I think you are rewriting history. They did this only when they got forced to by revolting customers

This is just the truth even if people don't like it. The trans people i talked to all confirmed the body aspect. In chess, it is well studied that variance in intelligence is wider in males. so there are far more dumb males but the majority of the top competitors will also be male. I hope we can accept this someday and still strive for fairness to everyone.

It sounded like that to me yes. I probably misunderstood. And Why me? I'm white. I'm also poor and a socialist but according to the reaction i got in this thread I'm just an idiot and it is right to hate me.

... How is this comment still disagreeable?

I see. It sounded like indiscriminate handing out to me. I am fine with actual wealth being redistributed. My personal responsibility measure is political contribution and spreading left leaning reasoning.

I did not benefit from it. Half my family are refugees. I was born into a shitty life. I do not want to be punished on to of that for something i had zero control over.

To be precise. Sinking the ship is ok. Not ok is to do it without warning the crew first and not rescuing them. that was the cause of the US entry to ww2.

With "the person", are you referring to Rubio?

Move window within monitor and across monitors with same hotkey (lemmy.sdf.org)
 

My understanding is that windows are moved withint a screen using Win+Arrow and across screens with Win+Shift+Arrow. I would like to unify this, to move windows around without pressing shift.

In Windows, it it possible to move a window to, e.g., the left edge of a screen with Win+Left. A subsequent Win+Left press then moves it to (the right edge of) the monitor to its left. I find this simpler and also substantially quicker. Is it possible to replicate this behavior?

Alternating pressing shift is rather burdensome for me, as my fingers are not as quick and flexible as they used to be, and neither is my brain, for these split-second tasks that happen a thousand times every day.

Take screenshot in linux using dotnet (lemmy.sdf.org)

I want to take a screenshot. In Windows, that's a simple Graphics::CopyFromScreen call.

In Linux, I feel a little confused on how to do this. It seems there is a principal and stark distinction between X11 and Wayland, so I have to include both code paths. For either, it seems there is quite a lot of boilerplate code, often tagged as 'may break depending on your configuration, good luck'.

Effectively, what I found is recommended most often is to call ffmpeg to let it handle that. I'm sure that works, but I find it rather unpalatable.

I find this strange. Taking a screenshot is, in my mind at least, supposed to be a straightforward part of a standard library. Perhaps it is, and I just completely missed it? If not, is there a good library that works out-of-the-box on most variants of linux?

Update: Thank you all for the input. I eventually went with calling ImageMagick. It is fast, easy to use, well documented, and supports capturing arbitrary displays with little effort.

Removed post as "job posting" (lemmy.sdf.org)
 

Same post was allowed when the phrasing "... let ffmpeg do the job" is changed to "let ffmpeg handle it". So the removal seems to be purely keyword-based, in a resoundingly stupid fashion.
