This feels like a hateful and vulgar joke you would hear on Kill Tony or another Anti-Woke comedy podcast. in c/mildlyinfuriating@lemmy.world

You've misread the joke. He's making fun of transphobes and transphobic lawmaking.

Not a huge margin of error given how long after the events the Bible was written.

Jesus, just got a 500-volt startle when I saw that image. Thought I was transported back to 2007's Dnepropetrovsk 😬

No one hates a particular religious group quite like the people whose own religion is 99.9% identical to theirs (e.g. Catholic vs. Protestant) (lemmy.world)

I have to use a VPN to see imgur pics because the UK government is run by wankers 😭 And I don't even live in the UK proper, I'm in N. Ireland, but I'm subject to those bullshit laws with zero recourse.

Did I just become an IRA man? 👀

Meta Ran Ads for an App That Promised to Nudify Female Politicians in c/technology@lemmy.world

Anyone with that app on their device is a dangerous pervert, so it would be cool if a new app promising the same features appeared but it just doxxes everyone who installs it.

I think there's a slightly higher chance of human society reaching the technological sci-fi future the game is showcasing before we get the completed game.

Weird issue: OLED monitor prevents system booting, unless it's switched off during the initial boot, any ideas why? (lemmy.world)
 

Got a new OLED monitor, and my PC wouldn’t start anymore. It'd power on - all the lights came on etc. - but nothing would happen and the monitor would go into standby after a few seconds, saying there was no signal. I have a program I use for remote access via my phone, so I'd check that to see if the PC actually made it into Windows or not, but it didn't. Plus tapping the power button would switch off the PC again instantly, as opposed to having to hold it down like normal, so it seems it didn't get past stage 1 of bootsville.

After MANY hours of futile fiddling, I discovered that it was as simple as starting the PC with the monitor off, and after the first few seconds, to turn on the monitor. Everything's fine after that, until I need to start my PC again the next day. I need to turn off the monitor, press my PC power button, then after a few seconds turn on the monitor.

What the hell is going on here?

Specs:

  • GPU: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Ti
  • CPU: Intel Core i9 9900K
  • RAM: 32GB Corsair DDR4 (rockin' a small country's GDP these days)
  • Monitor: Samsung Odyssey G81SF
  • Motherboard: Gigabyte Z390 AORUS PRO WIFI-CF

My previous monitor was connected with a display port cable, and the new one is with a fancypants HDMI one.

It's obviously a minor issue to have to turn off the monitor before booting, but I'm curious as to why it's happening in the first place. If there's something I can do to fix it, all the better. But it's so bizarre.

Cheers!

"Free speech auditors" are a law enforcement PsyOp designed to make us beg for anti-recording laws because of how fucking insufferable those cunts are (lemmy.world)

Is it every aspiring chef's dream to work in a hectic high-stress kitchen? If so, why? (lemmy.world)
 

I assume one becomes a chef because they have a love for cooking and food and the artistry involved, but I can't think of anything more eroding to that love of the craft than the kind of working day I see chefs and other kitchen staff go through. It seems to an outsider like me that it's basically a shift-length panic attack, every day. But that can't be the case, or no one would do the job!

TIL that conflict between farmers and elephants in India brings an increased mortality rate for the farmers; their alcohol intake increases, which in turn increases the lethality of animal encounters (en.wikipedia.org)

It must be damn near impossible to come up with interesting bedtime stories for your kids if you live in a fictional fantasy world in which magic, elves and imps are real (lemmy.world)
 

For example, what kind of story would Geralt the Witcher tell his kids? "Once upon a time there was some normal everyday shit that went how it always goes"?

Must be the equivalent of realworld kids saying "Daddy tell me the story about the Tesco delivery again! The one where they forgot the 2L bottle of Pepsi Max!"

If a famous person or character's likeness is copyrighted and you need to license it to use it, could you find a real-life lookalike and say you modelled your character off of that person instead? (lemmy.world)
 

It's kinda strange to imagine a person's face being locked out of the arts because a character or actor who looked like them got there first.

TIL about the existence of the "Cannibal Snail", a species of snail described as a "fast and voracious predator" which eats other snails whole or sucks them out of their shells (en.wikipedia.org)
 

It's considered invasive in Indian and Pacific Ocean islands, and is native to the United States. Much to my surprise, there's no mention of Australia!

Be safe out there 💀🗡️🐌

The shrink served 5 years of a 12-year sentence for the murder.

How did we get "bike" from "bicycle"? (lemmy.world)
 

Surely "byce" or "bickle" would make more sense as a shorthand/colloquialism 👀
