I prefer the same PS layout, but some other people complain about the left stick not being under the ‘default’ thumb position, and thus like Xbox controllers more.

It’s the all-time great PS controller, except I can’t actually hold the bottom protrusions in my hands.

What’s not to like? Just don’t hold the controller with your hands like you would normally do!

Also Wiktionary imported the whole Webster dictionary from early 20th century sometime in the beginning of their operation, and apparently Webster was a fan of thoroughly describing each of the twenty meanings of a word. Which tradition continues in Wiktionary to this day — instead of giving three-word descriptions for two or three meanings tops, as other online dictionaries do.

My one complaint is that the thesaurus at Wiktionary is so-so, being exhaustive only for things like euphemisms, which naturally have many synonyms. In most cases, Thesaurus.com is a better resource.

Thanks for the explanation. As it happens, one of my irks about the Windows version of Transmission is that it doesn’t remember the position of the torrent-properties window. I want the list on the left, the details on the right — particularly since Transmission reuses the details window, essentially treating it as a pane. This worked splendidly on MacOS.

Technically the original ‘Dracula’ is Austrian/Hungarian film ‘Dracula’s Death’, released in either 1921 or 1923. Considering that Dracula is either the most- or second-most-frequently adapted character ever, I wouldn’t be surprised if more films were made between this one and the 1931 one.

Also, funny thing, a Spanish-language version of ‘Dracula’ was filmed simultaneously with the 1931 film, on the same sets. It’s considered better made, because the crew had access to the dailies of the English version and could adjust the direction based on the flaws they noticed.

macOS are even worse in this regard IMO. Everything is just totally inconsistent

Why do you mention macOS if you haven’t used it?

Hold on, so I can’t run Transmission that has the torrent list in one window and torrent details in another window? Only one single window per app? What insanity is this.

Every app I know opens a window for the preferences, how is this solved in Wayland? Even just the typical Explorer-style file manager requires multiple windows to function. And of course, I always have a dozen Firefox windows open.

Ah! Good old videos on ‘how realistic these films are’. I know at least three decent series of such vids, but forgot about them lately — need to get into them again, they provide nice mealtime entertainment.

If we’re gonna take shitposts seriously, then I’m also gonna inform you that I recently watched the movies, and a lot of the injuries depicted would be at least ER-worthy, with possible permanent crippling damage, and more than a few would easily kill a man. Especially in the second film.

With long hair, you have two particular easy opportunities:

• Just trim only the temples with a trimmer, and let the rest grow as it pleases. Or cut the ends to some length that makes sense. This way you can have a ponytail, or loose hair if that’s your style, and look okay.

• Or, get a ‘long mohawk’: have a barber buzz the sides so that you have the back and top in a straight wide stripe, then tie a ponytail and shave the sides with a trimmer once every week or two. This is more fit for dudes, though there are photos of gals in image search too. The benefit of this style is that it’s more chilly than a full head of hair, while also being low-maintenance.

Works the other way too.

Plug them all in, and you’ve got a Cronenbergesque sculpture underscoring the protagonist’s descent into the more surreal corners of the unfolding story.

Took me a little while to realize it’s not a condom or a weird hotdog on the flag.

Merriweather is great for longer texts. I use it in all book reader apps.

Anonymous Pro is my coding font of choice.

There are river dolphins, even.

AFAIK, there is no criminality (even in Russia) for homosexuality or religion.

You don’t know shit about fuck.

Peter Thiel explicitly sided with Sauron in an interview, because “things work in Mordor, while outside Mordor it’s all wishy-washy and environmental”.

Horse meat is consumed regularly in some Central-Asian countries. From what I’ve heard, it’s lean as hell, moreso than lamb.

I realized just now that I didn’t know how an anteater’s mug works, and, well…

Cats are actually pretty good at dealing with snakes thanks to their quick reaction. Though it’s not a guarantee.
