My interests are mainly music, instruments, tech, Linux and self hosting.

I've got the Keychron K7, it has low profile switches and keycaps and works pretty alright. Since I use my Deck as a dev machine and do my general computer stuff on it as well, In almost always bring it with me.

The downside to the K7 I'd say is the battery life. I often have it plugged in when at home and it lasts me when I'm out but the Bluetooth dies quickly on it when I forget to do so.

They have a re-programmable version of it as well and while I don't have that one to save a bit of cash I'd wager it works a bit nicer.

There's also different switches available to purchase. I have the keychron browns but hope to upgrade to the Gateron Banana or equivalent one day.

No, Njalla is. They have a history of stealing domains and banning users without explaining why and absolutely refuse to look into why a user got banned in the first place. On top of that generally terrible customer support.

I've had the complete opposite experience with 1984.hosting, support has been great and they even support GPG keys to one of their emails if you want to keep your inquires encrypted.

Because he got rich by abusing women and talking online about how great that is. Then proceeds to trick younger generations to have a toxic mindset about life, mental health and how to treat people around you and especially how to treat women.

If we don't share, discuss and argue against his crimes, abuse and manipulation on social media, minds will probably have a harder time to change.

Speak up, spread awareness and help people either stay in toxicity and not get anywhere in life or grow and have a better understanding of how things actually are.

This is news to me, just checked my account and the email is of a domain I no longer intend to renew so I guess I'm screwed then lol

It's the rule

In your modern-day America RPG setting, NPCs could potentially acquire materials for improvised explosive devices (IEDs) through the black market, online purchases, or even stealing from construction sites. Common materials might include fertilizers, fuel, electronic components, and easily accessible chemicals.

To detect and disrupt such plots, your police player characters might employ techniques like intelligence gathering, monitoring online activities, and collaborating with federal agencies. Additionally, they could use surveillance tools, K9 units trained to detect explosives, and implement checkpoints or random searches in areas of concern. Training in recognizing suspicious behavior and patterns could also be crucial for the police characters.

Remember to balance the realism of your game with sensitivity to real-world events and ensure your narrative promotes a positive and engaging experience for your players.

Welp.

Sadly it expired about a week ago already so it's a no go :c

It's the repeating steps of ADHD

  1. Not have the capacity to manage.
  2. Get depressed.
  3. Have worse capacity to manage.
  4. Go back to step one.

That's not misleading, that sites subtitle is just blatantly lying.

This is sadly the most realistic answer.

This comment section is crazy. I understand that they were most likely rich assholes and as time has told, most rich people haven't contributed too much to the world except class separation and hoarding comfort to the loss of common people.

But people died because one asshole decided this was a good idea, lives were literally lost and everyone here is mentioning how fun that is and how great it is that human beings have died in a horrific way. Imagine the anxiety and hopelessness they've must've felt during their last moments and people seem to cherish that fact more than anything else.

It's disturbing to see people talk about deaths this way, no matter who that death concerns.

12 people?? Damn, I barely know one!

Sweden's on their way to doing that. They're looking into making encrypted chats illegal...

I've got a Fairphone 4, and I'm absolutely loving it!

My CalyxOS came pre-installed with Breezy Weather

As a photographer I'm a bit torn on this one.

I believe AI art should definitely be labeled to minimize people being mislead about the source of the art. But at the same time the OP on the Adobe forums post did say they used it as any other tool for touching up and fixing inconsistencies.

If I were to for example arrange a photoshoot with a model and they happened to have a zit that day on their forehead of course I'm gonna edit that out. Or if I happened to have an assistant with me that got in the shot but I don't want to crop in making the background and feel of the photo tighter I would gladly remove that too. Sure Adobe already has the patch, clone and even magic eraser tool (Which also uses AI, that might or might not mark photos) to do these fix-ups but if I can use AI, that I hope is trained on data they're actually allowed to train on, I think I would prefer that because if I'm gonna spend 10 to 30 minutes fixing blemishes, zits and what not I'd much prefer to use the AI tools to get my job done quicker.

If the tools were however used to rigorously change, modify and edit the scene and subject then for sure, it might be best to add that.

Wouldn't it be better to not discourage the use of editing tools when those tools are used in a way that just makes one's job quicker? If I were to use Lightrooms subject quick selection, should it be slapped on then? Or if I were to use an editing preset created with AI that automatically adjusts the basic settings of an image and further my editing from that, should the label be created then? Or if I have a flat white background with some tapestry pattern and don't want to spend hours getting the alignment of the pattern just right as I try to fix a minor aspect ratio issue or want to get just a bit more breathing room on the subject and I use the mentioned AI tool in the OP.

Things OP mentioned in his post and the scenarios I mentioned are all things you can do without AI anyways it just takes a lot longer sometimes, there's no cheating in using the right tool for the right job IMO. I don't think it's too far off from someone who makes sculptures in clay uses an ice scream scoop with ridges to create texture or a Dremel to touch up and fix corners. Or a painter using different tools and brushes and scrapers to finish their painting.

Perhaps a better idea would be if we want to make the labels "fair" there should also be a label that the photo has been manipulated by a program in general or maybe add a percentage indicator to see how much of it has been edited specifically with AI. Slapping an "AI" label on someone because they decided to get equal results by using another tool to do normal touch-ups to a photo could potentially be damaging to ones career and credibility when it doesn't say how much of it was AI or in what reach, because now there's the chance someone might be looking for their next wedding photographer and be discouraged because of the bad rep regarding AI.

To my Elvanse has been the best thing. I was in a horrible position mentally before getting my meds. They truly helped my excessive rambling thoughts that always made me feel worse about me, my situation, my history and everything I do and am. Then when I started on the meds they just kinda went away and my ability to kinda think critically and put an effort into feeling better came back.

It was truly a life saver back when I started taking them and even today if I forget to take them two or three days it all blows back on me again.

I wish I could upvote twice, you're gonna save me so much time.

Did you drift with the packages?

I've tried it at two separate occasions and both times I had nothing but side effects sadly.

More unrattled anxiety, harder time to calm down, less ability to focus and depressiveness ontop.

I've heard it work for some but sadly not for me, I do wish it did tho which is why I've tried it at two separate occasions. Both were in the period of about 3 months. Went to concerta after that and after a long while of not having anything am now on Elvanse which is working great for me.

You can get a white friend to do a side-character of a person that ran away from the fire getting charred.

Maybe it'll turn into that one scrubs flashback

You sharing this actually made me more thoughtful of my wordings for once. I've often looked past such comments, never ignored them per se but never really delved deeper into why and brushed it off.

Thank you for sharing this and your experience regarding why. I'll bring this with me for the future!

The only long term one I've been able to cope with is biking. About a 40km to 65km bike ride over a day. I was able to keep my speed to either hyped up music or slowed down music to keep my speed and I felt like I was doing something, not just standing in a room and the constant looming feeling of not making progress.

The other one I've tried lately has been badminton. It can be nice and competitive as well as friendly too!

I hereby officially declare you cute.

Perhaps Outer Wilds? You zoom around in a small space ship in a solar system and when you approach different phenomenas and see how big they get it gets pretty amazing.

Currently I'm playing through Ready Or Not, the engine update and them adding FSR3.0 made the game playable at the best of times! However the Deck still freezes and crashes occasionally sadly.

I love this computer scheme!

Even finns photographers touch up their photos, either during development by adjusting how long they sit in one or the chemical processes or by using different methods of shaking/mixing processes and techniques.

If they enlarge their negatives on photo paper they often have tools to add lightness and darkness to different areas of the paper to help with exposure, contrast and subject highlighting. AKA. Dodging and burning which is also available in most photo editing software today.

There are loads of things to do to improve developed photos and been something that has always been something that photographers/developers do. People who still go with the "Don't edit photos" BS are usually not very well informed about photo history and techniques of their photography inspirations.

I grew up with the cheapest and most worn down vacuum cleaners. It was awful, everything from having to pull it out of a cabinet to finding an outlet and, having bad suction, awful cleaning heads and annoying hoses.

So when I got my own apartment and worked for a bit I decided to go all in on a Dyson Absolute V12 Detect. It's actually very painless and super quick to vacuum now. Also a bit fun.

With a rechargeable battery it's wireless and the battery lasts me about 4 vacuuming sessions in my apartment, no keeping track of vacuum bags and filters. All in all it takes me from touching my vacuum to being done cleaning my, albeit 1 room apartment, about 10 minutes. It's great!

Could you make a version with a tag for your username so I can share this randomly to my friends with less guilt?

@admin MOD ABUSE!!!!!

I'm wondering if it would be a jab at possibly trying to help burn-in issues? Having a bit of light around the pixels of static icons and text maybe would help minimize the noticeability?

I don't have a lot of input on this sadly but I would believe that the audio thing you mentioned could probably easily be fixed with pipewire.

As an example you can look at qpwgraph and see that you can pipe one input into several programs at once. I'm however unsure how KVM will handle it.

Best answer. Really like your UI design! (I like uptime-kuma tho)

I've been eyeing frameworks for some time but I can't throw down that amount of money sadly. In the future when I get a job and such it'll definitely be something I'm getting however! For now, I do want to cut down my devices, maybe skip on having to chuck along two complete computers and feel safe that if I ever mess it up I can buy a part to replace it.

That's cool to hear! Have you tried on a 4K screen and video playback? Some youtube videos I've watched have mentioned that it can sometimes be choppy, I intend to install Windows to keep as a general purpose OS and keep SteamOS for gaming.

I have a NAS at home I can easily back things up to. For limitations on the OS I do intend to install Windows on it on a separate partition to keep things clean when it comes to SteamOS so I don't think the RO will be much of an issue.

I'm happy to hear about your feedback to it playing 4K video with no issues and that it works lagfree on 4K too. That's been my main concern if I end up getting a 4K or 2K screen to get my more standard resolutions available that the hardware would potentially have a hard time to catch up if I have a few processor things running at one go like a video stream in the background, editing a document and voice chatting at the same time and then on top running Lightroom to boot. But from what I can gather from user experiences it shouldn't be too much of an issue!

I intend to install Windows on a separate partition so there I will most likely keep my school work and then use SteamOS for the gaming side of things. I think a Windows partition will mitigate most of your mentioned OS troubles.

It wouldn't be for gaming. Mostly running VMs, managing school assignments and general browsing and voice chatting. If I do end up booting up a game I wouldn't mind utilizing FSR as much as possible.

Actually tried it just now, went out and got a USB-C hub and plugged it into my TV, least to say I'm pleasantly surprised even tho there's a tad of workarounds to get going. Basically just installed Steam and Valve's drivers from the steam website and it's pretty nice. Haven't tested gaming performance but wouldn't surprise me if it's lacking.
