It’s also 60", which is absurdly large to me lol

Ah, my bad. Sorry.

I have one. It’s 4k, which gave me some trouble from an Ubuntu media server, and the refresh rate is ~144, I believe. It cost me something like 300-400 USD.

Try a Spectre t.v. they’re made for digital signage. I got one and hooked it up to a media server.
- Comment on [Kind of weekly thread] Men over 30, how is your week going? 2 months ago:
So far pretty good. I’ve got a white trip today, it’s early in the morning, and I haven’t slept yet. But other than that okay.
- Comment on Noise 3 months ago:
Yeah, I’ve messed around with water sensors before. I just thought it would be neat to measure it via stress on the plant itself.
- Comment on Noise 3 months ago:
It would be really neat if someone made a sensor that could tell you whether your plant needs to be watered.

Clear case of demon possession.

Fucking hell.
- Comment on Please Stop 8 months ago:
That, to me, seems like an ideal use case. My only reservation is that I think it would be bungled in implementation, then pushed without enough testing and validation, then hacked due to the bungled implementation, and then rejected forever because it was hacked once lol

I find the actual technology very interesting. At one point I wanted to create a distributed research journal, and I spent some time trying to develop a trustless, immutable ledger that didn’t have the high overhead that most blockchains have for proof of work. It was extremely cool, but nobody gives a shit unless it has coins lol
I look forward to 20 years from now when it gets resurrected and used for interesting things that don’t involve cryptocurrency.

Even better, save specific search engines with shortcut codes: type ‘w’ + <Space>, start typing to search on Wikipedia.

- Comment on You can remove or disable Windows 11 and 10's AI 'bloat' with new BloatynosyAI 8 months ago:
I used to have a power shell script that a coworker gave me that would uninstall a huge number of services and apps on windows, change a bunch of config settings etc.
I’ve always wished there were a way to roll out a stripped windows release as an open source project without getting sued.

I don’t play games as much as I used to, but I had a lot of fun recently with Carrion - you play an alien hive mind eating scientists and fighting security through an Area 51 style facility.

- Comment on how to find notes, Journals, spellbooks, Grimoires, etc. from those with mental issues 11 months ago:
Get on FetLife and find a local lgbtq-friendly bdsm group. In my experience, the venn diagram of lesbian/bisexuals into bdsm and the occult community in any given area is just a circle. Bring baked goods to the munches and ask about local covens. Once you’ve established yourself as not a creep, it shouldn’t be that hard to put the word out about the grimoires.
I’ve done about half of this, but I’m not into witchcraft.
- Comment on If you had to choose one programming language that you had to use for the rest of your life, what would it be? 11 months ago:
Rust, hands down.
- Comment on [deleted] 1 year ago:
I didn’t say that it was my primary skill, I mentioned it as a factor. If you have some bias against a worker learning how to communicate clearly and present themselves well to stand out in an interview and get a higher paying job, then you’re an idiot.

Honestly, I don’t think it’s just money. It’s a baseline of support that means you never have to worry about your kids eating or having new clothes, coupled with a vast social network. That network is made up of friends, coworkers, people who went to the same school as you, your parents friends and coworkers, your extended family, and just random-ass acquaintances who go to the same fucking gelato place as you.
I’m a good software developer- I interview well, have broad experience, and pick things up quickly. I’ve repeatedly leveraged my contacts from school, their contacts, and even people I’ve dated in the same industry - to get jobs and opportunities that my family couldn’t provide because they’re desperately poor. It’s absurd how many opportunities I’ve gotten that way. I’ve seen equally talented developers grind along in shit jobs because when they look for work they do it by applying to hundreds of openings on indeed or wherever instead of hitting up all they current and past acquaintances and asking if anyone is looking.

What obsession?
- Comment on Microsoft may replace the Start button with the Copilot AI in Windows 12 1 year ago:
Seems like there’s a need for someone to create tools that strip the latest windows release down to a minimal install, convert all of the smart features back into db menus, standardize the locations of options, and give you opt-in features instead of opt-out.

- Comment on Elon Musk gives X employees one year to replace your bank - ‘You won’t need a bank account... it would blow my mind if we don’t have that rolled out by the end of next year.’ 1 year ago:
Oh yeah, neither of us were assuming he was intelligent- just a flailing asshole with a grudge. But you’re probably right.

My girlfriend has a theory that he’s trying to destroy the platform deliberately. I disagreed with her until he renamed it to X lol
- Comment on The New Age of Airships Is Here—And It’s Electric 1 year ago:
I’m entirely on board with this, figuratively but also literally, if given the opportunity. It would be a blast to ride one of these things long distance. As far as cargo goes, I’d like to see a comparison on volume- if it can carry more cargo, it might still out-perform faster cargo planes just for sheer tonnage.

I hope one day we can move past this kind of bullshit. Who gives a shit if she’s doing porn on the side?
