Criminally underrated performance in a critically underrated film.

It's fine. Even if you're on Nvidia graphics, as long as you're past the 570 branch of propietary driver (I believe...or is it 575?) there's enough working that you can use Wayland as a daily driver, even for gaming.

The only thing that I use it for that I haven't been able to test yet is DaVinci Resolve, and that's largely because installing DaVinci resolve has become a hassle in itself on Linux.

Installing a couple of packages to be able to go back to an X11 session if I feel like it is not that big a deal.

Only on my good days. On my bad days I'm actually quite the asshole, to be honest.

kinda just juvenile and the dialog pretentious

You literally just described Kevin Smith...

Oh and “A tale they won’t believe” by captain tractor for man turning to cannibalism to survive

Holy shit. Never expected to find another person who has heard of Captain Tractor on Lemmy of all places. They have a long history with me and my college years (late nineties, early 2000s)

100%. I always thought I was alone in thinking it.

Arguably more famous as the host of the Crystal Maze than as a voice in Phineas and Ferb. But okay.

He was also Mr. Hand in Dark City.

It's almost as though actors play multiple roles in their lifetime.

I feel bad for the guy, and I in no means mean to make light of his situation.

But am I the only one who sees a dollar-store Tom Hiddleston?

There is a difference between "intelligent" and "smart" is the way I like to describe myself.

I'm college educated. But I'm also the guy that took twelve years to realize that his stove had a cook-timer on it...

They don't give honour guard burials to people who have been executed for treason.

First few times I didn't put two and two together because I'm kind of an idiot. I started believing that something was wrong with my laptop battery when it would give me a critical battery shutdown notice while still above 80 percent.

Finally it dawned on me that it wasn't my laptop reaching critical battery, it was my wireless mouse triggering the shutdown notice.

I'm going to go ahead and presume that that's not supposed to be happening, but does anyone know what settings I would go into the change that?

I looked to see if there was options for different devices in the main battery UI, but couldn't find any.

 

Since Wrestlemania there's been nothing but stories about John Cena winning an amazing 17th title, blah blah blah... It's a "History making moment", yadda yadda yadda...

Like...of course he did. It's the storyline. It's quite literally "in the script".

This isn't an achievement. Why is this in my sports news next to last night's hockey scores instead of next to an article about who was the bitchiest on the lastest episode of Real Housewives?

I get it. I loved Wrestling growing up. Back when we all WERE pretending it was real; Macho Man, Hulk Hogan, The Undertaker, etc... But I thought at some point they steered into the whole "entertainment" aspect when most of us grew the hell up and clued into the absurdity of it all.

 

It sure would explain the similarity between the ever more potential state of America and her novel The Handmaid's Tale.

 

Haven't looked too deeply into this before now because it's not a high high priority; more like a "would be nice." But has anyone found a touchscreen keyboard (like Maliit) that works on Wayland with non-kde apps. Maliit works with the kapps, but not anything else.

Switching to X11 to use a keyboard that does sort of work, and I lose the auto-rotation...

So it seems that we can't have both worlds unless someone knows more than I do (which I admit isn't hard to do)

 

Any idea why post video thumbnails are showing in three distorted diagonal bars?

Once you open the video full screen it plays normally.

 
 

For example, why do we say "Your pupils are dilated". They aren't. It's the iris aperture that is dilated.

 

Seriously...shout-out to Krystian Zajdel. I was literally blown away when I rebooted my computer and saw that it had become the login splash screen. I immediately had to make it my main wallpaper too.

Most beautiful default wallpaper I've seen in a while.

 

My work uses a whole lot of group texts. I don't know why they don't use something like Signal or whatever...it is what it is.

But every Google Message alternative I've tried sends my replies to every member of the group individually rather than replying IN the group chat itself. Is that an issue with the app itself, or in the settings, or something else entirely.

I want to move away from anything that is linked in any way to stupid Gemini. But this is the last thing keeping me using Google's built-in Messages app.

 

There are many reasons to hate the Cybertruck. Looks, shoddy workmanship, flat out performance lies, Man-child business owner, etc...

But my biggest gripe, and this is the unpopular bit, is that in my opinion, it's not actually a truck at all.

The Cybertruck is a uni-body construction, often called a "car chassis". It shares that with the Honda Ridgeline, Hyundai Santa Cruz, and a few others. Trucks that are meant to do actual work use a body-on-frame construction because it has more ability to flex and twist when you put a heavy load in the bed or towing something heavy.

To put it simply, if you put a heavy enough load in the back of a uni-body truck, you're going to lose some traction on the front wheels as the weight will tilt the entire body backwards, whereas real trucks made for work are developed with the bed mounted separately to avoid that issue.

I know that yes, Santa Cruz, Cybertruck, Ridgeline, etc... are still technically classified as a truck. But in my (unpopular) opinion, anything uni-body shouldn't be classified as one.
