is it really so much to ask to discuss politics on communities that are meant for it? I know it may be hard to understand but some people don't want to spend every waking moment sorting through other people's political views (whether they agree or not). let the areas that are for funny shit only be only funny shit, there are places for political statements and this isn't one of them. honestly at least make the political thing a meme if you're going to put it in a meme community this post was just a statement.
it's not a meme at all, it's just a statement. it has to be a microblog meme, not just a microblog.
personally I prefer a laptop over a handheld but those should work decent too
that's what I was implying I switched back in August
I know that, but since internet meme became I thing it has gained a second definition as a type of joke, which is the meaning intended in the names of meme communities. there are places for politics (including political memes) and this is not one of them.
there are politics communities for political stuff, it meme communities are meant for funny stuff.
its to put a little bowl in so you can get the samples for the doctor easier.
crawl, rounds, ship of fools, pico park (better with a large group), risk of rain returns (2 would also be good except that it doesn't actually support local multiplayer, only online).
fire site
if anyone was looking for a good time to switch to PC, it's now. some stuff will be harder but you'll have steam sales and control over your own device (more than a console anyway, if your running windows you'll still have to put up with Microsoft).
idk that one sounds like something a five year old really would say after someone tried to explain what gay means for the first time
this isn't even a meme, there are politics communities for this kind of thing.
my issue with snaps is honestly just that they are controlled too much by just one entity (canonical) and there is no reason for them to exist because flatpak already does everything they do.
I used to genuinely argue that it wasn't a finger bc it had only two segments, not three. I've since realized that there is a third and I'm fucking stupid.
I like my girls randomly generated by proton pass and filled in at the click of a button
since I moved to Linux back in August I've been using libreoffice. the only issue I have had is the default paper size being whatever it is Europeans use (printers full of eagle paper got mad) but after changing it I had no issues.
I'm in college rn and i grew up not understanding that until i asked one time while watching a movie.
as a kid I really hated mushrooms bc of the texture. now I love them so long as they aren't on their own (on a burger or smth like that).
Upscaling is actually good (as an option)
I've seen a lot of people lately saying that upscaling (fsr, dlss, etc.) is a bad thing, including some calling it 'fake frames', which is probably due to them confusing it with frame generation.
What upscaling does is take an input (a frame rendered at 1080p, for example) and attempt to improve it by generating more information (bringing that 1080p frame to 1440p). this does make things a little fuzzy, but it also frees up resources to allow stuff like improved lighting to be rendered which makes games like cyberpunk able to be rendered at a decent framerate without a $5,000 gpu.
Frame generation is different. It takes an input as well (same 1080p frame, for example), but it doesn't improve the frame. It makes a new one based on that frame, sometimes several. These actually are 'fake frames', and this is what the people who called upscaling fake frames were really talking about.
I won't lie, upscaling is definitely a crutch and the goal should be to be able to render that
Underdogs is amazing.
I recently got underdogs for my quest 3, and I was expecting somewhere in between real steel, pacific rim, and (if it had a game) battlebots. I got not only that, but an excellent rougelite with a great soundtrack and visual style. It takes place in a cyberpunk 2077-esque world in which you (rigg) must help your brother (king) get into the last place controlled by humans, new brakka, before an ai called big sys hacks into his brain. you are trying to get in via underground mech fights in your mech called the gorilla. the controls match the mech perfectly, making you move by grabbing the ground and throwing yourself around the arena (like a gorilla, shockingly) and enemies. it also features a sandbox and challenge mode that's a lot like the map maker from portal 2. overall the game is awesome and totally worth the $30 price tag.
edit: Should also mention it is a great workout, I got the game a couple days ago and my shoulders and biceps feel like I dipped them in lava.
Does the new policy apply to forks?
What the title says, specifically I am wondering about floorp.
'Locally Integrated menus' in KDE
Back in 2017, a bug report was created on bugzilla asking for 'Locally Integrated Menus' like the Unity desktop. This was a feature where the menubar of an app was displayed in the titlebar, appearing on hover by default (though you could make it always visible).
Over the next couple years there was some development, but it was mostly in individual window decorations such as "Material Decoration". In 2021, there was a merge request made to finally add LIMs into KDE plasma as an option for titlebars. Unfortunately, due to proximity to the release of plasma 6, reliance on x11, and "a technical disagreement over where it should live" [Guido Iodice, @giodice, 2023 comment under merge request], the merge request has had no changes since August 11, 2021.
Personally, I would love to have this feature as it would save a entire menubar's worth of vertical space on my screen and wo

popcorn time?
long story short, fuck company; still want shows. I remember popcorn time being good at one point, is it still good?
What does your OS do that I should steal?
I use a Linux distro with kde, so I have a lot of customization available. I like trying other distros in VMs, but stuff like windows (no need to copy really kde is similar by default) and Mac is a pain in the ass to use that way. so, I want to know what your os does that you think I should copy using kde's customization. I'm looking for Mac in particular (bc I haven't used it before) but any OS or desktop environment is fair game.
how do I microblog?
I currently use mbin and I like it because I like reddit-style social media, but for stuff from specific people and organizations microblog is sometimes better. I want to use the microblog part more (for example, make a post asking the Vivaldi account if there is any possibility of Vivaldi switching to a Firefox base instead of chromium. also I know it's not that easy no need to discuss that on this thread) but tbh I don't understand microblog stuff at all. in particular I want to know how I'm supposed to use @s and #s, and how I'm meant to interact with it. I know this seems kind of silly but I've never really used microblog-style social media until I got into the fediverse a couple months ago.
edit: to clarify, I am not asking how to use the microblog feature of mbin. I am asking about microblog in general.
why so much Star Trek?
why is like 30% of the content on Lemmy star trek related? is it just a side effect of the particular communities I'm in or is it an actual platform-wide thing?
How to run current file in Kate?
I am fairly new to programming and for my cs class i need to run individual programs. they don't need to interact with anything else, so i am trying to just run the file I'm currently on but Kate just greys out the option. I really want to avoid using projects if i can because they're just extra effort for no reason when I only need to run a single file. I did try using one, but Kate doesn't have a new project button for some reason and i had some trouble with Cmake.
I'm aware that these are actually pretty basic things, but I can't find anything online that actually explains how to use Kate at all. I would try using something else, but every IDE seems to have this same issue where by default it can't run code and it has no documentation of any kind regarding actually running code, so i'll just stick with the one that came with my distro.
also as a bonus question, why does every IDE seem to require you to configure every single option before it can run code and why do they all
