Feeling lonely sucks, but man, whenever I’m listening to some people talk about past relationships they’ve been in, I end up feeling happy it hasn’t happened yet.

I blame my parents. They have such an amazing mutually respectful, supportive and loving marriage that it has set an impossible standard for me to realize.

I wish media depicted more healthy relationships.

Half of people don’t seem to even have an idea of what mundane everyday loving behaviour actually looks like. And the other half does know, but fetishise unhealthy bullshit. (TBH I do too, but I want to engage in it playfully, not full on I will now proceed to straight up destroy you emotionally that I’ve run into with some people. )

They’re plants, didn’t you know?

Yes.

Especially over on !catposting@lemmy.blahaj.zone and !meow_irl@sopuli.xyz

There is on mine.

I just pet him a bit a pull him closer, and pretty quick he’s opting to snooze right along with me.

Oh, I don’t either, but making that fact clear can be fun sometimes :D

Honestly I’d be freaking stoked with that result.

Please tell me that whenever people commented “he must be twice your age!” you simply nonchalantly replied “triple, actually”.

Wine unfortunately can’t be used for that kind of stuff. Programs run in wine cannot communicate directly with hardware in the way they can on windows.

Not yet, at least, but the implementation is in very, very, very early stages. As in, people have just about started figuring out how it could theoretically be done.

Also, easyeffects can be used to apply audio processing, if you want to. (Should be in basically any distros default repos)

I don’t use any effects on the output, as they sound great, but I do use dynamic range compression on the mic for the benefit of my friends.

It levels out the loudness, so whether you whisper or shout, you sound the same level of loud. That way they can hear you even if you speak quetly, or don’t get their ears blown off if you loudly swear in frustration.

Doing the same on windows was way too much work to ever bother with, on linux, easy peasy.

Endeavour OS, here. I didn’t have do anything in particular to get mine working.

You might need to use a windows system to verify that it’s working at all, could simply be broken.

The other option is that they’re on an old firmware that works differently for some reason. You’d need the EPOS software on a windows install to do an update.

I feel this so much it hurts.

Some people are TERRIFIED of devices.

They look at the UI like it’s the cockpit of a fighter plane, with a thousand buttons, some of which make things explode.

Unless they know exactly what to do, they won’t even try anything.

Nevermind that UIs are usually designed to allow a user to figure them out by just prodding at everything and seeing what it does.

Linux drivers are usually part of the kernel nowadays, or sometimes get loaded as kernel modules.

Either way, most distros should just come with the audio drivers that implements the support for these. Generally, being open source, linux drivers implement support for everything the devs can figure out, rather than making a separate one for each piece of hardware that’s out there.

If you’re on an older kernel, that might be it. I remember when I got a DS5 controller I had to use a kernel newer than 5.15 because that’s when support for it was added to the game controller driver.

Also, like I said, battery replacement is VERY easy.

There is literally an official PDF for how to access it.

The part number for the battery is AHB732038TPCT (found out by opening mine) which is like a cheat code you can put into google to find one :D

Even better, Sennheiser seems to use standardized batteries for all their wireless stuff. There is actually a lot of empty space inside these, so I kinda wanna try replacing the “proper” battery with part number AHB622540N01, which is the battery for Sennheisers Momentum bluetooth headphones.

Single cell batteries all put out the exact same voltage, and are charged the same way regardless of capacity, which makes small ones interchangeable with big ones (unless the circuitry is unnecessarily smart). This other battery is 1000mAh (original is 530mAh), which should net these babies 200 hours!!

Also new pads can be found by looking for part numbers GSA371 or GSA301, but these are getting harder to find, so probably gonna need to find some generic ones that work.

That is a STEAL.

The volume wheel definitely works on mine, so something is wrong. I encountered the developer that added driver support for GSP headsets back in a conversation abut them on reddit, so I can say for a fact they are explicitly supported.

That seems like a pict-rs issue, actually. I’ve seen it before, and your instance admin may need to fix it.

The thumbnail problem is somewhat self inflicted.

Before, instances would create thumbnails of such high quality so as to essentially re-host the relevant image. Client developers took advantage of this by using the thumbnail url instead of the full-quality url for faster loading and less bandwidth use, as the server-provided thumbnail was always a small file, and in webp format.

This isn’t what thumbnails are actually for, though… They’re supposed to be a quick-to-load preview, not a complete replacement for the actual file.

I’m using the photon web UI, and there is no way to even open a link to the full quality image in a new tab, here the moomin strips look very blurry. But the default webUI does load the full image when you click it, and so does the mobile client I use, Thunder. Reading them in either of these works fine.

Its scope is far bigger and more comparable to an entire game-engine project rather than a single asset.

I would have thought that applied to ANY universal 3D format. For everything you might want to work, to work, the feature-set that must be implemented is truly mind-boggling.

I can’t imagine a format only supporting a subset of what USD does, ever becoming universal.

Isnt this a mostly solved problem? (Not in Godot, but so far as such a format existing)

A lot of stuff works with USD.

Most clients just haven’t implenented it. The thumbnail url field is there in the default web UI. (Provided your instance is up to date)

The size limits are determined by server hosts.

The thumbnails are a separate feature, no matter what you post, lemmy servers will create a small thumbnail file that is able to load quickly, for all but text-only posts.

You can also define the thumbnail URL separately when creating your post, if you like, which can work around the current resolution issue.
