The collective users of Bluesky, to the monkey's paw: "It sure would be nice if Lindsay Ellis posted here more often..."

That was the entire point of #metoo. That one woman wasn't even enough. That a man had to derail the careers of dozens before people started saying "oh yeah maybe we shouldn't let him ruin the careers of so many people."

Seriously, it was like those ports didn't even exist as far as lsusb was concerned. Devices plugged in there couldn't be seen either. Going to play with OBS tonight, and hopefully having a WORKING 3.0 port for this 3.0 capture device will eliminate the awful frame rate I was having the other night.

Ugh. Everything worked, but somewhere between my capture device and OBS, my frame rate is getting shredded. Very choppy output to stream. I'll need to play with it and figure out what's wrong.

On the positive side, I found this absolute BANGER in the Fortnite menu. Heavy post-punk/new-wave vibes.

I just wanna know what these people think they’re accomplishing anyway. Does the keyboard equivalent of a slip of the tongue make them so incapable of engaging with what’s actually being discussed in the thread? Or are they only here for an opportunity to dunk?

I looked up how they changed it. I think this might have killed all the interest I had. Was really looking forward to this one too.

All I can think of is Spielberg’s “War of the Worlds,” which was BRILLIANT until the “oh look everyone inexplicably survived and so did our house and marriage” ending.

Bold words to say about the band that made the best James Bond theme of all time.

I’m reminded of the Ainu tradition of not naming children until they were around three years, and then choosing a name that fit their temperament (which could be changed if necessary.) Prior to naming, they were called vulgar things like garbage pile or little shit to protect them from evil spirits.

i understand vigilance against Brianna Wu/ Buck Angel bozos, but give the benefit of the doubt where you can.

some folx are at risk of winding up in a forever feud with each other. that’s a waste of everyone’s energy. focus on the actual reactionaries, not an effigy of your dysphoria & fear.

Also, depending on your hardware/drivers, you might have to disable DXVK to get VSeeFace to run properly in Bottles. I never had any problems under Ubuntu, but in Mint that's what I had to do. Lutris worked fine, though. Either way, that Facetracker app I linked took care of the actual hard part.
