None for the male to male especially, because there is no way to involve it in a hot system that doesn’t involve having an exposed prong carrying the receptacles voltage. The female to female is still dangerous, but doesn’t inherently expose the circuit to whatever is in the environment.

Most Lemmy etiquette is pretty easy to follow. Just check the sidebar for rules before you post or comment. Etiquette is slightly varied among instances, but generally be nice and you’ll do fine. You may catch bans from communities you don’t participate in depending what you post, but try not to pay it to much mind.

Some instances or communities are explicitly heavily moderated (see Blahaj, Beehaw, and others) and preemptively ban people for comments and posts elsewhere. Most likely it’s nothing personal, and you wouldn’t have gotten much from those communities if you are posting counter to their purpose.

Other than that enjoy your time here!

Good catch on Redhat. That is a family I’ve never used. Out of the ones I’ve used Pacman was my favorite, but Nix has been pretty good to me so far as well. I’ll have to try out a dnf system next

Seems like Mint is the consensus and I don’t disagree. Just some things to consider when choosing:

1. Desktop Environment/Window Manager (DE/WM) this is the software responsible for displaying your desktop and managing the opening and closing of graphical windows. Window managers are very bare-bones and might offer an experience significantly different than Windows. (See tiling WMs). Desktop environments do the same and more, and are often bundled with launchers and useful default programs like terminals and editors.

2. Package manager. Package managers are responsible for managing your installed software. There are a variety of options, and distros typically will choose one as their default. Pacman for Arch, Aptitude for Debian, RPM for RedHat, and others. These are mostly interchangeable for the end user, but each has slightly different commands and frontends. So just be aware there will be a bit of an extra learning curve moving from a distro that uses one to a distro that uses another.

3. Release cycle. Different distros offer different styles of releasing updates. Ubuntu and Debian periodically release updates in a cycle with major and minor releases. Some releases are marked for long term support and others marked as short term. Upgrading releases has been hit or miss for me, so I prefer rolling release distros. These distros don’t distinguish major releases and simply upgrade in place. Each has it’s own advantages, just be mindful of how often you will have to upgrade.

One of the creatures I’m most worried about meeting camping or hiking is a moose. If they had a moose’s temperament they would have been one of the most terrifying things to walk the earth. They would also probably be getting hammered off fermented prehistoric fruit

Feels like Judge Dredd

As a child we always did the girls cook and boys clean method, which isn’t as bad as it could be, but still leaves a lot to be desired. Instilled that boys need to be part of the work, but needlessly gender divided the work anyway 😐

Toke it on the I.S.S. (International Space Station) 🌬

All the time! I love to sing little snippets of songs with their names swapped in. To the tune of Whatever Lola Wants

Whatever [pet name] wants, [pet name] gets, don’t you know you, can’t win?

Or just something to describe what they’re doing. Big fan of Been caught stealing by Jane’s Addiction for that

Its not good against individuals, but it keeps this from becoming a space where they can congregate and try to attract people in the pipeline already.

Of course people aren’t automatons, but people can and do often unconsciously mirror and internalize things they see as normal in a community. Defederation does do a good job of keeping the bulk of Lemmy from being a Nazi bar, so that will happen less here. Its not a perfect solution, but its better than reddit in that regard.

I don’t know why you keep bringing up tankies, you do realize they founded the site right? I don’t think that gives them any special right to be here, but its also hard to imagine Lemmy without tankies. Its a part of what makes the space unattractive to fascists, and I’m not going to pretend I don’t enjoy seeing Hexbears tear their posts into pieces. I think the numbers of tankies here is a lot lower than some users would have you believe, and the main instances are largely defederated or default blocks. I’m fairly content with how that is working out.

As for the rest, you won’t be able to debate fascism into the ground. Fascists have to be crushed through collective action. People differ on what that would look like, in my ideal we would band together march through the streets and dismantle the engines of war that fascists rely on. Burn the factories, abolish their institutions, and set about the work of preparing the world for climate disasters. They’re not going to fall over and stop being fascists because of perfect inescapable logic. They’re going to stop being fascists when the tools they would use to oppress us both physical and cultural are broken and they see they cannot win. Your debate tactics will have a place breaking their cultural tools, but it has to be accompanied by a large enough unified front to make fighting back infeasible, and the removal of avenues for them to retake control by physical destruction of weapons, weapons manufacturing, and vehicles of war including those used by the police.

What fascists? They’re rarely here.

Yeah, that was my point when I said it was already in a better situation than Reddit with defederation. They’re rarely here because they get quickly defederated. It’s part of why I’ve stayed.

Tankies, too? They’re already here.

Yeah and they’re also mostly defederated too

I want Lemmy to do a better job than reddit at keeping fascists from being free to spread their poison. Lemmy is already better at this with defederation, but its something to keep an eye on always.

I think it would be cool if Lemmy were a bit bigger than it is now. Enough of a population to keep niche communities moving would be great, but Lemmy at its current size is a nice escape from a lot of the political landscape you see on Reddit or Twitter.

Alan Tudyk is gold, and this show is so much fun. It gets better as it goes, and the representation is really solid

Had the opposite experience tbh. Dad was banned from teaching us driving because he was too strict

That and more really. You could use it to do a green screen effect, but you can also use it to adjust color balance, brightness or do weirder things like swapping values between colors. It gets really crazy when you are working with full video because the time of the current frame is also available to be incorporated, so you can even do animated effects.

Another powerful filter is the convolve filter. That allows you to apply matrix transformations, which can for example be used to apply a homography matrix and adjust a videos perspective.

Well for instance you can use it to apply tranparencys or other effects using the geq filter. It applies a formula to every pixel in the input and can adjust alpha, rgb values, and gamma. You can also use conditionals in your formula and have access to the current pixels location and value, so you can apply your transforms only to specific regions if you want, or do an adjustment keyed only to a specific color.

Ffmpeg has been such cool software to learn. Simple filter chains can do incredible things
