LG monitor asking about ad tracking preferences
  • squid_slime squid_slime 12h ago 100%

    I was so pissed when I realised most of the feature on my smart monitor were disabled by disallowing network connection. especially when those features where present on my non smart monitor. Things like dual input so having two devices over HDMI / DPI display on separate portions of the screen was fine on my old lg ultra wide but on the new smart ultra wide it is disabled all because I won't agree to they're terms.

    Congratulations and not sure if I have come to terms myself. For the most part I feel I am straight but I have a crush on one of my friends who I'd happily cuddle up and watch films with. Anyway pretty sure I'm bi.

  • squid_slime squid_slime 3d ago 100%

    A few, 7yo appendicitis which ruptured in surgery. 15yo Fell from 3 story high scaffolding and landed on my back. 11yo an adult repeatedly slammed my head onto a wooden floor: maybe not a near death but I had thought that that was the end. 18yo big hill at night friends figgered we would ghost it, brakes off keys out of the ignition, find break don't work and scrabbling to put keys in ignition.. I was drunk so I don't remember much else but we all survived car had a dent on the bumper.

    I can only see still frames of random motions and detective gadget animated is the character who flicks the ball. The red ball which I then added a hammer and sickle moves with illustrative wooshes across the table bounces off of a wall into detective gadgets eye.

    I see and hear from communists an anger towards Trotskyism. Can someone from an anti-Trotskyist position explain the reasons to avoid Trotskyism.

    been using Arch for years but i am still a novice, yesterday i had found that in order for something to work on my system i will need to edit a few lines in kernel which i did, then removed unnecessary modules > intel, > nvidia, compiled. it worked great but with Arch and its rolling release i am dreading the next update and having to go through this again. what methods are there to automate this process?

    tell me the most ass over backward shit you do to keep your system chugging? here's mine: sway struggles with my dual monitors, when my screen powers off and back on it causes sway to crash. system service 'switch-to-tty1.service' ``` [Unit] Description=Switch to tty1 on resume After=suspend.target [Service] Type=simple ExecStart=/usr/local/bin/switch-to-tty1.sh [Install] WantedBy=suspend.target ``` 'switch-to-tty1.service' executes '/usr/local/bin/switch-to-tty1.sh' and send user to tty1 ``` #!/bin/bash # Switch to tty1 chvt 1 ``` .bashrc login from tty1 then kicks user to tty2 and logs out tty1. ``` if [[ "$(tty)" == "/dev/tty1" ]]; then chvt 2 logout fi ``` also tty2 is blocked from keyboard inputs (Alt+Ctrl+F2) so its a somewhat secure lock-screen which on sway lock-screen aren't great.

    One of the best films I've seen, especially the psychosis scene where the room it torn apart to show a film set. films that can tell a story through minimal explanation or make a point without saying it. Enter the Void and Under the Skin are both similar and both do fantastic jobs of this too, glad to add Requiem of a Dream to this list! recommendations for similar please :) Also i have compiled a list of my top films if you wish to look: ::: spoiler Squids List of Films ___ films i like: requiem for a dream. enter the void. withneil and i -- one of my favourites. they live -- its good in consept but suffers the age fulling for trends that aren't well received now. Dr. strangelove -- timeless. The Rum Dairies -- amazingly writen and photography. shutter island. Rosmeries Baby. the man who wasn't there. lawless. the gardener -- a film that brings me much joy. a man called ove. cape fear. jacobs ladder. missery. the irishman. the road. the banchees of inisheran. the death of stalin. the wale. the lighthouse -- my kind of horror. in burges -- fantastic. swiss army man. fight club. devotion. Take Shelter. under the skin. -- another horror that i love. Birdman. the single shot and jazz made for an intense expirence! The Machinist. -- not a favourite as the film feels slow, to slow for its context. The Witch. There Will Be Blood. Oldboy. -- its good, its one i would wwatch with friends but lacks what i often want from a film. gone girl. ___ films i dislike: deep impact. Armageddon. poseidom. Memento -- failed to fully capture me and this i am sad for as i can tell its a good film. :::

    A film i have heard of and have been recommended but put off over the years, but honestly so glad to of watched it actually due to a chatgpt suggestion where i put a list of books and films and asked for a recommendation based on those items. anyway im just glossing, in this thread we can recommend other media that relates. Withneil and I - is a classic and a favorite of mine as well as George Orwell's writings.

    We have seen right wing populist protest **violently** through many cities and towns. Bristol stood strong today outnumbering the few protestors. We witnessed division. That division is made worse. Many of these protestors on the right have been mislead by modern media. Its so much easier to blame our national issues on migrants and look no further, in this way: calling them "fascists" or blindly proclaiming to want fully open borders may seem to be a gotcha but all we achieve is to alienate the confused working class people who we must bring over to our side. Our NHS is fucked from political mishandling, deals with private capitalist. Our homes are in short supply due to private development that build for profit. Our education, utilities and other things aren't businesses and shouldn't profit like them. These are the programme's we must push across. Solidarity Bristol I am proud to stand with you.

    Screen on event crashes PC and corrupts journalctl, seems to be an issue with edid. Currently solution has been moving to TTY1 then moving back to sway (tty2) as TTY seems to have no issue handling these events. Where can I start trouble shooting this?
