When I look at what she does before even hitting the AI button I think her artistic interests are not in trouble. But she always liked drawing and painting anyways.

Nah, that's running on a laptop with the actual AI stuff being rendered on my gaming PC. I think that's basically what all the AI tools on phones do as well. It's just some company's gaming PC.

Couldn't you configure the existing panel to do what you want? Add and remove widgets and resize it and you should have what you need.

Now I regret not watching more Vision of Escaflowne.

When you want to find something in a different path than your current one you have to supply it as the first argument. When you try to do find -name foo.bar /path it will complain that the path should be the first argument. So it knows what you're trying to do and instead of doing it it just complaints.

Was the other way around for me. F-stab just makes no sense.

You aren't following the rules! You're supposed to nonchalantly get the correct answer and thus discover a new rule that we nowadays know as the Galapagon Principle.

What file format do you store your media in?

Hello! I recently listened to a podcast that talked about how storing media files in .av1 format is very efficient and storage-friendly. I've been storing my files in .mkv format, but now I'm considering using Handbrake or a similar service to convert all my video files to .av1 if it's more compressed than .mkv. So;...

bjoern_tantau ,
@bjoern_tantau@swg-empire.de avatar

If I get my files already compressed they stay that way. If I rip something like a DVD I will just encode it in whatever is good at the moment. Re-encoding usually only makes sense if you can drastically reduce filesize. If you go from one lossy format to another you will always lose quality. So if that just means slightly smaller files I wouldn't do it.

Most unique looking celebrities?

I'm working on a side project studying variations in human facial features. It's been helpful to study celebrity faces because it's easy to find numerous reference photos. I've actually got a fairly good range of weird looking white men, turns out Hollywood is pretty flush with those, but it's been harder to find unique looking...

Tilda Swinton was the first that came to my mind.

On the black side Forest Whittaker has a pretty unique look.

Theoretically it should be possible. You can at least install MTP on Linux PCs and I bet there's something for Windows as well. So I think at that point it's up to the smartphone to have client support.

Meh, but I'm too lazy to test this.

As a workaround you could also just take the pictures without zooming and then zoom in afterwards with any image manipulation program. It's technically the same thing. Minus whatever "enhancements" your camera app is applying.

And I guess your screenshot tool isn't including it in the shot

Oh, I thought that was the scroll bar.

Did you mean with touch support? They can all work without touch if you just don't use it.

Gnome works quite well with touch. I had to jump through some hoops to get KDE Plasma to work well enough on my Steam Deck. I have to use three different on screen keyboards (Maliit, Onboard and Steam's) depending on what I'm doing.

When I had my Pinephone I was really tempted to use Gnome as my DE. There were just some really small annoyances and it would have been perfect. Made me wish that Purism had thrown their weight directly at Gnome instead of making Phosh.

Valve is difficult. On the one hand they have their own Wayland compositor with gamescope. Which works by launching an explicitly configured XWayland session for the game.

And on the other hand there's Steam, which is still an X application.

And on top of that are stupid Steam Input bugs that only happen when you try to launch a game with gamescope.

On the Steam Deck in gaming mode Gamescope is the main compositor which launches two XWayland sessions. I guess one for Steam and one for the game.

It's bizarre.

In my experience, at least with krunner, it would autosort after a while of selecting Firefox.

If you don't have a floppy disk to boot into the optimal memory configuration for your game, what are you even doing with your life?

@bjoern_tantau@swg-empire.de avatar

The stupid zombies in Thief. Just the first one you encounter. It's lying on the ground with flies flying above it. And every time you go near it it gives out this loud awful moan. I hate it!

But the game is too good not to play.

Because of the Mac focus I really had a sliver of hope that Halo might get a Linux release. Or that the Windows release might at least be playable via Wine. Then they got bought by Microsoft.

Such a great game.

I don't think I ever managed to get beyond the first level with any species. Maybe with the Predator.

18+ How can I browse adult content through Torrent websites when adult content is blocked in my country

How and how can I browse with high rate or good content quality not with stupid fantasy , or with very high billionaires who have nothing to do except for F**** and how can I browse the quality content which is very rare in last 16 years??

I very much doubt that they managed to block all porn.

  1. try lemmynsfw.com
  2. find the sources
  3. see which one isn't blocked
  4. wank away

I just wish they'd support older cards as well with the new open source stuff.
