Is that really a thing? I don’t usually get into discussions about DEs that often, and pretty much never irl. So I haven’t seen any general vibe at all.
Like, my impression of kde vs gnome is that they’re both very geared towards a more general user that’s going to be doing basic things, but with the ability to go more advanced as needed. I kinda assumed they were both going to draw people that are “basic” like the images in the meme for gnome, with cinnamon users also being in that range, where something like xfce would be for folks that want a bit more modularity and “hackiness”.
I’m not being a smartass, I just don’t really know if there’s more to the meme than just a bit of fun or not.
Does this really bother folks that much? I’ve never cared much about this kind of leeching as long as it isn’t dominating my personal bandwidth. And it never has so far, though I have to admit my 4ish tb of movies isn’t exactly high demand stuff, so I don’t usually have more than one or two at a time being leeched.
Hell, I don’t really care much about leeches anyway, as long as the overall ability to find things is still there. I look at it as the price of the freedom of torrents. There’s always going to be higher demand for data than there are people with the resources/time/willingness to seed heavily. I’m okay with that because I don’t really want to have to keep and seed every fucking thing out there, it would take much more storage than I can afford to be able to keep a ratio on most private trackers since I tend not to keep shit I don’t intend to watch at least once a year unless it’s something pretty damn obscure.
My crippled ass limps and canes my way to the nearest provided spot.
If I can do this with one leg that barely works, two bad knees, a bad back, and after a half hour+ of misery stumping around a grocery store, nobody not in a chair has an excuse. And it ain’t that hard to return a cart in a chair.
Since a lot of women have started to call their female friends “girlfriends”, I have to wonder how women with actual girlfriends have been dealing with this lol
Yeah, hate to break it to you, but it isn’t even just women/girls using it for platonic friends. Men/boys are too.
Not too surprisingly, that hasn’t happened with boyfriend that I’ve run across. Which is kinda fucked up when you consider what the difference in usage represents.
Nah, in canon, it’s been shown to be resistant to similar types of coherent energy. It might slightly mar the surface because of the heat, but it wouldn’t cut it. And even the heat thing is my giving the light saber properties beyond what’s shown in film and in books.
That’s blast doors of an unspecified metal. If it follows the usual SW materials where such things are specified, they wouldn’t be exotic materials, they’d be alloys of standard metals on the real periodic table.
That’s why I say that I’m giving the benefit of the doubt to the light saber. They reach plasma temps, which is hot as hell, but wolvie has taken hits from plasma generated by technology and super powers. If it was a sustained thing, maybe; but a fight doesn’t allow for sustained contact.
I mean, obviously, it would depend on who was in charge of the writing decisions. But us nerds have to guesstimate as best we can. In SW universe there are exotics that can resist the sabers both under short and sustained contact. Adamantium is pretty exotic, and is canon about as close to indestructible as it gets.
Light sabers aren’t really meant to be unstoppable, they’re not an ultimate weapon. They’re a high tech, very effective sword that uses coherent energy that generates high heat on contact. There’s limits the what they can do.
It’s one of those things where sabers have been written to have limits more often than Adamantium has, so I err on that side of things.
Windows 10. I was originally okay with another windows version rather than just updates, and then my dad put it on his as an “upgrade” from 7. It was utter shit. Took an old but serviceable pc and turned it into fucking molasses. And that’s not even the worst of the bullshit, as it turned out.
So, I grabbed some CDs and burned on some distros and tried shit out. I liked what I found, with the exception of audio.
I’m definitely not obsessed. I don’t have brand loyalty, even when the brand is free as in beer. And I’m not evangelical in that I don’t inject linux into every fucking computer related conversation. But I do speak up for the fact that we aren’t stuck with only windows and no other options, and that I prefer Linux overall.
Now, I am a bit zealous about how much I fucking hate Microsoft and windows, but that’s a separate issue imo. But, again, I don’t inject that into every conversation.
I dunno, it’s kinda rolling the dice. You can get really lucky sometimes. Even if the person doesn’t necessarily care about the stuff, they pick up what other people say, and would know what gets bought the most. That’s better than nothing at times.
And then you can get really lucky and find someone that knows their shit.
So it never hurts to ask, though you may get an actual eye roll lol
I kinda dig the bland crust. Not for eating, but for not eating. Like, sometimes you’d rather your calories come from toppings, and saving the crust for the next day to dip in those shitty marinara cups when you’re tired as hell is a good thing.
Like, not often, but sometimes.
Then again, we don’t do pizza often, and it’s usually when all adults are fucking wrecked via some bullshit or another that pushed us past our limits (both me and my wife are disabled, and my dad is old as fuck lol). If we want pizza to really enjoy I make it myself, or order it from the two yankees that set up a shop in town.
Eh, it’s part politics, but also part the way he treats people, including his children. Not a good person outside of his public persona, if all reports are true.
We’re not talking some kind of rapist here, just being an asshole to people that he had no need to be an asshole to, mostly employees.
The political shit is absolutely true, btw, he’s made the statements supporting the ccp and against Hong Kong independence publicly, but I don’t really count that against someone that lives in and/or is from the areas, just not my business (regardless of disagreeing).
The other stuff is fairly well known, but it’s mostly “alleged” because there’s no proof for every bit of it. But you can find the parts about him and his son easy enough, and make your own judgement there.
Eeehhhhhh, I think the key is that it isn’t a universal thing to autistic people. I’m sure there are some that care about it, some that are neutral as well. If it really was something that even simple majority of autistic people objected to, it would be like what you’re talking about.
But that’s what I’m talking about, it doesn’t seem to be something that the autistic community as a group give two shits about it. I’ve literally never heard any autistic person say that it was inherently a bad thing, and the only objection I’ve heard about 'sperg as a term is from people that object to it being inaccurate.
Now, if someone is making use of such things to belittle or harass them, then you’ll see some shit go down. It could be a regional thing, I don’t know as many people outside of the tri-county area. It is definitely possible that the fairly rural and relaxed locality means that the people here don’t give a shit, but people in cities, or other states could.
Point being that no single person has the authority to speak for another group at all, and even someone from that group can only speak for the rest and considered authoritative if that position comes from consensus. I have never seen a consensus that autistic people object to reeee-ing as a group. If there is such a consensus, I withdraw my objection to your objection (lol).
It isn’t ableist, that’s the entire point. For it to be ableist, it has to be either derogatory and/or not acceptable to the form of disability involved. I’m saying that neither of those are the case in this post.
Unless you’re saying you’re autistic and object on that basis, I frankly don’t know why it bothers you when plenty of people that are autistic absolutely do not care.
Look, dude, if you roll up on me in public and say you like my cripple stick, unless you’re saying it in a douchey way, I’m not going to be up your ass about it. Why? Because while cripple is a term that some people may use in a douchey way, the word itself isn’t some kind of slur. So, if you aren’t using it as one, why the fuck would anyone care? Hell, if a non cripple started giving you shit, I’d point my fucking cripple stick at them and tell them to fuck off. Jumping in and trying to tell a fucking cripple what is and isn’t acceptable to say to them is ableist.
That’s essentially what you’re doing. If you’re neurotypical, you do not get to speak for the neurodivergent. That’s what the entire point is. I started out trying to say it a little nicer, but the condescension inherent in making claims for someone else is absurd.
Are you autistic? If that’s the case, I’ll fuck off and leave you alone. Otherwise, fuck that ableist shit right in the ear, because my crippled ass, and the autistic people I know don’t actually need anyone talking shit on our behalf, we do quite well ourselves.
I’m using my mp3 player to listen to albums. I’ve been using this site to download my music but it has no track number data. So I have to write that myslef manually. If there’s a a program that can download albums for my that’ll be great. Ideally I’d want it to do mp3’s at 320kbps....
Yeah, I’ll echo the soulseek suggestion. It’s trivial to find anything but the most obscure stuff, and even that’s possible. I have something like 4tb of total shared files, of which about 2tb is music, almost all in flac format, with acceptable tagging standards. And I’m a lightweight on soulseek.
Throw in musicbrainz to flesh out the tags, and you’re good to go.
Just be sure to share some of your stuff back, and you’re set. There are people that won’t let you download from them unless you’re sharing, so it matters.
Waaay less. I’ve never heard of any issues with it being a common thing at all. Tbh, I’ve never known anyone to get tagged for it. I never have, even before I started using a vpn for everything.
