Do you use your Deck for non-gaming purposes? If so, what do you use it for? in c/steamdeck@sopuli.xyz
[–] BrazenSigilos@ttrpg.network 3 points 4 days ago (1 children)

It essentially is a replacement for a mouse, I set FreeCAD to use Blender input settings since I'm used to those. It's one without a screen, just a USB that I use with a kickstand hub on my Deck. I picked it because it was cheaper then a screen style drawing tablet and it would help most with Blender for modeling organic sculpture. It was a simple plug-and-play, although the software to enable some extra features was available for Linux and was a snap to add. I experimented using it with FreeCAD and it's pretty similar to using a mouse, so I don't need both inputs taking up table space.

I use it for 3D modeling using a BT keyboard and a drawing tablet. Works great with Blender and FreeCAD both.

Pakistani religious body declares using VPN is against Islamic law in c/technology@lemmy.world

This is plainly insane.

The Flying Spaghetti Monster has decreed to me that VPN use is totally cool and his worshipers should feel ok using them. 🍝

Has anyone had any luck finding and recommending any books geared toward helping Neurotypical people understand how to interact with us Neurodivergents? in c/adhd@lemmy.dbzer0.com
[–] BrazenSigilos@ttrpg.network 3 points 3 weeks ago

Dirty Laundry by Richard Pink, Roxanne Emery. Rox has ADHD and Richard is neurotypical. The book has both their perspectives and how they meet challenges together from a place of understanding the view point of the other person being different from their own.

Why do cell phones have a data limit but home internet doesn't? in c/nostupidquestions@lemmy.world
[–] BrazenSigilos@ttrpg.network 39 points 4 weeks ago (2 children)

Not all home internet is unlimited. In many US rural areas, home internet connections have a monthly cap just like mobile networks do. A higher cap costs more, if it's available at all.

Any kind of surge pricing ~~by for profit companies providing basic needs~~ should be illegal full stop

Fixed that for you

Small talk is an essential skill in c/whitepeopletwitter@sh.itjust.works
[–] BrazenSigilos@ttrpg.network 205 points 1 month ago (11 children)

The key to understanding is finishing the sentence.

"I hate small talk... with people I have no reason to talk to and don't care about."

I love my partner, and even when it's small talk I can listen all day, just to hear their voice and learn a little more about them, to feel closer to the person I married in many small ways.

But I don't care about what Jim at the laundry mat did last weekend, or which machine he thinks makes socks dry faster.

It's disappointing that copyright infringement could cause these people to spend time in prison, but the predatory practices of the companies they where competing with are punished with no more then fines. A "cost of doing business" for the corporate aristocrats. This is the threat the upper class uses on the rest of us, and all too often do not suffer themselves.

Want a 3D printer in New York? Get ready for fingerprinting and a 15 day wait (www.nysenate.gov)

Want a 3D printer in New York? Get ready for fingerprinting and a 15 day wait

Assembly Bill A8132 has been assigned a "Same As" bill in the Senate: S8586 [NYSenate.gov] [A8132 - 2023]

I don't own a gun, I never have and I don't plan to at any time in the future. But if these pass in the NYS Senate and Congress, it would be required to submit fingerprints for a background check then wait 15 days, before you could own any "COMPUTER OR COMPUTER-DRIVEN MACHINE OR DEVICE CAPABLE OF PRODUCING A THREE-DIMENSIONAL OBJECT FROM A DIGITAL MODEL."

This isn't even going to stop any crimes from happening, for pity sakes regular guns end up in criminal charges all the time, regardless of background check laws. How about some real change and effective measures, rather then virtue-signaling and theater illusion for a constituency?

Finally an official diagnosis (ttrpg.network)
 

I was introduced to the potential for ADHD as an adult, and now at 33 I have my official diagnosis! Severe ADHD / Innatentive Presentation I've never been relived to get a diagnosis of severe anything before, but I feel like I can finally feel sure about why I've struggled with these symptoms for so much of my life. Now I can start learning how to deal with and accommodate my symptoms, rather then trying to wrestle this many-limbed thing in the dark of ignorance.

Looking for the Title of a story (ttrpg.network)
 

If this is meant to be elsewhere, please let me know. I once read a story about a soldier who was in a horrific assault, who was then grafted into a large battle mech. As the story goes on, more flesh is taken until eventually only a spinal column and brain are left inside a gel-sack, and the machine has been upgraded to the point that it now has a super-punch that is powered by artillery shells in the shoulder. Some search engines showed alot of similar stories, but I can't find the right one. Anyone know this tale by title?
