#paintdotnet You guys gotta stop making me call you out like this.
When I rotate a layer, and I want to rotate it by 270 degrees, you cap me out at 180 degrees. But I know you are perfectly capable of understanding how to rotate an image by 270 degrees, because you let me rotate by -90 degrees. You know. That's how circles work? You don't think I'm gonna use the crappy little slider to rotate an image by -92.09 degrees do you? Let me just type in an angle, any angle, and convert it to whatever you need after I mouse out of the field.
Damn, Dyson Sphere Program just updated Friday, and I can't even load the game with just BepInEx. Can't even test the mods that have been recently updated, and neither Thunderstone or r2modman can even launch the game without getting an error that causes it to never load. Anyone else seeing this/have a fix?
Don't trust anyone who speaks confidently this fast. His entire intent is to sound authoritative while slipping things like this by you faster than you can raise an eyebrow. -- /u/ReallyNowFellas
"This article is terrible and nonsensical, it must have been written by AI."
Comments like these forget that real people can also create terrible and nonsensical articles. Or they don't agree with the point being made so they just claim it wasn't a real person's idea. Or both.
I have a meme scavenger hunt, a meme bounty if you will. Somewhere out there is this clip from George C. Scott's A Christmas Carol with the "It is Wednesday, my dudes" meme mixed in.
It's kind of funny how many 1:1 clones of popular subreddits were created on kbin after the big Reddit api debacle earlier this year that were posted in by like one or two people for a month or so, then just completely died. Some with hundreds or 1k + users subscribed.
Just seeing all of them in the abandoned magazine section.
But even among the few who are here, there's little posting outside of the big news and meme magazines (though that also goes for Lemmy communities). Not unique to the #fediverse by any means — there will always be way more lurkers than posters — but I really wish more people would contribute to the communities that they're active in. #kbinmeta
A relative told me "you're too young to be so old-fashioned about technology," after I said I don't use AI to code, and seeing that I wasn't wearing a smartwatch. And I would disagree, I don't eschew new technology. I have a new smartphone, I have a new PC I built myself, I have a ton of extensions loaded on my browser, I run a Pihole, I wrote meager updates for my Fediverse instance. I love new technology.
What I don't love is that new technology often comes strapped to the side of a Rent-seeking subscription service. It's got toxic advertising forming a cancerous growth right in plain view. It requires an account and personal data and loads a hundred tracking cookies to share that data with a thousand third parties. And it's all held hostage by the company going bankrupt and turning your tech into a brick.
So yeah, I'm not old-fashioned about new technology, I'm just stubborn and refuse to accept the bloat they come with. There's plenty of new tech that doesn't have that, it just happens to look like the old tech that was perfectly suitable for us.
@CyberCatBytes Funny, every time I've tried Linux, it's ended in tears, and installing FreeDOS to run Format ., because Linux doesn't even have that command.
I wish it wasn’t so hard to keep doing this shit every day. I sometimes wish that pickup truck killed me when he hurled me from my bike. He took away my strength, my power and my body from me. I used to be so strong and now I can barely hobble to my desk everyday. I hate it. I hate my weak and terrible body and despite all my hard work I have to accept this is as good as it ever gets. Maybe it’s not worth the effort. Maybe I should just give up. Who would even care if I did?
I know it can be easy to believe nobody cares. I know it can feel pointless to even try anymore. I’ve been there. Reach out to those around you - tell them you need help. Amit that you’re not ok. I know, it’s scary. And sometimes they might not seem to care. But you’ll find someone who cares about you, somebody who gives you a reason. I did. It took forever, I went for years believing I was better off dead because of the trauma I’d been through, the damage from abuse. But people do care, no matter what you’ve been through. The world is cruel, uncaring, unjust. But humanity is the only thing that changes that. And even though we stray from the ideal of what we think life should be - even though there is still great suffering - there is hope. I care about you. I don’t even know who you are, and you don’t know me. But I care about your life, I hope you push through the suffering. We might agree and get along. We might be on opposites in our ideology, we might disagree, we might even hate every ounce of what the other stands for. But there is purpose to your life. There is a purpose for all of us. It may be hard to find - it may only be what we make of life. But it is there, and it is found in other people. It took hearing that from someone else to finally understand that. I still need to hear it often. But keep living, even when it seems hopeless. Even one more moment of joy is worth the suffering. I’ve been there. I’ve had years of pain since I tried to end it. But I’ve also had moments of love, of joy, of connection to those around me, that are worth every moment of pain. Reach out to those around you. Just talk to them. It’s hard, I know. But once you make connections with others, once you have someone to lean on, things will get better. The pain never goes away. Trauma never leaves completely. Legs don’t heal, scars don’t fade. But the people in your life can make it all worth living. Because, ultimately, even one moment of joy, of contentment, of love, defies all the laws of nature in something only human life can create. That is the value of living.
I've been trying to expand my musical taste lately. So I found a recommendation for "Kalk Samen Kuri no Hana" by Sheena Ringo. I listen to it on youtube and it sounds awful, even though all the comments praised it. Maybe it's just not my thing...
Then I listened to it in my car, where I had an actual subwoofer. So I found out that the sub is literally required to listen to the album. It's good.
