So the Second Amendment is indeed redundant then.

Yeah, that whole second amendment thing turned out to be the joke we all thought. I’ve never known a nation to just roll over and take it as much as this bunch. They’re pathetic and their overlords obviously know it.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Would you drive differently as left-handed if wheel was on other side?
2·4 days agoI’ve driven both sides and there’s no difference, it just takes a little to adjust. I prefer a gearstick on the left, though, since my dominant hand is better at micro movements with the wheel and gear shifting is such a basic action. But really, the difference is barely noticeable.

news@lemmings.world•Clintons call for their Epstein testimony to be held publiclyEnglish
111·5 days agoWasn’t one of them that guy from like 30 years ago? I dunno what else they do. Most people retire when they retire but now this-… Oooooh, okay, they’re guilty.
Really? What an extraordinary conundrum. Best of luck!
People abusing people is no accomplishment. It is especially disgusting to pick a champion for it based on a physical trait.

Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•Sending someone LLM output in response to a question they ask is the intellectual equivalent of sending an unsolicited dick pic.

Did you try ChatGPT?
I do not miss social media and seeing this random shit.

Technology@lemmy.world•The upgrade argument for desktops doesn't stand up anymoreEnglish
201·10 days agoLet’s say that you’ve just significantly upgraded your GPU. If you were getting the most out of your CPU with your previous GPU, there’s a good chance that your new GPU will be held back by that older component. So now, you need a new CPU or some percentage of your new GPU’s performance is wasted. Except, getting a new CPU that’s worth the upgrade usually means getting a new motherboard, which might also require new RAM, and so on.
This guy’s friends should keep him away from computers and just give him an iPad to play with.

news@lemmings.world•Portugal’s conservatives back left-wing candidate to avoid a far-right presidentEnglish
2·10 days agoIt’s right there in the first paragraph. It’s an unsurprising move for groups closer to centricity than to want to support extremism.
To stop the explosive growth of the ultranationalist Chega party, Portugal’s leading conservatives are doing the previously unthinkable: endorsing the center-left candidate for president.
Centrists may be the biggest blockers of everything. But that includes everything.

Lemmy Shitpost@lemmy.world•I still haven't figured out how to do this
1·13 days agoI know where you’re coming from. I started in Corel, then into Macromedia which would later be absorbed into Adobe.
Modern day Illustrator still doesn’t follow the same governance of usability the rest did. Vectoring is just a standard tool in the belt. But the program it’s done in should expectedly have the same behaviours as the companioninh programs.
For example, vectoring in all other modern Adobe software has different keybinds, methods and behaviours to Illustrator. Things as simple as pathing in PS, AE, and ID is fine differently to Illustrator. Same shit, but different menus, windows, even cursor behaviours.
It’s like all the software that supports driving is left-hand drive. But the one that does it best is inexplicably left-hand drive and designed by a different manufacturer entirely.
I’ve always understood it as changing its legacy would disrupt the Illustrator base so hard that they just keep it MS Wordy. An application that functions as a rogue. But also why Illustrator is slowly falling out as vector artistry continues to be more irrelevant. Kind of like Dreamweaver’s early end days, but it’s still got plenty of legs left for a while.

Lemmy Shitpost@lemmy.world•I still haven't figured out how to do this
17·13 days agoI’ve recently had to use Word heavily. After all these years, I still don’t understand it.
It’s like Adobe Illustrator to the rest of the Adobe suite. It just does everything it’s own way with zero familiarity to Photoshop, InDesign, Premiere, AfterEffects, Lightroom, etc. All the way down to the interface and menus being it’s own thing.
But say that to someone that knows Word (or Illustrator) well and they look at you like you’re an idiot.
“Yeah, you have to sacrifice a goat and hit this exclusive key combo, obviously.”
I swear I’m not an idiot. I just haven’t been in the abusive relationship long enough to try make it work.
I wish meme’s like this included a little footnote of sources. It’d ensure those that need to see it aren’t so dismissive.
It is on a timeline, but not tech.
If you compare 1985 to 2005, holy shit. So many classics because of mind blowing advances.
2005 - 2025… Well, there’s still 2005 games that go hard with some mods. We really rely on gameplay and story to make a classic now.
I built an outside oven and hit that up for pizza and bread. Also take the top off for the cast iron so I can slow cook pork shoulder and whatnot.
It’s really easy, cheap, high quality.

I want to see that hot pursuit in action. A chase through town, at times reaching jogging speeds with no concern for bystanders.
