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.

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).
the fw16 is one generation behind which means absolutely nothing. the fd sold out 8 batches within hours of being announced. you seem to be implying the fd is a pointless device (if not, my bad for misinterpreting) but you are missing that the goal of framework is to make things that are better for consumers and more sustainable, meaning that with how big AI has gotten they need to provide something that makes it less harmful and allows it to be interacted with by people outside of big companies with agendas.
riots dont do anything. calling a riot a protest is just a way to rationalize mindless looting and destruction of innocent people's property. if you think we are in a situation where peaceful means no longer work then organize a real attack that directly hits the people you're mad at. if the situation isn't bad enough for coordinated violence with a real goal then it's not bad enough for violence at all. I don't care about trump specifically and I never mentioned him, what I care about is people ruining good causes to justify mindless destruction and theft. protest if peaceful means are still there, fight if they aren't. riots are neither of these things, they're just idiots breaking things for fun.
jokes don't need to be factually accurate. people are allowed to say things just to be entertaining, get off your high horse and think for once.
quality: OLED wins by every conceivable metric
price: OLED is significantly more expensive but worth it (assuming you can afford it)
longevity: burn-in makes OLED worse but still (if you can afford it) reasonable.
it's in greentext format, clearly labeling it as a joke. if you take it seriously you are an idiot. jokes are not sources of factual information, so only an idiot treats them that way.
y'all it's not a lie, it's a meme
riots are not a valid form of protest unless all peaceful means have failed, and then they are far less effective than other non-peaceful methods. riots are what you do when you are too stupid to find a solution.
the hell is this?
it's a small company and the fw16 is still up to date.
I was making a joke I'm not gonna check if I'm right first
starfield counts as "anything but".
they really doing anything but making elder scrolls 6 huh
not sure what that is, but it sounds like it's pretty much the same idea.
even though it's better than a lot of other platforms, it's still social media and still ruins some people's ability to communicate the same way.
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
