  • I'm tired of worrying about the future of my career

    Jump

  • I can feel you, similar situations and thoughts, but we will survive, majority of us does. Share your thoughts with partner, good of your chest should happen with them.

    And this is very important for them to find a job. If you have a family and losing one's job means losing home - your partner should already be employed, it is important for your survival. Unless you have savings for at least a year to find a job which will cover current expenses until they will be covered by salaries again.

  • What software tools do you use that are gaming related?

    Jump

  • How do people who can't have or don't want penetrative sex find compatible partners?

    Jump

  • I would say look for the person you will want to like, be open and you both will work something out. Sex is an extention to the relationship, part of it and there are many ways it can be executed or even abandoned if it fits you both.

  • Evolutionarily speaking, wouldn't premature ejaculation be considered the desired trait?

    Jump

  • I would recommend reading https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sex_at_Dawn book. While getting lots of academic criticism, it describes logically (and criticism for that was the most minor) well why penis has a form it has and sex lasts different amount of time for men and women.

    To cut it short our ancestors species females had sex with several males (and vice versa), where evolutionary not the strongest male would reproduce, but whoever sperm will get to the ovum first. So penis is a pump which should help to remove as much sperm of previous males as possible, (that's why some time for sex is required), ejakulate as strong as it can, than soften and loose shape to stop acting like a pump. Also there were spermicids found in substance males ejakulate in the end, which might be to minimize next male chances.

    Partly book is very questionable, but it has some valid points and quite fun to read.

  • What common thing should not only be banned, but criminalized with mandatory minimum sentences?

    Jump

  • Production of cigarettes and tobacco.

    As ex smoker who tried to quit so many times during almost two decades - I know how tough this drug can be and that it's wide acceptance as social norm makes it so much worse.

  • I'm putting my tin foil hat on and want to join the world of Linux, however I make music in Ableton. Do I just need to dual boot or does anyone have a better solution?

    Jump

  • I am a hobbyist and was using ableton live before. As mentioned by others, unless you dual boot - try bitwig studio for similar experience. It is from people who worked in ableton. Have a trial, pirate if can't afford now.

    Foss alternative - ardour is great, but you will have to bring your own plug in suit.

    Yabridge tool can help you to run windows vsts on Linux, but not everything works. And beware - it does not work with flatpak version Bitwig, at least it did not.

  • Company Regrets Replacing All Those Pesky Human Workers With AI, Just Wants Its Humans Back

    Jump

  • "The company" is Klarna.

    Wtf with titles this days 🤦.

  • Which headphone should I get?

    Jump

  • That sucks, did not know, happy I am that both my Beyerdynamics and audio technica headphones are still repairable though. At least majority of parts.

  • Which headphone should I get?

    Jump

  • If you already have another pair or buds, I would just use them instead for scenarios outside of your working/gaming place, because there will be compromises.

    I can't recommend much, but I also have Anker Space Q45, they are closed, have optional jack cable connection, Bluetooth with LDAC (high Bitrate Bluetooth codec), quality is OK and sound is not bad, they do have very good active noise canceling. If I had to choose only one pair, I would check them out. It's just that if you mostly game an Kosten music by computer, Beyerdynamics DT 990 a lre on another level of l quality, longevity and), comfort and sound.

  • Which headphone should I get?

    Jump

  • Beyerdynamic DT 990 are about 150, nice open headphones. Both people with requests to sound and casual listeners enjoy (me and my wife as example). They are built very well. My pair is 12 years old and as new when I replace ear pads. They do have very high level of sound quality and detail, hard to beat in leven double price range. I play games, listen and create music in them, due to mindful construction and open back they can be worn for a long time. Sound is open, crisp, with a lot of highs and pretty detailed. If you don't have anything to drive them, take 80ohm. If you need more volume or better sound, consider cheap, good sounding digital audio converter (DAC) and amplifier - check FIIO brand for example, ka11 (40$) is good and very portable, I also use it with my steam deck. But there are other models cheaper.

    Sennheisers have a lot of good pairs, but I cannot recommend anything from expirience, Audio Technica is Japanese company and their headphones are good sounding, but a lot of their headphones are fragile.

    Overall aim for open headphones as they are better when you wear them for long periods like during gaming. And use return policy to your advantage.

  • Retro games worth picking up on Android?

    Jump

  • I still question myself why did not I try it before as it changed my quality of waiting on different places like public transport by large margin:

    Try turn based games with Lemuroid (frontend for emulators on android). No gamepad required, always in your pocket, everything works out of the box.

    I'm playing psp Valkyria Chronicles and it is great. Such games are perfect format for phone, as anything where reaction and precision is necessary needs gamepad. And you either need to own a retro dedicated handheld and take it with you, or (if you have one) take cumbersome Steamdeck like handheld, which is not feasible for 30 minutes ride.

  • What is the best post sort for Lemmy?

    Jump

  • As some other people suggested, I can also add vote to scaled, especially on subscribed communities.

    I don't spend that much time on lemmy and smaller communities don't get attention in my feed otherwise. With scaled they pop up pretty often.

  • RetroArch on Fedora has blank screen through Steam Link only

    Jump

  • I tried steam link for several games in last weeks and it seems that black screen issue exists in quite some of them. My case is Nvidia on Wayland and it seems to me that could be a culprit in my case. If it's the case for you, too - try xorg first.

    Sorry, can't help you, but interested in solution, too.

  • AI Generated X

    Jump

  • If society tries to suppress something that will find it's way, you will get it back, but hidden, harder to detect and maybe even changed in a harmful way.

    We had it as humanity with alcohol bans, war on drugs, hateful speech bans and etc. We need systematic regulations for unavoidable, not prohibitions which will leak from all places.

    Leaving it be while being explicit is reasonable.

  • OpenSUSE package maintainer removes Bottles’ donation button with "dont-support.patch" file

    Jump

  • TBH I don't have strong opinion where the boundaries of FOSS are. But I can understand their will to minimize effort where you see it fits as an engineer. If they think they lack of manpower to do something, it's their vision as they put work towards it. We can help if we like, agree, disagree or ignore. Does not make sense to blame them though, that was the point of my first comment.

  • OpenSUSE package maintainer removes Bottles’ donation button with "dont-support.patch" file

    Jump

  • It was described in open letter if I recall correctly, bottles is as special as any other project is to any other project, it depends on perspective. But beyond technical details - It is their decision as maintainers, you do not agree with it, I can understand it.

  • OpenSUSE package maintainer removes Bottles’ donation button with "dont-support.patch" file

    Jump

  • I read the drama in Twitter and PR.

    While Bottles maintainer does not do a great job to politely prove the point of the patch to disable Bottles outside of sandboxed environments, he is not required to be a diplomat as mainter (though it would be better, of course) and Bottles decision makes total sense - they asked to not package their software long ago as they drown in bugs and supporting non predictable environment with unknown dependencies creates too many problems for them. I can understand that, development is hard as it is, unpredictability of environment multiplies this complexity.

    They are maintainers and they do what they can to support the project, so removing donate button while packaging software done by others (who asked not to do it) is a childish move. Yes it's FOSS, but morally it sounds a bit wrong.

    We ask too much of mainters when it comes to soft skills, not all of us got these, but also not all of us are FOSS maintainers. And I think we should stop asking everyone to possess all skills in the world and react on someone's rudeness as we are 5 (not saying we shouldn't improve).
