Oh fuck yes that sounds awesome, thank you!!

Okay, I see. Thanks for the heads up. Are there any specific scalers I should consider for minimizing latency that you’re aware of?

Right, thank you I’ll try to keep this in mind. What do you mean by the TV supporting it though? Like I said, CRTs have no pixels to the best of my understanding, so how would it be aware of the resolution in order to reject it? I can understand it causing problems, but how exactly can a CRT outright reject a signal like that?

Thankfully, Mint allows me to output in 4:3 aspect ratio. Now, if the actual resolution will still be an issue, then yeah, I suppose I’ll need that. But if I send a converter a ~720p 4:3 signal and it outputs it to composite, what does it matter to the CRT that doesn’t have pixels anyway?

Sadly it does not take VGA but I do have an old laptop with native VGA out so I could convert that to composite easier. VGA is already an analog format, right?

Yeah that makes sense. I’ll have a look into VGA converters, thanks for the tip!

Hmm, okay I’ll consider cheaper options. Thanks for the feedback. Latency isn’t too much to deal with I take it if you’ve been sing it for that long.

Funny you say that, because I have an old laptop that has a native VGA output on board and I’m testing it out right now! It works and Mint outputs through it just fine, but I’d need to get a VGA to composite adapter. Buuuut, if I’m gonna do that, I might as well just get an HDMI to composite adapter for the compatibility.

Also, any USB to composite/s video/component adapters? That sounds like a great workaround.

Also yeah, I know latency will exist, but it can always be minimized.

None unfortunately. That’s why I’m asking about composite specifically. My only other option is RF lmao

You hit the nail on the head, my friend.

Assuming they are disabled, which a passerby like myself cannot be expected to know, that does not excuse the deliberate choice to use ethically unsound technology. It’s especially true in this case, as even if a disability limits your potential as a visual artist, you’ll gladly commission somebody if you have any respect for the craft. I know this because I too have such a disability, and it hurts. It hurts knowing I might forever depend on the hands of others to bring some of my ideas to life, but you know what? That only strengthens my appreciation of visual artists and their work. I’d rather commission a talented artist to mix my silly brainwaves with their personal flourishes and create something meaningful, ten times over, then throw some words at an industrialized theft machine to get soulless slop.

Agreed. Also OP is the moderator of PeerTube .wtf which I recently moved away from on account of being told I should waste my time, energy, and (nonexistent) artistic ability creating artwork for someone who already decided to “generate” slop instead of commissioning an actual artist.

Edit: lol I’m stoopid I just realized that I might be the whole reason this post exists hahahaha

The shoes stay on during sex.

I assume you either mean financially or in terms of general support and word of mouth. Trust me, I wish I could be a dev so, so badly, but as interesting as code and computers are, I’m light years away from getting in there and being able to fuck with shit. I love learning about programming, but I’m not the best at actually learning it. lmao

I say, as I sit in a first level computer science class, typing this because I’m totally lost in the actual lecture.

That is one strong ear

Followed by a sneering, rude as hell comment that’s actually praising them.

“Drama” One of the dev teams are literally huge bigots. I agree this community isn’t the place for it, that’s fine, but I can’t help but take issue people refer to real issues as “drama” and nothing more.

I’ll admit I don’t know how to best make it resemble anything ^^ When I went vegan I came to realize that most of the flavour of meat is in the seasoning, but I never cared if the tofu or whatever actually resembled the meat it was seasoned like.

Now you may ask how to season it properly, and I’d love to tell you, but I’m such a new cook that I can’t. Names of spices elude me, which is part of the reason I need strict recipes to remember how to do shit. I enjoy cooking, I just can’t remember any of it lmao

Tldr: I’d love to help you, but you happened to ask the most useless person for that advice hahaha I’m sorry

claps slowly as you exit the room

Oh fuckin shit. That’s why I just joined PieFed here. I’ll be sure to block .world too
