Jesus was definitely a libertarian and definitely not a conservative. Oh, except for inside a temple on markets day.

I think this is how you find out you’re God. Or at least _should_have god-like powers.How good are you at sadism and are you a cunt to your son? Do you often find yourself threatening billions of Ife to eternal torture if they don’t accept your love and moral superiority while worshipping you for it?

- Comment on Passkeys Explained: The End of Passwords 5 days ago:
The article is only referring to per device keys and passkeys that lock them on that device. In other words, someone would need to be able to get your device’s key, decrypt it or brute your passkey, spoof or steal your device somehow, and send the key under it’s identity. I’m sorry, but I don’t think the few people that could do that would be wasting their time to do it to little old you. For most people, their insignificance is the best security they have.

It’s also November and only 6 in 10 say this lol.
If this poll were done internationally in like June, you’re prob looking at 8 or 9 out of 10.
- Comment on Why don't cars have a way to contact nearby cars like fictional spaceships do? 2 weeks ago:
Use it all the time (UHF). But only get comms on other off-roaders, all the trucks, or caravamers. It’s very useful. I give out handhelds to friends if we’re travelling together.Honestly, phones are pretty shit in comparison.
I’m glad it’s not popular for other drivers, though. One of the main benefits is most people don’t use it, so the bands don’t get clogged with shit.
- Comment on Pow-- 2 weeks ago:
Nah, I think your brain is just defaulting to social concepts of race which is kind of ironic. It was confusing, but that seems to be the case after all.
But not enjoying the negative traits of my genetic composition and wishing I could substitute them with others is totally fine. If there was a race of humans with wings, you better fucking believe I find that a cool trait to have. They’d be ugly bat-like ones with skin and shit, but the benefits would be too good to pass up. If you want to acknowledge the social concepts of racial inferiority or superiority to the wings, or even subscribe such concepts, that’s all you. But, as you would note in my original comment, these sorts of ideas are silly to me.
And I know what horseshoe theory is. It’s mention makes absolutely no contextual sense, but it is highlighting where some people’s brains disturbingly wander off to. Won’t be dragging me along, though.
- Comment on Video games often have crouch and crawl for stealth but not the much more commonly used tiptoeing 2 weeks ago:
And somehow crawling is silent mode.
- Comment on Pow-- 2 weeks ago:
Depends where I’d geographically end up. Whatever genetic traits benefit that the most and also what I want to do the most.
For starters, I’d be preferring more melanin, but I still like my northern EU frame for swimming. Hmmm…but I would like longer legs for running. Also more east asian hair for convenience.
Having Nordic height is convenient too, but the weight is rough when falling so African lakes region is good for that.
My spawn point is prob somewhere around the Pacific. Sailing and surfing will be my jam, so if I had to select a preset, probably Tongan, but I’d rather.customise.
I dunno, what would you pick?
- Comment on Pow-- 2 weeks ago:
Yeah, like most everything, it’s a social concept.
- Comment on Pow-- 2 weeks ago:
The genetics and geographical aspects defining races are entirely a product of social behaviour favouring traits over others. It has been a very long time since our species contended with natural selection, and instead it’s also with social selection from mindsets entirely like yours.
If your brain’s going to where it went, you’re either simple or so racially conscious, you only think in social racial traits 👍
You can accuse the sun of being racist when the truth is, like all species on the planet, genetics are geographically disposed to benefit their environment. I can confidently say that those of western and central Europe have less genetic fortitude for other environments and situations around the planet. Just as a Clydesdale doesn’t race and a Thoroughbred doesn’t haul load.
Get your head out of the social racist gutter. I’m allowed to be displeased with my genetic traits, especially when I never had a say in the matter.

Is there some beautiful autistic mind keeping infographical track of this stuff? My mere lesser brain only just entertained the idea of how interesting that’d be ro see.
- Comment on Pow-- 2 weeks ago:
I don’t really understand white supremecy from a fundamental level. Like, genetically, we’re pretty crap. If there were racial selection on the character creation screen of life, I wouldn’t have rolled this inferior shit.
- Comment on Nearly 90% of Windows Games now run on Linux, latest data shows — as Windows 10 dies, gaming on Linux is more viable than ever 2 weeks ago:
It’s really easy and quick to install a distro so you can just test them out. Get three you think you’d like, try em out, you’ll probably like all of them, but you get to pick your fav.
There is no “best”, just “best for you”.
If gaming is your focus and you just want to go into Linux without research, I’d start with Ubuntu or Mint for a couple weeks. If you’re liking it, check out some others, but don’t be surprised if you go back to Ubuntu or Mint simply because you found them easy and working just fine. There’s no wrong choice, just lots of good ones. It is all up to how you like it with no anxiety of making a bad choice 😁

It’s true.

Genesis 1:3 And God said, “Let there be light,” and there was light.
- Comment on What if reincarnation is real, but you were probably plankton in your last life, so you don’t remember anything anyway? 3 weeks ago:
Technically it’s true. There’s a high chance bits and pieces of you have been used in other life several times, though you were more likely parts of plants than other creatures.
And when you die, you’ll be reused again. Nature has always been like that.

- Comment on Did it really used to be common for guys to go to a bar every night like in Cheers or The Simpsons? 3 weeks ago:
Yeah. Few times a week I go to mine to chat with all the locals over two or three beers then head home. It’s a nice way to wind down, be out, and socialise at a really low intensity. No organising is needed, just arrive and there’ll be someone there you know.
That was kind of the point of pubs (public house). A place for the community to meet up in any weather and have a good time together whether games, sharing stories, or having a meal. The smaller the town, the friendlier and more tight the patrons are too. Also great places to frequent when travelling, meeting new locals, getting great travel advice, making friends for the few days you’re there.

It’s all situational. A skirt is better than both if you’re not doing anything where a seam is needed. But I’d rather hike or swim in something with trunks.

- Comment on Louvre security vs CVS 3 weeks ago:
There’s a locked liquor cabinet at my local store. It’s at the back with the wines and cheeses.
Trying to find someone to open it for you is such a mission. And because it only boasts lower end spirits, you feel like such an fiend chasing down a store member who can radio the person with the key, who takes five mins to arrive, just for a bottle of low-mid tier whiskey.
There’s $10 sake in there. On the unlocked shelf next to it you could grab a $60 merlot.

Huh, weird.
Okay, I’m definitely trying again.
Some of my older gear is fine, but an example of something that wasn’t working was my TD-27 V2 on a kit. What module is on yours?

Yeah I have tried it, but didn’t have luck unless I was driverless and that meant losing velocity. Maybe I configured wrong, it was kind of confusing but the internet said it was facing the same issues as me. Mainly this was for Roland stuff.
I was going to just get a laptop for Windows to record onto next to instruments and then transfer, but I’d rather just be able to plug into the DAW.
- Comment on More than 1,200 games journalists have left the media in the last two years | VGC 3 weeks ago:
Getting news off Lemmy is a shit-for-brains idea. It’s 70% bias saturated US politics links. I have no.idea how people keep lapping it up, but I hear that’s the culture of Americans being told what to believe and do based on their feeds.
You can block keywords, though, so if anyone posts any interesting news, you may even get to see it.

Yeah, peripherals lol. All my sim stuff is working brilliantly in Linux, however I still have some audio production stuff I need Windows for. Unfortunately, due to the need for minimal hardware latency and all that, Wine and VMs aren’t an option. Also a lack of drivers for some midi devices sucks.
