The Management posted:is that why that is? I always assumed the hidpi compositor wasn’t happy with windows crossing between high and low dpi screens. I don’t actually know though. this actually works mostly fine. the window is rendered at the highest dpi of any of the monitors it's on and downscaled for the other ones. there's a noticeable blur/unblur if you move the edge of a window on the low dpi monitor between straddling and not straddling the edge.

maybe it's doing some overly clever thing where it drops the vowels in search terms and only matches the consonants to support that now-passe trend of dropping a vowel or two from your startup's name?

Sagebrush posted:so they create their own little avatar -- obviously this only works if they do it accurately -- and then they click a button and it shows them an "equivalently"-dressed woman. the amount of care the man puts into his appearance is translated into the female model and they get to see, through analogy, just how fuckable broader society considers them to be. maybe they discover, to their shock, that their video-game-opposite-gender-model is a fat girl with a flat ponytail wearing jeans that don't fit and a baggy tweety bird t-shirt. what if i like the look of a girl with a flat ponytail wearing ill-fitting jeans and a baggy tshirt

Doc Block posted:wouldn’t earth have to be continuously increasing its acceleration for that to work? I mean, if it was moving upward at a constant rate of 9.8m/s2 then wouldn’t everything else on earth also be moving at that rate and thus not have any “downward” force applied? acceleration and speed are not the same thing. accelerating at a rate of 9.8 m/s^2 is very different from moving upward at a constant rate of 9.8m/s
