We’re already past the “spreading awareness” stage. Now it’s time to do something about legally sanctioned robbery.

I’m both fat and tall. None of my fucking clothes have consistent sizes that fit. I’m not the least bit surprised that the clothing industry’s greatest minds were defeated by breasts.

Visual Studio for live .NET debugging and the WPF live editor.

The fandom takes cosplay and immersion very seriously.

Leaded fuel. Avgas is 100-octane leaded gasoline that is still being used by most small aircraft piston engines. Lead-free alternatives exist, but production and supply infrastructure is nonexistent.

Sony is the biggest fucking security risk in this entire deal, what the fuck

I despise micro-USB with a passion. Even more than mini-USB. It is so flimsy, it’s always been the first thing to die on my wireless devices, including my older phones.

If a device charges through USB, I consider not having USB-C to be a deal breaker. Right now I’m waiting for a USB-C socket breakout panel because I want to convert my Xbox One controller from micro to C.

It’s because xbox’s naming scheme is fucking stupid.

It’s not markdown, those are different unicode characters. https://cursivegenerator.net/

By the way, you can view the markdown source of comments and text posts. There’s a “view source” button that looks like a document icon on the stock Lemmy UI.

The virgin .NET:

Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentCulture = System.Globalization.CultureInfo.InvariantCulture;
Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentUICulture = System.Globalization.CultureInfo.InvariantCulture;

The chad POSIX: LANG=C

You can call it 𝓜𝓮𝓻𝓭𝓮, but it’ll still taste like shit.

Republicans took to the streets in adult diapers when it was revealed that their geriatric rapist felon wannabe god had to use diapers, with the rallying cry “REAL MEN WEAR DIAPERS”. Never assume that their degeneracy has an upper limit because they’ll prove you wrong the next day.

Woah, tone down that rhetoric, Yosif!

Elephants. African elephants have large ears to assist in maintaining their body temperature. Asian elephants that migrated farther north (India and S-E-Asia) evolved smaller ears because the evolutionary pressure wasn’t as significant.

For comparison: African, Asian

Thanks, but that’s the same one that I found. It removes the power button from the start menu and disables the shutdown command, but the computer still responds to ACPI and even the keyboard’s power-off button.

There are use-cases where a computer should not be turned off by its user for the purpose of remote management. I’m dealing with one just as I’m writing this comment.

There’s an exam in a classroom. In 20 minutes I’ll have to run an ansible script to remove this group’s work, clean up the project directory, and rollback two VMs to the prepared snapshot to get ready for the next group. I’ve put a big-ass banner on the wallpaper telling the students not to shut down the computer, and already half of them are off.

Mainly because our students are idiots and will complain if the computer doesn’t turn off. Or worse, take independent action and hold the power button, or actually yank the power cable. Maybe I should just lean into it and convince them that the monitor is the computer.

Jokes aside, how could I implement such a policy? I’ve only found one that hides the power buttons from the start menu, but Windows still responds to ACPI.

As another IT guy at a university, having to manually turn on 30 computers in a classroom for updates or whatever is already a pain in the ass. Wake on LAN is not a reliable solution. Havin to manually flip over every box, then putting them down, and then fixing the cables that got yanked… I’d throw those fuckers in the trash.

The Dell Optiplex 3080 Micro’s form factor is perfectly tiny without compromising user comfort.

The 5V applies only to 4-pin type-A and type-B connectors.

USB Power Delivery over a regular USB-C-compliant cable delivers a variable current of up to 3A, using discrete voltages of 5V for up to 15W of power, 9V for up to 27W, 12V for up to 48W, and 20V for up to 60W.

Higher powers require dedicated USB PD-compliant cables that can handle up to 240W at a voltage of 48V.
