Oh fuck yes that sounds awesome, thank you!!

Okay, I see. Thanks for the heads up. Are there any specific scalers I should consider for minimizing latency that you’re aware of?
- Comment on Converting HDMI to composite 4 days ago:
Right, thank you I’ll try to keep this in mind. What do you mean by the TV supporting it though? Like I said, CRTs have no pixels to the best of my understanding, so how would it be aware of the resolution in order to reject it? I can understand it causing problems, but how exactly can a CRT outright reject a signal like that?
- Comment on Converting HDMI to composite 4 days ago:
Thankfully, Mint allows me to output in 4:3 aspect ratio. Now, if the actual resolution will still be an issue, then yeah, I suppose I’ll need that. But if I send a converter a ~720p 4:3 signal and it outputs it to composite, what does it matter to the CRT that doesn’t have pixels anyway?

Sadly it does not take VGA but I do have an old laptop with native VGA out so I could convert that to composite easier. VGA is already an analog format, right?
- Comment on Converting HDMI to composite 4 days ago:
Yeah that makes sense. I’ll have a look into VGA converters, thanks for the tip!

Funny you say that, because I have an old laptop that has a native VGA output on board and I’m testing it out right now! It works and Mint outputs through it just fine, but I’d need to get a VGA to composite adapter. Buuuut, if I’m gonna do that, I might as well just get an HDMI to composite adapter for the compatibility.
Also, any USB to composite/s video/component adapters? That sounds like a great workaround.

None unfortunately. That’s why I’m asking about composite specifically. My only other option is RF lmao

I’ll admit I don’t know how to best make it resemble anything ^^ When I went vegan I came to realize that most of the flavour of meat is in the seasoning, but I never cared if the tofu or whatever actually resembled the meat it was seasoned like.
Now you may ask how to season it properly, and I’d love to tell you, but I’m such a new cook that I can’t. Names of spices elude me, which is part of the reason I need strict recipes to remember how to do shit. I enjoy cooking, I just can’t remember any of it lmao
Tldr: I’d love to help you, but you happened to ask the most useless person for that advice hahaha I’m sorry

Vegan here. I’ve had soy chicken nuggets and they’re actually really good. Soy is closest to chicken from the get-go so its the easiest thing for it to replicate, in my opinion.
So I have no idea what happened here, this looks foul. Wtf
- Comment on "Cancel ChatGPT" movement goes mainstream after OpenAI closes deal with U.S. Department of War — as Anthropic refuses to surveil American citizens 2 weeks ago:
That’s true, people can grow and change. Heck, I used CharacterAI for a very, very brief period when I was lying to myself about it’s impact on not just the world and artists but myself too. I quickly realized I couldn’t defend it, and I didn’t like how it was affecting me personally either so I quickly got rid of it. Been strongly anti-"AI” ever since.

I cannot believe this is what it took for a boycott to go more mainstream. Tell me more about how so many people have no respect for the environment or the artists who’s work they gleefully consume.
