MTG goes on extraordinary rant about Charlie Kirk, Republican men and her resignation in c/politics@lemmy.world
[–] sin_free_for_00_days@sopuli.xyz 13 points 3 days ago

Her stock trading game has rivaled Nancy Pelosi’s

I don't know how Pelosi became this issues poster child, other than normal Republican boogie-man creators. She's bad, don't get me wrong, but far from the worst.

Here's a look at the top 10 for 2024:

David Rouzer (R-N.C.), Representative, +149.0%
Debbie Schultz (D-Fla.), Representative, +142.3%
Ron Wyden (D-Ore.), Senator, +123.8%
Roger Williams (R-Texas), Representative, +111.2%
Morgan McGarvey (D-Ky.), Representative, +105.8%
Larry Bucshon (R-Ind.), Representative, +98.6%
Pete Sessions (R-Texas), Representative, +77.5%
Susan Collins (R-Maine), Senator, +77.5%
David Kustoff (R-Tenn.), Representative, +71.5%
Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.), Representative, +70.9%

Thanks for the reply. I'm going to look at photo rapid downloader, and pull up darktable.

I wasn't sure if Garry was commenting on his own code, or someone was calling Garry out on Garry's code. Either way, your comment works.

I'm so out of my comfort zone, I was just wondering if people knew of an obvious way of dealing with media. My idea is to be able to edit videos/pictures from to , or call up all videos/pictures with a tag that labels things like people, place, why, et. al. I don't think it'll take very long to get something working just using a quick script, I've done similar before. 99% of the time I find I like my solution better, but then there are things like Calibre. Sure I could, and have, hacked up something to manage my books, but it wouldn't be as good or as easy as just using Calibre.

This is what I was going to do. I didn't know if there was someway of doing it "better". In lieu of some obvious way of doing it, I was going to do the naming file format, and then write a quick little preview/tagging script.

What happens when black cop(s) arrest other black people? in c/nostupidquestions@lemmy.ca
[–] sin_free_for_00_days@sopuli.xyz 7 points 3 days ago

Naw, black people, when they become cops, become just cops. After donning the garb, they don't give a shit about people who aren't cops. But here's the thing. The white racist cops still care that another cop is black. It's a weird dynamic.

Is there a word for when someone is not capable of, or doesn't try to understand verbal communication in a language they are fluent in, similar to functionally illiterate, but for speech? in c/nostupidquestions@lemmy.world

Okay why is your distro the best? in c/linux@programming.dev
[–] sin_free_for_00_days@sopuli.xyz 1 points 3 days ago

Mine is best for me. I started with an rpm based distro in the late 90s. I tried out gentoo when it first came out. Spent a little time, maybe a year, on Arch years and years ago. I go back to mine because it works, hasn't caused an issue for me in years, and I don't like having to dick around learning new systems anymore.

I've never had to organize much in the way of videos/photos, until now. I'm going on a trip for a month or two and want to organize the pictures and videos I will be taking. I'm interested in datestamps and tags more than anything. Does anyone have a workflow that works for them? Any apps that make this easier that I haven't heard of?

EDIT: I'm wondering about things like, downloading media from my camera and having something sort it all in a schema of my choosing. Maybe other things that I don't know enough to even wonder. Or, maybe there is no there there.

IF they manage to get this through, they better use a big chunk of their compromise money to educate people about the new way of voting. Like carpet bomb the information.

How to download or just watch a threads link (sopuli.xyz)
 

Buddy of mine sent me what he describes as a disturbing video from his hometown. It's a threads link. I generally use yt-dlp or just straight mpv from the CLI and most things work. I can't see this, on my computer, or my crap phone. Does anyone know a trick or something for accessing this content. No I won't make a threads account. Here's the link, for what it's worth:

ISP throttling VPN? (sopuli.xyz)

My ISP seems to be throttling my VPN connection. Just started a week or so ago. Anyone have any tips for correcting this shit?

Edit: Sorry, I didn't leave much info. I guess I was thinking in more general terms. I use PIA, have for years. I've tried to change protocols and ports, my VPN speed still sits around 10K. Just ridiculous. Speed test without VPN:

collapsed inline media

SOLVED!! OK, I'm an absolute idiot. The tl;dr I had accidentally toggled the Toggle Alt. Rate Limits setting. Thank you everyone for attempting to help that which couldn't be helped!
