    is Dicio horrible for you too?

    Jump

  • It works surprisingly well for me, but then again, I don't really use it for anything that complicated. I mostly use it for speech-to-text.

  • Favorite Movie With Practical Effects?

    Jump

  • Mad Max Fury Road. Pretty impressive what they were able to accomplish.

    Here's the behind the scenes shot of my favorite effect near the end of the film. Link is timestamped but the rest of the video is pretty cool too.

    Should we opt out of Lemvotes?

    Jump

  • I'm in favor of opting out of this, but not because of privacy concerns. Being able to identify how users vote would take away from conversation, as well as discourage users who would rather avoid being dragged into the conversation from voting at all. Sure, the data is already available to those willing to spin up an instance, but the overwhelming majority of people wouldn't bother. This really should be opt in instead of opt out.

  • The Steam controller was ahead of its time

    Jump

  • For me it mostly excels in games that were designed exclusively for mouse and keyboard. Ime it's pretty bad for fps games though, maybe if you used the gyro, but I haven't tried that much personally. I love it for Rimworld, Dwarf Fortress, and lots of little indie games that don't have gamepad support ootb.

  • Do you write left-handed? I do, and this is my sequence too.

  • The Struggle Session

    Jump

  • Would never consider doing even a second interview let alone any take home projects slave labor.

  • Xbox One controller/wireless adapter driver xone 3.1 released.

    Jump

  • I use it because the default driver would not work with my Thrustmaster controller that uses the Xbox controller standard.

  • Luigi Mangione Musical Set to Debut Next Month. The Entire Run Is Already Sold Out

    Jump

  • So confident, so incorrect.

  • What's the point in getting married?

    Jump

  • Of course there are the legal benefits people have mentioned, but I think a lot of it is that humans love our symbolism and ceremonious tradition. Sure, the ring and ceremony aren't what make your bond, but it is symbolically immortalized through them.

    Weddings don't have to be incredibly expensive. My wife doesn't like diamonds, so I proposed to her with a piece of her birth stone. We had our wedding in a state park, we were able to reserve a large section of it for sub $100. We went with simple silver wedding bands from a local jeweler. The biggest cost was food and drink for 70 people. Even though ours was comparatively cheap for a wedding, you could do it way cheaper. Some couples choose to elope, some have a smaller ceremony with only their closest family. It doesn't need to cost an arm and a leg to be a beautiful day.

  • Firefox deletes promise to never sell personal data, asks users not to panic

    Jump

  • Made the switch to Fennec and IceRaven on Android, and Zen on my Linux desktop, which also has Windows and Mac versions. Sure, they're forks of Firefox, but they are not subject to the same TOS. I used to use LibreWolf on my desktop but ended up having too many issues with it. Lots of crashing and instablility that regular Firefox just didn't have.

    Another great tool for unGoogled Android users is FFUpdater. It will handle updating of many open source (not just Firefox-based) browsers. You could also use something like Obtanium for something less browser-specific.

  • Google Calendar removes Pride Month and Black History Month

    Jump

  • Right, thank you. Fossify is what I use, force of habit with the old name.

  • Since Xorg is getting old, looking at trying Wayland WMs

    Jump

  • I keep mine running 24/7 because it puts less thermal wear on the hardware. But I pay a flat rate for my electricity included in my rent, so it doesn't cost any extra.
