The “left” government of my country deciding that overt inhumanity towards refugees was not only something they could overlook, but also something that they were going to make part of their formal policy
And then years later, I transitioned. If I hadn’t already have been pushed over the line, that would have done it…
I’m sick of Windows, and especially what it’s become, and the way its trending looks like it will only get worse. I’ll be building a brand new PC this summer and want to choose a Linux Distro instead. In preparation, I’d like to try out a virtual machine with a Linux distribution. I am solidly familiar with Ubuntu, but I...
Then you have Australia and New Zealand where you’re forced to wait and there’s no guarantee the government will cover the medical costs of transitioning.
To clarify, in Australia, you’re forced to wait for surgery, and the government won’t cover it. But HRT is more accessible, and covered under our public healthcare system, so once you’ve got your prescription, it’s cheap to access.
So, I see some comment, post view from my instance is missing comparing to view from that original instance. Which prevent me to interact (like, comment)...
If you’re not on lemmy world, but the poster/community that you’re looking at is on lemmy.world, that could be your answer. Due to the way lemmy currently processes federated content, lemmy.world is big enough that many other instances aren’t able to process lemmy.world messages as fast as it produces them, meaning that the smaller instances fall ever further behind lemmy.world
I am running multiple screens from different brands. Because they are not the same, they must be set to different brightness values to look the same....
I know there’s been a few posts about this before, but it’s been a month since the last one and it’s still ongoing. It doesn’t seem that any of the LW admins responded to Zag’s post on their help community, and the last response from lodion/Nath I’m aware of was from 4 months ago when there were outright federation...

Basically, jobs are processed in a serial fashion, and each job involves several steps of back and forth communication between the two instances to complete. Add in around the globe latency, and new jobs arrive faster than old jobs can be cleared out of the queue.

“Around the World” by Daft Punk. The strangest thing is though, I don’t use traditional playlists, but layered random smart play lists. I generate a list of 300 songs, by combining my 2, 3, 4 and 5 star playlists to give me a random selection of songs, but with my preferred ratio of 2:3:4:5 star rated music.
So the over representation of this song is just how statistics work and means nothing. If it wasn’t that song, it would be some other song that has been played more than the others.

I’m growing more and more impressed with its capabilities the more I use it! Wrapping my head around its approach to masking, and its “scene referred pipeline” took some time, but now that I’m getting the hang of it, I think I can say I genuinely prefer it to Lightroom....
I moved from Windows to Linux, and I just couldn’t get Lightroom working on Linux. If I could have, I’d probably still be paying Adobe money, but instead, I was forced out of my comfort zone, and I’m thankful for it!
I just got an OM1-MkII, which has a “pro shooting mode” that basically dumps the last 2 seconds to the card when you press the button. Useful for sports and animals. But it makes culling a whole job!
So far, I’ve been using digiKam for that, and it is working, but I definitely don’t have that workflow optimised yet…
So, when I first saw this headline, my process went like this
“Stuttering? I’ve got stuttering when I’m under Wayland. Is this link about nvidia stuff, which I’m already across or some other thing?”
“Hmm, no more context in the headline. Oh, and it’s a video link, so I can’t even click on the link to get a quick summary to know if it’s relevant to me. I don’t want to watch the video if it’s not relevant to me”
And that was the end of it. I never bothered to click on it.

What kind of jelly do you use for your peanut butter and jelly sandwiches?
I’m going to make the acceptable answers broad so jam, preserves, etc are all acceptable. I’m a fig jam or apple butter man myself.
