Okay, here me out, but the other day I accidentally rebased my nvidia Bazzite system to the testing version of the deck image. It would fuzz out before even the bios splash. So yeah, you can still mess it up lol

Does what it says on the tin, nickname for pit-sniffers.

Yep. Same with saying “a Trans Woman” versus “a Trans”.

RSS is where podcasts all started.

All the people ITT swearing up and down they know heaps about tattooing, that this has to be fake. I’m calling it right now, you’ll see her Jan 6, 2025 trying to break into the Capitol.

why ask for a password.

To give the user an extra second to realise they’re doing dumb shit, and should stop?

I kind of think that’s QTs whole deal right? An abstraction layer that allows for devs to not get stuck in the weeds implementing it all manually.

How can a window manager position things if the program doesn’t communicate with it correctly?

honeypot. it’s clearly a house for a tiny man who will steal your wallet if you pull the alarm…

I wouldn’t be surprise if it were only Germany, due to the whole cultural guilt around WWII…

The assignment was to create a meme, so are you going to upvote it or do you want OP to get an F??

It might have literally just been the direction of “and post it to social media” and you needed to prove that with a screenshot/link?

Cheers for saying so, I absolutely agree! I just often get people thinking I’m arguing instead, it feels like it’s my autism making me seem a bit intense at times when I’m just info-dumping about a topic I like :)

So thankful I didn’t grow up there, I can’t even imagine dealing with that on top of all the other high school angst.

Edit: I should say, you do have to be 18 to serve. But it’s still indoctrinating kids into thinking that’s all they’ll be able to do to survive…

Like, I do get you’re trying to make a joke, but this is actually true in my opinion? Especially enlisted service members. It’s literally a crime for them to not do what they’re told, and what they’re told to do often is murder people. Officers have a lot more control but they’re also required to follow orders. The people ultimately in charge are politicians, and I’d say most of the ones sending armies to war are bad people.

Inb4 someone says “why join up then?”:

1. Conscription exists.
2. It’s often the only choice to lift yourself and family* out of poverty for some people.
3. In the US they literally have army recruiters in high schools. 🤢

I think what I love most about this model is that rather than remove their main videos from YouTube (I know there’s a bunch of bonus content and originals), they keep them on there and pay out creators the same as for any other sponsor spot. It makes the barrier to entry much lower for new creators, but it also means YouTube is basically subsidising their ad-free tier for them. I genuinely believe that decision is one of the reasons they’ve been so successful, compared to some similar video services that are fully gatekept with their content. Dropout being the notable exception.

At the end of the day, I guess it proves the point that piracy is often about reasonable and affordable access. I’m happy to pay Nebula my money because it’s actually going to the creatives involved. Or it’s getting spent on awesome originals, without having to appeal to some braindead media executive (they currently split things 50/50). I don’t have to worry about being a product either, as YouTube still gathers your watch history to sell ads on Google’s other platforms.

They also bothered right at the start to set things up so they can never become a faceless corporation exploiting creatives, because it’s a co-op between all of the creators. They did sell a minority stake at one point to CuriosityStream to raise capital for more originals and engineers for apps, but it required a vote amongst all of the creatives. They’re already profitable too

(Sorry I realise you already know most/all of this, it’s more for others reading these comments.)

It also seems straight up dangerous, for themselves and others, at least on downhill trails. If they’re going down them, well, it’s already dangerous enough for beginners (who always seem to ignore the difficulty ratings) without adding extra speed. But the issue I’ve seen time and again is folks riding those things up the trails that people are actively trying to ride down. They were never designed with two-way traffic in mind, and going up it just chews it up even more.

What do you think this platform is for other than having discussions, which naturally lead to differing opinions. Why are you being a jerk? You said:

> You don’t need a $5000 pro camera to get started, but at leat something better than a simple point and shoot would be preferable to start. Like a decent prosumer DSLR.

I agreed with the first part, a P&S isn’t great. I disagreed with the second point, as a DSLR is already on the high end. There’s a happy medium. You then tried to tell me I was confused? About what? I don’t consider it an entry-level suggestion?

Chill out mate.

I’m not confused, and you didn’t suggest either of those in your comment. My point is that you are the cause of the problem in the OP. People already in the hobby suggesting you need x to do photography, when x is significantly more expensive than y which is a more appropriately priced entry with similar features. DSLR bodies are about twice the price of an MFT body with similar specs. I’ve never used a P&S without manual mode either. Just let people enjoy hobbies, not everyone earns a wage that’s enough to drop a couple of thousand just to have fun.

MFT and APS-C both have full manual modes. But okay, I guess just fulfil the meme? A DSLR is overkill for almost all beginners, and this sort of advice pushes people out of hobbies they might enjoy.
