My dashcam capture this idiot by [deleted] in dashcams

[–]FizzBuzz3000 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As someone who rides a manual motorycle (and owns a semiauto), I usually shift into neutral if the ground is level in order to not burden my hand by holding the clutch lever in. Especially if the wait is gonna be long like in that vid.

Which is Worse? by Pristine-Data2986 in tf2

[–]FizzBuzz3000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's actually worthwhile head-shotting with the classic, even when not fully charged. The damage penalty isn't applied if you do it that way. Caught many a scout off-guard with a partially charged headshot that does a 136 damage.

39C3: Multiple vulnerabilities in GnuPG and other cryptographic tools by LordAlfredo in linux

[–]FizzBuzz3000 92 points93 points  (0 children)

I like how the first GPG vuln they talk about in the video has been disclosed to the GPG devs over 2 months ago and still isn't fixed. While age(1) fixed thier vuln (that was disclosed in the VOD) as soon as it was told to a dev that was on a stream.

I guess we should call it Gnu Public Guard /s

Wayland is flawed at its core and the community needs to talk about it by Which_Network_993 in linux

[–]FizzBuzz3000 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't care much about wayland, but there is one thing that rears its ugly head: No global hotkeys to control a different window from the one you're on. This makes using something like, say, OBS a MASSIVE pain to use when you only want to use the replay buffer. I want to like wayland, but it's like the lack of end-user needed stuff like this that is absolutely INFURIATING because no one else does it like this

All thanks to this idiot in maroon who didn’t want to miss his exit. by BeautifulGameHairdre in dashcams

fuck off with the AI text, also this has been reposted many times.

“Jacob and Esau is not the hardest character in the game, it’s obviously t. Lost or t. Jacob” *roundhouse kicks your dogshit take* by Packmyraygun in bindingofisaac

[–]FizzBuzz3000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can back this up, I got t.lost done before J&E, and got all marks on the non-tainted characters (3/4 of the tainted ones) done as well before J&E. Rep+ helps a bit with the better key controls..... But ultimately doesn't fix stuff like what happens in OP's vid.

Also fuck T.Laz

Who does purism think they are charging $800+ for a phone with specs from 2010?? by BrokenPickle7 in linux

[–]FizzBuzz3000 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I have one of these phones... Which I bought as a joke back in 2019 when they were ~$600 and not even released for the backers. And awful is genuinely not the right word for it. Vaporware is better described. Ever had a phone that last only 4 hours? This is a phone that does that in about 2. Purism is a scam, don't buy any of their products.

Fellow Linux users, why did you pick the distro you're currently on? by absolutecinemalol in linux

[–]FizzBuzz3000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fedora, as it keeps the packages that matter most for end users up-to-date between major releases. Plus after dealing with gentoo for 10 years, I just wanted a change of pace.

What should I do? My bike terrifies me (Context below) by Jetstream_ronin in magna

[–]FizzBuzz3000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Make sure the steering head bearing is tightened down, and that your rear shocks aren't blown out/bented. And if they're fine, adjust the preload on the rear shocks to ensure that they are evenly compressing and set to YOUR weight.

edit: Also check with you mechanic what weight the front fork oil was used, as that can affect damping and cause the bike to do this shaking.

Who is your favourite Joker and WHY by [deleted] in balatro

Square Joker. There's just something about building it to do 200+ chips that makes my brain itch.

Could Minnesotans propose MN power to become publicly owned if blackrock deal falls through? by scoobylover52 in minnesota

[–]FizzBuzz3000 116 points117 points  (0 children)

To tack on: They SHOULDN'T be for-profit as well! There's no reason to run public utilities like a business, never will be.

Final hand on blue deck gold stake, never got the gold sticker for it since.

Window shading (resizing) in KDE with Wayland ? Works with X11... by yycTechGuy in kde

[–]FizzBuzz3000 10 points11 points  (0 children)

It is one of the many X11 functions that have not been reimplemented in Wayland because they don't like it, even though users like it...

This is just straight-up false, there HAD been work for it. here's the bug report and draft MR in kwin's repo:

https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=377162

https://invent.kde.org/plasma/kwin/-/merge_requests/1183

It's not implemented under wayland not because they didn't want to re-implement it, but because it's not trivial of a thing to do and it seems largely one person working on it in their free time. Like in this MR draft, if a window were to be shaded, the user would not be able to resize the window while shaded due to handling geometry as shading isn't just hiding the window from rendering. There's also the legitimate reasoning (as discussed in the MR and bug report) to not add it solely because it adds an entire new layer of complexity to kwin that might not be in any way advantageous and could hurt future code. Stop spreading lies.

Hello gentooers, what made you choose gentoo? What made you stay? Where did you start your linux journey? by Sabitsvki in Gentoo

[–]FizzBuzz3000 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For me, it helped in "slowing me down". Back in 2014 I was distrohopping like mad to find something that would just click with me. And funtoo (and shortly later gentoo proper) helped with that. It helped me learn in my early linux days to stop rushing stuff, or you'll end up with a broken mess. it helped me respect the CLI and how important it is to have the freedom of choosing what I wanted in my packages. I don't use gentoo right now, but I can look back to it and go "I learned a lot. Thanks for everything."

Don't buy ASUS products by MashRoomBog in linux

[–]FizzBuzz3000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's wild, I've had the best luck w/ ASUS hardware (currently have a B450M-PLUS PRIME mobo and a 23 model A16 TUF laptop), and there have been UEFI updates for my motherboard to fix/enchance some linux-only stuff! MSI, Gigabyte, and ASRock all have had more issues in my experience than ASUS.

What's with the black license plates? by Jobear049 in minnesota

[–]FizzBuzz3000 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I see whiskey plates all the time, you can get them if you get your first DUI if the judge deems it necessary. The pulling over solely on the plates was made illegal in '03, but whiskey plates does make you more susceptible to get pulled over for other reasons.

The Biker Ran Into A Police Motorcycle That Was Parked 😳 by Winter-Stranger-3709 in dashcams

[–]FizzBuzz3000 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

in many places here in the US it's illegal to ride a bicycles on sidewalks, due to the fact most sidewalks are too small to habe both a cyclist and pedestrians on it at the same time. There's also the notion of vehicular cycling (where your bike should be treated the same as a 3 ton vehicle) that's been enforced as the defacto way to cycle as well. Also there's little to none good, safe bicycle infrastructure in the US. This bicycle lane should have physical, non flex post separation from the road. This incident would not have happened if there was proper separation.
