I've once read somewhere that the human brain is only REALLY able to include about 100 people at any time in the list of "people one truly cares about", that we are neurologically unprepared for the level of exposure to other people and their problems that we get nowadays.

But I never bothered checking the veracity of that statement. It might be complete bullshit. A lot of stuff online is. Either way it's irrelevant because if it IS indeed a problem, then "overexposure to someone else's problems" is a concept at least as old as the printing press. What the internet adds to the mix is... Well...

.... It's far easier to act like a psychotic jerk to someone that exists as a few paragraphs of glowy text on a slab of silicon and glass. You aren't forced to look another human being in the eye while you talk about all the horrid shit you wish upon them.

Fun fact: When the first thumbstick was being invented, the engineers nicknamed it "oppai controra"

Right. Gonna do that with the humidifier

That I need

To make my room bearable during drought season

Or the split AC.

That I also need

To make my room bearable during summer.

Can you see how that would be a problem?

People who make electric devices are putting blinding blue LEDs in a million places they do not and will never belong.

At least game cutscenes tend to be less mumbly. Even IF the volume of things is all over the place.

TV and Movies? Fuck me, it's like actors all forgot how to talk and instead just mumble every line.

Same, all my electronics look like abominations of electric tape, it's the only way I can have them not light up my room at night.

Packaging for supermarket products should have what the product is big and the branding small. Not the other way around.

Oh. Sound mixing on movies/tv shows should be such that voice lines are always perfectly audible even on shitty speakers. Make actors e n u n c i a t e like they did in the 30s. Christopher Nolan has a lot to answer for, turning all of media into mumblecore chief among those things.

I just like getting my dumb blorbos without having to have a spreadsheet of where to find them scattered over 20 different services

Translation:

Riot Police watches as a patriot (read: fascist) gets into a brawl with Spider-Man, while a dildo flies by, and Mano Brown (famous rapper) films it all.

Just an insane event from the annals of my country's history.

 
 

Youtube Channel SaveAFox, previously a channel about like, a fox sanctuary that showed cute footage of the foxes to get more donors, got hacked today.

It is now full of videos claiming to be from SpaceX and Elon Musk's ugly mug.

Thing is

It's not the first channel I've seen being hacked, nor is it the first to get that exact type of content spammed into it. Linus Tech Tips got hacked some time back (honestly I don't remember how long ago, but I was already on Lemmy, so it was within the past year and change) and it had that exact type of stuff before LMG took it back.

And there was another random channel that I saw suffer the same fate some months before LTT.

My question is -- Why Elon Musk? Why SpaceX/Tesla? Is Musk himself paying people to build zombie farms for him? I wouldn't put it past him but at the same time he has the funds to not need that kind of tactic -- He could astroturf by more "legit-looking" means.

Is it just because people who like Musk are more likely to fall for scams?

Idk, found myself wondering that.

GBoard replacement? (pawb.social)

Title.

I'm not sure I'm ready to go all "lineageOS full degoogle" on my phone because some rather necessary day-to-day apps for me will freak out if I have root, let alone a modified OS. Buuuut GBoard has gotten right in my tit, and now they're offering nightmarish AI generated emoji and I'm like "NO". So.

I don't really care about predictive text or swipe-typing or any of that stuff, I mostly just type normally.

The only nice-to-haves that might entice me would be support for one-handed mode and a configurable keyboard layout.

 

Title.

Pokémon's too easy to be fun anymore, but Nuzlockes don't work for me for a number of reasons. So I figured I'd play one of those romhacks that redesigns trainer teams -- That way I could play the game normally but also would have to use my brain.

Any base game will do, although I'm not too fond of Gen4 because of how slow Gen4 pokémon games tend to be (gen5 is the prettiest, ofc)

Title. Tried to search, found instructions on how to do it in debian-adjacent distros, but I'm in openSUSE, which doesn't use dpkg.

I also checked the manpage for zypper and found nothing that seemed the part, though I don't exclude the possibility that I just failed to read it properly.

 
 
 

Went away from my computer for a bathroom break. When I came back I noticed it took a very long time to wake up. But that was the least of my worries, as Plasma seems to now be really bugged out:

Two things: Window decorations (like the ones at the top with the buttons to close and such) do not render properly. That's the simple part

The other, weirder one, is harder to explain in text so I made a video -- The short version is that whenever I mouse over any icon in a panel, be it a tray icon or something on the taskbar thingie -- it seems to jump to the top-right corner of that panel. Though only visually (as in, to interact with it, I still have to click the blank space the icon once occupied)

I have also noticed that icons within qt6 windows do not show in the proper place

These persisted after reboots.

Other info:

  • Linux/KDE Plasma: OpenSUSE Tumbleweed 20240531
  • KDE Plasma Version: 6.0.5
  • KDE Frameworks Version: 6.2.0
  • Qt Version: 6.7.1
  • Kernel: 6.9.3-1-default (64-bit)
  • Graphics platform: X11

Extra details about system (idk maybe it helps?):

  1. I have an AMD Processor and GPU
  2. All the things I have installed are either from the official SUSE Repos or from Flatpak. There's also some appimages and local executables in my user folder. There is 1(one) application I compiled from source and installed system-wide, and that was Orbiton, a text editor for terminal.
  3. When I update the system I get a notification about how updating glibc-32bit would break Steam. So I marked it as untouchable on YaST. Maybe this broke something else? Idk.

Things I have already tried:

  1. Updating the system
  2. Rebooting
  3. Changing theming configurations back to system defaults (hey, you never know)
  4. Moving widgets around in panels
  5. Disabling fancy effects
  6. Disabling and re-enabling my second monitor/changing which monitor is the primary
  7. Asking nicely

Things I have not tried:

  1. Switching to Wayland (I would do so permanently but it breaks Inkscape for me and that's part of my workflow -- Plus I'm new to SUSE, and the last time I switched from X to Wayland was on EndeavourOS, dunno if the process is any different)
  2. Crying

I have also posted this to the kde bug tracker. Posting it here to in hopes of getting an answer sooner :P

EDIT: I gave it some time to see if it would stick and it did. So. "Going into the Plasma Renderer settings and switching it to OpenGL" was the solution to my issue, even if I have no idea what caused it, I at least seem to have fixed it
