I don’t really care to argue about this, but isn’t this logically flawed? If machines will give a harder fight than trans people have, then does that not mean that they might succeed to gain rights even if trans people fail?

Maybe you’ve never been hungry enough.

If I had to guess the evolutionary mechanism here would be to stop animals from eating too quickly after a period of starvation.

Isn’t the input lag going to be insane if the game runs at, say, 10 fps? This would have to come with some kind of new render pipeline where the simulation can somehow still run at a higher framerate.

I try to be happy about things rather than actively making myself mad about some ultimately completely irrelevant chud clown on the internet.

I never understood why they put the monsters in the Stronghold of Security. They aren’t even good for grinding are they?

Why are you so angry? Maybe go be angry in the angry community rather than the Linux memes community.

At no point did I comment one way or the other on whether or not he is a nazi.

Firebrand leftist challenge (IMPOSSIBLE): don’t go on a tirade about nazis for one full conversation.

This post is proving that when you call someone a nazi half a dozen times in two paragraphs, it has quite the opposite effect than what you seek in people who aren’t as deep in the leftist bubble as you are.

Doesn’t just apply to nazis by the way. Make such an impassioned tirade against pretty much any person or thing hyperfocusing on one specific trait, and most listeners unfamiliar with the matter will be put on guard rather than convinced. “Why is this person so desperately trying to convince me about this? There must be more to this than they’re letting on.” Food for thought maybe.

I broke a display. More specifically, a shoddy Chinese NVR box broke the display’s main scaler chip by sending a voltage spike down the HDMI cable as it was being plugged in. It wasn’t an expensive display nor even mine (it was at the local hackerspace), but I was bummed out because it was one of the few good displays we had over there so I figured I’d see if I can fix it.

My knowledge of electronics isn’t great, though I’ve seen enough Louis Rossmann videos to know the basic principles, so I spent some time troubleshooting it with, and I expect this’ll get some flak given that this is Lemmy, the help of AI. I described the problem and what caused it to the AI, took some measurements off the board with its guidance and even figured out how to measure it with an oscilloscope to confirm the diagnosis. This way I could narrow the problem down to the main scaler chip – by all accounts a pretty common problem with this brand of monitor, though this one hadn’t failed so spectacularly.

I ordered a brand new chip from Aliexpress for a total of 15€. I did also find a full logic board on eBay, but it came to over 30€ with shipping and the photo showed it having red marker on top of the very chip I was looking to replace which made me suspect it could have failed QC or was torn out of a broken monitor, so I didn’t want to risk it.

After a couple of weeks the chip arrived and it was time to try my hand at BGA soldering for the first time ever. I couldn’t find a hot plate so I had to do the whole thing with just the hot air station making it harder than it should have been. I managed to tear off three pads taking the old chip off somehow and had to very carefully fix those with some fine copper wire carefully manipulated with tweezers and a crafts knife under the microscope. Against all odds after I got the new chip soldered in, the display worked perfectly on the first try. The success felt pretty ecstatic.

Every blade of grass on Earth could secretly be harbouring ticks that can give you a crippling illness for life. Some trees hate you so much they’ll give you a nasty rash just for touching them or standing under them when it rains. Your body has a built-in expiry date, planned obsolescence, because the mindless natural process that shaped it doesn’t give a damn about what happens to you after you’ve raised kids (which may take you several attempts because of the special love this world reserves for infants).

Everything nice that humans have we’ve had to fight tooth and nail against the physical realities of the world to get. The planet doesn’t exist in harmony, it exists in a delicate balance of terror as everyone and everything on it struggles to survive and procreate. Upsetting that balance often leads to mutually assured destruction, which is why many people mistake it for harmony, when really it’s just a toxic and violent relationship where all parties involved nonetheless depend on one another. Seeking to transcend this cycle of mindless violence and death is more than logical for any moral being.
