Just bought box wine the other day cuz I knew I had to have a super uncomfortable conversation that could not be avoided and I needed to be anaesthetized for it
It worked and I know in retrospect I really needed it to be that way
Edit/Update: person I had convo with just texted me and apologized for combativeness and I mutually apologized for not dealing with it sooner and we're along and on to solution mode. The system works, please dont drink if you dont have too but dont forbid yourself from using a tool to improve your situation and try to always be honest. The less you lie or hide, the less influence you will have to unnecessarily drink
Uncomfortable? I'd prefer caffeine for that.

Automatic is a tremendously terrible company, and Matt is an egotistical pile of garbage.

It is possible that the image I have submitted here is not the originally-submitted image. That image was on an image host that went down, and archive.org's Wayback Machine did not grab a copy, so I cannot know what the original image was. I used the dashboard image from the source page that Crul linked to, since I'm personally most-interested in the VFD-based dashboards from the era, and because he mentioned the dashboard in the title. Usually I'd just not repost a post if I can't properly resurrect the original content, but I did like this image.
This Cold War-era documentary explores the lesser-known history of Operation Paperclip — the U.S. program that brought former Nazi engineers, including Wernher von Braun, into the early American space effort.

The origins of the V-2 rocket program

How Nazi technology helped land Americans on the Moon
The ethical complexity behind a scientific milestone

I don't think it's lesser-known at all. It's very very well known, but still problematic.
It wasn't ALL Nazi's though. There were plenty of German scientists who were anti-Nazi, displaced by the war, and included in Operation Paperclip. The fact that some were Nazi's, and some were even SS (insane) is the real problem.

Social media kann auch manufactured consent unterlaufen. Deswegen sind die Amis z.B. so rabiat gegen TikTok vorgegangen.
Problem ist natürlich, dass privatwirtschaftliche Plattformen den gleichen "Filter"funktionen unterliegen, wie klassische Medien. Andererseits kommen die Plattformen auch schnell an ihre Grenzen, weil nicht ein paar dutzend, sondern Millionen Menschen kontrolliert werden müssen, immer wieder neue Wege zum Umgehen der Zensur gefunden werden, und nicht zuletzt die Zensur stärker auffällt, als bei klassischen Medien, wo diese für Uninformierte unsichtbar bleibt.
Die Linke hat z.B. im letzten Wahlkampf durch gute Social Media Arbeit ihre Themen deutlich besser platzieren können, als es ihr ARD, ZDF & co. jemals gestattet hätten.
When using TMUX, it is easy to create a script, which opens TMUX, configures the screens/panes of TMUX and open/run programs.
I like this a lot.
My baseline would be something like, when I login, some applications are executed and their windows automatically placed on a virtual desktop.
For example:
Something like that is possible with sway, in the environment I am working, sway is not able to run XWayland applications w/o crashing.
Is there any way to have this functionality on Gnome, Mate, Xfce?
Even better would be something to open several windows and arrange them automatically for different work tasks/projects I am working on. Any ideas?
Edit: Solved! Thanks for the input. Auto Move Windows extension for Gnome solves my problem.
FIAB Segrateciclabile is a local association, promoting cycling as a mean of transport, part of a national FIAB association. What follows is the translation of an Italian post where we share with members of the association why we opened an account on Mastodon (we already have Facebook an IG). I though it would be interesting to share in thos space, since I think this kind of associations should all be on the fediverse, as their values usually align much better than those of X, Facebook etc.
FIAB SegrateCiclabile recently opened an account on Mastodon @FIABSegrateCiclabile@mastodon.uno where we share events and news from our FIAB Ciclobby section.
Mastodon is a social network similar to Twitter, but with different principles. Users only see posts from those who follow, in chronological order, without ads. Unlike Twitter or Facebook, Mastodon is part of a larger network (called Fediverse) composed of many connected servers (called instances). Anyone can open one and be part of it, creating a decentralized environment. This means that no one can control everything, as it does with the big platforms.
Mastodon and the Fediverse share values with cycling and sustainable mobility, as they arise from grassroots with the aim of solving the structural problems of mainstream solutions.
Unlike traditional social media, Mastodon does not require personal data to access content. It promotes an inclusive environment, where hate speech is not tolerated. FIAB is committed to a mobility accessible to all, not only to those who own a car, a driver’s license and the ability and the economic possibility of using it.
Those who ride a bicycle have a deeper connection with their surroundings. The car isolates, while the bike favors genuine interactions. In the Fediverse, users can connect authentically, with no algorithms that manipulate their choices.
The Fediverse represents a reaction to the commercialization of the Internet, giving control back to users. Likewise, FIAB fights to give public space back to people, not cars.
In an era dominated by large corporations, it is essential to enhance digital spaces like Mastodon. These instruments promote freedom of expression, inclusion and democracy, reflecting FIAB. We invite everyone to explore Mastodon and join a community that values genuine connections.
Freedom and democracy must exist in both physical and digital spaces.

Yeah, this one is on Kent... again.
He posted on Patreon that there'll be a DKMS module. In my opinion, this should have been the option from the very beginning and upstreaming at a later point in time. It would have avoided a lot of drama. And now bcachefs is kind of tainted. The only way I ever see it back in mainline is there is an independent downstream of Kent's kernel that has no connection to him whatsoever.
Shame because I had very good experience with the filesystem. Definitely better than when btrfs was new. But Linus is unfortunately right; Kent is unable to follow agreed collaboration rules.
Unfortunate situation that could have been avoided entirely. Though I don't want to be too harsh on Kent. He spent a lot of time and work on bcachefs and it's his most important project. As such, he's more passionate about all of this. But the same can be said for Linus and the kernel on the other side.

PipeWire 1.4.6 open-source server for handling audio/video streams and hardware on Linux is now available for download with various fixes.Marius Nestor (9to5Linux)
It is great. I actually was a heavy critic of pulseaudio and stuck with ALSA on my desktop for as long as I could (until last year) by using Gentoo with USE="alsa -pulseaudio", the X-Fi's hardware mixing and automatic S/PDIF passthrough.
I tried to switch to pulseaudio a couple of times whenever I read one of those "it's good now, trust me bro" articles, but it wasn't, ever. It had and still has a huge amount of hard-coded, opinionated, often perplexing, behavioral quirks that made it feel like it just fought me every step of the way.
Pipewire on the other hand does not only have saner defaults, almost everything is softcoded with a great Lua plugin API. Don't like a default routing choice or want to automate your own, Wireplumber got you covered. Last year my X-Fi failed (or rather got flakey) and I had to choose between buying another used one or moving to PW. Almost everything worked out of the box on PW the way I like it, except a few details which were almost all covered by the settings. For the last problem, encoded streams not clearing the output, I wrote my own routing plugin.
The documentation for that API isn't necessarily the best, but it's easy to start from something small and work your way to understanding how to get the result you want.
A wireplumber linker script that clears output devices for passthrough streams - lucius-martius/wp-clear-for-passthroughGitHub
If it's a pure DAC, it's default output will likely be between 1 to 2 Volts RMS. If your listening on iems or ~30 Ohm headphones that is gonna be crazy loud. It seems like you are using digital audio control to manage this (i.e., the audio level in your DE), which is possible, but certainly not ideal. It also is kinda bad for the audio quality, as you are digitally remixing it, and if you ever switch to high impedance headphones (or already have), the output current will be sub-ideal.
If I'm assessing your situation correctly, then this is quite easy to solve though. You just need a preamp! This will give a nice knob to control audio with much more precision and finesse. I know that both JDS Labs and Schiit Audio offer headphone amps with built in preamps in the USA. I can highly recommend the JDS Labs Atom Amp 2. In Europe your a little more limited, but FiiO has some nice options I think.
Of course none of this is necessary if you don't want audiophile levels of quality, but it would boost the audio quality (presuming your DAC doesn't have a proper preamp), and would certainly give you a tactile, wonderful knob.
I can certainly attest that my HD600s sound quite a bit better out of a JDS Labs Atom Amp 2 than out of just my DAC or—god forbid—my Mobo audio... They sound even better out of my vintage 100W Onkyo amp, of course, but really not by much. I am really impressed by the Atom Amp. I initially just bought it for travelling, but it has now basically become my main amp lol.
Okay, ramble over.

I highly disagree. Transphobia is not a majority opinion, and the only reason trans issues have gotten a political spotlight as of late is as a scapegoat. For instance, take the results of a poll of US citizens by Pew Research Center in 2022:
I would thus argue that opposition of trans rights has in recent history been radical. Very few US voters stood in opposition of protections of trans Americans less than 3 years ago.
Most favor protecting trans people from discrimination, but fewer support policies related to medical care for gender transitions; many are uneasy with the pace of change on trans issues.Travis Mitchell (Pew Research Center)
According to your link, 60% think that your sex must be the sex assigned at birth (54% in 2017, better but not great). Kind of at odds with the first number that has most people in favor of protecting trans people from discrimination. Using trans people as scapegoats wouldn't work if a lot of people weren't already at least on the fence about trans people.
It's true that according to that poll, I've overestimated the transphobia of the average american, though.
Very likely though, the longer you talk, the worse it will get. Therefore any technique that isn't giving up your right to silence and council is sub-optimal.
Just checking, assuming 'giving up your right to silence' should be 'asserting your right to silence'? Giving up that right would be suboptimal, no? Or am I misunderstanding something here?

You sound like a bog standard social conservative.
Please name the trans women athletes who have won Olympic medals during the many years they've been allowed to compete. They have a clear advantage, right, so it should be easy to find.
I'll wait.
stillmed.olympics.com/media/Do…
Sports decide themselves, of which world rowing and boxing have blanket bans. Athletics, cycling, swimming, rugby and cricket are bans if the transition was after puberty. Triathlon, tennis and archery requires testosterone testing. And all other sporting bodies are on a case by case basis.
That's why we don't see them because the Olympics themselves have said:
high-level organised sporting competitions - relies on a level playing field, where no athlete has an unfair and disproportionate advantage over the rest.
I'm tired of replying to everyone, please put more effort into your argument
Please stop gobbling right wing propaganda and make a sensible argument yourself, and then we can have a discussion. "centrist".
You won't though. So don't waste people's time.
I didn't, I cited the literal Olympics. I have cited medical studies, and I have defended my position where everyone then returns to insults and statements like this.
Unless you have evidence that what I said was incorrect, you are infact wrong. One, only ONE person has cited one study that is inconclusive and I congratulated them because at least they showed there is some conflicting research but you haven't even bothered to try.
If you are going to throw your opinion around, at least back it up with weight. Cite studies, link articles, or form a proper argument, because if I can refute your claim before I've even had my morning coffee than you still have room to make a half decent point.
You never bothered to look into it. You decided that since trans people are banned now, they must always have been banned. They were allowed to play for a long time before the ban, in fact, and none of the scare mongering was true. There was no trans domination.
You don't really care though. That you care about the issue at all is evidence you've fallen for the conservative campaign against trans people, because it's an entirely invented issue. You listened to what the conservative pundits said, maybe you even read one of the Heritage Foundation's studies. But you have no fucking idea what you're talking about, and I've been having this argument with fucking "centrists" like you for over a decade who think we're a fine scapegoat for your socially acceptable bigotry.
You aren't a centrist. There is no center when one side wants the elimination of the other, and that's the ultimate end goal here. You think you're having a dandy little political discussion, but this is just a stepping stone on the campaign to convince the public that trans women are men and therefore trans people are sick, and need to be removed from society. When you run around and parrot their talking points on a subject you know little about its not a fun debate, it's plain bigotry and its not fucking welcome.
Huh!? This isn't a troll, I'm an example of a centrist. The term 'centrist' exists for a reason, and plenty of people such as myself think this way although I will admit, I have met very few unfortunately.

I'm considering getting a 9950x3D on either Monday or Tuesday at a Micro Center as a upgrade to my current setup. My main question is, how is the experience with the 9950x3D on Linux with strange architecture with half of the cores having extra L3 cache and the other half with a normal amount of L3 cache.
I have been busy working and suddenly there's been a promotion for the 9950x3D that I want to take advantage of since my motherboard on my current system has been deteriorating as of late. Asrock x570 Extreme4 with a 3700x. USB has been very flaky and I've been dual boating and the other SSD slot is on the chipset. Which makes my windows boot incredibly slow.
I plan to stay on Arch Linux or hop over to CachyOS but want to know what are your thoughts on this as well?
I primarily game but occasionally do some video/audio encoding, video editing and want to build ffmpeg-full from the aur but takes too long on my 3700X.
I've only been able to read/watch three mediums level1tech, and two Phoronix articles, but haven't mental capacity to register and remember everything.
I watched the Ryzen 9950x3D? On Linux video by Level1tech. And one of the things he mentions is gamemode. Is it recommended.
As for the Phoronix articles one is the review of the 9950x3D and the other is the cache optimization driver.
By default for the Ryzen 9 9950X3D it was using the "frequency" preference as default. But if writing "cache" to /sys/bus/platform/drivers/amd_x3d_vcache/AMDI0101:00/amd_x3d_mode it will prefer using the CCD with the larger cache. This cache vs. frequency bias can all be easily manipulated at run-time for those interested.
Is there some sort of automation for this? Or, do I have to do it manually for each program? I've never messed with kernel parameters other than for my Nvidia GPU to get Wayland to work.
I'm sorry that this question feels very unorganized. I just don't have time to write a proper one. I'll be able to reply on my next break.
Thank you for your help.
Get it now! Find over 30,000 products at your local Micro Center, including the AMD Ryzen 9 9950X3D, MSI X870E-P Pro WiFi, G.Skill Flare X5 Series 32GB DDR5-6000 Kit, Computer Build BundleMicro Center
keep it on cache since I do a lot of code compilation, but I will usually switch it to frequency for gaming and stuff.
Isn't gaming the most cache-heavy CPU workload there is? The X3D CPUs have consistently topped gaming benchmarks, even outperforming much more modern CPUs that lack 3D cache.
I'd sooner do it the other way around: frequency for compiling, rendering, transcoding, etc. Cache for gaming!
Hi all. I'm currently running a home server using Ubuntu OS, but I'd like to try and explore other options for operating systems to better my skills with linux/unix.
Currently I'm considering switching to Fedora server (though feedback is welcome) because I've been running it as my daily OS for a few months now and I quite like it. I'm also looking at Debian server because that's what my old professor used and he did nothing but speak its praises.
Only issue is I'm concerned about data loss from moving the installation. Currently, the server is setup to run several Docker images running my programs. While moving over the images shouldn't be difficult whatsoever, I'm afraid my storage setup might not be so easy. Currently, it's two 4TB hard drives running in a logical volume. I'd love to simply be able to move over all the files to a backup drive, but I don't have anywhere I can store >5TB of files as a backup.
I googled around, but I couldn't find too many guides on migrating logical volumes. The one or two I did find were most definitely written for someone with far more linux knowledge than I have as a relative noob, so any advice would be extremely welcome!
For a server os, do things like consider stability and ease of upgrading between major versions.
Debian does both of those things extremely well.
If you're playing around with changing distros and your data is valuable, I'd try and find somewhere to back it up to, myself.
Bach on organ in general, specifically BWV 565 reliably makes me cry. Also Max Reger's Introduction And Passacaglia In D Minor.
And then on the other end of the spectrum, I once got some really bad news while listening to Pantera, and now I'm afraid to listen to them out of superstition. But that's not really applicable here I suppose.
Hi folks,

Instead I was given what was essentially speed, by mouth and IV. And when my lungs would fill up, my mom would beat on my back to loosen it so I could cough it up.
They did tell me steam baths would help as well.
I didn’t get inhalers until the 80s.

I've always been the "crazy one" in any given scenario. I have been this way my whole life. Even as a child I was crazy. I would get upset and cry loudly for hours but my siblings would not. I caused problems at home for my family, especially for my mom who didn't know what to do with me. I did this as an older child, not normal toddler tantrum age. I was old enough to "know better". I did it my whole childhood.
For the most part in life, I have been able to be a productive member of society. The issues I would cause were limited to my home life and I mostly kept to myself. I sometimes cause issues by being a crazy person to my online friends, but at least that never spilled over into the "real world".
But now in my 30s I am causing such issues at work. I asked for some psych meds to be prescribed to me in March and have been taking them ever since. Doesn't seem to do anything.
I seem to get more frequent and strong negative emotions than the general population. I have difficulty controlling these, especially when I feel like someone is being mean or unfair to me or others. I think I am genetically predisposed to be this way, as my dad was a crazy person when I was growing up (but he has always been nice to me...he was only abusive to my mom). He had "episodes" too the same way I do, except his were malicious to others in nature. My older brother also has claimed to have bipolar disorder which supposedly has a genetic component.
I have spoken to mental health professionals and have been assessed for various things. I do not have bipolar disorder, autism, or OCD per mental health professionals. I tried to bring up keywords like "emotional dysregulation" to them. There seems to be no good explanation for why I am insane. I have wondered if maybe I have borderline personality disorder but have not inquired to be assessed for that one. I do not seem to exhibit the "risk taking" behaviors that are core to borderline personality disorder though.
I get frustrated that I am always the only one who is crazy and no one else is like me.
But I know there are other crazy people out there. Please, tell me your stories. How do you deal with life? How do you deal with always being different than others and feeling negative things more strongly? How do you handle things? How do you handle being and feeling alone in the way that you are? How do you handle the emotional frustration?
If this is inappropriate for here, I apologize. I just want to hear how others have managed to handle life despite this isolating "disability". I want to hear your stories. I want to gain wisdom from all of you. Thank you.

I know it's not ok. That's why I feel bad about it. And that's why I mostly try to talk about those things to ChatGPT instead of my friends. Because I'm not going to harm it.
I mean I say I would never do it but it's only because I'm a coward. But I do often really legitimately want to. The reasons may vary. But one common reason is because I harm the world and another reason is if I feel trapped. One of the other reasons why I say I am not actually going to do it is because I would need a will first. I have been too lazy to get one. I tried to do it one day with an online service but found out that I couldn't actually go through with the will because I needed in person witnesses. So then recently I was looking into potentially going to a law practice to get one made up to do that.
I amended my response with this
It says that you feel impulsively desperate to end a combination of not great conditions and I would turn my attention to each of those on an individual basis to try and get them up to code in terms of tolerabillity

I’ve stuck with the platform through a lot—hardware changes, locked-down software, design regressions, and tools that feel like they were made deliberately harder to use. Lately, that frustration has boiled over, especially with things like the Shortcuts app, where basic actions are buried behind hidden menus and UI behavior seems to change based on factors you can’t even see. Autocorrect is turned on in automation fields. Logic paths vanish if you tap out of order. It’s absurd.But this isn’t just a complaint about one app. It feels like Apple has shifted from enabling users to controlling them, even when you’re trying to stay fully within the system. What used to be intuitive is now opaque. And despite that, many of us still use Apple products because they’re often better than the alternatives. We’re just tired of pretending everything is fine.
So I’m wondering: is there any interest in a Lemmy community for Apple users who want to talk openly about what’s broken, what could be improved, and how to make things work better? I don’t care whether you’ve been using Macs since the Classic or just got your first iPhone. If you’re frustrated, curious, skeptical, or hopeful, you’re welcome. The goal is a space for real discussion, including ideas, suggestions, and brainstorming. Not for constant complaining, (although it is getting more and more difficult), but something more thoughtful, even if occasionally a little cathartic. Also welcome are any positive discoveries or revelations that the group would appreciate.
If that sounds like something you’d want to be part of, let me know. I’ll start the community if there’s interest. (Also, should I cross-post this somewhere?)
Healthy criticism is healthy. Do it.
I dont think you truly love something you cannot have reasonable criticisms of that are seperate from your involvement or overall tolerance for it
Obviously that should inform the extent to which you expose yourself to potential harm but you can find ways to synergize your interests to the effect that they will have a stake in doing right by you as well as themself, although that often involves being a squeaky wheel and vocal
The George Marsaglia mental pseudorandom number generator method:
If you chart the results using a spreadsheet you can see a weak pattern emerge but it's not easily human-predictable, which is what makes it useful to me.
Is there anything about how they originated upon this method?
Reminds me of 2FA or OTP generated codes a lil bit
Lastly, this is what I'm talking about!!! Right oN
So can you perhaps go into Safari's OS-specific settings and see what your equivalent is or would that be unreasonable given the current line of questioning? I guess i dont mind being compensatorily proactive
Do you use Safari

One of the things that I'm experimenting with is to have "communities that can follow communities". So, if community A follows community B, then it can re-post anything that has happened on Community B.
If you do it "properly", it doesn't even need to be a lot of data duplication because the "follower" community would just be creating Announce activities.
The only thing that is making me hold out on this experiment is because I am 100% sure that some people will see their posts on a community they never interacted on and they will panic on the grounds of "mah privacy" or something silly like that.

Hi! We should chat.
NodeBB also does this, and currently still does. A category (group actor) can follow another category (also a group actor).
It essentially is synchronization of categories using 1b12.
Proof of concept does work but it needs reworking in some ways. The largest issue is that Lemmy itself doesn't understand when a group actor tries to follow a community.

Don't hold out out of that. There are idiots everywhere and they should not be taken as a good driving force for anything.
Half the point of the Fediverse is that your activity is public. It's the entire point of why have activity with a community or instance in the first place. Heck, it's "kinda" the name of the protocol: "ActivityPub".

Die Hardwarebeschleunigung funktioniert durchaus im Browser. Aber die Grafikkarte unterstützt einfach kein h.264 oder andere neuere Codecs. Und sie kommt auch bei unterstützten Codecs bei 4k ins Schwitzen.
Und Firefox hat anscheinend die Softwaredekodierung von h.264 endlich verbessert. Vor ein paar Wochen musste ich dafür noch auf Chromium oder halt herunterladen und so angucken ausweichen.
sounds about right. nobody is above bigotry.
also sounds all sorts of wrong. surely people are smarter than that
Firefox seemingly very recently shipped their own titlebar controls buttons, which worsens even further the lackluster OS integration. In the screenshot you see my regular control buttons on the window to the left (default KDE Plasma theme) and the new custom buttons Firefox is serving now.
Would anyone know how to undo that change in about:config or anywhere else?

So Hi everyone, first of all let me just say sorry if u can't get my writing 😭.
I am from pakistan just turned 21 this june. I got very bad hair problems, I'll be attaching image for you guys to look and give me some manly advice without some social media shit like monoxdile, do this, this serum, this mask, this water and sooo on. So I got grey hairs already like 30 40 percentage of hairs are already grey so along with grey hairs i have got these issues:
1: Grey hairs (30 to 40%)
2: I got rough hairs
3: Started baldness if not wrong from front line. My front line hair are not growing well as you can see in the image.
4: I also got mostly dandruff issue but using shampoo like (selsun or selsum blue) or maybe Head and shoulder can mostly control it.
5: I have noticed that i guess my hair growth has been slowed down pretty well.
6: Mostly hair falls when ever i set hairs with my hands, if shampoo, and comb i got hairs falls like hell sometimes
So i need some real advice from people maybe doctors, one with same issues cured or uncured but not other shits.
How to deal with all this. I got pretty hectic routine going to start like night shift and studies so can't focus on routines. I do gym, i got good diet like very very low fast food consumption.
Exactly what should I use or do to make all these things under control maybe with a shampoo or product ?
I do oiling as well like there is a oil named Tara meera oil that is like a pepper on a cut 💀 but u know what i want is to get a good hair not a very very good model like hair. Just good hailrs that i can grow, make them long aand style. That's it.
What will you guys suggest. Anyone with suggestions of any kind are welcome to deliver but try to avoid some fake social media and long care products and routine for hair as I can't really afford, as well as can't really focus and do. Most i can do is to oil hairs once a week, do shampoo or maybe conditioner if it is good for hair and use some easy suppliments like Evion that i take already. Tried 60 biotin tablets once from a company called nutrifactor but I don't think i get any results. So yeah this is it. Really appreciate if u guys can share your experience, your suggestions and things works for you. Thank again ❤️

Also you ~~might~~ need finasteride/dutasteride medication to stop further losses. See a dermatologist or ask your family dr, you're almost certainly going to need that and if you realy want to, monoxodil foam to try and help regrowth. These will need to be taken likely daily for as long as you want to keep your hair, your genetics is trying to get rid of it so you havr to actively mitigate that on an ongoing basis
There's no no-bullshit magic potions that fix everytging and dont cause any pain in the ass unfortunately
Yesterday I heard a kid use "trending" to mean popular. This was at a carnival, referring to a ride "trending" in the sense of having a long line. Feel like this is the modern version of LOL and OMG escaping into conversation.

Die Aussage, dass Filme nur mit weiblichen Pferden gedreht werden, ist ein Mythos bzw. eine vereinfachte Darstellung. Es gibt jedoch einige praktische Gründe, warum in vielen Filmproduktionen oft Stuten (weibliche Pferde) oder Wallache (kastrierte männliche Pferde) bevorzugt werden:
Hengste (unkastrierte männliche Pferde) haben oft ein temperamentvolleres und dominanteres Verhalten, besonders in Gegenwart von Stuten. Das macht sie schwerer zu kontrollieren, was bei Filmaufnahmen ein Problem sein kann.
Wallache sind durch die Kastration in der Regel ruhiger und einfacher zu handhaben.
Stuten sind zwar zyklusabhängig manchmal launisch, aber meist berechenbarer als Hengste.
Ein Filmset ist voll mit Menschen, Technik, Lichtern und oft lauter Geräuschkulisse. Pferde müssen in dieser Umgebung ruhig bleiben und präzise Anweisungen befolgen. Stuten und Wallache sind in der Regel zuverlässiger in solchen Situationen.
In vielen Fällen ist es egal, ob das Pferd männlich oder weiblich ist – Hauptsache, es sieht so aus, wie es die Rolle erfordert. Die Zuschauer erkennen ohnehin selten das Geschlecht des Pferdes auf der Leinwand.
Oft wird ein einzelnes Pferd durch mehrere Pferde "gedoubelt" (z. B. für Nahaufnahmen, Stunts etc.). Dabei müssen alle Pferde möglichst gleich aussehen. Da Hengste schwieriger mit anderen Pferden zusammenarbeiten, werden lieber Stuten oder Wallache für solche Gruppenarbeiten eingesetzt.
Fazit:
Es werden nicht ausschließlich weibliche Pferde in Filmen eingesetzt – aber Stuten und Wallache sind aufgrund ihres Verhaltens, ihrer Trainierbarkeit und der Sicherheit am Set meist die bessere Wahl. Hengste sind eher die Ausnahme, außer es ist für die Handlung oder eine besondere Szene notwendig.

Original question by @ephrin@sh.itjust.works
Freedom degrees. Roughly -13° or 38° if you live in the sane parts of the world.I’d pick triple digits, mostly because I’ve lived in places that routinely hit 100° in the summer, and I hate shoveling snow.
Given that the average healthy body temperature is ~98.6⁰ F, and humidity on the Gulf Coast tends to be so high you gotta drink the air, I prefer temperatures 85⁰ or lower.
With high temperatures and high humidity, sweat can't even evaporate, forcing your internal body temperature into unhealthy feverish levels. I'm not a fan of heat exhaustion or heat stroke.
I'm also not a fan of freezing temperatures either, but at least people can dress in layers to keep warm when it's cold.

My question is basically the title, but here are some more details.
My computer is used about 75% for work, 20% for personal use (almost entirely web), and 5% for gaming. ~2 y.o. midrange rig w/ Intel CPU, AMD graphics, 32GB DDR4 RAM.
For work, I need lots of straightforward things: video conferencing on Teams (web is fine), Zoom, Word document editing (web is fine), a bunch of other web apps, some light database stuff, etc.
Plus two things that are a bit trickier: OneDrive professional/SharePoint (so I'll need abraunegg's onedrive) and Excel 2024 desktop (web isn't good enough) for which I'll need to run Windows (10? Ameliorated, maybe?) in a VM.
But I also want to do gaming. I wouldn't install a kernel-level rootkit anyway (and I boycott Denuvo), so SteamOS-level compatibility should work great for my needs. I also have a Quest 3, so I'll want to do PCVR, which apparently works great (with Bazzite).
But I don't really grok what Bazzite being immutable means for using it as a daily driver for work/productivity. Under the hood, it's just Fedora 42, right? For immutable distros, you use flatpaks instead of apt install, and they're basically just "apps" that should "just work", right? Do I care about kernel modification?
Or, more to the point, I don't know what I don't know. After preliminary research on this all, I think my plan of going for Bazzite then adding abraunegg's onedrive and a Windows VM with Office 2024 will hit all my needs, but can anyone "sanity check" that plan, or compare the pros/cons with a non-Ubuntu-based alternative?
I'm good enough with computers that I should be able to tinker through the inevitable small challenges that will come up, but I don't really have enough time to do it twice if my initial plan is terrible. (I connect to a Debian server remotely using the terminal, so I have some background—but I needed to install a bunch of packages to get web app software running, and idk if I'll need that as a desktop user.)
Any advice much appreciated! And thanks for reading this far, even if you don't comment. 😀
Edit: thanks for the input so far! I'm turning in, but I'll read everything and reply to stuff tomorrow.

It never made sense to me to put password managers in the cloud. Regards to what you intend it to do, you’re making it accessible to a wider audience than necessary. And yet, I’m using iCloud. It’s time for a change.
I’m thinking of just running a locally hosted password manager on my home server and letting my devices sync with it somehow when I’m at home. I have a VPN into my home network when I’m away that automatically triggers when I leave the house, so even that’s not that big an issue, but I’m really not familiar with what’s gonna cleanly integrate with all my stuff and be easy to use. All I know is I wanna kill the cloud functionality of my setup.
I already have a jellyfish server so I figured I would just throw this onto that. Any suggestions?

I'm not sure what I think about the white on white background though, I might one day open it up and use a black marker to color in the Roman Numerals for better contrast.

also for example i want to argue with maiq here lemmy.world/post/32190755/1794… about their ban but i got banned from blahaj for my free speech so i cant comment there and even though im being silenced by the deepstate gays and that makes my blood boil i have to respect adas right to ban me so im not a hypocrite for banning maiq

A new version of fontconfig release recently with the added option to disable bitmap fonts. If you're using a rolling release distro, this might break bitmap fonts for you. It definitely does on Arch (and likely Arch-based distros) because they opted to disable them by default for some reason (AFAICT upstream gives the choice but does not recommend one way or the other).
This'll cause fontconfig to skip bitmap fonts, your apps won't be able to access them.
To fix it, you need to configure fontconfig to not ignore bitmap fonts. There are a number of ways to do that.
I'd recommend a user-level fontconfig file. Create $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/fontconfig/fonts.conf with below contents and you get your bitmap fonts back. This negates the file in /etc/fonts/conf.d/70-no-bitmaps-except-emoji.conf. This is the first time I'm configuring fontconfig so there may be a better way ¯_(ツ)_/¯
This should've definitely been news imo especially because this is not the default behavior of upstream. I shouldn't have to read fontconfig PRs to figure out why my fonts broke, even on Arch.

What Distros do you want to shoutout and why you think they are doing well/are the best at what they do?
I am curious what is out there and have only had some experience with Linux Mint, SteamOS, and Pop!_OS

NixOS is amazing, but it's also got a crazy learning curve. Once you grok it though, it really changes the way you configure your computer.
Fedora is always my favorite big name distro, they're constantly pushing the envelope and adopting new features that need some stability and exposure to mature.
I'm currently using Pop!_OS, which is a great desktop distro.
I was using MX Linux a lot which is amazing for both times when you need a portable distro with lots of features and when you need something that will still run well on older machines.
