No. It gives me a competitive edge. If you know what I mean.

Fan grill to prevent penile injuries? The thought of The fans falling off, or standing up full mast. Is giving me anxiety. But i dunno the rpm so it might not be fast enough to cause damage.

Additionally a tube with a funnel like attachment to the fans could direct the airflow directly into your pants. If you wear pants while racing that is. no judgement.

QWOP-ing to work

[–] LoreSoong@startrek.website 8 points 5 days ago

Im encountering alot of AI created websites that explain concepts like "side effects of X pill" (a recent example) and there was basically no real medical websites in the top results, Just clearly AI using thousands of words to say nothing that I cant trust.

I was considering locally hosting a search engine to circumvent my need for them entirely. Search engine optimization seems like a nightmare, if they were trying to give me useful results. So im not sure if that would be a spend 5 hours to save 5 minutes situation.

As you and others said, Its been getting worse for years so its probably just a coincidence that its also profitable for AI.

Im convinced they made search engines worse to promote AI usage.

Is it a portal-able surface?

Lets say your worst fears are correct and this "female", is trying to keep you as an orbiter. Get over yourself, you had no claim to her time.

She was willing to spend time with you before, probably because she thought you were genuinely interested in her platonically and wanted you as a close friend. You caught feelings and are blaming her for her actions and assigning motives to easily explainable actions. you crossed the line, and she pulled away. Shes a social person and wanted many friends. Even if she was interested in you at some point, you said/did something that superseded that. Maybe she felt like you werent reaching out to her enough. but my guess is using the word female unironically to describe a person.

Seems to me that she "Intended" to hop online, play some games and talk to strangers. You should probably back off and re-evaluate how you view people especially women.

Is that a vape?

That did not work, also tried to reinstall gnome-software and reboot after removing, It persists.

Thanks for trying, lmk if you have any other ideas

my guess is that gnome-sofware is reading a list of applications from somewhere and a placeholder/uninstalled app is being read into this list. but im looking everywhere, no luck.

[–] LoreSoong@startrek.website 3 points 2 weeks ago

Yes, and it's plugged in!

Ill try that, great suggestion

 

This is a screenshot of a random application that appeared in my gnome software application. I used the software installer to install OBS (I don't usually use flatpak, I had to because OBS without flatpak is missing features i needed) and a few days later had an update, after the update, this appeared in the software section. Guessing its a glitch, but I'm worried its some type of malicious software and would like to know where to find its files to remove it/fix the glitch. I'm running Arch Linux, gnome DE, and only have OBS and a few plugins installed through flat hub.

so far Ive tried

-removing all flatpak apps.

-finding a .desktop file or bin folder with a placeholder name

-reinstalling gnome software

-I cant find any info online about anyone having a similar issue.

-running journalctl to find any jobs that i don't recognize

I'm at a loss, more info/logs/screenshots can be provided if necessary.

Thank you in advanced for your help!

 

People have been talking about this game my whole life and, Im finally going to take the time to try it since I just got it in the steam sale. Also recently many references are being made to draw parallels our current situation many people state that this game "predicted everything!".

Any tips, tricks or external mods I should know before getting into it that will improve my experience or should the game be played as is? for reference I just purchased the Deus Ex GOTY edition

what do you rate this game overall? If I enjoy this game, are the sequels worth playing? If so which ones? What would you rate the sequels?

Spoilers are "okay" if they are required to answer any of my above questions but try to keep them minimal or at least tag the comment with a Spoiler warning. general discussion is okay too! Thanks for your input!

 

Hello, thanks for taking the time to read this. I hope that my SO can read some of your responses and realize that shes not crazy, and Its a major issue with alot of us.

She is 25 and has debilitating social anxiety, She is working on it and making good progress. She has a small group of friends online and talks to them regularly, plays games with them and ever since she started talking to them Ive noticed a huge upswing in her moods and demenor. Lately shes been trying to branch out and meet more people in other online spaces.

She has expressed to me that people seem to just know something is different about her, or they seem to interact with her differently than everyone else. I tried to explain (from my perspective) as a fairly autistic individual (undiagnosed cant afford). That yes people can just sense neurodivergency, and will treat us differently. however I, being raised by extremely extroverted parents am very good at masking.

She, on the other hand doesnt "feel right" hiding herself behind a mask to make people feel comfortable. I tried to explain that, thats just how people are, everyone to a degree is masking. The people who dont, often get a lot of respect for being "real" and or put down by others for being overwhelming or annoying.

Ive tried to offer tools to meet others somewhere in the middle, where i believe most people exist. mirrorism Is a tool that I frequently use to guage the extent of what i can and cant say to someone. I also have a "nonchalant" attitude towards people in general which I think makes people feel comfortable around me. This frustrates her, understandably. Because she cares alot about people and wants to build meaningful friendships. She looks at my tools as being fake, and even points out others within her circles that are unabashedly themselves that get treated better or are more "noticed" even if shes been around longer.

This and other factors are of life are often sending her down these spirals of thinking that are difficult to comfort or reason away, since alot of what shes experiencing is determined by other people who themselves are not always of sound mind. She thinks people dont like her and that shes not "worth" the attention. She is a wonderful presence and cares so much about me, her family and everyone to an extent. I find it frankly unbelieveable that any of what shes telling me is grounded in reality.

Im hoping that a few people sharing thier own experience and tools to work through the spirals. Will both motivate her to keep trying for friends in spite of the cruelty of people, aswell as offer a fresh perspective on being "real" or "fake". In regards to talking to new people.
