Most scroll wheels use an optical sensor inside the housing to monitor the motion of the wheel. If you got paint inside the housing then it can confuse the sensor.

Question: did you take off the top of the mouse to paint it, or at least tape off any areas that needed to be protected like the scroll wheel and the bottom sensor?

LaTeX users: “Guess I’ll go back to DVI”

Just like you cannot vote for your country’s submission in Eurovision, you cannot vote for your instance’s submission in Lemmyvision. So if you picked lemmy.ca as your instance then the voting form should be excluding our three submissions.

Trackball gang! There’s dozens of us. Dozens!

You have to remember that the scripture is dictated from the top: the Pope to the bishops to the priests to the masses, or the equivalent in other sects/religions. Therefore it’s not so much about belief as it is about control: “trust my words only, disregard anything someone else says to contradict it.” And it’s repeated over and over with every sermon. Heck, the whole start of the Abrahamic religion is someone being told “kill your son, trust me bro it’s the right thing to do.”

I feel like Constant Panic 24 is more like Fox “News”, but yeah daytime CTV is not far behind.

Eliminating the need for subtitles altogether

Oh yeah, this is totally going to help people with hearing problems… not!

The one issue I would have with the slider is accessibility. If the disability includes fine motor control then a slider would be hard to use.

Sugar and lemon juice tho…

Joke’s on you, I use a trackball.

Nice ad hominem.

The screenshot puts the title of the article out of context, and incorrectly frames The Atlantic as defending late stage capitalism. The body of the article is a review of the history of egg farming.

Link to the actual article. It’s a good read, and in no way does it try to justify the raise in egg prices. It talks about the history of chicken and egg farming in the 20th century, the supply chain needed to bring as many eggs to consumers, and is critical of how the growing demand led to factory farming and horrible conditions for the chickens.

It’s a darn shame that Scrubs ended on season 8, but on the other hand imagine what a disaster a 9th season could have been…

Severs can chose which other servers they federate with.

Severs each have their own admin. You think the admin on your server is an asshole? Pack up and take your community to another server.

Severs are each deployed in their own jurisdiction, making the federation more resilient to censorship.

I’m not opposed to the message, but did it have to be an AI generated picture?

To me that version is second only to Carolina Eyck’s rendition on the theremin.

And the uncanny CGI…

Get and adapter/conversion kit and attach a generic CO2 canister.

So no worse than trying to use rational arguments?
