What brand of preipherals do you have? Razer software (Synapse) can map Razer peripheral keys to anything you like, including macros. I’m willing to bet several other manufacturers have the same feature.

Fun fact! ‘Mong’ is an abbreviation of ‘mongoloid’, a term used as a slur for people with Down’s Syndrome. The fun part is that the reason for the term being used is quite clever! Those with Down’s Syndrome have a usually noticeable difference in their facial structure, with a wide, flatter face and smaller eyes. Features that are rarely found elsewhere, first discovered in natives of the country Mongolia!

No, I found conduwuit to be my favourite server by far 😭

This poor person. It’s because of her and her values on the websites and docs that I chose conduwuit for my Matrix server, as well as the reason I found and joined the blahaj Lemmy instance…

An old meme once said:

The leadership (is supposed to) represent the people, the people do not represent the leadership. Israelis do not represent the Israeli government. Employees of a Meta subsidiary do not represent Meta, Facebook, or Zuckerberg. Don’t attack McDonald’s employees because the burger is more expensive, YouTube employees because the content preys on children or residents/soldiers of a country because the government decides to mobilise its army against another community. Employees are just victims of capitalism, just working there because they must, irrespective of politics.

Thanks! I’m okay. Like you say, I have friends who are my family :) we support each other. It’s good to know that relatives aren’t the only potential source of such care, despite what they might teach aha

Hell, I disowned my dad for making a racist act, pretty much, pointing to a black child at a golf course and making subtle monkey actions. Later that day I said fuck it, came out to him as trans. The following weeks that he contacted my partner and I proved my decision to banish him was correct, and so I did. A zero tolerance policy for intolerant people is a must imo

Parents have no hold over you, not really. If they don’t deserve your presence, don’t allow it. I hope, however, that your cousins would accept your choice and stay in contact with you, because sibling love is so much more valuable.

Families shouldn’t be torn over political garbage anyway, priorities are all out of wack

Perhaps not knowing this at first was unforgivable to a few people, and accepting help from you seemed like I was being insincere? I am genuinely happy to see so many eager to help in this community, hell in the instances I’ve engaged with! So, so much nicer than Reddit aha

Thank you, that’s fantastic! I need an upgrade and am likely going to go AMD for CPU and GPU. I think my Microsoft days are coming to an end aha

Thank you! I’ll give it a proper shot, including enabling that setting. So good to know :)

I didn’t use Proton, there’s the difference. Most games didn’t have a download option. I felt a compatibility module wouldn’t offer nearly as good performance/efficiency as a game designed to run on Linux/ext4 - but are you saying that playing via Proton is fine?

The only thing stopping me from migrating is 90% of my Steam library isn’t available on Linux. I’m stuck on Windows for my main

Edit: Thank you everyone! Last time I checked was about 6 months ago, I didn’t give Proton a proper shot and I will be glad to migrate fully!

I got one recently by B&H Photo Video, may have got lucky but the drive was brand new and untampered, and was in plastic cushioning, in a fitted box, inside 6" of airbags, inside another box. Delivered by DHL Express.
