title that doesn't give the punchline away
  • Also autistic person here - in terms of scents I can't stand strong smells like lavender, and roses. But I do like the smell of cherry blossoms and cinnamon.

    Texture also has an interesting effect - there are some textures that gives me fingernails on chalkboard level aversion. But other I enjoy a lot.

    Looks. I like boobs, I like butts, I like ladies who take care of themselves without being too skinny or overweight. - proportions matter. I like the look of the rear end of my car, and the fact that it has racing stripes. I like fender flares, but again, proportions matter. In terms of tech, I like copious, unicorn vomit amounts of RGB (I do lighting for my church - one of two things that keeps me at that church, the other being the people there feel like family and are lovely people)

    Food. I like most foods, but I have an aversion to watermelon, celery, zucchini and cucumber for the texture as much as taste. I also don't like raw tomatoes if they aren't sauced up in some way (like in a sandwich it needs a helping of sweet chilli) and mushy peas make me want to throw up.

  • I'm gonna have to downvote you on this.

    We ain't being a baby. Coriander/Cilantro is a genetic thing. You either love it, or you hate it. We can't help not liking it.

    I find it tastes like soap and overpowers everything it's put into. So if you want to know my experience, cut up a bar of soap and put it into your salad like it's some sort of weird cheese and try eating it. It's not a good experience.

  • I have 2 PCs

    my main one is full AMD running hyprland -5800X, 7900XTX, 32GB ram, etc.

    My second PC is solely used for streaming and is running an old GTX 1070 for encoding purposes.

    From what I can see, I've not really had any issues running hyprland on it. Though I will admit it doesn't do much beyond running Carla, OBS, Qpwgraph, Firefox, discord and jack_mixer on specially designated workspaces. And it streams soley via EVGA Xr1 Lite capture devices. It does have desktop-portal-hyprland, just in case I want to capture my stream PCs desktop, but I don't really use it much. It's connected as a second input to my secondary monitor, and has a mirrored display on a small touch screen so I don't have to swap monitor inputs too often, and can trigger scene changes with just a touch. The hardest part was getting the monitors to play nicely, as the touchscreen sits upside down.

    Full specs of my second PC, as it's quite old - Intel Core i5-4690, ASRock H97M pro4, 16GB Ram, EVGA GTX 1070, Intel 120GB SSD, 1TB WD Green 5400rpm HDD.

  • Western leaders trying to be relatable
  • I mean Trudeau has some plausible deniability in the way he's holding his hammer - he could be about to extract a nail.

    But Sunak? Either he has no idea what he's doing, or he's about to beat someone up with that hammer.

  • Yeah these people are so hypocritical
  • It's like "believe in God and he will provide" fuck that noise, we need action and belief. We need proactiveness. We need people to act not just believe.

    FFS, the only person who was only ever able to provide like that in the bible was Jesus. And there was always a prerequisite to it - he had to have something he could multiply - he didn't conjure wine out of nowhere, he needed water to convert. He didn't randomly produce the food for 5000 he needed fish and bread to begin with.

    Even in the bible people had to at least do the bare minimum for shit to happen. These guys are withholding even that and saying prayer is the answer. Like it's a cure all, it's not, and it never was.

  • Florida is about to erase climate change from most of its laws | Grist
  • From what I hear, it's left wing in the big cities, right wing everywhere else. And the electorates or whatever they call them are Gerrymandered so that the right wing areas have more voting power than the left wing. Basically the local government is doing everything they can to keep in power, shitty or not.

    Don't quote me though. I'm an Aussie and it's only my probably biased opinion.

  • British High Court rules Julian Assange won’t be immediately extradited; next appeal hearing will be May 20
  • We don't, but our government seems to think we do. Seriously if we were any further up America's ass, we'd be licking the back of America's throat.

    That said, sometimes I feel like we're the rope in a tug of war between America and China. Though the majority of time America's winning.

  • Quicksave is truly our savior
  • Conversely, failing to quick save us the bane of our existence.

  • North Texas man changes name to 'Literally Anybody Else,' is now running for president
  • Honestly, considering how much of a meme Trump's presidency seemed to be (at least as an Australian that's what it appeared to be - I wouldn't be surprised if people voted for him for the meme at the time), having someone named "literally anybody else" on the ballot seems like a great way to get votes if only for the meme.

  • Midwesterners looking for something interesting to do on the weekend
  • Going through some of those parts, chances are some of them are probably unsealed - though I suspect google maps will always generally try to pick the sealed roads.

    As for petrol stations... Yeah keep a few Jerrys with you, just in case, as well as a spare full size tire or two (space savers are a bad idea in the outback) as well as a toolbox, with basic tools, hose clamps, etc. and plenty of drinking water/snacks. Maybe even a few packed lunches.

    The nullaboar (Latin for "no tree") plains along the coast of south/western Australia are well known for having the one long, straight, featureless Eyre highway with a whole lot of space Between petrol stations. The most dangerous thing about those roads is fatigue from looking at the constant unchanging scenery for hours at a time. The second is running out of fuel or breaking down - where you gotta hope you've got the shit to fix stuff, because it's highly unlikely you'll see a friend on the road for at least an hour or two, if not longer.

    It's so long that there are three designated airstrips on the highway designed for emergency landings and air ambulances (royal flying doctor service FTW - seriously, those guys deserve all the praise, true heros)

  • Christian TV evangelicals fire up Trump support with messianic message
  • God I swear the American Christians are fucking insane.

    I've never heard such BS before. At least not from any church I know here in Australia.

  • Google Allows Creditors to Brick Your Phone
  • If it's unremoveable its probably been installed from the beginning.

  • Friends don't let friends buy HiDPI displays
  • Interesting, if it's a native Wayland app, I'd guess the issue is just gnome problems then - from what I hear gnome is one of the poorest DEs for Wayland use, mainly because they refuse to support things the same way that everyone else agrees to, if at all. And they take a fair amount longer to deliberate and agree how to implement anything they do decide to support.

    I'd think of looking at KDE, which is very functional at this point, or a wlroots based Compositor/WM, - hyprland seems like one of the more well supported window managers out of the ones using wlroots.

  • Friends don't let friends buy HiDPI displays
  • Let me guess... You're running an X.Org based WM/DE?

    X11 Doesn't support fractional scaling properly . So some DEs will simulate it by scaling the apps the same way you scale a rasterized image like a PNG or JPEG, and as a result everything looks blurry. You'll generally also have the same issue with XWayland apps on a Wayland display.

    The best way to combat this? Try to use Wayland native apps as much as possible.

    2nd best? Use non fractional values for scaling (x1 or x2 instead of x1.25)
