  • Love the all-handedness inclusivity of having two doorknobs.

    Ambidextrous people, rejoice! You now have a doorknob for every mood and situation!

  • I personally find it hilarious when people have slanderous conversations en español, thinking that none of the non-hispanic people in the vicinity understand them.

    Están equivocados. Lo aprendí como segunda lengua cuando mi hermano se casó, y agregamos venezolanos a la familia lol.

    It's adorable that someone world think that the fourth most widely-spoken language on the planet is a secret code that no one in public would possibly have a hope of comprehending 😆

  • My personal target is 105% of the performing mark, when I'm in a churn and earn job somewhere that I don't want to promote.

    That wiggle room is enough to keep me above the performing mark if there are any productivity impactors outside of my control that my company refuses to adjust for (that has happened to me in jobs before), and it also keeps me off of bottom-performer lists when layoffs roll through. And it's barely more than the bare minimum. Win / win / win.

  • Do these people even read their own books?

    No. I thought that was pretty obvious.

  • You have dug too greedily and too deep, and you have awoken the Balrant.

  • You're welcome! Though I'm genuinely bummed that it's not 100% fully working for you.

    One of the great things about the Deck is that we have essentially and functionally the same hardware and OS for our systems, so I was hoping that things like this just work the same for everyone... we don't have the challenges of the rest of the PC community, where every single person is running a different configuration of parts. 🙂

  • I'm sorry to hear that you were having issues setting up the docking script!

    Without seeing what you were doing, it's kind of tough to know where the issue was. I know I personally don't have to change anything with the resolution properties on mine to make it work, it still is set to Default for me. It's my correct resolution so I don't have to scroll anywhere, everything is exactly where it is in native (in fact I'm using it right now to access Firefox and be on Lemmy 🤗 )

    Were you able to change the height and width numbers in the script to match your monitor? The example I posted above is what I use for my 2560 x 1440 monitor, but you'll get a weird result if your resolution is something different and you don't change it.

  • If your dad went out for cigarettes one day and didn't return, he didn't abandon your family.

    He was actually kidnapped and fed to the AI so that it could extract the dad joke essence, to be able to do stuff like this.

  • Also, never answer the question, "Do you know why I pulled you over?" with anything that sounds like an admission. They're fishing and looking to have you confess to a traffic violation.

    The honest answer is "No, I'm not sure why you pulled me over," because it's true. There are a million motivations they might have come up with to pull you over, and you're neither psychic or telepathic.

  • Hey, I guess this means that my wife and I will be celebrating our first anniversary as a lesbian couple this month!

    What a fun world we live in now.

  • Update notes were like an encyclopedia of minor bug fixes and minor feature changes for things I'd never encountered or seen.

    I'm like, sure I guess ¯(ツ)/¯ and life goes on

  • Blame Ford, he started it when he issued pardons for any previously-committed but uncharged crimes done by Nixon.

  • Somehow, the thought of someone raised by AI being the modern day version of "raised by wolves" is hilarious to me.

  • Are you using the wireless dongle? Deck doesn't seem to support it by default; when I looked into it, people had to do stuff through the console in order to make the dongle be picked up through the Deck.

    I don't have an xbox controller, so I can't endorse what I found as being correct or safe... you have to give whatever it is system access, so be careful and look into it further so that you can make sure that you trust it.

    But basically I just searched xbox 360 controller steam deck and reached reddit posts and YT videos covering it. If you decide to proceed, make sure you're using current info, because apparently older methods expired when Steam OS went to 3.5... and maybe they did again going to 3.6, though I didn't see that mentioned. Good luck!

  • Listen really closely, and you'll hear the gentle whisper of the slight disturbance of the air as he gets his gentle, barely-touch-skin wrist slapping.

  • Correct, I wasn't saying that they'd put it in one spot.

  • No. Every single one of them could pull $100,000,000 out of their personal money circulation and just store it in various stupidly safe places that barely return the rate of inflation. For all I know, maybe they all do that.

    They have so much money that it'd be almost impossible to lose it all, but if they managed to do it somehow, then they could pull out that safe nest egg and still have more money than they could ever need in a lifetime. There's almost zero chance that they'll ever be poor.

  • You could argue that no one is ever truly remembered. Even people who are mentioned in history books and have their specific deeds remembered and preserved...

    ...within a couple of hundred years, there are no other humans left alive anywhere on the planet who personally knew said famous person. No one who knew them on any personal level, any more deeply that the handful of cold facts written down about them on record.

    We are meant to be forgotten. Just another thing we have to come to terms with regarding our existence.

  • Not for low-vision people or older people who have issues with the smaller screen. Could be a solution if someone like that ended up with a Steam Deck and didn't realize they'd have an issue with the smaller screen, and maybe they just have a spare travel monitor lying around.

    Also there's a contingent of people out there who just enjoy modifying stuff because they can. Don't knock it until you've tried it.
