This is a nice piece. I don't have much to add, but I spoke to a French friend I have that's super into art. He said he had heard of this painter from Le matador (looks like that's the header of the series link you posted). But he was more familiar with Pierre Soulages who apparently is also known as "the painter of black" according to wikipedia. With this painter being "the painter of blue" I'm wondering if there's a whole palette of painters out there.

Definitely curious to see if we experience waves similar to how mastodon does every time elon says something stupid. I'm not sure we will, though. With the entire reddit gold thing I was expecting people to throw their arms up about the reversal of stuff people paid money for but it seems like they just accepted it and moved on. Perhaps the people that remain will stay there no matter what. Regardless I think how things are going here are still promising.

It also says FY which I assume means Fiscal Year. It seems like Microsoft's fiscal years end in June and start in July based on browsing a few investor pages (like this one saying fourth quarter ended in June). Not that that completely solves for the time difference but wanted to mention it

unreliable reports

if they were reliable reports that would be quite shocking XP

The red splatter behind the words makes me feel like this isn't as nice as it wants me to think

I bounced to mint cinnamon as soon as this was announced. I miiggghhhtttt switch to arch as cinnamon hasn't quite made me feel like I'm able to do what I want, but I plan to at least try LMDE before that

Depends on if gaining a yogurt eating habit is defined as being a better person or not xP

I do think your heart is in the right place trying to find and discuss engagement issues in the threadiverse. That's obviously been a common complaint people have posted about and I can see you believe strongly about this.

I think I just disagree with the issue at hand, or at least that there is a single one and that this solves it. To give an anecdotal example: I make a post around every day on kbin.social that gets 0 likes, 0 dislikes, and 0 comments, in other words no engagement. You might say this is due to it being difficult to find! Well, it actually is! So much so because it doesn't even federate out to lemmy.world, lemm.ee, fedia.io, etc. I check remote instances and my posts never federate anywhere. If you look at my profile from your instance, lemmy.world, it would seem I barely have any posts, but on my home one I have quite a few.

This is just one example of course, but from my perspective, the major issues we have right now are technical ones, and I'd like to see those fixed before trying to focus on social ones.

Mastodon solved this with an Explore-Feed, which consolidates the Local- and All-Feed

Can you please explain what that means for non-mastodon users. As far as I know about lemmy, which granted isn't much, local posts are not hidden from all, meaning it already is a consolidated local and all feed.

Personally, I didn't agree with your previous post and I don't agree with this. I believe instance owners can run their instance however they wish, they're the ones paying and maintaining it. If it's not suited to your tastes, there are other places to look at. If an instance wants to federate with no one or hide all remote posts or anything, that is their choice to run the software that way. People aren't locked in jail cells making decisions with no information of the outside world. Nor are the defaults they set locked either, I just bookmark "hot" and "sub" and go to those every time, regardless of what the homepage has set.

Seems to be from here: https://drleviharrison.com/mouse-sensitivity-gaming-rsi/

So at the very least is a real person and appears accurate to his claims

In observing high sensitivity play, it is clear that there is more of an isolation of the hand and wrist in regards to movement. These players will flick their wrists aggressively, hence engaging the anatomical structures that are at risk for developing RSI including the carpal tunnel, the wrist, joints, tendons, etc.

Reads as though the shorter, violent action of wrist flicking is claimed to be more damaging than constant, slower movement.

Which I definitely prefer. The chatgpt thing in the OP had me thinking -I- was hallucinating. I've always felt it takes less hand movement to move across the screen with acceleration

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago (2 children)

People turn it off?! Surely it is faster with acceleration rather than without?! I guess I can try, I have now disabled enhance pointer precision in windows. What I can say is, it does actually seem to go faster I expected. I then tried to get back to the checkbox to turn it back on and completely overshot the selection box and then overcorrected my overcorrection. Now I'm curious what most people use.
