  • if the revenue from the tax is used for the UBI, there is no change in the money supply compared to the current situation. So, can you explain where the inflation you're predicting is coming from?

    The Steam Deck's budget price tag is the reason I still rate it nearly two years on
  • It's funny. I thought I would just play through my SO's gargantuan library for a long while, but I'm pretty sure I've spent more on new games than I did on the Steam Deck itself at this point. So, yeah. They made the right call.

  • But you'd be resting on the extra day, too (if you want, I for one will be partying). So you'd never go more than seven days without rest.

    If that still doesn't fly, I suggest we combine the extra day and the previous day into a mega-day that is 48 hrs long. Then everyone except programmers will be happy (we're never happy with datetime conventions anyway, so what's one more if-else statement between friends).

    Does anyone actually like 3d movies?
  • I wear glasses, so 3D glasses on top of my regular glasses are annoying. Some 3D movies make me motion sick, too (not always, but sometimes). But i do it anyway because friends/family are worth a bit of discomfort . I don't feel super strongly about it or anything, but that's what I have against it.

  • What exactly would be so troublesome with having a "special day" outside of the usual week/month cycle? You can still go worship on whatever day of the week applicable to your faith. Just make the last day of the year its own thing. We can call it "New Years Eve" and party together.

  • I shall tell you the story of FrankenPod. One iPod had a broken hard drive; one had a tear in the connector to the screen. I managed to reassemble a funtioning iPod from the pieces of each. Eventually, though, it became too onorous to find the old-style iPod charging cables, so I had to move on. But I do miss FrankenPod.

    What’s something on your mind lately that nobody else would understand?
  • I would definitely suggest getting a good chair. Being able to adjust the height and stuff is really important, especiallyfor shoulder pain. Take a look at used gaming chairs and/or keep an eye out for recently discontinued models at brick-and-mortar office supply stores (mine was super cheap because they only had the floor model left).

    What’s something on your mind lately that nobody else would understand?
  • I hope the new keyboard and mouse do the trick! I also was experiencing wrist/arm/shoulder pain after I started working primarily on a laptop. I got a split keyboard that i can angle in a more ergonomic manner, and that single change cleared my pain up. Repetitive stress injuries suck. and I hope you find relief with your new work setup.

    The FDA is warning parents to test their children after lead is found in WanaBana fruit puree pouches | CNN
  • My money is on the cinnamon powder. Lead is kinda sweet, pretty common and quite heavy (and thus pretty cheaper per unit weight), and can make colorful pigments... if it wasn't for the toxicity, it could have made quite the versatile food additive. It wouldn't be the first time high levels of lead were found in dried spices/herbs; in fact, it's unsettlingly common.

    How do I add UEFI entries to boot any USB device?
  • Try F1 instead of F12. It should be under Setup -> Boot, and then just make your USB the first entry, save, and exit. And just so we're covering all bases, the usb should be plugged in before you reboot into the bios settings and it may be under a name that doesn't say "usb" anywhere (for example, the name of my usb in the bios settings contains the manufacturer and size in GB in addition to some other nonsense that i think is a model number).

    What is something (feature, modes, settings...) you would like to see become a standard in video games?
  • One of my favorite steam deck features is being able to use gyro controls for any game. It's not always as smooth as the Switch, but it works pretty well to add a bit of additional fine-grained control to the course-grained control of the R-stick.

  • i do this; i just have so much to say, and there are only so many conjugations and commas you can get away with -- without it becoming a run-on sentence (i may have a run-on mind).

    Privileged avocado
  • i dunno, could just be something off with the photo color. whenever my avocados are underripe, the meat sticks to the pit. this one seems to have come out clean. i'd eat it.

  • I've been using i3wm for long enough that i now can't go back to a user interface that requires me to use a mouse to get stuff done. However, I'm setting up an old laptop that will be used by both me and my SO for mainly media purposes, but also as my general-use computer for basic tasks. He has been using windows since forever, and has no interest in learning all my keyboard combos.

    I'm looking for a WM that supports tiling and keyboard control to do all the things, while still having the mouse-centric control options he's used to: something akin to a "start" button where he can get to the applications, a "close" button on the windows themselves, and the ability to rearrange windows with the mouse.

    I'm also not interested in having to logout/login just to use a different WM, as i imagine us going back and forth on who is in control of the computer relatively frequently. I know PopOS has tiling support, but my muscle memory is strong, and I found it cumbersome to redefine all the bindings in a GUI to get it more "i3-like", so having keyboard bindings in a config file would be a huge plus for me.

    This magical WM may not exist. I may just have to deal with needing a mouse to use this laptop or having two WMs installed. But I figured it was worth asking y'all for recommendations. Thanks!
