Kinda A, and also a little D. It's disheartening to see new comms continuing to appear that cater to evermore niche interests, instead of people having the restraint and good sense to cooperate towards reaching critical mass on much broader subject comms first. Also, I'm still not exactly loving the UX on desktop (my primary interface) even with LemmyTools, but recently found the Connect for Lemmy app in the Play Store and that's helped keep me checking in regularly in spare moments during the day from my phone.

Do my eyes deceive me, or is that really an uncircumcised dildo?

Though I find the theory that "men are just better at everything" dubious on its face, it's hard to imagine any better proof of it than this photo.

As seen in strikingly sharp relief here, they're even better at being women. ∎

Woohoo, out of the gate uncut jumps in front by a four lengths lead! As an American male who grew up ~~embarrassed~~ more like mortified over having a foreskin and the uncomfortable attention it drew, this warms my middle-aged heart right down to the cockles.

Not the GP, but I just wanted to say that despite all the usual fanboying in tech circles over the Synology ecosystem, I bought a QNAP TS-453D-4G last year and I have fallen head-over-heels in love with it. Despite official specs saying it maxes out at 8GB, it upgraded to 16GB RAM effortlessly for all of US$45 and five minutes of my time without so much as a screwdriver. It's stuffed to the gills with 6TB Seagate Exos 7E10 drives that I picked up for a song at a going out of business sale where I live, they're in a RAID 5 configuration and I can't imagine life without it anymore. If, like me, you've only ever used software RAID systems, the speed and reliability of hardware RAID will blow your God-damned mind. Everytime I so much as login to it or pick up the remote to use it through my TV, I turn into Genie from Aladdin with "phenomal cosmic powers."

It would be helpful if you shared a brief summary of your current workflow as absent that it's impossible to gauge whether what any of us does might be objectively less painful.

Myself? It's not something I really bother with except on rare occasion, so I'm totally content with having installed FFmpeg via Chocolatey (a la choco upgrade ffmpeg-full -y --pre, a single PowerShell command which will update ffmpeg if it's already installed, or install it if it isn't) and then I just open my bookmark for the WebM Wiki's VP9 Encoding Guide to help me remember which flags to pass to ffmpeg to create the kind of file I want in Windows Terminal. I also have Handbrake installed for the even rarer occasions that I feel motivated to isolate a segment of a larger video to turn into a WebM animated image, though if I've already determined the start and end timestamps I'll just pass those to ffmpeg on the command line as part of my usual workflow.

I was just about to start writing a welcome post now that the banner image has dimensions that aren't cropped, but she's WAY better than anything I could've written. Bravo! White ankle socks have always been my favorites, too.

It had to be said, post-nut clarity is one of the most powerful forces that humans confront.
