I think it’s a reference to r/fffffffuuuuuuuuuuuu a very old, established subreddit for rage comics memes. Then when the trans meme subreddit became a thing, they copied the style of the name. Then they brought the same name over to Lemmy.

There are other subreddits with the same style name, like r/iiiiiiitttttttttttt for IT related memes.

I could be wrong, I wasn’t there for the formation of the /r/traa subreddit, but that’s my speculation.

I sometimes wonder why anything is wrapped in plastic at all. So many products are wrapped in plastic for seemingly no other reason than to indicate that it’s unopened.

I think that: sudo apt purge xfce4* sudo apt autoremove

should do it.

I’ll point out that the other answers here are also correct. It depends on how you want to clean it from your system.

“apt remove” will only remove the packages, not the config files
“apt purge” will remove the packages and config files
“apt autoremove” will clean up the orphaned dependencies
“xfce4” will only remove the DE
“xfce4*” will remove the DE and most of the other packages that come with xfce

There are three separate things going on.

1. Gamers Nexus made a video exposing LTT for their lack of quality control in their videos regarding providing accurate information after a video where an LTT employee said that they did things better than Gamers Nexus.

2. Gamers Nexus also brought to light a situation where Billet Labs loaned LTT their prototype liquid cooling block. LTT proceeded to publish a video where they tested it on hardware that it was explicitly not designed for and then proceeded to give it a bad review. In the video, it was clear that LTT knew it was the wrong hardware but Linus specifically said to not waste time on doing it right. After that, they failed to return the prototype and instead they sold it at auction during LTX.

3. Ex-employee Madison made some pretty serious accusations of sexual harassment and a culture of not taking issues like that seriously. There have been a few “insider sources” that have confirmed her story, though I don’t think we know who they are yet. Nobody has mentioned who the harassment came from yet.

I’m so glad I got out of Arizona before I discovered my trans identity. I worry for my friends who still remain there.

You might have trouble getting free unrestricted library cards if you don’t live in the area that the library serves. They are usually paid for with taxes and aren’t there to serve people outside their community.

If you’re willing to pay for it, I know that the Ottawa Public Library in Canada offers membership for $90/year to people living outside Ottawa. You may find something similar at other libraries.

The Libraries and Archives of Canada will issue a card too, but you have to visit the archives in person and have a reason you are using the archives and not another library.

Reverse immigration? Isn’t that just emigration?

Take a look at the 2020 presidential election map and compare it to this one. There’s very little difference.

They look similar but a VGA port has 15 pins and a serial port has only 9. Serial ports like this one were really common before USB was used. You would plug peripherals into it kind of the same way you use a USB port. Mice were probably the most common use, but you could plug a lot of different things into them.

I had a similar thing happen, except that instead of a cop, they hit a patch of ice, slid sideways into a light pole completely fucking up the side of their expensive looking SUV, and then they drove off as if nothing happened.

No, the room is gay, not necessarily the people inside of it.

If you’re in North America, which I assume you are based on the 120v wires, then your assumption about 240v power is a bit off. Both wires can be a hot (120v) wire, 180° out of phase from each other, so they add to 240v. In this case, a neutral wire isn’t necessary to carry the current back, the other hot wire does that. A neutral wire may be used, but then there would be 4 wires.

The ground wire and the neutral wire actually connect to each other in the panel, but it’s not safe to use a ground wire in place of a neutral, so definitely don’t wire it to the neutral on the outlet.

If you are unsure of what’s going on with this set of wires, you should really call an electrician to help. Wiring a standard 120v outlet is something a homeowner can do, but identifying an old 240v cable on a dubious circuit is definitely something a qualified electrician should do.

Traditional LCD screens actually use more power to make black.

OLED screens might save a tiny bit of power though.

Since you went with 10/2 for a 240v outlet that means your cable will have two hots and a single ground. But the cable you bought will have a black, white and bare/green wire. Make sure that you wrap both ends of the white conductor with red electrical tape to indicate that it is also a hot wire. White normally indicates a neutral, but since you won’t have a neutral wire in this cable, it’s important to mark it. Otherwise someone else may work on this outlet in the future, see a white wire, assume it’s a neutral, wire something up with it as a neutral, and give themselves a pretty bad shock.

Since that's going to depend a lot on your own personal Steam library, you can check what works well on Proton with this site. https://www.protondb.com/

You can even enter your Steam Profile link in there and it will show you the ratings of the games you own. Of the 155 I own, 86% had a gold, platinum or native rating.

I don’t know where you can get them from central Europe, but Gaff and Go is a British company that makes really nice gaffs. Their “magic gaff” line works well for me. I get them shipped to me in Canada.

Old Sega consoles like that probably need their electrolytic capacitors replaced. I’d say like 80% of non-working Sega consoles I’ve had just needed the caps replaced.

Not every package that comes with xfce has a name that starts with xfce4, just most of them do. You may need to identify and remove other packages too.

Exercise would still increase your respiration rate. So you would be incentivized to get more steps either way.

Make sure you’re buying 14/2 or 12/2 that has a ground wire and running that back to the breaker box. I saw the job you did with the big cable in the floor and it didn’t look like you ran a new cable that had a ground wire. It’s best to replace the old shoddy stuff with circuits that are up to code, even if you’re doing it DIY and your area doesn’t require homeowners to get it inspected. The codes are designed to prevent fires and loss of life.

You can mark it either red or black, but you already have one black wire, so it would be best to mark it red, just to differentiate it.

I think she was trying to play it off like McConnell was just hard of hearing and the reporter wasn’t being loud enough and that’s why McConnell wasn’t answering. It wasn’t a good bluff though seeing as McConnell hadn’t said anything intelligible in like 20 seconds.

Yeah. You just install them with Steam and play. The Steam client comes with Proton which runs Windows games on Linux.

For the games that require tweaks, someone on ProtonDB will have said what tweaks is needed to play it. It’s generally just adding one small command to the game properties in Steam.

I had very few that actually failed to run, most of the rest is silver with a few bronze.

Native means the game was built to run on Linux without Proton.
Platinum works perfectly with no tweaks.
Gold works great, but may require some tweaks to work best.
Silver runs with minor issues but is playable.
Bronze runs but may crash or have issues preventing comfortable play.
Borked is unplayable.

I drew the line between silver and gold. If I moved it down one spot to between bronze and silver, almost everything I own would run. I think this is fantastic. This is literally running games that weren’t designed to run on Linux at all, and almost all of them run perfectly.

Would I call those examples transphobic? For the questions about the labels used, I wouldn’t use the term “transphobic,” but rather misinformed.

For the question about the definition of a woman, yes it is transphobic. And yes there is a problem with it. It may be unintentional, and it may be misguided, but it’s still an example of an outward aversion to trans people. It is also something that continues to harm the trans community.

Now, I wouldn’t hold it against them at all if they listened to trans individuals and corrected themselves for the future. Just because you have problematic viewpoints, doesn’t make you a bad person. Open-minded people who can learn from their mistakes are what the world needs right now.

Let me give an example. When I was a kid in the 90s and 00s, we frequently used the terms “gay” and f** as an insult to each other or to say something was bad. That was homophobic even though we didn’t realize it was. It directly hurt the gay community by associating the term with everything bad. It made the actual gay people around us afraid to come out. As I got older, I (and most people I know) learned how harmful using those words in that way were and I corrected myself. I will break that history of homophobia by teaching my kids that kind of language is not OK. I think of that as a good thing.

Learning from our mistakes and teaching others to learn from our mistakes is the single best thing anyone can do. In my personal opinion, that is actually better than being a silent ally.

The model doesn’t really matter. The Japanese ones tend to be a bit easier to get for a good deal.

Sega worked with Microsoft a bit on the Dreamcast and tried to get Microsoft to offer backwards compatibility for the Dreamcast on the Xbox. It kind of makes you wonder if Microsoft copied Sega’s controller.

I use mine for an Action Reply (basically a Game Shark) and it lets me play North American games on my Japanese console.

I’m no fence installer or anything so I don’t know if it’s possible, but instead of replacing the fence, could the chain link part be removed from the posts and flipped over and reinstalled?
