You think they can’t redirect their ludicrous police forces (including ICE) to brutalize millions? Don’t underestimate fascism.

The soot.

They’re a terrible gift. I have a zillion candles they I keep around and can’t quite get around to throwing away

I think I’m toast. I can’t tell either way. I mean, now that you’ve said it, I think I can see it, but no way in hell would I have noticed on my own.

I was initially just gonna comment about how it’s unsafe to ride with a dog that isn’t secured with a harness.

Maybe there should be a mechanism for merging communities across instances.

If two communities set out with the same goal in a community and one of them didn’t get very popular, wouldn’t it be nice if they could come to an agreement to merge the communities and share the hosting burden?

I wish it were true, but no, not really.

Sometimes they’re desaturated.

Sometimes they’re 3:4.

Sometimes they’re straight-up black and white.

Changing something about the appearance of of the image is done often. But I don’t think blurry would do unless it’s a really short flashback. It would either look like a mistake (camera not in focus for instance), not be intense enough to be apparent on smaller or lower resolution TVs, or be distracting and annoying to the viewer (say, some sort of foveated motion blur).

Because my PC is an entertainment box. I don’t want to turn it into a problem to solve.

Also, Nvidia.

I thought most of Grindr was more or less that expectation. Hey, you’re hot, and if you think I’m hot too, let’s meet up tonight. Here’s a sample.

Something like that.

I’m guessing I’m at least partly wrong?

Strictly an app for gay men so I think a woman would be quite out of place

Aah, parenting competence tests. The thing that SOUNDS like a good idea until you think about it for more than two seconds.

Oh boy why are people like this.

There aren’t many Jewish people here so by proxy I’ve never seen antisemitism in person. I’m not well-placed to talk at all.

That said, it’s hard not to wonder whether the term antisemitism isn’t being used abusively…

I mean so far we haven’t given them much reason to think otherwise.

On one hand, that’s handy.

On the other hand, that’s so much ewaste…

And I guess they really care about cost too, because if they wanted it as easy as possible, it would have a treadmill and a box with a 360° barcode scanner or something and the person could be spared from the whole bagging area thing.

But yeah, that simplification and accessibility ends up being what alienates me because of how significant it is. Hopefully there are enough of us that they’ll keep some cashiers around.

I hate how self-checkout treats me like a child and speaks and prompts me a zillion times for things I don’t want. How many bags do you want to buy? None, because I have mine like 90% of people, geez. How about a donation? Unexpected item in bagging area. TAKE YOUR RECEIPT. Nooooo

And it even SPEAKS. LOUDLY. It burns through ALL my patience within seconds.

If it just let me scan my stuff having me tap on a touchscreen, and then just let me stay the payment machine in a single touch, and it were silent … I might tolerate it. Otherwise, get back, demon.

The only times when I’ve seen anyone complain about the length of lines were times when it was clear staffing was very much insufficient. Line all the way to the back of the supermarket and literally 2 cashiers total.

If that doesn’t reveal anything, maybe try to get your hands on a dirt cheap alternate GPU. Memory and GPU would also be my two possible suspects.

Also GPU driver I guess but I feel like you wouldn’t be alone with the issue then.

Did they really not vote for it? I feel like right-wing people might actually want this sort of inhumane mass expulsion.
