I have never met, seen, or even heard about this mythological centrist that isnt a hard righter in disguise.

and everything you just laid out as examples are heavily used by said hard righters in online discourse (even the ones pretending to be centrists).

    Bullshit.

    The general public always had that information. Its why I've personally hated him since the fucking 90s. Since fucking paypal he was known as a cunt. Same with Peter Thiel.

    People just put blinders on because they got big boners over electric cars and martian habitats. Cause thats the real issue here. Its not that people didnt know, Its that people willfully ignored, as they always do, because they wanted their neat shinies. Unfortunately for them, Musks miserable, worthless, cunt behavior continued to grow and get worse until they couldnt maintain their willful ignorance.. The same willful ignorance that they now try to hide behind to pretend they didnt know what he was, to justify giving him the money to become what he is.

    If you didnt know what a piece of shit he was, its because you averted your eyes, because the information has always fucking been there, willfully ignored, but its fucking been there.

    The much more sensible approach is to either have a separate phobe for travelling, that has nothing you care about on it

    and people have gotten in trouble for that, too, for having a travel phone, a phone that was too clean, etc etc.

    Because its not about the phone. Its about stealing data. pictures for facial recognition, contacts so they can map groups, communications so they can search for whatever bullshit excuse they want to string people up.

    This isnt about law. its not about protection people/the country.

    Its about being fascist dicks to undesirable groups of people. Aint seen one motherfucker on the epstein list, one motherfucking CEO, or any trump cockface have their phone seized by border patrol to steal any data.

    You sure they werent just looking for cameras?

    Cause any time a woman approaches me in public (which isnt very often, before i sound like some bragging fool), especially if its to say something nice/complimentary, my immediate thought is someones trying to record my reaction to put on some tiktok bullshit video.

    I dont even register their appearance, I just quickly look for the Camera, mutter something quietly, and get the fuck away as quick as I can.

    Not tryin to say assholes don't exist, there is an overabundance of assholes in the world afterall.

    I've used these for years to fuck around/experiment with games I've played to excess (single player games with no ranking/etc/etc where my screwing around could give me any kind of advantage, to be clear), and had no problem getting it running/doing what I want..

    Until recently... The only thing that changed was that my OS (Nobara, Fedora based) updated from 42 to 43, and now suddenly Cheat Engine (used via steamtinkerlaunch) and PINCE (Native linux cheat engine-alike) stopped working. Even on old games I successfully used them to screw around with in the past. Yes I select the proper process.

    Memory View shows nothing but question marks, value searches that used to work fine don't return anything anymore. Like, it can see the process, but has no access to muck around in the memory itself.. Since it happened with an OS update, I can only assume that something changed in the backend thats interfering with these things running, but I'm not a Sysadmin/IT specialist, I'm just a random user, so I've tried to figure this out myself via internet searches and the like, but I've come up blank on everything I've tried.

    Anyone else out there with a similar experience who could provide some aid on the issue?

    Thank you for reading.

     

    I've seen people report the prices were 70/50, and i'm wondering if the immediate hostility cause them to knock it down 10 dollars each before I could get to steam to see it.

    Whats your guys opinion on this? I think the prices are ludicrously stupid and detatched from reality.

     

    Upscaling and Frame Generation are disasters meant to conceal unfulfilled promises from GPU makers for 4k gaming, and as a coverup for the otherwise horrible performance some modern games have, even at 1080/1440p resolutions.

    Upscaling will never, no matter how much AI and overhead you throw at it, create an image that is as good as the same scene rendered at native res.

    Frame Generation is a joke, and I am absolutely gobsmacked that people even take it seriously. It is nothing but extra AI frames shoved into your gameplay, worsening latency, response times, and image quality, all so you can artificially inflate a number. 30FPS gaming is, and will always be, infinitely better as an experience, than AI frame doubling a 30fps experience to 60FPS.

    and because both these technologies exist, game devs are pushing out less optimized to completely unoptomized games that run like absolute dogshit, requiring you to use upscaling and shit even at 1080p just to get reasonable frame rates on GPUs that should run it just fine if it was optimized better (and we know its optimization, because some of these games do end up getting that optimization pass long after launch, and wouldnt you know.. 9fps suddenly became 60fps)

     

    I have no idea where to post this, I assumed..since its a gaming mouse, the gaming linux community would be appropriate, Apologies if I am mistaken.

    I have a g502 hero, and it is giving me no end of grief.. namely with regards to the DPI settings.

    First and foremost, it just randomly resets itself to an absurdly high DPI

    I use Piper, since everything I've found online says Piper works great for g502 mice on linux, and while I can use it to set the colors of the LEDs.. the DPI settings just don't stick.

    I've tried setting all the DPI options to the same DPI I prefer, Doesnt work. I've tried disabling all the DPI settings except one, and doesnt work. I've even tried running piper via sudo and the DPI settings still don't change on the mouse (they change in Piper, though)

    It seems like nothing I can set, as far as DPI goes, works. I know it is communicating with the mouse cause, like I said, I can change the LED colors and button configs.. but the DPI settings just wont stick, and worse, randomly change.

    and I know, I say random, and some people might thing I'm accidentally hitting the resolution up button since its right there next to m1, but I'm not. I can have the DPI set, via the DPI up/down buttons on the mouse, then get up and walk away.. and when i come back, its back at absurd meth speed again.

    Its genuinely not only driving me nuts, but really screwing with my ability to play games.

    If anyone has any suggestion or solution, can you please share them with me?

    If you got this far, then thankyou for reading this half rant half, half tech plea.

     

    I was cleaning out my project closet the other day and I found an entire bottle of resin for my printer, still sealed and unopened... but it is several years old at this point.

    I didnt see an expiration date or anything on it, so I just wanted to ask before I open it and potentially make a huge mess... Does Resin Expire or otherwise go bad with time if its factory sealed? or in general?

     

    These are straight, parallel roads (made with a single drag, so no like, plop a section, then plop another section) on a flat surface. and I keep getting weird gaps and misalignment and other stuff that is observably minor but is making me want to rip my goddamn fucking hair out with how its screwing up symmetry and other stuff.

    The only thing I can find about this is to disable various snappings and to make sure the land is flat. I have redrawn this area like 2 dozen times trying various combinations of snapping and not snapping settings and it still does this same damn shit, and the land is flat.
