BombOmOm@lemmy.worldto Privacy@lemmy.ml•Could Windows and installed apps upload all my personal files?English2·6 days agoHow to run something you don’t trust without performance lost?
A virtual machine is generally your best choice. You build a little box around it and tell it to have fun inside that box.
It doesn’t work well for games (you can do it with games, but it’s generally not worth it), but for smaller programs, it is a very reliable choice with minimal performance impact.
BombOmOm@lemmy.worldto Privacy@lemmy.ml•Could Windows and installed apps upload all my personal files?English5·7 days agoThings with admin privilege have access to everything. If it is only user-privileged, it only has access to what that user was granted access to.
BombOmOm@lemmy.worldto Privacy@lemmy.ml•Could Windows and installed apps upload all my personal files?English2·7 days agoWell, that is fair. Those anti-cheats are in user-land on not-windows. Don’t think I have given admin permissions to any game, including those with Easy Anti-Cheat, etc.
I’m still surprised Microsoft allows those to exist. Particularly for something as mundane as games.
BombOmOm@lemmy.worldto Privacy@lemmy.ml•Could Windows and installed apps upload all my personal files?English5·7 days agosteam games for example are nearly impossible to run without admin
What steam game requires admin permissions? I’m not aware of any games that require admin permissions.

Other people had this privileged position in society for millennia. The people turning away from progressive politics aren’t wearing top hats, their hands are oil-covered. When you tell them they are privileged, that everything is just handed to them by society, they look around and wonder what you are talking about.
BombOmOm@lemmy.worldto No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•What do you think the solution to selling progressive politics to young men is ?English0·12 days agoDrop policies that have been consistent long-term losers like expanded gun control.
Suppressors are a hearing safety device/noise pollution reducer and Democrat politicians describe them like they get all their information from a John Wick movie. It would be so easy for the party to drop the matter entirely and throw politically-homeless gun owners a bone by taking suppressors off the NFA.
Force through policies that improve their lives at the cost of others, for example, healthcare paid for by taxing billionaires
Yep! Follow that up with policies that improve people’s lives and we have a ticket that writes itself.
BombOmOm@lemmy.worldto No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•What do you think the solution to selling progressive politics to young men is ?English0·12 days agoStart by no longer telling men who have done nothing wrong they are responsible for the misdeeds of others. It breeds resentment and closes people to anything else you have to say.
BombOmOm@lemmy.worldto No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•What's the best way to respond to someone who says "transracial is just as valid as transgender"? (Transracial referring to people who identify as another race like Rachel Dolezal)English0·13 days agoIf you debate people and onlookers find themselves agreeing more with the other guy than they were at the start, the answer is to re-evaluate your arguments. When you go to social shaming, while you may get people to shut up, you also solidify those people against you. You blocked off the mechanism for those onlookers to have their mind changed and created resentment for the social cost you impose on them.
Isn’t it weird how when you talk to someone online they generally won’t go against the grain, yet Trump now won a second term? And not only that, but he won the popular vote this time around with 14,317,752 more votes than he got the first time around.
That is what social shaming does. Instead of trying to convince people, you force them against you.

This is the shit I was responding too. And rhetoric like that is painfully contrary to even elementary biology. If the best response to OP’s question is a demonstrably false statement like ‘race isn’t real’, well, that’s a very sad state of affairs.
doesn’t make much sense to group them so roughly
Just as I wouldn’t generally find it necessary to group people by eye color, the fact remains eye color is real. Same for other genetically determined things like race.

Regardless of culture/ethnicity: two asians have a baby, you get an asian baby.
Regardless of culture/ethnicity: two slavs have a baby, you get a salvic baby.
Race is most certainly real.

You can put a flame to a screen for a few seconds and they are usually fine. But really, you should be looking into a screen repair or a new/used phone.
BombOmOm@lemmy.worldto No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Are foldable phones as good/bad as they say?English0·17 days agoIt’s actually a specially made glass that is thin and flexible
The foldable screens scratch at a Mohs hardness level of 2. Glass doesn’t scratch until 6.
BombOmOm@lemmy.worldto No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Are foldable phones as good/bad as they say?English0·17 days agoAdvantages:
- The screen is protected when the phone is closed
- It allows for a larger screen while maintaining portability
Disadvantages:
- The screen is plastic, instead of glass. Meaning it is very easy to scratch
- The screen has a hump where the hinge is
- The hinge can get dirt in it, at which point you start developing lots of problems
- They are very expensive
I personally buy mid-budget phones, which means these aren’t even a consideration. But, I probably wouldn’t buy one even at the same price due to the plastic screens being very easy to scratch and a larger screen not having much value for me. But, really it’s up to you what you value in your phone.

Your cute coworker is greeting you with a huge smile. Almost no matter the cause, she is brightened by your presence which is something you should default to being a good thing.
Go have lunch with her and enjoy your day. Don’t stress over stuff you can’t change.

So, nothing to do with chemtrails and specifically addresses geo-engineering and weather modification. Cloud seeding is a thing and dispersing particulates to reflect sunlight has also been much discussed. These states simply don’t want it happening in their state.
BombOmOm@lemmy.worldto No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Why do low framerates *feel* so much worse on modern video games?English0·24 days agoIt’s the framerate jumping around that causes it. A consistent 30fps feels better than 30, 50, 30, 60, 45, etc. Many games will have a frame cap feature, which is helpful here. Cap the game off at whatever you can consistently hit in the game that your monitor can display. If you have a 60hz monitor, start with the cap at 60.
Also, many games add motion blur, AI generated frames, TAA, and other things that really just fuck up everything. You can normally turn those off, but you have to know to go do it.
If you are on console, good fucking luck. Developers rarely include such options on console releases.
God that is great mascot. It sears itself into your brain.
