Toss a coin to yer Witcher
  • Good point. I don't know how I didn't realize that.

    I also agree with your opinion regarding which way is correct

  • What was your worst consensual sexual experience?
  • A few years ago I moved to a new city but hadn't had any luck dating. One day I matched a girl on some online dating site who immediately started sexting aggressively. Usually I'm the more intimate type, but I thought that I hadn't had sex in a while so I went for it.

    She took the lead and started giving me head, which wasn't so bad honestly. But I just couldn't get into it. When she rode me I didn't get fully limp, but I wasn't really hard either. At some point she apparently came (or just got bored of my dead fish impression) and I pretty quickly packed my things and left.

    That day I learned I really need some type of emotional connection with a person before having sex works for me.

  • Don't make a mistake in choosing a distro
  • Also making people familiar with your system makes it more likely that they'll want to use it at work, too

  • I think you got it spot on. I guess OP thinks being sometimes right means being right in general

  • Israel doesn't have the right to exist
  • I agree two states are probably the most realistic solution to the current situation. But I don't think Israel should have been established by colonial powers in the first place.

  • What popular product do you think is modern day snakeoil?
  • Yeah, GMO is not the same as breeding. Its just that the comment I originally replied to claimed that, unless I didn't understand them correctly

  • The "xylo" is greek for wood
  • oooh I see, thanks for that clarification :)

  • Israel doesn't have the right to exist
  • Not really. It doesn't deny Jews the right to exist, just the Jewish ethno state that was established by colonial powers.

  • The "xylo" is greek for wood
  • As far as I understand, a vibraphone is basically a glockenspiel with resonators

  • Has anybody noticed that some videos on YouTube will let you out of the app and continue playing in PiP mode on iOS?
  • Idk, there are several things pointing towards me having ADHD, but I haven't looked for a diagnosis. For some reason it just really irks me to hear half of a conversation, so I keep going back to my "background" media to rewind so I can hear everything.

  • Has anybody noticed that some videos on YouTube will let you out of the app and continue playing in PiP mode on iOS?
  • I've heard many people say that, but I don't really rewatch shows, and when I do, I still want to focus on them. I also don't really watch live streams or vods, but just like rewatching things, if I choose to do so, I want to take it all in. It kind of irks me hearing half a conversation. When I put something like that on in the background, I keep rewinding a few seconds so I can hear all of the conversation. Idk, for background entertainment music works best for me, personally.

  • What popular product do you think is modern day snakeoil?
  • I wasn't sure how many crops are actually bred in a significant way, and I didn't feel like researching so I just wrote "a lot".

  • What popular product do you think is modern day snakeoil?
  • By that logic a lot of vegetables are GMO.

  • sigh...
  • Yeah I pretty much stopped playing competitive games completely. I really like playing with friends so I play a lot of coop. A way out and it takes two were some excellent coop games. Escape simulator and escape academy as well, if you're into puzzles.

  • Has anybody noticed that some videos on YouTube will let you out of the app and continue playing in PiP mode on iOS?
  • I really don't get how people enjoy consuming two sources of information at once. Every time I try to watch something while doing something else, I get frustrated at how I'm unable to properly focus on one thing.

  • A Friend Got Me This Skirt For My Birthday And I Wanted To Share
  • I agree with cuteness not being reserved for a specific gender but the way you put the blame on girls doesn't seem right.

  • Will AI fully replace human friendship/companionship someday?
  • Here's a tip: get a UV light and turn it on in your bathroom. It'll make you close the lid pretty quickly.

  • Playing around with some visual mods, but the terrain is Vanilla
  • We found a really cool spot on 617224702002663638 at around 1300, 3000. its a valley surrounded by mountains and cherry trees.

  • What was your first operating system or Linux Distribution?
  • XP. I only got into Linux about 6 months ago.

    Laptop randomly playing media

    Edit: sadly, Auto Tab Discard did not fix my issue. Firefox is also set to block audio (including video with audio to my understanding) by default, which I never changed so I don't think that helps with this issue either.

    So I installed pop on my laptop a few months ago, and recently got another one where I installed arch. On both laptops I mostly just watched series, and often times I'd just leave the laptop with the media player still open.

    Now to the issue: Randomly throughout the day, it would just start playing whatever I left open, usually after a few hours of being left alone. Now that I think about it, I think it was only crunchyroll. Does anyone experience anything similar, or might even have an idea as to how to fix this or what causes this? Is it just crunchyroll being buggy?

    My cats 1st birthday is coming up, what kind of treat should I get him?

    How do I say "stay hydrated" in japanese?

    I am designing a tshirt with a friend and we wanted to put some japanese on it. Since my japanese is extremely basic (こんにちは、ミカです) I wanted to ask whether the symbols DeepL gave us mean what we think it means. We want to have a skeleton inside a water bottle and the text should read "stay hydrated" and we got these symbols: 水分補給. Do they work in that context? Or are there any better suggestions we could use? Thanks in advance!

    [SOLVED] Bring existing KDE Konsole into focus instead of launching if one exists

    I use KDE on arch and would like to achieve the following behavior:

    Whatever way I launch Konsole, I want it to check whether there already is a Konsole instance. If one exists, it should be brought into focus, and if no instance exists, one should be launched.

    I am unable to find such an option in the Konsole settings, even though I found a roughly 1 year old forum entry mentioning such a setting. Was it removed or am I just blind? Or do I need some optional dependency?

    Alternatively, it would be fine if this could simply kick in when I use my Super+K shortcut, which I've set up. Maybe there's a way to call Konsole from the terminal like that? I tried using konsole --force-reuse but it didn't seem to do the trick, and konsole --new-tab does not bring Konsole into the foreground.

    Edit: Here's a script that does this, by @Audalin@lemmy.world

    #!/bin/bash WIN="$(kdotool search --class org.kde.konsole | head -1)" if [[ "$WIN" != "" ]]; then kdotool windowactivate "$WIN" else konsole fi

    kdotool is available in AUR as kdotool-git

    [SOLVED] Drop ENTR media keys on linux

    I recently bought a Drop ENTR, and I would like to use the media keys. On the drop.com website it says that using FN + the F-keys should work, but “Fn hotkeys may work with Windows operating system only.”. Well, for me it doesn’t work. Any ideas as to why that could be, or how I could go about creating a workaround?

    obligatory I use arch btw

    Heroic Games Launcher not finding other drives (solved)

    I have 2 relevant drives. The system drive, and a drive with my game files. The drive with the game files is mounted. However, it is not displayed under "Other devices" and I am unable to select it from /dev/

    Installed it using yay from AUR (aur/heroic-games-launcher-bin 2.14.1-1).

    Any ideas as to what may be causing this, or how to go about troubleshooting?

    Looking for someone to play nintendo smash bros with

    I think the community here is much better than reddit, so I'm trying here first.

    I've been living here for a few years now but haven't yet found anyone who enjoys playing smash bros with me. I'm by no means an expert in the game but I am good enough that noone I met here so far was a real challenge. I would describe my skill level as advanced casual.

    I'm also happy to meet in some kind of public space first to get rid of the serial killer vibes, but my goal definitely is a friend to play smash bros with. Shoot me a DM if you're interested :)

    Checking dependencies for manual build and install of software

    I am pretty new to linux so please excuse any foolish mistakes.

    I am trying to manually install gpu-screen-recorder(GSR) to get rid of an annoying password prompt that I can't seem to disable in the flatpak version. I know there must be some way to do it because this prompt didn't show up on Pop!_OS, but maybe it's just not possible on Nobara KDE/Fedora. I noticed in the install.sh of GSR, that setcap cap_sys_admin+ep is called on the executable. So if you know any way of replicating something like that for flatpaks that is simpler than installing GSR manually, feel free to let me know.

    I tried checking the dependencies listed, but was unable to figure out how to really make sure they are installed and accessible for GSR.

    For example: I tried checking for libglvnd by running dnf list libglvnd. Sure enough, it returns

    Installed Packages libglvnd.i686 1:1.6.0-2.fc38 @anaconda libglvnd.x86_64 1:1.6.0-2.fc38 @anaconda

    But then I tried checking for mesa, so I ran dnf list mesa. But it returned

    Available Packages mesa.src 23.2.1-1.fc38 nobara-baseos mesa.src 23.2.1-1.fc38 nobara-baseos-multilib

    It says 'available packages', so not installed, right?

    Well, glxinfo -B says I am using mesa 23.2.1, so it seems to be installed, I guess?

    So, just assuming I had everything necessary, I cloned the repo and tried to just run install.sh. However, of course I get an error message: wayland-scanner: command not found.

    I am a bit confused because I am running on wayland, and checked using loginctl show-session 1 -p Type.

    How do I properly make sure the dependencies are available?

    How do I get rid of excessive password prompts, with the least amount of lost security?

    I understand they are important and are what makes linux relatively secure compared to windows.

    However, when I boot my PC, I don't want to spend a whole minute to type my password into different promts that keep getting hidden behind other windows that are starting up. I am using Nobara KDE now, but previously when I was using Pop!_OS, none of these prompts showed up.

    Currently I have 2 prompts after logging on. One for my keychain when discord autostarts, and one for flatpak when gpu-screen-recorder launches. Interestingly, discord works just fine, with auto logon, regardless of whether the keychain prompt gets canceled or filled with the password.

    Any idea on how to get rid of them? I'd prefer if really only that startup prompt was gone, and it would still ask me for the password whenever it launches any other way.

    YouTube not going fullscreen properly

    I recently switched to Linux. First I tried Pop_OS, and am now on Nobara. On both systems I have this issue, that when I open a YouTube video in a new tab, and immediately start fullscreen, it doesn't properly do it.

    As you probably know, YouTube videos start playing before the whole page has finished loading. There are some placeholders for the title and description etc, but the actual text is still loading despite the video already playing. If I enter fullscreen during this moment, the browser enters full screen mode, but not the video/website.

    What I remember happening on windows is that when the page finished loading, the video would enter proper fullscreen mode. Now, on Linux, that doesn't seem to work and the website just gets displayed regularly with the browser now in fullscreen mode.

    Any ideas on what could cause this or how to troubleshoot this?

    I moved places yesterday! But...

    ... it looks like ended up breaking my PC on the move somehow... I even went ahead and removed the GPU to prevent it from breaking but it looks like that's actually what ended up being broken 🙃 (I have 4 debug LEDs. When I turn it on it goes from CPU to DRAM to VGA and gets stuck there). I'll have to see if I can get it to work somehow after I get home later, but I'm afraid I was unlucky enough to actually have killed my GPU with static electricity. And of course it had to be the most expensive part....
