I know I'm very late to the party and any comment in a thread with 200+ posts is like yelling at the void.

BUT

My experience with Windows has hardly been "it just works". In fact it has been a history of decades of tinkering and messing around with it to try and get it to do what I want.

The only difference is that Windows obscures everything, so when something breaks it does so quietly. Meaning you might not notice... Or. More likely. It'll just crash out and you don't even have an error code to google.

This isn't to say that Linux isn't a balancing act of constant maintenance. It is. Just... The Windows experience was never "better" for me from that angle. And... On some level, I enjoy all the tinkering. I think all Linux folks do.

We have a term here in Brazil, for appointed "job" positions that seem to have no responsibilities and are basically a way for rich people to place their relatives and such in places close to power:

Aspone. Assessor de Porra Nenhuma. Translates to like "Advisor of Fucking Nothing"

I'd have to relearn a bunch of shit.

Don't feel up to it. I'm so used to my setup.

Even using SteamOS ("Arch but we modded it to be sorta kinda like an immutable distro but not really") miffs me more than it should.

In conclusion, your experience here can be what you make of it; don’t be afraid to just block the parts that stress you out. You’re not β€œcreating an echo chamber” as everyone likes to say (often in bad faith) – you’re just taking care of yourself.

We really, REALLY need to de-stigmatize blocking people. Bad-faith concern trolls have successfully convinced people that "choosing not to interact with someone" is akin to censorship and also bad for us because what do you MEAN you don't want to be disrespected by a complete stranger? Are you creating an echo chamber by preferring to be with people who are nice to you?!?!?!?

Like. No. Fuck off. That's not how it works in real life. We're not friends. We're not even co-workers for me to be stuck having to be polite to you even if you're an asshole.

You're a complete stranger and you're saying rude shit at me (or even at other people with me bearing witness), at best I'll walk away because I don't need that shit, at worst I'll call you a wanker and hit you in the face.

I know this isn't quite the proper forum for asking this, but I can't think of any other place. Looking for a site where I can post little videos to share on Lemmy Meme Communities. A -- Non-youtube-y place.

Bonus points if it plays nicely with Lemmy, opening on apps and such.

Title. It's very easy to find films in the original language or subbed. The megathread has plenty. But I want to build up a collection of kid-appropriate and Brazilian dubbed films for my nephew.

The two mainstream ones are out of development. I live under rocks, but not so many rocks that I don't know this.

I was hoping for either a backup of them as they were, or some fork(s) that continued development.

 

On Windows, if you click MMB on some windows, your mouse cursor will turn into a little ↕️ icon, and then you can scroll by moving the mouse cursor up and down, with it going faster the further you drag away from the position it was originally at.

This is one (1) behaviour I miss from Windows. Hours upon hours of scroll-wheeling makes my joints quite tired.

But well. Linux is nothing if not customisable, so I'm wondering if there's a way to recreate this behaviour on it.

I'm on KDE Plasma.

Title. Bought a new Logitech G502 Hero mouse, and it has a button that is meant to be a "DPI Shift", which is to say that while held it sets the DPI to a value, and when released, returns it to a previous state.

Now, when loading up piper it recognises the mouse, and all its buttons, and I can set things up just fine, but I couldn't find a mapping that specifically acts as the DPI Shift like it does on Windows. Is this just not supported?

EDIT: It is solved! Thanks to @Blizzard@lemmy.zip for the idea. Though it DOES suck that I had to boot into my windows install to change the settings.
