I’m not sure off-hand since I’m not too familiar with VLC.

I would imagine it could be an issue in a graphics driver at the kernel (amdgpu?) or user level (mesa?). It could also be a problem in something higher up.

I would recommend posting an issue in the VLC repo and see if you can get better support that way.

Can you turn off hardware decoding and see if it works then?

One of the most comfortable mice out there.

I hate how tipping is now customary at every single restaurant now, including places without servers.

My older brother got me into Ubuntu when I was around 12. He basically showed me the basics, like the terminal and a couple commands, then just told me to manpage or Google everything else.

Then I got Linux for the Wii and that really got me into the nitty gritties of Linux.

Yeah, title should just be:

Don’t waste your money on an awful Android tablet on Black Friday

It was just a dock, so not terribly expensive but expensive enough to hurt if it got lost.

If you’re not in school and just teaching yourself the material, get a better textbook. There are plenty of exceptional textbooks in physics on libgen. If it’s for a specific subject, I can probably recommend you a textbook.

Not really. I’ve lived here for ~30 years and certain spots are better, some are worse.

Caffeine pills! You can find them for cheap at most drug stores. Plus you can dose the exact amount you want.

Yep. I also used it a lot when starting on a hill on vehicles without handbrakes.

Is Bixby still a thing on new Samsung phones?

I got a free computer and upgraded the processor to an i7-6700T (eBay) and some old SSDs. It measured around 15W and I haven’t had any problems with it. It is miles ahead of using any Pi or ARM-based SBC. I would really recommend just finding a used computer nearby, if possible. Craigslist and Facebook Marketplace has some killer deals.

Nope, Lemmy is just as toxic as Reddit imo.

Ooh, the top left ones are from Ultima Online. Haven’t seen those cursors in a long while.

If you’re on a really steep incline, you’ll have to press both the brake and gas pedal at the same time using your right foot, while feathering the clutch with your left. I’ve heard this called the “heel toe” technique.

If your engine has enough torque or if the hill isn’t steep enough, you can ignore this and just ease off the clutch while transitioning from the brake to gas.

For cleaning out the connector, I get a piece of flat clamshell packaging, cut it into a V shape, then use that to carefully scrape out the gunk in the connector. It really helps if you have a stereo microscope or even a loupe, but isn’t required.

It’s the largest community by subscribers, I would be surprised if folks haven’t came across it by now…

I’m just over politics on the Internet communities. It’s exhausting and becoming increasingly difficult to avoid.

It’s not about being centrist or whatever: I have my side and strangers on the Internet aren’t going to change that. I don’t want to come to Lemmy or Reddit or whatever platform just to be bombarded by pointless political fights. I deal with that enough in the real world.

I don’t believe that getting into e-fights over one’s political view changes anybody’s view on the world—if anything, it makes people more intolerant of one another. I don’t understand why people don’t use that energy towards something meaningful.
