I just grab an app that lets it increment by amounts other than 10%. Not as good, but doesn’t need root. If I gotta change the volume by alot, I drag the bar. Otherwise I just leave the button at 1% increments. Cuz yeah, my volume is like 1% to 5% most of the time, until I need to watch a youtube video, then it’s like 70%… then the next thing I do on my phone after the youtube video renders me temporarily deaf and everyone within a mile glares at me… and I turn my volume back down to 5% or less again.

Not sure why every single other thing on the phone uses a different standard for volume than video does… just a new loudness war I guess.

Yeah, I use Virtual Desktop, there are other options, but from my experience, there really isn’t… hehe.

When not playing on it, it’s usually a browser window. When playing on it, I use it for 120hz, cuz my physical monitor/TV is only 60hz.

I game on one virtual representation of my real monitor at 4k60hz, and one entirely virtual monitor at 4k120hz. When I am playing a game my sister wants to watch, I play it on the screen that also exists in real life. When I am playing just for me, I play it on the 120hz screen. They are one on top of each other, at the touch of a button they swap exact places with each other. I put the one I’m playing on currently at the bottom.

The main reason I do top/bottom is because the screens are quite large. About the equivalent of sitting a foot away from my real 55 inch TV, but the screens are 20 feet away for eye comfort. So I can effectively only see one screen at a time as they each nearly fill my vision. As big as they can be without having to turn my neck to see parts of them. The top monitor is tilted down towards me, and basically on the roof. Oh, I should mention I generally play from a recliner when playing desktop games, so even the lower monitor is tilted down to face me.

When I want to play something in ultra-wide, the virtual screen can be set to 5740x1080 at 120hz(equal to 3 1080p screens side by side, but as one screen, flat or curved to any degree you want), but for the most part anything that works in ultra-wide works in VR, and full VR is likely gonna be the better option.

Although most of the time I’m playing full VR games and standing to play them. No apparent screens there, just living in the game.

Possibly, I’d have to see if they can be taken apart. From memory, I don’t recall exactly what the handle fastener looked like, but it seemed like an unadjustable system.

That doesn’t look like a safety can opener, the ones that cut the side of the rim? Looks like the old style, like a swingline or something.

Thank you, hopefully it won’t be a long wait after.

I don’t know where the line is from, but gonna guess from context it’s “fuck a stranger in the ass”.

Umm, is it possible you might be taking this personally? Your response seems super unnecessarily aggressive.

Ah sorry, guess I should have tagged it as sarcastic.

The microsoft store sells games? I thought that was only used to occasionally update your xbox for pc controllers by grabbing the xbox accessories app. Never seen the microsoft store otherwise.

I would hope that the AI would at least be trying to sound human. Otherwise, probably not much I can do. I am Autistic, with most of the traits that make me seem like some super advanced android rather than a human. As far as I can tell, after 40 years of life, I have no emotions, just logic.

So if I can’t convince them by saying the AI would be able to mimic a human better than I can, then I’m out of luck.

If this is a normal restriction at your office, would other people who work in that environment have solutions?

Due to the way federating works, a lot of regular users across different servers and clients will see the original content for quite a while too.

My concern is, part of the design of the app is to know when the user is underage and detect when they are sending a nude. While I appreciate them putting a ‘speed bump’ there… detecting that specific event could also be an attack vector. Hopefully, we can trust the company that removed “do no evil” from their mission statement to do no evil here…

The phrase “minding their own business” has a completely different and much more sinister meaning in this context though.

Yeah, the electronic device sound is coil whine, mostly produced by power transformers, but a few other things too. Some do it loudly enough or low pitch enough for everyone to hear, others are quiet enough or high pitch enough that only people like us can hear them.

Yeah, I have a similar thing. Despite my whole household getting sick with something and me not taking precautions, I rarely get any of the symptoms that would come from the immune system doing it’s job, and my symptoms from the disease itself are always mild and short lived. I still take precautions against anything new going around, since my presumption is that even if I have my immune system to thank for this, it can still only protect me against threats it knows.

Yeah, I think most people that have 10 or more years experience with linux or unix or other forms think that it has gotten much easier to start out than when they did it, sure it was a struggle back then, but it’s been ten years and I have an easy time with all of it now, so it must be easier now. It may be a bit easier than it was 10 years ago, or 20 years ago, but it’s still very much not “accessible”. Even most steam deck users have a hard time with the very simple, presentable, accessible version that comes on that.

It’s easy to lose track of how hard something is when it hasn’t been for you in a long time. But linux is unfortunately still very inaccessible for the vast majority of people. It is constantly moving in the right direction, and generally worth getting through the hard part to make it to the other side, but you need motivation to do so, as it will fight back for a long time. But, windows and mac have it almost as bad. Neither one is quite as hard to transition to as linux, but there is still a decent barrier to switch between them. Once linux is around that same level of barrier, that’s when we can expect the numbers to come up notably.

I suppose it depends on if you can write a fun story around either one. Since every rule about vampires that sticks basically only has one thing in common, the writing in which it was featured was popular. If what you write around it isn’t very good, then no, I guess retroactively that isn’t how vampires work. But if it becomes popular and part of peoples canon in the future, then yes, that is exactly how vampires work, now.
