“Woke”. They say woke to somehow try to make inclusion sound like a bad thing.

Having no knowledge of the situation: If a meme has a risk of being interpreted romantically, you might be in too deep already.

I don’t understand the basis of the 24Hz limit rumor. My monitors are 144Hz, and if I limit them to 60Hz and move my mouse around I see fewer residual mouse cursors “after-images” than I do at 144Hz. That’s a simplified test that shows that the eye can perceive motion artifacts beyond 60Hz.

The eye can perceive LEDs that are rectified at 60Hz AC, it’s very annoying.

I won’t accept my pasta at anything lower than 120Hz.

And c/keming if it exists because damn that’s a painful font to look at.

That’s no bird, that’s a blimp.

“gender” is a mental disorder

Wat.

Definitely not a step up. I don’t think…

Sounds like somebody woke up on the wrong side of Uranus today.

Fun fact: the nose has the same erectile tissue as the penis for the mechanism of closing and opening each nostril.

Oooh. Thanks for that, makes more sense now.

DVI had an analog variant as well. I’m obligated to say this because that cable compatibility confused the shit out of me at least once.

You had to check for pins above and below the wide “dash” shaped pin to know if it supported analog.

Did he? I missed all this news. Googling now I only see that Simmons said he didn’t give permission and didn’t want to be involved when they tried, but didn’t see him try to shut it down.

I’m curious to hear if he really wanted it stopped. It’s tough to understand his tone in his quote, but it feels slimy that they released the short anyway.

No, I’m more concerned with how the entire world will be impacted by electing Trump again. What’s happening in Gaza will continue to happen whether we elect Biden or Trump.

Trump on Gaza:

“You’ve got to finish the problem,” Trump said on Fox News on Tuesday when asked about the war. “You had a horrible invasion that took place that would have never happened if I was president.”

He said on Oct. 11 that a future Trump administration would “fully support Israel defeating, dismantling, and permanently destroying the terrorist group Hamas,”

That month, his campaign also said that, if elected again, he would bar Gaza residents from entering the U.S. as part of an expanded travel ban.

Suggesting that the Gaza situation is a dealbreaker for Biden is trying to hold him to a higher standard than anyone holds Trump, and that higher standard by itself tells you who the better candidate is.

There probably isn’t a single politician that I fully agree with.

There are different levels of disagreement and what I’m pointing out is people trying to use Gaza as a way to fully discredit Biden as a candidate because they have no other scandals to use against him.

The Gaza example was already whataboutism. I only bring up the Trump example to emphasize that we already have historical evidence that he won’t handle Ukraine or Gaza any better than Biden has. He only uses those situations to benefit himself.

I agree that being the lesser of two evils doesn’t absolve Biden’s part in it, but I hope you reconsider supporting him. As frustrating as it is that neither is perfect, it doesn’t help anyone to allow an even worse candidate to win in protest.

It’s not an accident that people suddenly care so much about US foreign policy when it’s convenient to bash Biden before an election. It’s a very concerted propaganda effort on social media that you’re either intentionally or unintentionally a part of.

Before the last election Trump tried to extort Ukraine by withholding military aid unless Ukraine helped investigate his political opponent, Biden.

I don’t agree with what’s happening in Israel/Palestine either, but I’m more concerned at how often it’s being used as this “trump card” to lower Biden to Trump’s level. It’s still not remotely close.

I’m not sure how it’s their fault when Texas’s attorney general sued them specifically for not complying.

Agreed. Lemmy seems to be Linux, Star Trek, politics, and a dash of shitpost.

I can handle all of it except the constant feed of politics. It’s a US election year so that probably accounts for a lot of it.
