men only spaces are a terrible idea and it doesn't become a good idea if they happen to be trans men

brit media class should be liquidated in the literal sense of the word in a giant blender

yeah i used to spend loads of time in the trenches on reddit arguing with transphobes

like others i don't think i would suggest it to anyone but i have described hexbear and why i like it to a few irls. mostly that i like it because it's a space with a lot of trans people but few liberals

Irish butter is unbeatable

remember when sci show made a video about transgender HRT without consulting any transfem people and there was actually harmful misinformation in the video about feminising HRT and then they didn't delete it for a year and did a half assed apology and nobody cared enough to write news stories about it? i remember

can't afford 29 bucks for podcast rn. found a youtube upload but its not great quality, would love the files if anyone has them biggus-piggus

i moved recently and don't have a TV anymore so my excitement for this kinda dwindled. the 2TB price seems like a bit of a hard sell, but honestly i expected them to be even wilder given the circumstances. personally much more excited for the Steam Frame

fiction or non-fiction. centralising my reading list and it's just a topic that's been bouncing around my head a lot lately. in the sense that i'm struggling with it and have for a long time, but also wanting to get a bit more academic with it/expand my horizons/feel seen. putting a preemptive CW for the topic.

i guess their sicko AGM retreat thing is in my country this year awesome

some real zingers here. interesting to see all the comments praising him for being a rational voice about AI too. does feel like a shift is ongoing

second monitor view:

some info:

  • this has only happened in one game (Total War Warhammer 3) and the card has been performing more or less fine otherwise, although i have been noticing some minor artifacting in stuff like Firefox.

  • my PSU is old as fuck and technically underpowered for the card (EVGA 750W gold from 10 odd years ago) and I'm also using a 2 head splitter cable to power two of the three 8 pin headers.

  • CPU is a 9900k which is certainly throttling this thing

my thoughts are to just buy a new PSU and see if that fixes it. i can RMA anytime so I'd rather wait and see. just wanted to hear some folks thoughts as this is stressing me out a fair bit

i lean towards the latter but want to hear hexbears thoughts on this. pic unrelated it's my DS3 SL1 character after beating the dancer

I've been saying for years they're gonna find some new and strange way vapes are worse for you than cigarettes

Some popular disposable e-cigarettes emit toxic metals at levels that surpass those found in traditional cigarettes and earlier generations of vapes, according to a new study by researchers at UC Davis.

The study, published Wednesday in ACS Central Science, found that a single day’s use of one disposable device released more lead than nearly 20 packs of conventional cigarettes.

Researchers also identified hazardous concentrations of nickel and antimony — metals linked to cancer, nerve damage and respiratory illness — in the aerosol emitted by seven devices from three widely used disposable vape brands.

“Our study highlights the hidden risk of these new and popular disposable electronic cigarettes — with hazardous levels of neurotoxic lead and carcinogenic nickel and antimony — which stresses the need for urgency in enforcement,” Brett Poulin, assistant professor of environmental toxicology at UC Davis and the study’s senior author, said in a statement.

Using a lab device to simulate 500 to1,500 puffs per product, the UC Davis researchers found that metal concentrations increased with use. Leaded bronze components and degrading heating coils were identified as major sources of contamination.

“When I first saw the lead concentrations, they were so high I thought our instrument was broken,” lead author Mark Salazar said in a statement.

Four of the devices emitted nickel and lead at levels surpassing safety thresholds for neurological and respiratory damage. Two exceeded cancer risk limits due to antimony content.

EDIT - I SOLVED THE PROBLEM LOL

i had a timeshift snapshot that was like 500GB because i had been including /home in my backups. fixed.

So, my system has been complaining that my main OS drive is almost completely full. However, I just deleted like 250GB of games off it to fix the problem. It's a 2TB SSD.

output of df says i only have 52GB free:

Dolphin file manager agrees. However, using Filelight, and my own reckoning, I can only account for 660GB of space used up.

even doing du -sh */ from / only seems to show about 1TB of space used on the disk. Where is my other ~800GB of space?
