Why has nobody ever made a vertical gaming mouse?
  • I did a bit of searching and found a bunch. Not major peripheral brands, but a fair few with programmable buttons, adjustable DPI, wireless or wired etc. No idea if any of them are actually good or not. I assume they aren't what you're looking for, but just in case..

    there's more but I'm already worried this will come across patronising lol.

  • Israeli official warns power grid not prepared for war with Hezbollah
  • He's giving a helpful hint that Lebanon has a near identical grid at home to analyse, train against, etc. I think the point is that Israel should expect Hezbollah to be able to efficiently disable the electric grid if hostilities reach that level.

  • I can't visit my uncle, and I don't know how to break it to him.
  • I have to reunite with you all before I die

    That would be a nice sentiment if he were prepared to put effort in to see you rather than demanding you put the effort in to see him.

    I understand feeling bad about it but the only thing you can do is politely tell him you are simply unable to go. He will get over it.

  • How many of you have high paying jobs, and how have you prevented your material means and social circles from eroding your leftist convictions?
  • Back before I lost my job and fell into destitution I was a reasonably well paid software developer.

    Staying aware of what is happening in the world will probably keep you reality checked. Also a well paid job often comes with obscene demands from managers and other bosses, if you are even mildly educated on Marxism you will see how the fuckery manifests in every capitalist environment.

    You will have to fight not to be exploited.

    You will struggle with the ignorance and/or fear that keeps your colleagues from unionising.

    So yeah don't worry about it and good luck.

  • Museum of the British
  • The poster doesn't even express concern for the standing stones, just muh optics posting as usual.

    I like Stonehenge. I know some people find it unimpressive, but I think it's cool as fuck. I think it's an appropriate target for protest against a failing apocalyptic system, may its scars record the protestors' struggle forever.

  • I found a hate subreddit where photos of homeless people and their camps are posted, and referred to as vermin, etc.
  • A Modest Proposal
    For preventing the children of poor people in Ireland, from being a burden on their parents or country, and for making them beneficial to the publick
    Author: Jonathan Swift

    ...

    I am assured by our merchants, that a boy or a girl, before twelve years old, is no saleable commodity, and even when they come to this age, they will not yield above three pounds, or three pounds and half a crown at most, on the exchange; which cannot turn to account either to the parents or kingdom, the charge of nutriments and rags having been at least four times that value.

    I shall now therefore humbly propose my own thoughts, which I hope will not be liable to the least objection.

    I have been assured by a very knowing American of my acquaintance in London, that a young healthy child well nursed, is, at a year old, a most delicious nourishing and wholesome food, whether stewed, roasted, baked, or boiled; and I make no doubt that it will equally serve in a fricasee, or a ragoust.

    I do therefore humbly offer it to publick consideration, that of the hundred and twenty thousand children, already computed, twenty thousand may be reserved for breed, whereof only one fourth part to be males; which is more than we allow to sheep, black cattle, or swine, and my reason is, that these children are seldom the fruits of marriage, a circumstance not much regarded by our savages, therefore, one male will be sufficient to serve four females. That the remaining hundred thousand may, at a year old, be offered in sale to the persons of quality and fortune, through the kingdom, always advising the mother to let them suck plentifully in the last month, so as to render them plump, and fat for a good table. A child will make two dishes at an entertainment for friends, and when the family dines alone, the fore or hind quarter will make a reasonable dish, and seasoned with a little pepper or salt, will be very good boiled on the fourth day, especially in winter.

    I have reckoned upon a medium, that a child just born will weigh 12 pounds, and in a solar year, if tolerably nursed, encreaseth to 28 pounds.

    I grant this food will be somewhat dear, and therefore very proper for landlords, who, as they have already devoured most of the parents, seem to have the best title to the children.

    Infant’s flesh will be in season throughout the year, but more plentiful in March, and a little before and after; for we are told by a grave author, an eminent French physician, that fish being a prolifick dyet, there are more children born in Roman Catholick countries about nine months after Lent, than at any other season; therefore, reckoning a year after Lent, the markets will be more glutted than usual, because the number of Popish infants, is at least three to one in this kingdom, and therefore it will have one other collateral advantage, by lessening the number of Papists among us.

    ...

  • Lemmy.world is looking for new admins
  • What's the app called? I had a search around and couldn't find it and I want to reverse it for entertainment purposes. Or do you just mean how they seem to be the default instance for a bunch of apps?

    BUSTED

    I was checking out this guy and his skateboard and drip.

    Then he turned around and saw me and I don't think I even remembered to smile.

    In my defense I was kinda shook cuz I don't normally find people attractive, let alone men, let alone enough to be staring. He looked so punk-dirtbag and hot. What the fuck.

    Anyway I'm here to turn myself in to horny jail.

    Haha Australia's doing a bank run on Tuesday

    Apparently as a protest against "cashless society" efforts.

    Yeah righto, it's a bank run and it better be funny as fuck.

    Mainstream news are already drawing attention to it so there might be a slim chance that something entertaining will transpire.

    its official my partner is ace and aromantic

    I thought she just didn't want to do sex stuff or cuddle or show affection..

    Anyway I just thought it was important to let the world know that you can be volcel army and still be in a committed ten year relationship. In fact isn't that what true comradeship is built on?

    Weapons grade cope aside, I think I'm one of those weird types of humans who needs affection and so on. Am I really going to have to start dating again? FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK

    resources on mental health / self care in relation to online activism?

    I'm in need of resources related to maintaining emotional and mental wellbeing when working around communities with a high volume of propaganda, indoctrination messaging and that performative fascist banter.

    Maybe more broadly if anyone could point me to any writing by people who've done this sort of work or action with similar sorts of stressors? Academic research?

    I've been doing some mental inventories and recognise that it's time for a decent break from what I've been working on, but I'd really like some material to help me think about this stuff from more perspectives, see what sorts of tools other people use for harm minimisation and it might also be nice to vibe on someone's recollections and anecdotes if there's anything like that floating around.

    Appreciate anything you might have to share. I had resources at one time but that was a few hard drives and OSes ago.

    Haha sorry I'm late guys..

    I realised the other day I was self isolating to a really risky degree and figured I'd stop lurking. Can't even remember what my old username would've been on r/CTH, time fucking flies in the fugue.

    It's a relief that this place exists, that you all exist and are here talking shit and being decent people. I've been occupied with online fash watching, pulling on threads and fuckery lately and its so bleak doing that shit without a solid and reliable social counterweight. I've been appreciating everyone for just doing the hexbear social project and providing a reliably comfortable and safe place to relax. An oasis of organic life in a dead network.

    Fuck yeah nailed the awkward first post. Hello.
