  • I have one of these and a dumper.

    I took all of the games we have and dumped them onto an SD card. I use it for the second switch we have that our kid uses.

    No messing about with swapping cartridges and taking a chance on losing one, which has already happened once.

    I ended up with a V2 which is even better. No wear and tear from popping the cartridge in and out and all the games on it.

    Aside from the “inconvenience” of having to push the button to roll through the games, it was worth it.



  • As much as I don’t want to agree, I partially do agree with your first statement and hope (regardless of how little faith I have in the justice system) that they are intentionally doing this so they can let the can of worms open if he loses and then take every single person they can down with him when they try to derail the results and attempt a 2nd coup.

    It would be the icing on the cake, like you lost and you made a second attempt at it, there’s no fucking back tracking and now we have even more people that came out of the woods to help you and we are going to take you all down.

    They could put him in jail now, but corruption is rampant, but maybe (sliver of hope) there is some quiet digging of graves for these people to fall into.




  • I’m curious about the stick drift thing.

    I have 3 controllers, two of which I’ve had since maybe 6 months after the PS5 was released since that’s about how long it took me to get one.

    Both controllers have a few hundred hours on them, neither have stick drift. The third one doesn’t have nearly the amount of hours on it since my kid spilled juice on it and I procrastinated for a few months to take it apart and clean it lol so I’m not considering that one.

    Is it really that bad or did I just get lucky? These things are almost 4 years old and still work perfectly fine.





  • Edit: just realized you said US based. Tuta is not US based so that might not work for you. Sorry about that.

    Tutanota (now just Tuta) allows you to use your domain. I use it, it doesn’t support external clients (Outlook, Thunderbird, etc.) but they do have Android, Linux, Windows (maybe Mac too) clients.

    It’s also cheap.

    I’ve been using it for a few years now, it works for me.

    You can get a free account to check it out first and if you like it just upgrade to get the personal domain usage and increased storage limit.


  • I’m from the States and have spent a more than a decade living in other countries, and have had plenty of time to see how people around the world interact with their (and other people’s) children. I have to agree with you that this really doesn’t seem like a big deal.

    It looks really bad from a western perspective, especially for people that have no understanding of other cultures.

    Do I agree with it, no. That’s just my personal preference though. He didn’t backhand, punch, or otherwise harm the child, and the child didn’t even seem phased by it.

    Had he done this in a country other than Turkey it may be newsworthy, this just seems like rage bait.






  • Exactly this.

    Just because you wrote your documentation a certain way, doesn’t automatically mean that you feel a certain way about any particular group, or that your users are primarily a certain gender. It may just be writing what pronoun you are most familiar with.

    In this particular case, we can see that the author didn’t exactly make the best case for himself.

    However, there was never a problem to begin with until the person that requested the change also accused the the author of assuming that the user/dev of the OS is male.

    If that little bit of accusation would have been left out, and they just put a note like “grammatical correction” it may have just been accepted and moved on. Instead they asked for a change while accusing the author of feeling a certain way.


  • There literally wasn’t a problem.

    Until the person that asked for the correction literally assumed that said dev was assuming. Since thats what they said in their comment.

    So I can understand being a little pissy at someone pointing to you and accusing you of assuming something. It’s stupid.

    I may have been a little irritated too if someone accused me of assuming something. I wouldn’t have reacted the same, but I would have been clear that I in no way assume anything related to gender identity.

    If the person wouldn’t have put that assumption into their comment, the change may have been more likely to happen.

    Instead they assumed something and got push back which turned into the scene we see now.

    Ass u me… I mean it’s pretty clear.



  • To be fair, it’s also kinda dumb to point out something as an issue when it clearly wasnt, and saying “assuming the user/developer if the OS is a male” means that the person complaining is assuming that this dev was assuming something because he used the word he.

    The issue was that the person decided that it bothered them so much that they needed to ask the dev to change it.

    This has idiots on both sides written all over. Why is that person being nitpicky over something so stupid. Women use she/her in their writing all the time, just like men use he/him, and people with other pronouns are more likely to use what is familiar to them such as they/them.

    I say this as someone with a child that has been reading books to them and noticed that an authors gender and the pronouns they use seem to correlate more often than not. Unless the book focuses on topics of or relating to understanding and accepting the differences in people. Both people are dumb in this scenario.

    Edit: let me put things into a perspective that maybe some of you can understand. Let’s take anything related to gender or being PC out of the equation.

    I ask you to make a change to your documentation because I don’t like the way you said something, then accuse you of being or believing a certain kind of way because of the grammar you used.

    That is what this person did.

    Now let’s assume (yeah I said it) for the sake of my argument that the person doesn’t feel any kind of way about the thing that they were accused of being. I’m pretty sure that person might just take offence to that. Which in this case is exactly what happened.

    Had there just been a change that said something along the lines of just a simple grammatical correction. It probably would have be pushed and ignored.

    In this case the dev definitely seemed like an ass, but that’s not the point. The point is the whole fucking situation is stupid.


  • I didn’t at first, but after the response from @mranderson17 I ended up doing just that. Which seems to have resolved that issue.

    Prior to enabling testing/unstable repos for access to Plasma 6.1, CM was working fine on Wayland. However after the update it seems to have broken it but changing to X11 fixes the issue. So it’s likely a combination of me messing with my system and something with Plasma 6.1.
