What are you talking about? I’ve witnessed it several times now at work, especially regarding programming or EE. Have you not yet suffered through a programmer condescendingly explain trivial matters to others, especially to women?

The post is obviously a hyperbole but it’s not too far off from reality.

I don’t think anybody is obsessed with it. It’s a problematic behavior in many men, enough so that it’s become a meme, particularly in the US.

I’d argue it depends on who is serving it and what their intentions are. I don’t think it’s necessarily bad. I went to a local Juneteenth celebration and the food stands were serving some fried chicken, collard greens, jollof rice, etc.

I was running out of RAM on my 16GB system for years (just doing normal work tasks), so I finally upgraded to a new laptop with 64GB of RAM. Now I never run out of memory.

I’m not sure off-hand since I’m not too familiar with VLC.

I would imagine it could be an issue in a graphics driver at the kernel (amdgpu?) or user level (mesa?). It could also be a problem in something higher up.

I would recommend posting an issue in the VLC repo and see if you can get better support that way.

Can you turn off hardware decoding and see if it works then?

You could write C or assembly and it would be compiled to something that would run on an embedded chip. They may or may not be running an RTOS.

I lived nextdoor to a massive section 8 apartment and never had any problems fwiw. Sucks that you had a hard time but it’s definitely a ymmv thing.

Just because someone is using a voucher doesn’t mean they’re going to attract crime. Where I lived, it was mostly immigrants that were new to the country.

What do you mean? It’s: landlords cannot discriminate against renters using housing vouchers. As in: landlords cannot deny renters just because of they’re paying rent with vouchers.

Most of the embedded world uses those.

These would be great for backups if they’re cheap enough.

Somebody correct me if I’m wrong, but I don’t think Yuzu has any proprietary code. Folks have to go to other websites to download the Switch firmware and keys needed to play games.

Quick update: talked to my boss and he’ll be moving it “soon”. I think I’ll just wfh for the rest of the day.

Update 2: my boss apologized and moved the printer and resins out. 😊 I popped by after work tonight and it still smells but it’s not bad now.

I hate how tipping is now customary at every single restaurant now, including places without servers.

“is it a proper noun”: 🤷‍♂️

“are there multiple of this”: 👎

You can (could?) get Thinkpads with Ubuntu preinstalled.

Here’s some things Lemmy could potentially implement:

• a default sort that favors smaller communities
• better onboarding for new users that guides them into discovering new communities
• giving recommendations to other similar communities

Not really. I’ve lived here for ~30 years and certain spots are better, some are worse.
