for the discourse!

yuriy ,

At risk of sounding like a pretentious fuck, I do actually lose a tiny amount of respect for someone when I learn they have an iphone. It’s like baby’s first smartphone, great for elders and children.

yuriy ,

When I found I could speed up every single transition animation and functionally halve the time it took me to do anything, I lost all patience for that walled garden. It’s literally just a single box in dev settings, I can also turn off any flashy bullshit that only serves to waste my battery.

Also when something doesn’t work on android, I actually have some recourse beyond waiting for apple to fix it for me.

yuriy ,

you're assuming there's a right way of owning a phone.

Except I’m literally not. I have a hard opinion about which is better, and sometimes I’m judgey.

Lotta people got a lotta piss in their cornflakes over something that, in my experience, more apple users do anyway. After all, it’s a well known phenomenon to get ghosted over wrong colored message bubbles. I don’t plan to cut contact with anyone over their phone preference, but I will make a couple inferences about their priorities when I see they’ve got the new $1200 iphone that just came out last month.

Doubly so when they also complain about how expensive something is. ¯_(ツ)_/¯

yuriy ,

and i’ll be the last person to argue for SMS. media messages are a fucking MESS, it’s a terrible standard in 2024

yuriy ,

Yich, that reminds me of the ever-expanding role of the start menu in windows.

yuriy ,

Any additional functionality added to an already feature-complete program is bloat, no two ways about it. If notepad+AI was a separate program, this would be a different discussion. Even if you can hide it completely, the fact that it’s there at all will affect performance. And even if it’s just a tiny blip in relative performance, it’s still the first step on the road to enshittification.

yuriy ,

You’re free to believe that this will not bog down the program at all, and also that this isn’t just the first bad decision they’re making with notepad. I really would like to impress upon you that that is wishful thinking, and not at all the most likely outcome here.
