thanks, i wanted to comment something similar - training is necessary, and i would have been very pleased if someone told me that condoms are not a "one size fits all"-thing at all

I'm using a MSI Force GC30 V2, currently per usb, but it comes with a 2.4GHz adapter that works on the OG Steam Link, so it will probably work under any linux distro. XBox Layout, great battery life, shutoff is ca. 5 Minutes. Only drawback is the integrated battery, but i have not yet experienced much of a reduced battery life over the last 2 years. bonus: can be switched to an Android-compatibility mode for gaming on smartphones. costs 35€ currently, but the build quality is the same as the official xbox series controller (which i used exclusively before)

pegging is quite literally pushing shit good

if it's non-linear, maybe a reincarnation in a parallel universe without those grifters would be to your taste?

nobara is looking good too for games ;-)

i currently have something similar with video output: if i turn off my monitor and turn it back on too fast (or if i disconnect/reconnect it), now there is no more picture, and i have to reboot per remote shell to get it back.

oh well, at least there's an open issue in some github about it, so it will be fixed sometime in the future.

i switched to lemmy after seeing the crackdown after the blackouts where they just repo'ed subreddits that didn't stand down - it was clear then that internal forces would not be able to change a thing over there. i couldn't support a site that was doing shit like this. (It's the reason i keep pestering my wife to leave facebook and instagram after zucks kneefall for trump, and switch to pixelfed and bluesky instead; lemmy wouldn't be a good place for her, but i can see her enjoying pixelfed a lot)

It is definitely more successful than the previous strategy in one of the ancestors was (or else it wouldn't have been selected for), and mutations that reduce the dementia and allow for more reproductive cycles seen to negatively influence reproduction in either fitness or number of the offspring or chance of successful reproduction, so the trait persists.

Since this is a numbers game, even miniscule differences in reproductive success (which isn't clearly measurable in the wild) have a large impact on genetic drift.

Since the origin of the current behavior lies in the past, it might not be possible to see what evolutionary pressure induced the behavior in the first place.

there is a new in dev version of the vortex mod manager that does work under linux available under https://github.com/Nexus-Mods/NexusMods.App ... it's not complete yet, but it works for cyberpunk for me, check it out!

yeah, and you always can fall back to your clean, untouched installation :-)

@mudman@fedia.io

there is one company (paragon software) that sells ext2/3/4 (full access) and btrfs/xfs (read access only) drivers for windows, which worked pretty good for me, and they have a demo version for 7 days. price for consumer licences are about 30€. i didn't try putting my steam library there tho, so your milage may vary.

But i would recommend what i did a few monhst ago: after 3 days with nobara 40 i just deleted my windows and the few programs that don't work under linux now live in a VM; my mouse/keyboard software for creating macros only works under windows, but the profiles themselves are stored on the devices so they still work under linux.

I just love the BTRFS features like deduplication - its great for modding large games, saves huge amounts of disk space, and the merging of disks into a single drive in raid0 configuration is super easy and has great performance. NTFS feels just slow and sluggish in comparison.

something in the same direction can be found under https://blorpblorp.xyz/

It is a nightmare for pedestrian safety, those hard edges are a no go

OT: You reminded me that i never watched seaquest more than a few episodes and i will have to do that now. does it still hold up for someone who loved TNG and Voyager?

20 to be exact, 9 human, 7 dwarven, 3 elven and his own

Those 3% are not cases of "you might get it if unlucky", but cases of "failed to generate an strong enough immune response which leads to the formation of T-Memory Cells". So if you are in those "3%", the outcome of infection will be the same as in a person who is not vaccinated. That's one more reason why everyone who can should get the vaccine - to protect those who got the vaccine and are still vulnerable.

The targeted immune system takes a few days to create the right antibodies for a specific target, because antibodies are not made-to-fit, they are generated randomly until something sticks (quite literally). Those days are the difference between "virus infection gets crushed instantly" and "virus has enough time to replicate in unmanageable numbers". If you have Memory Cells, the immune system can "fast-forward" and can just skip to the fun part.

you might wanna take a look at https://everynoise.com/ and the side projects under https://everynoise.com/nrbg.html and https://everynoise.com/curio.html - it's from an ex-spotify employee. he also explains why the spotify-genre search has gone to shit - they replaced the human-curated genres with ML-learning based genres, which isn't great.

Yeah, measles are fucking dangerous. They enter through the lungs (or sometimes the eyes), infect cells there and get replicated. They then get scooped up by immune cells called macrophages (part of the generalized immune system, which can react instantly, but can only deal with the "easy" stuff).

Normally this destroys the virus and parts of the pathogen get then transported into the lymph nodes as samples to produce antibodies against (which are needed as targets for the adaptive immune system) . Instead measles jump out of the macrophages and infect the T-cells (one of those 7 types of T-cells are the memory cells, which are "veterans" of previous infections and get reactivated when the same virus pops up again, instantly providing the info which antibody is needed).

The memory cells get wrecked, and with that any immunities you had before AND the ability to produce antibodies for anything. you are immunosuppressed for about 2 years.

There was a study which linked a previous measles infection with about 90% of all illness-related child deaths in third world countries, and is suspected to have caused more deaths in the first world with the damage to the immune system than through measles themselves.

also, if you are very unlucky, you can slowly die years after the measles infection, being sick for about 3 years - it's called SSPE, and it has a 95% lethality rate, and the 5% normally have massive brain damage.

i studied molecular biology (and had to abort my studies about 2 semesters before getting my Bachelor), and the virology courses were fascinating and horrifying at the same time. antivaxxers are uninformed, stupid people, and deserve to experience the same suffering they cause in their children and in society in general.

sounds like !yepowertrippinbastards@lemmy.dbzer0.com would be a good place for you rn ;-)
