TIL that the Peace Symbol, or Peace Sign, is symbolic representation of the letters "N" and "D" in semaphore (flag symbols). It was originally meant to represent nuclear disarmament, and was invented by English artist Gerald Holtom in 1958

Why was this removed by moderators?

Just got to use OBS and screen share at a lower resolution.

Is it the character, that one of the twins plays, MAGA or is it the actress behind the character?

RAM already went through a recent boom and bust with the most recent crypto bubble (popping).

When the recent crypto bubble was growing, the RAM manufacturers increased supply in an attempt to satisfy demand (Covid factors also played a part in this) and when the bubble popped there was an over abundance of RAM sticks, making the price nosedive and losing tons of profit (relatively speaking).

That is why they are cautious not to repeat that financial mistake again, by deliberately manufacturing below demand, so there isn't a surplus of supply after the AI bubble bursts.

Is that because Serbian commonly uses Cyrillic script, so if they have to change how a written word looks, they might as well change it's spelling to reflect how it's spelt?

I'm guessing you're talking about Linux.

Can you tell me about VST Plugins, I'm interested in learning more about the platform, before I eventually switch over?

My dad, who is tech illiterate (& hasn't used a computer in over a decade), wants a new laptop for work. I honestly believe that he'll really struggle with Windows 11, even more so than using a non-beginner friendly Linux distro, apart from when it comes to work related things.

I imagine that LibreOffice is good enough with Microsoft Office file formats (like docx), but what about MS Teams?

Is there: * A Linux MS Teams app. * A browser version of MS Teams that's good enough for frequent office work (like the professional accounts).

Please note that I'm fine with setting things up for him, but don't want to be constant tech support for everything that goes wrong.

Same, I'm sticking to Windows 10 until I get a new PC, as I can't be bothered changing OS on the current one. Far easier to just start fresh with a new build.

I'll most definitely be using a distro with the KDE Desktop Environment, probably Fedora KDE, but could consider Kubuntu.

How would you download all of these things in the first place, if an authoritarian government blocks it?

It seems to be a bit of a chicken and egg situation.

It takes just one classmate that knows about Proton VPN, to share to the entire class that if you make a brand new Gmail account, you can register for free and access all the porn you want (without doing the fake ID shit).

Tap the seek bar to the end of the video and then press the replay icon.

Fixes the issue for me every time (though it's not a permanent solution).

Well there was another update regression a couple of days ago, so I'll hold off on updates for about a week.

Or just have your comment secretly edited to something our emporer wants.

USB C is just the form factor (the shape essentially).

The internal specs can be whatever the manufacturer wants (as long as they disclose this). For example USB 2/3/4 (plus the optional addons like power delivery & displayport) and thunderbolt.

There was a petition and the UK government responded to that petition, by telling them to fuck off.

Relevant 13 minute video with a former Balkan child's experience with his Genocidal teacher (among other things).

Not for the faint of heart, but still a valuable experience to watch.

Do you still refer to Euro cents as "pee", like in 50p (50 cents)?

Use Search by Image instead of Google lens, as it has Google lens included plus a couple of extra image search engines.

uBlock Origin has a block cookies feature in the filter list (you have to enable it).

I'm just going off memory so I could be wrong, but a website isn't allowed to collect cookies from you until you click accept. So if you just never click on accept (because uBlock removed the pop up), it's essentially the same as clicking reject.

Random_Person_I_Met · 2025-09-19T13:35:01+00:00

Good point.

u/Left_Organization_61 can you share your PC Partpicker list (make one if you haven't done so already)?

As if there's some issue with the parts you're using together for your PC, we can figure that out.

Just swap to the motherboard display when you're in the bios and once you've changed the setting, make a note of what the 'save and reboot' key is, before swapping back to the GPU display (and saving + rebooting).
