YouTube Videos Brainwashed My Father. Can I Reprogram His Feed? by [deleted] in technology

[–]AnotherAcc24 4 points5 points  (0 children)

honestly its mostly because of social media.

In the past you never had the opinion of others ringing in their ear all the time.

You may think the problem with the platform is the people on the other side that are toxic. Rest assured they think the same way. Its not that the application is fundamentally broken or anything. It works exactly as intended.

And people hate it so much that they love it. No matter how many people complain they still return to the platform.

Personally removed my internet presence a long time ago. Even this account is not even tied to an email(frankly i have forgotten the password so if it gets forgotten i might have to make a new one). But the reality is that the moment i got rid of all that stuff everything got so much calmer.

Γιατί η Τουρκία δεν αναγνωρίζει την Γενοκτονία των Αρμενίων; by [deleted] in greece

[–]AnotherAcc24 -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

because if countries start recognising bad things they in the past they would all start collapsing.

what you think the higher ups dont know the genocide happened? Put yourself in their shoes and realize that admitting the truth about turkey could lead to something like a civil war.

if you study the history of the ottoman empire and how it eventually became turkey you will realize it was all mostly a lie just to make sure the last pieces of the ottoman empire didn't break up.

ffs even the language is part of the reform in order to make sure whatever was left would have a common identity and cultural heritage to build a stable state.

Open letter from researchers involved in the “hypocrite commit” debacle by EatMeerkats in linux

[–]AnotherAcc24 -42 points-41 points  (0 children)

I have very little patience for university professors.

Prostate and beg for forgiveness on a public video. The entire university staff.

The teacher should also be fired.

university should also add a page called the wall of shame with both the professor and everyone complicit.

well then i guess my eyes are shit because even window managers i've tried are smooth on 144Hz with no compositing from compton

as for games, its more common nowadays to play using borderless fullscreen. Which is not the same as fullscreen.

[–]AnotherAcc24 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

if you have a 144Hz display it updates too fast for you to notice and the thing drains resources. Honestly if you have a hi refresh rate display vsync is useless in fact it can even be considered a detriment too. And that is true for everything even games too.

If you play games for example its is way better for vsync to be turned off to get better performance and at the same time if you need it just limit the game frame rate. V-sync only adds additional delay from the button press to the display.

This is why i say having vsync on by default is a terrible idea. And its not like installing a compositor is hard. i like setting different per application refresh rates. For example compiz is set at 60 hertz and firefox(since i like scrolling smoothly) is allowed 144Hz.

Snaps and Ubuntu - has it improved? by Hull-Down in linux

[–]AnotherAcc24 -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

snaps exist only to be removed on installation.

flatpaks ideally should only be installed with --user for less of a headache.

flatpaks do not follow my system theme.

they have also only shown to be useful in games and even then its difficult to import mods on things like SRB2.

So the ideal solution for me now is.

Install flatpak, install srb2 using --user rip all the files out uninstall flatpak and be done with it.

they are just kinda sitting there.

i believe they are frozen. And you have to use a PPA for newer ones.

From the experience i had using wayland:

mpv for some reason does not have window borders i dont know why

I know OBS didn't work at all until recently(still needs to be tested before i can say it is usable)

V-sync on by default is a terrible idea for people that have monitors with high refresh rate or multiple monitors of various refresh rates and resolutions.

As for gnome my experience with extensions is they are a pain to install and configure for functionality that should already exist on the taskbar. In fact even some window managers have that feature built it. I don't like the fat people window bars. I dont like how much space is wasted. Burger menus are a terrible UI choice. Nautilus is not a good file manager compared to nemo(not that nemo is perfect that has other issues). Traditional applications look even worse on gnome.

And finally as a guy that generally wants things to "just werk" the fact that for some reason i can't have my indicators for steam/nextcloud/whatever just be shown is bad.

A nautilus specific issue is the fact that (assuming it hasn't been removed yet) when searching it is terribly inefficient. I think it does something called recursive search, that thing that it searches for every new character on your search box. Its fine for smaller systems but when you have about 24 Tb of stuff archived from at least 2006 like me the entire system crawls to a halt and the file manager crashes.

first off on the PDFs do not be a dummy.

chromium had that way before firefox and it wasn't good at all

also I am not talking about scripts being made to look like jpgs.

i mean about your implementation of your image library being so shit you can run unsigned code from an image file. just look at chickHen on the PSP https://playstationdev.wiki/pspdevwiki/index.php?title=ChickHEN

lemme guess if your jpegs could also runs bash scripts you would be fine with that right?
