Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Did non-RGB mechanical keyboards cease to exist? Can anyone recommend some?
1·1 year agoWooting’s pretty great with their webapp.
I know there are some reaction channels that actively give insight on what they are reacting to and pausing and breaking things down as they watch. Scru Face Jean is one of those, and while I don’t really know much or care about rap and rap culture, he has been a great watch on his rap battle reactions.

Resolution - having a big screen at the same resolution doesn’t really mean much, and you usually don’t really go higher than 4K for computer monitors. Yes, there are 8K TVs, but good luck being able to afford one.
-
Performance - if you want to go big, you’re probably thinking of TV screens, and TVs generally just aren’t built for colour accuracy, low latency, or high refresh rates.
-
Cost - bigger computer monitors are pricier. Besides, if you are upgrading your monitor anyways, well, your old one can just become your secondary display; it’s free screen estate.
-
Ergonomics - it takes less effort to look from side to side than it is to look up and down. With multiple smaller screens, you can arrange them all to face you cockpit-style; with a giant screen, the edges will look distorted unless you buy a curved display.
-
Software - most OSs can snap windows to the four quadrants of each display; anything smaller or more unique, and you will have to manually resize each window.
-
Practicality - if you’re working, gaming, or watching a movie, you want to dedicate an entire screen to your task at hand. Having multiple monitors lets you do that while still being able to check other things on the side. For example, when I stream games, I can play while having my OBS and Twitch stats on the side; when I do any design work, I can pull up references on my secondary display. The black bars are a non-issue.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What are some useful general maintenance tips can you give to people living on their own in apartments or housing?
15·1 year agoDon’t do that; modern dishwashers already do an amazing job of that, so you’d just be wasting water and effort, which defeats the whole point of dishwashers in the first place.
If anything, just scrape any solids into the trash with a utensil before loading your dishes into the dishwasher.

3·1 year agoThis is an awesome reason to go vegetarian holy shit.
All the reasons I’ve heard have mostly been issues of morality and some ecology.

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•I'm thinking of buying a car. What is some advice? How do I maintain privacy in a modern car?
4·1 year agowe all know american car-centric infrastructure is fuckin evil.
look, you probably know this already, but cars are still the only practical option for most americans; they don’t really have a choice. suburbia is subsidized, and so it simply makes financial sense to live in the suburbs, especially if they can’t afford to live closer to where they work and shop.
it’s great that you care about transportation infrastructure. engage in discussions to inform, of course, but do recognize that it’s policy, not people, at fault.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What's something that's scammy but only in ways you've connected the dots on?
2·1 year agoI’ve written a whole spiel in response to your comment before I realized you were talking about the difficulty curve, aka new player experience, not the difficulty of the game as a whole.
And yeah, that tracks; the new player experience in both those games you’ve mentioned (along with many other Souls-like games) is kinda bad. Sometimes, some hand-holding at the start is nice.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Best seat cushion for my mesh desk chair for working from home, for my poor bony butt bones, and my legs don't fall asleep?
2·1 year agoi think people have the chairs and cushions covered.
instead, i recommend you also look into footrests. someone already mentioned lowering the chair to keep your legs angled properly, but that may make it uncomfortable to work if your desk is at a fixed height.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•is there a way to block posts by keyword, like I can block any post containing the word "musk"?
3·1 year agoif possible, check for capitalization so “Musk” is blocked but “musk” is allowed?

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Straight men, what's the weirdest thing you've been told you can't do because it's gay?
162·1 year agoto be clear, i’ve been out to the rest of my family for a long time, and i am very open about my sexuality (even irl, which takes at least some balls because i’m not in a very lgbt-friendly region). the reason i am not out to my father is that he has always been a traditional “man of the house” person, and i am not driving a wedge in our relationship by letting him know that his ideal bloodline ends with me.
if you don’t understand the cultural contexts in which i reside, do not assume my intentions or degrade my decisions.



I’d just keep it simple. It’s a YouTube video, not a college essay.
