- Comment on Gender dysphoria be like: 10 hours ago:
In the context of Lemmy shitpost none is required.
In the context of the episode the guy in red constantly switched back and forth between being on it with the rebels and giving up them and himself once confronted. Him being so unsure of himself and undecided were sad to see.
To top that feeling and make it a shitpost, I highlighted two sets of boobs that were shown in the same episode in accord and as a satire to what TV back then seen as possible: vulgarly displayed manboobs and sexualized but still covered womanboobs.
And then I highlighted Stanley who had no gender dysphoria, right, but who at this point in his character’s life didn’t even start to process where he trully belongs: in the conformity he was put in and genuinely hates and fails at, or the risky promise of feeling worthy and somehow autonomous even if it’d take his life a second later. He’s mostly driven by sudden impulses and learnt fears in this episode, but occasionally do something right and cheers himself at that.
Lexx (this series\anthology) is not serious at all. And I don’t equate him to anyone experiencing this condition. I found this whole screencap weird and put in some layers of meanings qualifying it as a random shitpost.

It’s weird foot soldiers kept killing each other.
It’s not weird we had ‘frag’ as a verb from the Vietnam war.

I mean, the LLM thing has a proper field for deployment - it can handle the translation of articles that just don’t exist in your language. But it should be a button a person clicks with their consent, not an article they get by default, not a content they get signed by the Wikipedia itself. Nowadays, it’s done by browsers themselves and their extensions.

Don’t be. Although there are millions of corpses behind each WW2 joke, getting it means you are personally aware of that, and it means something. ‘Those who don’t know shit about the past struggles are to reiterate them’ and all that.

I’m still puzzled by the idea of what mess this war was if at times you had someone still not clearly identifiable, but that close you can do a sheboleth check on them, and that at any moment you or the other could be shot dead.
Also, the current conflict of Russia vs Ukraine seems to invent ukrainian ‘паляница’ as a check, but as I had no connection to actual ukrainians and their UAF, I can’t say if that’s not entirely localized to the internet.

Post-WW2 industrial boom + Hollywood + Internet\media presence in US&EU anglosphere due to 300kk+ population.
I think for the persons under 50 this image started to fall apart with 9\11 + Lemon Brothers + the first Trump presidency.
- Comment on Russia's State Duma passes bill to create state messaging app as it considers blocking WhatsApp 2 days ago:
There are, like, a lot of arrows pointing in that direction but not yet connecting. I assume I can draw the missing part myself. But yep, the solid and direct link could’ve made wonders, but I’m pretty pessimistic about getting it until FSB archives get open to the public, probably after this regime’s critical malfunction. That’s not even the first question I’d like to research there if that happens.
I still prefer to keep only work communications and mild content there. Some russian expats reported border guards checked their sub list in TG specifically, so I pumped it up with all Z channels in mute mode, I leave reactions there if that matters anyhow to create myself a SFW persona. As long as it doesn’t matters if it tracks my geoloc, I think it’s better to have it because not having it makes you deviant and easy to point out.
I love Russia and it’s precious president Vladimyr Putin, who shares many qualities with the God-Emperor but one: he’s still alive.
- Comment on Russia's State Duma passes bill to create state messaging app as it considers blocking WhatsApp 2 days ago:
They do love the illusion of safety it produces. Recently it was confirmed TG’s infrastructure is managed by the same guys who do this for FSB. Google iStories for the investigation.
The new messenger would probably be Max, a newly announced app from the russian nephew of Meta, Mail.ru, now called VK after they bought this site from Durov. In last ten years they bought many popular sites, educational platforms, started businesses in many spheres. This helps that it’s managed by the son of a russian top beaurocrat, so I guess it’s on them to take another niche without any competition.

Vermintide 2 (modified L4D2 in Warhammer: Fantasy), since one kind soul on Lemmy said it now works on Linux too. I’ve missed a lot of new content and I don’t even know where to go most of the times like I just started it. I became kinda rusty since I switched systems, but playing on lower difficulties feels fun too. An hour of runs per evening is where I am at. As I don’t have anything tp grind there anymore as I did it all before, I’ve learnt to smile while loosing in some hilarious ways, and some of these failures make me cackling for a long while.

Wait, W H A T?
I think that you can hear, wherever you are, how my heart skipped a couple of beats and then how my PC roared with all it’s fans at a forced redownload of the beloved game.
P.S. Their sound design is always stellar. I already sneaked a couple of VTs pieces into my projects, hehe, and there they fit the new universe perfectly too. With all respects to Mick Gordon, I can’t remember any new Doom tracks like I do ExMx tracks, and like I do the melody of failure in VT2 that was put in one of it’s trailers.
- Comment on Darktide is a banger 3 weeks ago:
You are right from a consumer standpoint and it also perfectly fits the sub we are in, heh.
I think that I’m of another type of gamer, maybe, and I in general learnt to enjoy that more than just good products, especially because of resulting comedy, drama and user content. Ranald’s middle finger, huntsman Kruber brushing the map off with a weapon turned into a minigun, never working host migration after someone ragequits, troll-healing Saltzpyre, accidentially throwing the grimoire for the first time, surprise patrols from the thin air… I don’t think I could’ve played that much time if not for these additional shenanigans and laughs after I stopped to care. And FatShark’s role there, with their overly ambitious early roadmap, hilarious miscommunications and\or absence, seemingly random decisions before they patch it right - that too played a role there and causes user engagement whatever they want it or not. It feels like your local punk gig: raw, honest, and only a drummer they share between all bands really knows how to play shit. Going into Darktide, I don’t have a community anymore 'cause fuck reddit, but dying to numerous bugs, watching all your bad decisions unfold in real time, and seeing teammates mistakingly shooting our Ogrin instead of enemy Ogrins is an on-brand fun of their games, and I’m all for it.

Now I’m hoping for a VT3 bringing the best of both worlds.
Was there any announcement of what’s to wait from FS? I stopped following the subreddit since I ditched reddit.

It’s different in all it’s equipment, awards, leveling system, but the core gameplay stays the same or becomes even better.

Legacy building is mostly for rich and powerful who came out of age, like in the mid to end of their life’s arc. We may dislike it, but even the most despised billionaires are probably planning something not for the community but for their close circle at least, or even their own commemoration, as they feel the death is coming. Be it a continuation of their business empire or an epic tomb like pyramids, there’s some though to that.
Musk has never left his college years, always high af, always in the moment although he is pushing well over 50. He is closong that question to himself by making many children, but I’m convinced he never stopped and reflected on what would be there or with them after he dies. He’s feeling overpowered, nearly immortal, and I feel like his death would be a sudden striking event that’d catch him completely unprepared.

Why take sides if both are shit. Apple with their stupidly controlled walled garden VS Epic thinking they can buy their way into infinite reach everywhere. I’m rather pleased they didn’t agree with each other, because their cooperation seems even worse than them acting as separate entities.

- Comment on End of 10 is a campaign to move people over to Linux with Windows 10 support ending 4 weeks ago:
As you can’t ditch it for alternatives, I suggest:
- KVM, kernel-based VM for better performance. See this vid about setting it up: youtu.be/BgZHbCDFODk Licenses (and cr=cks) should work, judging by the Adobe forums, but you’d have an overhead with Windows running, so you’d greatly win by stripping everything off from it, up to disabling system services or even their Explorer DE (like some gamers did with Win Aero in W7 times, killing it while the game was running).
- Wine (Proton) directly or via Bottles\Lutris\Steam increased it’s emulation capabilities and performance in the previous years. It works for highly demanding games, talks OK with my various discrete v-cards, skips the Win10 overhead, shows CC apps not unlike other programs, but it can cause random bugs, apps not communicating right to each other, and activating it may be not as straightforward. Before starting to rely on that, it’s better to test your exact worklfow, tools you use, etc.
You’d be probably drown in a question of what Linux distro to choose, considering there’s stuff like AV Linux or Pop_OS being recomended for media design. But you’d easily hop from one to another as you go, so it’s better to install something as simple as Mint first, and try Adobe workarounds there before moving next.
If you have specific hardware, I’d say that Wacom-like graphic tablets work like they should (tried several pieces, adapted some touchscreen devices, nearly out-of-the-box on modern Linux), but for something else, like controllers that need to talk to your programms in some special way, you’d better google their compatibility or try it yourself. Making a passthru of inputs to VM or taking it’s inputs by Wine wouldn’t usually be a problem, problems start when this piece needs a specific Win\Mac-only driver, and they can, especially if they are old, have a temper of a feral ghoul. I know that there are a lot of linuxoids creating in different kinds of media, so I’m pretty sure there are some answers on the web, at least for the same manufacturer, series or kind of hardware.

Awful tanky controls (understandable) didn’t stop me from getting 100% genitals shots in some of it’s missions. Local deathmatch was kinda better because both of you struggled with them. 7\10 for me as a kid, but if I’d play it now as it was back then, I’d quickly drop it in favor of something with a third person perspective. It wasn’t just there yet, and devs did the best they could.
