I don’t know about that, somehow doubt there’s a statistically significant difference in the population of gay fascists vs gay everyone else. I think given how they’d surround themselves with, they likely would hide it under the guise of sexual fantasy, but that doesn’t make them not gay, it just Makes them a gay coward.

You can just do things. There’s no real rules.
Once I used some jewelry wire to connect pins from a vga port on my PC to pins on the svideo port on my tv. Worked fine. It was black and white but I had a display.

Re: xbox
You need drivers for it.

While the package names and how to install them will be different since you’re on mint, this section in the Arch wiki discusses your options for Xbox controllers.

Xone is the one I’ve needed instead of xpadneo to get the xbox wired headset working with them.

If you like Offset sticks, the Xbox elite series controllers are phenomenal, it will require additional drivers.
I prefer my sticks aligned, so I usually use my custom DS4 from scuf.
Sometimes I like my stadia controller, it just feels nice in the hands.
I hate the switch pro Controller, it feels… Off somehow.
For retro gaming I use an OG Xbox controller (custom USB bodge job) or my 8bitdo sn30pro+ while I like the 8bitdo, its bluetooth is Unreliable so I recommend using a cable.

Looks like a stamdard slice of sara lee or oroweat. Neither of which are really bread and are more like bread flavored cake. But yes, its bigger than normal sandwich bread.

- Comment on It's OK to just like lemon water. 1 week ago:
Just an aside, you can make Alkaline lemon water.
It do it:
- Peel a lemon using a vegetable peeler
- Squeeze the bits of peel (pith side up) into a glass or bottle. This allows you to express the oils from the peel.
- Add your Alkaline water to the Glass, the oils will rise to the top, some of it (very little as oils are hydrophobic) will mix with the water, giving it a lemon flavor similar to lacroix.

My GG-Grandpappy from Hungary (was it Austria-Hungary when he left?) did the same thing. I only ever met him once before he passed but I distinctly remember not understanding a word he said unless he was cursing.

Compare: Both are fruit, both are roughly round, both have stems.
Contrast: The one on the left is redder and less shiny than the on the right. The stem on the right is green and less woody than the one on the left fruit.
Additional research necessary, consider vivisecting the fruits to see how their internals compare and contrast.

Oranges have a thing wax-like outer layer. Apples have it too but its duller.
- Comment on PC Master Race 2 weeks ago:
I went for a lower end GPU from the previous generation at the time, a GTX 1650 the types of game I was playing at the time accomadated that decision.
- Comment on PC Master Race 2 weeks ago:
I’ll chime in:
Since purchase at $1200 for a custom build in 2020, I’ve spent $500 upgrading storage and my video card for my PC. It can push most modern games at 80fps with ray tracing on low and all other settings on high. Leveraging frame-gen it can do 2k120.
It also holds about 5TB of music and movies, and hosts them on a server which I can access anywhere via a URL pointed to my tunnel.
It also has a DAW, an IDE, and a Nextcloud instance, also accessable anywhere.
$1700 in for total liberation from the tech overlords is worth it. The 500+ games in the steam family library are just a bonus.
- Comment on Never buying milk from Walmart again 2 weeks ago:
I’d love to show you a video or something but everything I’m seeing online is super vague and the couple I watched to completion to see if they showed what I’m talking about ended up being “dairy industry cares about cows” propaganda. The milk is moved from place to place by pipes, not by humans dumping it into vats who could make mistakes.
The only way it could make it through the whole process without homogenization on a standard line meant for homogenized milk is if the ultrafine mesh the milk is forced through to homogenize it were for some reason missing and the batch were sent through anyway, which shouldn’t be possible if proper Service In Place procedures are being followed (lockout tagout for out of service lines).
- Comment on Never buying milk from Walmart again 2 weeks ago:
I don’t want to get into the intricacies of milk processing for mass commercial scale, so I won’t explain the whole thing, but in short: no, it absolutely could not have missed that step.
- Comment on Never buying milk from Walmart again 2 weeks ago:
Virtually all supermarket milk in the US is homogenized, this is curdled due to spoilage.

Its 16, not 20, the earliest version “Cave Game Tech Test” was in May 2009.
-
They’re still actively pushing updates, a really big one is scheduled for the holiday season. Additional biomes and mini-bosses were added last year with structures hinting at development plans for a 4th dimension. The lighting engine is being actively redone.
Minecraft is absolutely not gearing down into abandonware mode.

To many, something like that does look like self defense right about now. Unfortunately the situation appears quite dire from within, I’m afraid someone will do something and make things worse with martyrization. I can’t say I won’t celebrate when I hear the news that his McDonalds encrusted veins couldn’t do the job anymore and he keeled over in the night (because I’m almost certain that’s how its going to happen)
- Comment on I'm so goddamn sick of this fat, orange, narcissistic asshole and I will celebrate when he dies 3 weeks ago:
Is it not cause to celebrate that the figurehead of one’s source of ire is eliminated?
Like, let’s pretend for a moment he isn’t human, not because he’s a disgusting vampire but because for this analogy he can’t be.
So like, let’s pretend for a moment that 10 years ago a robot, who’s programming is visible to the whole public, was elected to office. That robot has one goal, increase the GDP. Nevermind that GDP is a bad metric, nevermind that no intelligent programmer would design such a machine this machine was not borne of intelligence, it was borne of the desire to raise the GDP.
Ok, so President Robot decides the very first thing we need to do to raise the GDP, is start deporting anyone that doesn’t look like president Robot’s programmed self image, something like this 🎃. If your smile isn’t creepy enough, and you don’t have enough ridges on your head, president robot says you’re up next for deportation. Nevermind that you’ve been here your whole life, nevermind that your parent’s came here 40 years ago. You don’t have ridges and a creepy smile, get on the plane. Dont like it? Ok protest.
So, its been 8 years, president Robot’s team of robots managed to change the metrics by which it is determined who becomes the next leader. This was of course, done quietly and accross many places. President Robot’s team is thorough of course, and has managed to make the new minimum threshold to take office only around 45%, that’s WAY less than what they needed before. So now, president Robot can be re-elected using only the robots made to keep president robot in power instead of needing real people who need to be convinced because they have “needs” and “families” and “rent to pay”.
So when president robot suddenly, after years of the whole country saying “You’re neglecting president Robot’s maintenance” finally seizes up and can’t pump oil through it’s clogged cooling and lubrication system, I’m sure people will celebrate. NOT because the Robot is dead. NOT because they hate the robot. But because the Robot can’t hurt them anymore.
