So my fear of sharks has gotten better, and I don’t quite understand why.

Curious 🏳️‍⚧️

But anyhow, you’ve probably found me because you’ve seen one of my totally inconspicuous comments

I’m open to chat about these and other related things over on Matrix

miss_brainfarts,

Did you know that there are parasitic isopods that basically snuggle up inside a fishs mouth and become its tongue?

Weird little buggers

miss_brainfarts,

May I present to you, the longest german word where no letter repeats itself:

Heizölrückstoßabdämpfung

miss_brainfarts,

God damn it, I can’t see it as anything else now

miss_brainfarts,

Discord bridge would be a No from me tho, I wanna know beforehand if that ever happens

miss_brainfarts,

That’s because what you really need is a vintage AMP from the 70s or 80s

miss_brainfarts,

Now replay it with the one and only:

Tale of two Wastelands

miss_brainfarts,

Okay but Marco Pollo is a good pun, I like it a lot

miss_brainfarts,

Don’t worry, I’m working on growing my own

miss_brainfarts,

Fun fact:
This 3D model of Link is freely available under public domain, textured, rigged and everything. Didn’t get updated to work with Blender 4.0 though, so that’s a shame

Star Citizen's first-person shooting is getting backpack-reloading, dynamic crosshairs, procedural recoil, and other improvements to 'bring the FPS combat to AAA standard' (www.pcgamer.com)

Well, I mean, I would have launched it first (as an AAA game), but I’m no game developer. 🤷 And neither are they, from the looks of it. Good at perpetually raking in money for himself and his family, though!

miss_brainfarts,

Procedural recoil? So basically, random recoil you can never learn the patterns for?

miss_brainfarts,

I was under the impression that the ability to export a project as a multi-page pdf has been added not long ago, but I might have to check

miss_brainfarts,

Checked again to make sure, it’s not very straightforward because it’s not part of the Export menu:

You simply have to do File > save a copy and save it as a pdf.

miss_brainfarts,

Can I just say… Lancia Stratos

Oh, and the Detomaso Pantera GT5

miss_brainfarts,

Accessibility definitely needs more love, it’s an afterthought in most cases, at best.

miss_brainfarts,

I wish I could sleep for eight hours straight. Though I wouldn’t even mind waking up every now and then if I’d always fall asleep quickly in exchange.

miss_brainfarts,

They do provide an apk outside of the Play Store, that uses a Web Socket for push notifications. Not he best way of going about it, but hey, it exists.

miss_brainfarts,

It might be safe, it might work well and all, but it does defeat the point of 2FA, so I wouldn’t want people to even know about it before they explored undeniably better and safer options, like Authenticator apps for their phones.

But to be fair, many people around the world only have one single device, so 2FA becomes a difficulty. But that’s the point where I’m not knowledgable enough anymore to see what the best way of going about it is.

From my gut feeling, I’d rather put a dedicated TOTP App on a device than to use a browser extension.

miss_brainfarts,

2FA being on a separate device is simply the most secure way of doing it. An attacker who gets access to some passwords for my accounts can’t do a whole lot without also physically stealing my phone.

It’s simply an extra hurdle for malicious actors to go through.

Though I guess in most cases, having any 2FA at all will probably already turn off a majority of attackers.

miss_brainfarts,

I could’ve worded it better, that’s for sure.

An attacker needs some form of access to your separate device. That describes it more accurately.

miss_brainfarts,

Many services and companies argue that metadata is not personal data, but even if that were true by definition of the word, the means to correlate metadata to a real person have existed for how long now?

Just knowing that I receive messages, at certain times, in a certain app, might not be a lot on its own, but as soon as you cross-reference that with other users, it becomes a surveillance goldmine.

And that’s what many people seem to miss, I think.
Individually, there might not actually be much, depending on how you use your device. But the word individually gets thrown out the window in our world where everything is interconnected 24/7.

miss_brainfarts,

You can use Lemmy to comment on Peertube videos, which I think is nice

miss_brainfarts,

My Stallman Freedom Index is only a good 96

I’m a fraud :(

miss_brainfarts,

I’m gonna go AMD next time, but not before I ride my 970 all the way to the end

miss_brainfarts,

Everyone talking about Kafka here, but…

Yes, I wanna have a girls night out :D

miss_brainfarts,

Actual malware, too. Even if you uninstall it, so many different bits are left over that still happily run in the background and might report god knows what back to base

miss_brainfarts,

Stuff being free is hella convenient to me :D

On that note, are you free this evening?

miss_brainfarts,

Oh yeah, I know exactly what you mean.

I have so much passionate hate for Adobe, if their headquarters ever burn down, everyone who knows me will think I did it

miss_brainfarts,

Ok but seriously, Blender has being going like crazy ever since the 2.7 release. It is insane to me what this software can do today, while being FOSS

miss_brainfarts,

I think GIMPs biggest issue is that it still doesn’t have non-destructive editing with ajustment layers.

It’s the single most useful feature any kind of editing software can have. Not being able to use that makes any project that is more than a low-effort shitpost incredibly frustrating.

miss_brainfarts,

No wonder I’m not happy, my bootloader hasn’t failed me once

miss_brainfarts,

Reflex at 100 fps still won’t compare to 300 fps without Reflex though

miss_brainfarts,

Currently using a GTX 970 on EndeavourOS, I believe tuxclocker can do undervolting, haven’t tried it yet

miss_brainfarts,

I’ve put it through absolute overclocking hell, and it still runs as happily as it always did, so there’s that.

miss_brainfarts,

Reflex just shaves off the extra overhead you’d get from having the gpu run at its limit. It won’t make a low framerate have the same latency as a drastically higher one

miss_brainfarts,

Oh, absolutely. The higher-end you go, the more the product is tuned for balls to the walls power with no consideration for efficiency.

As the extreme example, the 4090 can deliver almost 94% of it’s full potential when limiting its power draw to about 70% and/or undervolting it.

(Not exactly sure about the numbers, but you get the idea)

miss_brainfarts,

I think I might be too dense to get what you mean, then
