What Frida Kahlo Kept in Her Bathroom.
  • Can't tell if /s or not, but cum is Latin for with. So, "bathroom with library".

  • Homemade tree for the BIG BOY
  • This is something that would be great for our 26lb mix. We don't know yet what he's a mix of, but we think it may be Bengal or Chausie. I need to flex my handy skills, and this feels like the purrfect way. Thanks for sharing!

  • xkcd #2935: Ocean Loop
  • Tales from the Loop

    Sorrynotsorry, I've just got into watching it and it fit so... haha.

  • A cop allegedly shot and killed his Lyft driver, claiming he was being kidnapped for a 'gay fraternity'
  • He was already on leave following an incident in December, 2023 when he was arrested after crashing his car while possessing 20 unprescribed Xanax pills.

    Sounds like he was outright delusional, and it very much feels like these two events are joined at the hip.

  • Streets of SimCity 27 Years Later: An LGR Retrospective
  • While it was extremely limited due to the tech at the time, I truly enjoyed this and SimCopter for the ability to drive/fly around your created cities. Would love to have seen some semblance of physics included. I just recall any cars you drove up/down hills just conformed to the terrain. Was still extremely fun.

  • What year is it?!
  • Kurzgesagt Time! They have a 12,024 Human Era calendar (but it's sold out :/ ). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=czgOWmtGVGs

  • Parents actually give this book to their kids.
  • Looks like it's still for sale in some capacity on Amazon (looked it up by the ISBN). First print was 1979, so it dates itself. The sample pages are... interesting.

  • What's Your Favorite Vape?
  • The XQ2! My weekend sesh tends to revolve around a few balloons, gets me above the clouds rather nicely.

  • 2nd hand ThinkPad go brrrrr
  • Just threw Zorin on my secondhand x220, but been using the Thinkpad as a low end test bench so that may change. Runs surprisingly well, although I do need a new battery soon ("dies" at ~40%).

  • Is anyone else tired of the doom posts on Lemmy?
  • Happiness has to be fought for.

  • What's your favorite game that you will NEVER finish?
  • My roommate is heavily holding out her next playthrough until 1.6 drops. Here's hoping Stardew Valley Very Expanded gets updated soon after.

  • What's your favorite game that you will NEVER finish?
  • I'm heavily modding Skyrim VR currently and now that .esl support was back ported, I'm hovering around 400 mods. It's joyous, and I'm afraid how much I may break at the same time. Nexus Collections are helping as well. Maybe I'll test MO2 one of these days.

    I have never completed or even come close to finishing the game. And I was a day one 11/11/11 purchase lol.

  • I got this popup ad on my TV **while watching a DVD**
  • Pretty sure it's the smart TV blocklist from Wally3k / Firebog. I'll confirm and update later if I find out otherwise.

  • I got this popup ad on my TV **while watching a DVD**
  • The amount of Roku stuff my PiHole blocks is asinine. I just recently added a blocklist for smart TVs and it ballooned the query counts like mad.

    +1 for PiHole. Worth the ~$40 for the Pi Zero W and accessories alone.

  • Which of your favorite creators content quality went downhill very quickly?
  • Oh I figured it would be good. I loved HP growing up, well before we knew any of JK's purviews and hatreds. It also does help that majority of the actors involved in the cinematic universe were outspoken against her. It's rather difficult to separate art from the artist at times, but I think I'll probably sail the seas first to test it out, and then determine how best to purchase it without giving her any more cashflow, however meager that is in the grand scheme.

    Found a reasonable article of who distanced / defended Joanne's hatred: https://www.pedestrian.tv/entertainment/every-harry-potter-actor-supports-jk-rowling/

  • Which of your favorite creators content quality went downhill very quickly?
  • Thank you for the extra layer of clarity. I'm consistently trying to make sure my words aren't being misconstrued, and I'm hoping that's how the other commenter feels, although I'm not going to put words in their mouth. I've faltered many a time in the past, hell even this morning in a discussion with a personal friend. I'm here to hopefully make the world a better place to live in, even if by the smallest choices in words and actions.

  • Which of your favorite creators content quality went downhill very quickly?
  • You're on the right path with that. Sometimes people with these mindsets just need to be spoken to, and that may (on may not) open their eyes to the ways they may have been inadvertently steeped in, whether that be from upbringing in a hatred filled household / community / etc., or a search for acceptance in those circles. I have someone at my workplace who is an outspoken anti-LGBTQ+, even going as far as plastering their laptop with heavily right wing anecdotes, and wearing very questionable shirts with horrible messages. But I'm here to eventually try and reason with them, and you're absolutely right it'll be an uphill battle, but one worth trying.

  • Which of your favorite creators content quality went downhill very quickly?
  • I get your perspective, and I think we are both trying to at least meet in the middle with how we are trying to explain our takes. By all means, I truly do think that minority groups should have more support and have the right to be heard and seen than the "societal norm". I guess I was just trying to see both sides and trying to determine a midpoint. The "All Lives Matter" movement easily falls in line with many other conservative spiels, and I'm trying to see the best in people in that what they mean isn't trying to side with the heavier right wing movements. Again, I'm not trying to belittle or minimize the trans rights movement or anything in which minority groups aren't being heard. I guess I just wish we lived in a society where everyone was treated as equal, and any hate groups were quieted to the best of our ability, slowly erasing those archaic viewpoints.

  • AM5 B650M USB dropouts on cold boot

    Hey all, just recently treated myself to a new computer build after ~3 years, and I've been having nothing but trouble with USB dropouts. Had I done more research prior, I would have known about this issue that seems to have been prevalent since the AM4 days. Thing is, I've had great success with my prior build (AM4, Ryzen 7 3700x, 32GB 3600, RX 5700XT, Asrock Steel Legend mATX), so I wasn't thinking there'd be issue. Been nothing but frustration.

    Specs:

    • Asrock PG Riptide mATX
    • Seasonic Focus GX Gold 80+ 750W
    • Ryzen 7 7700 AM5
    • G.Skill Trident Z 32GB DDR5 6000 (Samsung chips)
    • Asrock RX 7800XT 16GB
    • 500GB Inland Pro NVMe (OS) - 2TB Samsung NVMe - 1TB Crucial MX500 SATA - 1TB WD Blue HDD - 4TB WD Blue HDD
    • Windows 11 Pro
    • Thermaltake Core v21 Case

    So to start it off, the USB dropouts have been... odd. They only seem to happen from a cold boot. It starts with a simple stutter where both my KB+M (wireless 2.4GHz) start lagging and stop any input, then pick back up. Then comes the audio stutter. Slowly but surely, within about 3-5 minutes, the whole system locks up. Upon having to hit the reset button on my case (as everything seizes up), everything works as if there's no issue whatsoever. Nothing in event viewer to coincide any Windows problems. Hell, I played Starfield for ~6 hours almost non-stop yesterday with nary an issue (although Akila City decided not to load in at once point).

    The other thing I find rather strange is that I could not get my RAM to reach the XMP 6000 settings, but if I set it to that and then downclock to 5600, I'm stable. Standard frequency is 4800. This issue happens even at the baseline.

    I've tried BIOS upgrades and downgrades, CMOS resets, tweaking the BIOS for the "known causes" of this bug (C-states, RAM timings, etc), and yet no change. I just hope this isn't coming down to an RMA of the board or whatnot. If there's anymore info I can provide, please ask.

    EDIT: I can't say for sure, but moving my regular USB 2.0 devices to the USB 3 slots seem to have resolve it. I'm still wary.

    EDIT 2: I unhooked all currently unneeded USB connections (including internal front USB3.0), with only my USB hub for BT and 2.4GHz dongles and my wired Xbox controller (2 ports total). I also read that one of the "solutions: back on Am4 for this bug was to turn down PCIe speeds from Auto or 4.0/5.0 to 3.0. I'm still being cautious, but right now I did a full shutdown, power cycled the PSU, and then rebooted afterward. Running RAM at 5400MHz.

    EDIT 3: Changing the PCIe speeds did not change a thing. USB seized up without any input. Upon reboot I reset defaults to the BIOS, and then, a new thing happened! Seemed to hang upon retraining of the RAM. Shut down via rear power switch, and upon this reboot, Windows refused to launch anything, even Task Manager. Multiple reboots and another BIOS default later, and I'm back to functioning (at least this boot). I'm actively shopping for a new motherboard, though choices are limited. I also can't return this mobo as it's my 2nd from Micro Center, with the first Riptide having bent pins.

    Recommendations on replacements welcome. Thanks for coming to my TED Talk.
