Hey guys. I have a steam link I’ve used for quite some time. But I’m wanting to figure out a solution that is similar but grants full PC control. I have my main PC hardwired and a steam link and monitor out in my garage I’m routing to with a power line adapter that works pretty great. But it has a lot of issues when minimizing steam to use as a full PC. I have a mini pc N100 I planned on using as a router. But would be happy to swap to use for this if possible.

I've wanted to try it for a long time, but never got around to it. I'm curious about any techniques that are more grass roots outside of the commercialized space, like what are the absolute minimum things needed when repeatability, convenience, and time are not important factors, but money and access to rare markets is extremely limited? What have you made before? Like: - a (blank) makes a good screen, or (blank) is an alternate technique to screens - (blank) can work as a replacement for emulsion - (blank) is an alternative for ink I'm personally interested in printing on t-shirts, but also printing silkscreens on circuit boards.

Fake Dentist perhaps? Something about getting cavities filled. Fake McDonalds? Not sure.

When I was a kid, like a real little kid, I remember having this one song I liked a lot about a guy trying to deal with getting wedgies at school. I remember almost nothing about it now, other than the guy eventually finds that Fruit of the Loom brand underwear has stretchy enough elastic to make the wedges painless. (This song is the reason I kept bugging my parents to get me Fruit of the Loom brand underwear instead of other brands.) Now I can't seem to find the song. The only reason I know it existed is because my parents also remember my weird brand loyalty to Fruit of the Loom because of that song. Can any of you guys help me find the underwear song that defined my childhood?

Since whales are teaming up with each other to take down yachts and teaching others how to do it I thought this would be a fun question. If a majority of intelligent enough sea animals that could communicate with each other teamed up to mess with human activities in the sea who would win. By the way for people that say that humans would obviously win we have already lost a war against emus before.

I understand that our local galaxy group is considered "gravitationally bound" and therefore exempt from the expansion from each other ((, but we don't seem to have other galaxies collected into their own "local groups" of gravitationally bound clusters, so are we saying we're somehow unique? Is there a trick of perception taking place?)) <---**edit:this is wrong** I found this quote in the Wikipedia article on the [Expansion of the universe](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Expansion_of_the_universe). > While objects cannot move faster than light, this limitation applies only with respect to local reference frames and does not limit the recession rates of cosmologically distant objects. It seems to me that if we can perceive at cosmological distance something that cannot exist, perhaps we are *falsely* observing an expanding universe. Maybe everything IS gravitationally bound and we're just seeing expansion because... Relativity?

Body positivity is such a strange concept to me. There's efforts to reclaim words while simultaneously calling them bad if used as an insult. Ideally, people wouldn't be offended by someone describing their body with common descriptors, but socially there is so much value attributed to certain body types that it's almost impossible to avoid having an emotional response of some kind to various descriptors. For example, It's not bad to be fat, but calling someone "fat" is almost universally considered a bad thing. The same definitely seems to go for the idea of being "short." I'm asking this question because I can't put my finger on why but something seems to be different about the use of the term "short" from the use of the term "fat." I think that part of it is how, to me at least, the term "fat" is so generic and hard to nail down to a discrete definition, implying that the word really doesn't have a clear connection to reality. On the other hand, height is a single-dimensional number. You either are above a certain threshold, or you aren't. I recently learned that May 6th to May 10th is "short king week" because it's 5'6" to 5'10" which then prompted me to search for the origins of "short king" and apparently the person most-credited with popularizing the term is Jaboukie Young-White who claims the term was meant to include all men under 6 feet tall. The average adult male height is 5'9" leaving men considered roughly average to be called "short" which is still considered an insult by many. I dunno. As a term that was intended to champion body positivity compared with how the term is actually used, what do you think of "short king?"

So in the whole anti-natalism/pro-natalism conversation (which I'm mostly agnostic/undecided on, currently), my friend who is a pro-natalist, argued that the success/stability of our world economy is dependent on procreating more children each year than the previous year, so that we not only replace the numbers of the people who existed from the previous generation (and some, to account for the statistical likelihood that many won't have children or will be sterile or die young etc), but also ensure that the population keeps growing in order to produce more and more human labor to "pay back the debts" of previous generations, because all money is borrowed from somewhere else... this is all very murky to me and I wish someone could explain it better. She is also of the view that this will inevitably lead to population collapse/societal/civilisation collapse because we live on a finite Earth with finite resources that can't keep sustaining more humans & human consumption (and are nearing critical environmental crises), but that there isn't any other option than to keep producing more children because a declining population wouldn't be able to support itself economically either. Basically the idea seems to be that economically & societally we're on a collision course for self-destruction but the only thing we can do is keep going and making increasingly more of ourselves to keep it running (however that as individuals, we should be plant-based & minimalist to reduce our impact to the environment, non-human animals and humans for as long as possible). And she is worried about the fact that fertility rates are falling & slated to reach a population peak followed by a decline in the relatively near future. As I said I'm not sure how I feel about this view but at first glance I think that the effect of having fewer children in providing relief upon the environment and helping safeguard our future is more important than preserving the economy because destroying the actual planet and life itself seems worse than economic downturns/collapses, but I really don't know enough about economics to say for certain.

As a follow-up, is there signs that the internet/technology may play a role in making a better society for all?

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 women or darker skinned people of any gender! Idk if I just don't know as many actors in those demographics, or if it's just harder to break into Hollywood as a weird looking person without also being white and male, but it's probably some combination of the two. What're y'alls suggestions?

Are CompTIA certifications still a viable way to get back into IT? I left the workforce at the start of 2020 to be a stay at home and I'm wanting to get recertified so I have options if I want to reenter the workforce. Thoughts?

For example, I have kept the habit of washing my hands with soap, first thing when I come home.

I'm thinking seriously about getting Google out of my life, and trying NextCloud. Looking to get a personal account through a managed provider. Does anyone have any experience with it? How does it compare to ownCloud? Any hosts I should look at or avoid? Any apps I should get for it, or avoid? Any issues I should be aware of before I switch?

For me : Trippie Redd's "!" Is actually a great album

Currently I'm using #, but it causes issues with certain applications. Example: ``` #Top Folder Games Music New Folder Pics ``` Currently using mostly Windows, but trying to transition to Linux, so a solution that works for both would be perfect. Thanks, Lemmy!

Is it a 'thank you for prepping my room' or 'please clean my room today'? If you tip post cleaning, it's likely going to someone else the next day. Many hotels now only do housekeeping on demand. How do employees feel about this - do they miss the tips or are they happy for a less stressful workday? ETA- I'm in the US. Does the rest of the world tip housekeeping? I always have when traveling because I do at home, but I don't know what the norm is.

Is the Tower of Babel still affecting us or something? Edit: We have 8 billion people, yet the best we could muster for the most total speakers of a language is under 2 billion, including non-natives... > 1. English (1,452 million speakers) > First language: 372.9 million > Total speakers: 1.4+ billion > According to Ethnologue, English is the most-spoken language in the world including native and non-native speakers. https://www.berlitz.com/blog/most-spoken-languages-world#:~:text=1.,English%20(1%2C452%20million%20speakers)&text=According%20to%20Ethnologue%2C%20English%20is,native%20and%20non%2Dnative%20speakers.

What I mean is: some boolean flags are perfect for the real world phenomenon they are representing e.g. is_light_on makes you understand perfectly that when it is true the light is on and when it is false the light is off. There are other cases in which if you didn't write the code and you don't read any additional documentation, everything is not clear just by looking at the variable name e.g. is_person_standing, when true it's clear what that means but when false, is the person sitting? Lying? Kneeling? I'm obviously not talking about cases in which there are more states, boolean would of course not be a good solution in those cases. I'm talking about programs in which there are only two states but it's not obvious, without external knowledge, which ones they are.

It’s annoying seeing the same headlines numerous times linking to same stuff because it’s cross posted to 3+ instances. Is there a setting to reduce that or app that handles that well?

I've seen a lot of people on here be teased for difficulty expressing themselves. Either people complain "you're using big person words to describe mundane things" when they're aiming for precision or "woah, we don't need that damn wall of text" when they're aiming for clarity. It's like people just want to complain.

Most entries in lemmy's RSS feed have a <link> that points to the relevant lemmy post eg ``` Title: Any DE or distro without touch support? Author: https://lemmy.ml/u/tarius Date: Wed, 15 May 2024 01:24:59 AEST Feed: Lemmy - linux Link: https://lemmy.ml/post/15632012 ``` That makes sense - clicking the link takes me to the conversation. Other entries however, include a link to the subject of the conversation eg ``` Title: Wayland usage has overtaken X11 Author: https://lemmy.world/u/KISSmyOSFeddit Date: Tue, 14 May 2024 03:30:46 AEST Feed: Lemmy - linux Link: https://lemmy.world/pictrs/image/a71c1b49-fb63-420d-8afc-d40661ffd79c.png ``` The feed I'm using is https://lemmy.ml/feeds/c/linux.xml This is unfortunate as clicking the link in my reader (elfeed) does not show the conversation - I rely on the <link> to take me there. elfeed being built in elisp in emacs, I have been able to concoct a fix especially for lemmy - but it really feels like a bug in lemmy as no other feed needs it. Where can I report it or discuss it?

Sorry this is kinda political. Is there an asklemmypolitics group this would be better for? I'm hoping not to get into the libs vs progressives political debate we see everywhere on here... Just want to know what people are actually looking for.

This is intended as a very abstract philosophical question. Like Einstein with relativity was inspired by a man falling from a roof and a moving train. Most creative ideas seem to boil down to a person moving ideas across domains. Do you think this is always true even if the person is unwilling to admit the root thoughts, or perhaps they are completely unaware of the connections they subconsciously made? Is there truly a provably unique thought or is everything a product of experience?

Now that the Reddit exodus is about a year old and the client apps have matured, what's the latest state of the above question? What app do you use and why? I'm mainly interested in Android but suggestions for other platforms are also welcome. And if you are using multiple platforms, what's your primary one?

It has always amused me that the tourists to the US that I’ve spoken to are often very excited to see raccoons, and disappointed if they don’t see them before they leave. Some others I’ve noticed on the east coast of the US are blue jays and cardinals. Boy, do people get excited about those if they’ve never seen them before! Very pretty birds of course, just very easy to get used to and see as uninteresting as well.
