  • That answered my question exactly, thanks very much!

  • I mean more in relation to federation. I'm not sure how downvotes work with federation as a whole, honestly.

  • Some instances just disable downvotes. I have no idea exactly how that functions exactly, but I'd guess that matters. IIRC Beehaw and Lemmynsfw have both disabled downvotes. There's probably more.

  • Can someone recommend me a wireless headset?

    Jump

  • I also have an Arctis 1- I paid ~$70 USD- and I'd recommend them as well. They're very comfy, and the mesh pads mean they're reasonably breathable. I have zero complaints with the battery life- I've never had it manage to die during a very solid day of use. Though if I forget to charge them overnight they usually die sometime the next day. And that's after nearly 2 years of use- I bought them in June 2023.

    Interestingly, I've had a very different experience with the mute switch. I find it pretty stiff. Which I'd say is a good thing. The volume wheel next to it, however, is really easily moved. I occasionally turn the volume down accidentally just taking the headset on and off.

    Also: If you have a phone case the USB C dongle might not fit. I have to remove my case to use them with my phone. Not a huge deal, but worth mentioning.

    Maybe a plus, maybe not depending on your preferences, but I think they look normal. They're not explicitly gamer-y, or anything. I wouldn't feel embarrassed wearing them in public like I might some jagged RGB'd monstrosity.

  • I decided to make a new Reddit account yesterday after deleting mine back a bit after they shut down the mobile API.

    I deleted it again this morning. I might have some minor issues with Lemmy, but my god Reddit is a toxic cesspit. People just suck there, and I'm not sure exactly why.

  • What happens to all the used guns?

    Jump

  • It depends? I've honestly never heard of a firearm being irreparably broken- there's not usually a ton of different parts involved like with a car so repairs are drastically similar.

    The amount of use and abuse a gun would need to be broken in some kind of semi-permanent way would be a lot. Generally if you've got the money for that amount of ammo, you're going to have the money to have your gun- which you clearly like- repaired.

    If you really just want to get rid of it, though, from my understanding you can take it to any police station (probably call ahead showing up with a gun randomly is a bad idea) and they'll dispose of it for you.

    If you're asking about the mechanics of it, all you need to legally 'destroy' a firearm is an oxy/acetylene torch. The ATF has a nice little guide.

  • Judge Uses D&D’s Failure To Make Him Worship Satan To School Florida On Social Media Moral Panics

    Jump

  • That title is definitely difficult to understand lol

    The Judge used the fact that he played D&D in the 80s when it was 'well known' that D&D would make you a satanist- which is obviously ridiculous- to refute that it's 'well known' that kids are addicted to social media today.

    MR. GOLEMBIEWSKI: Well, Your Honor, it is well known in this country that kids are addicted to these platforms. This is a mental health —

    THE COURT: It was well known when I was growing up that I was going to become a Satanist because I played Dungeons & Dragons. Is that — I don’t know what really that means. You can say that there’s studies, Judge, and you can’t ignore expert reports that say X.

  • Xbox's new hardware plans begin with a [PC OEM] gaming handheld set for later this year, with full next-gen consoles targeting 2027

    Jump

  • There's still a market for that. People liked the Nvidia Shield and that's more or less what it is afaik.

  • It's entirely possible that the F-35 or F-22 has something like that. Even if it doesn't, it's definitely expecting regular software updates which it wouldn't be getting.

    The older jets, like the F-16s they've given to Ukraine, I highly doubt have any kind of kill switch.

  • Suppose you were a dissident facing political persecution, how would you preserve your personal files so that you can retrieve it many years later, in case of imprisonment?

    Jump

  • Even if they're obsolete there will almost certainly be some way to retrieve your data unless you're expecting to go away for a LONG time- if you went away in the 90s and did this I'm pretty sure it'd be as simple as buying a SATA-IDE adapter.

  • It's their fifth most recent post, from three days ago. I found it by just looking at the community and searching IQ. It was on page 2 for me.

    Also, what do you even mean doxxing them? Nobody said anything about posting their real name and address.

  • What really separates a PC from a server? Mainly the hardware, but I guess software too.

    Jump

  • Ah, good advice. Thanks! The first one I spotted had an i5-7500T in it, so I don't think 7th gen ones will be all that rare.

  • This is a fantastic idea, thanks. I've been intending to set up a media server for awhile now.

  • ...maybe some of them?

    I have no idea why a laptop with dedicated graphics would do that because it would add latency and simply not be necessary.

    I’m probably no longer center-left. If you could decide from my thinking, what political affiliation should I research to see if it fits me?

    Jump

  • Then why is your political affiliation relevant?

    There's an incredibly simple solution to not caring about politics: not caring about politics.

  • Why does most religion talk about their GOD being male? Especially Christains and Muslims. Is there a prominent female god that as big as the other two that I am missing?

    Jump

  • It’s a little more complicated than that.

    I've been interested in mythologies for a long time and in my experience this phrase literally always applies.

    But I didn't actually know most of that, really interesting! Thank you.

    Jump

  • Shinto's Izanagi wasn't really the "head god" I thought? He was the creator deity, and fathered the rest but that's true for Ouranos in Greek myth and I don't think he'd be considered a primary deity at all.

    From my understanding that was Amaterasu. Wikipedia agrees, for whatever that's worth.

    Often considered the chief deity (kami) of the Shinto pantheon, she is also portrayed in Japan's earliest literary texts, the Kojiki

    I don't really know of any other solid examples of a female-led pantheon, though.

  • It's just a preorder for DLC, basically, or if they're all released it's just a DLC bundle pack.
