altkey (he\him)

And now a lot of the same shit is documented on video a couple of clicks away from where this boomer consumes content. I gave up on seeking morbid shit like an edgy teen a long time ago, but just regular news feed on telegram, reddit and the likes frequently brings up NSFW content. It’s still spring but I remember at least a couple of clips this year of kids playing stupud games to their end I saw on the surface-level internets.

The link in the OP didn’t work for me, here is an alternative: https://atlantablackstar.com/2026/03/23/utterly-disgraceful-trump-insider-accused-of-using-his-power-to-get-his-ex-arrested-then-melania-link-and-epstein-connection-add-a-dark-twist/

The technically-not-a-pedophile who first met his wife at 18 when he was 33 (she was brought up aged 17 on Eipstein plane, met Melania on it at 18), now used his contact with a senior ICE agent to bag her after being in the US on visa since 2002 (expired in 2019). It’s hard to be more POS than that.

To be fair, they edited in the Microslop logo and also the Firefox icon, making a crying fox look like a narcissist hugging it’s own image, that is not completely out of blue with their recent shitty decisions

XnView MP - cross-platform image viewer and organizer that I love for it batch convert tool. Besides many work tasks that required simple leveling or watermarking automation, I used it to make my couple of underpowered and lowres e-ink books show me manga in the best possible way. I chained up grayscale, rotation to portrait if landscape, posterisation, cutting white borders and resizing the result to the book’s screen, the entire Gutz or Berserk or Uzumaki processed in one go and saved to another folder keeping the structure intact. This way I sprinted through so many works I probably outdid my real wage in the month I started, calculating the price of each tome in Eastern Europe.

TotalCMD - Win darling that I rarely ever use now, but it’s the first thing I think of (and miss on Linux) when I need batch renaming of files. Find&replace, adding counting numbers, using regular expressions (while looking them up each time, lol). It says a lot when I come to task and think of it in a logic that this exact tool allowed me to use.

AIMP - surprise-surprise, another batch editing tool that primarily a music player, and also Win only. It is the slickest way I found to mass convert files to other formar via a context menu item, and it also provides a tool to mass edit metadata of music files, with a pretty flexible data rearranging patterns, e.g. I could fill a blank metadata table sourcing from it’s name deftones_-_shove-it.mp3 and other kinds of manipulation.

I just really like that some programs provide nice GUIs for reliable automatisation of repetitive tasks, that you don’t need to write macros over programs instead. The closest I felt like that from a corporate software is MS Office Word’s Find&Replace in older editions, where you could use regexp, target specific styles and tags, etc, but it still felt too limiting and dumbed down, so for some context aware replacement tasks I wrote macros and was scaredly considering going to either edit their lunatic XMLs on the code level or learning the hell of VBA scripting if I’d have time and zero self-respect. The two only persons I know who wrote some VBAs in my circle actively encouraged me not to 🤪

Hey, Niko!..

1. It has it’s DRM implementation, that, albeit weak and useless, was designed to manage what you can or cannot plug these cords into, e.g. capture cards. That’s probably an advantage for Sony and others.
2. HDMI specs are <10m or bust, so for big rooms or video prod on HDMI you need amplifiers. They may be included in the cord itself, but that makes it one-directional, lol.
3. Not to say that HDMI cords are expensive and you also can’t press their ends to the lenght needed yourself, unlike what you can do with SDI cords.
4. No mechanisms preventing them against just popping out from the socket. Anecdotally, I think there’s something weird with their construction maybe, that in my experience made metal connectors suddenly come off completely around 5 times this year, while no other connectors suffered that faith, even dumb VGA that are prone to have their pins wrecked.
5. HDMI is rigidly limited to what it can with what standard and has no interesting things going for it imho, at least no daisy chaining multiple displays one after another that DP can.
