Sounds like you might want to read about splashback:

it would not be unlikely for urine droplets to travel a distance of 5 feet to the side of the urinator,” Dr. Truscott tells us in an email. “And if someone were standing next to him, they would most definitely get small droplets OF THE OTHER MAN’S URINE on their pants and shoes

Your hands are almost certainly getting covered in your own pee unless you’re a sitter. If you’re a sitter, then you’re probably still touching something in the bathroom that someone else peed or splashed on. Either way, wash your hands!

I think OP is referring to Fog Panther, I just saw this yesterday in Flathub: https://flathub.org/en-GB/apps/com.fogpanther.FogPanther. It definitely appears to be some jackass selling a blatant GIMP clone.

TNG sure did have some surprisingly graphic scenes at times for an afternoon/evening show that was mostly family friendly until surprise gore and then back to family friendly for a couple seasons.

Remember the one where they opened those dudes torsos like cans of spaghetti so they could kill the mind-control bugs in them? Why was that deemed necessary for the story at the time, I wonder, versus just having the phasers make them disappear?

I’m not clear what the purpose is for expressing a judgmental attitude about sex workers who are affordable for you. By that logic, you must really hate the idea of sex with anyone doing it for free. Can you not manage to personally avoid sex while also supporting the dignity of those who engage in sex (for money or not)?

you can’t beat them, join them

Saruman was not supposed to be a role model.

Do people expect the price to go down?

Actually yeah that would be great. After all, Netflix is raking in more profit than ever (this chart represents earnings after expenses are removed):

That’s billions. Billions of dollars every year that’s just… extra. Where the fuck are they wasting all this money that requires them to raise prices instead of lowering them?

I mean, we all know it goes to funding the Epstein class and making the world a worse place for everyone else, but it should go towards making their service better and cheaper.

Let’s stop normalizing the predatory nature of capitalism, and instead be surprised when people don’t expect better.

That’s not a fair statement to make. As published in their FAQ, developer time is not what’s lacking in the effort to support more devices:

For most [unsupported] devices, the hardware and firmware will prevent providing a reasonably secure device, regardless of the work put into device support.

The fact that it’s not reddit is a huge benefit. Also, the smaller overall community is an advantage for moderation and seems to result in a nicer experience.

The quality of discourse here is much higher and more varied in breadth of opinion than on any corporate platform I’ve experienced in years, even with the occasional asshole popping up here and there. At least on Lemmy the assholes are easier to avoid and predict (e.g. certain instances attract certain types).

What we lose in missing out on niche gaming discussion is worth what is gained, to me. Also, here it’s small enough that we can be the change we want to see, so if there’s something missing you can always just make a community and start posting about whatever it is, and people will probably find your posts pretty quickly.

“Time heals everything” is essentially true. You’ll eventually move on emotionally, and the people who actually matter in the long run will either remain good friends or be fond memories. The ones who don’t, you might remember with a kind of regret that they weren’t good matches for you, but you’re better off without them anyhow.

There are a ton of people in the world who all have their own specialness, and you’ll see that in someone else eventually, maybe in multiple other people throughout your life.

My 2013 Dell XPS laptop is still running beautifully with Fedora 43 too! Honestly, it’s amazing how much life a piece of old hardware can have with Linux running on it.

Sorry that Cyberpunk didn’t work for you, that’s understandably frustrating. I hope you get what you want from your return to Windows.

If you ever decide to try Linux again, you might benefit from asking people for assistance before you get so frustrated. I’ve personally played Cyberpunk for hundreds of hours on Linux, so I know it certainly does work. There’s probably something going on with that specific repack you’re using that makes it weird to get running.

That looks like Ubuntu, which I believe uses a modified version of Nautilus for the file manager. Hitting CTRL-L (for “location”) should give you a path bar to type into.

Not strictly “out of the box” since the setting isn’t enabled by default, but any distro with a recent version of GNOME installed will have RDP available. It’s ready to be toggled on in settings under System > Remote Desktop > Desktop Sharing:

Unfortunately, RDP always seems to be fiddly for me, it does that disconnect immediately after connecting that you described. Sometimes if I just keep hitting connect over and over, eventually it’ll get confused and stop disconnecting so that I can actually use the desktop for a while. YMMV.

Seems fairly outdated to me, but also completely inadequate. I’ve lived in my current spot for almost 3 years now, and I still routinely receive bills sent to a prior resident. Not even the most recent prior resident either, but someone who hadn’t lived here in a decade or more, and somehow the utility company doesn’t know that he’s not gonna pay that bill they’re sending him, even when I’m paying the same damn company for utilities at the same address.

Most stuff that runs on Windows is uninteresting because there are superior free alternatives on Linux, but in the cases where I needed it, Bottles is great.

I’m not sure what people are referring to in other comments when they say Bottles has “jank”, but for me it works very nicely for the few apps I occasionally need to use it for: Daz3D (just worked), jDownloader (just worked), and Affinity (followed this guide and it worked easily).

I agree! Though, I think the OP is a bot judging by it’s post history, despite not marking itself as one.

I agree with not using the term “sideloading”, but let’s not adopt right wing shame tactics by coining a portmanteau that conflates people’s harmless sexual kinks (e.g., cuckolding) with negativity. It’s sufficient to just avoid app stores, there is no need for childish shorthand.

Also, I don’t see how you are providing anything here resembling a “guide”. You’re stating an opinion, which is fine, but that’s not a guide.

Unsure what you want to accomplish exactly, but if all you need is just literally to share your desktop and the sound from it, OBS Studio is great for that. It doesn’t even matter if whatever video platform you’re using supports screen sharing, you can just do it yourself very easily using OBS’s dead-simple Virtual Camera feature.

If you’re like me, and you have no idea what Openclaw is, and noticed that the project linked doesn’t explain it either: Openclaw is apparently some sort of AI bot that performs tasks on your personal data without your input.

I also feel like if a government says that its nation’s security relies on lying to their citizens, then that’s not a government worth keeping anymore.
