Whats going on with my pc monitor?

It's an issue with VA panels starting cold. You probably notice that it's more common when the temperature in the room is cold.

If your monitor has a startup graphic when powered on, or its settings menu appears at the bottom of your screen/overlap with the affected area, you'll know the issue is with the panel and not your gpu/cables if the artifacts appear over top of the menu.

My MSI Optix G24C has the same issues (uses a VA panel manufactured by Samsung), and can take a couple min to warm up if the room is cold and hasn't been used in a while. The issue typically goes away in the summer/resolves itself faster.

Whitewashing The SS: The Attempt to Re-Write the History of Hitler’s Collaborators

This post mirrors similar posts made in /c/[email protected] and /c/[email protected] where the user making the post was trying to assert that Canada welcomes Nazi soldiers. You can skim my profile for comments I've made on those posts within the last 24hs if you want a bit of context.

Both of the original posts were deleted from their respective communities so trying to follow the comments leads to an error page informing you that the post could not be found.

Here are some screenshots I have of the users' partially censored usernames and the associated post titles which are very similar to the wording in the title used here (I'm using censored names because I'm unsure if naming users is against the rules).

I'm guessing that this is getting pushed due to a recent incident involving a Canadian House of Commons speaker, and trolls have been trying to push Ukrainians as Nazis since then.

Exclusive: U.S. to send its first depleted uranium rounds to Ukraine

Reply in thread

Depleted Uranium has a half-life of ~4.5 billion years making it fairly safe to be around.

The real issue is that Uranium is a heavy metal but that's kind of a moot point since the alternatives are also heavy metals. The US isn't the first to donate DU round's either, The British Defense Ministry already confirmed that they would provide these rounds back in March, 2023.

It's also better to use fewer of the more effective rounds than needing to use more of the less effective alternatives in terms of spreading heavy metal around. They're only controversial because "radiation scary", and not because they're a heavy metal.

Have you checked that you haven't blocked the person posting?

Also, those posts in the signed out view all have the English tag set, you may need to go into your settings and add English to your selected languages. Keep Undetermined selected as a fallback for when people do not set a language for their posts/comments.

Am I the only one getting agitated by the word AI?

A lot of the comments I've seen promoting AI sound very similar to ones made around the time GME was relevant or cryptocurrency. Often, the conversations sounded very artificial and the person just ends up repeating buzzwords/echo chamber instead of actually demonstrating that they have an understanding of what the technology is or its limitations.

Ai generated trailer, the face around ~2:10 is pretty bad.

Don't Upvote but I came from reddit. So use to doing r whatever what is the equivalent on lemmy?

A little more complicated than that, if you want to go to a community hosted on your instance (in your case lemmy.ml), you would go to https://lemmy.ml/c/asklemmy. This is different from the Ask lemmy hosted at lemmy.world.

To navigate to this community hosted on lemmy.world from your instance, you would instead use https://lemmy.ml/c/[email protected] <your_instance>/c/@<instance_hosting_community>

Using an "!" [email protected] lets you create a clickable link for other people to a specific community.

Text is federated between instances while images are hosted on the home instance assuming you didn't just embed an image from somewhere else like Imgur. I dont believe lemmy hosts any videos, but that might just be an instance admin thing.

It's a jet injector.

Numerous studies have found cross-infection of diseases from jet injections. An experiment using mice, published in 1985, showed that jet injectors would frequently transmit the viral infection lactate dehydrogenase elevating virus (LDV) from one mouse to another.[16] Another study used the device on a calf, then tested the fluid remaining in the injector for blood. Every injector they tested had detectable blood in a quantity sufficient to pass on a virus such as hepatitis B.[15]
