The last paragraph is just my own rambling about Unicode. It was me who brought emoji into this.

Thanks; I thought "his town hall" meant that the town's administrative building (Rathaus) was named after Trump.
Pregnant men aren't the point here. They exist and have an emoji 🫃 already but frankly, FtM people are unlikely to want to get pregnant anyway, it's undoubtedly feminine and will likely require steps back in hormonal therapy to reduce risk.
The real LGBT winners here would be MtF transgenders who could finally do another thing previously only available to people born with female reproductive organs.
I like inclusivity IRL and I'm happy with Unicode's support for ancient/artificial languages but frankly, the variations per emoji are pushing my comfort zone. Gendered language is thankfully on its way out, why all the separate emoji then? Most don't warrant gendered versions imo because there is not much difference between them anyway. I'd prefer silhouette or yellow presentations in line with faces like 😀 and pictograms like 🫂🗣️ (plus lots of non-emoji ones). Yes, there should be a male and female face and body, skirt dancer and a tuxedo one, same with wedding attire and perhaps breastfeeding/bottle feeding, but just a gender and skin tone neutral variation for actions 🙌💁💇🚶🧑🦽🤳🧏🤷🧑💻🕵️🦸 is enough. In reality, there isn't a gendered 👶 baby, 🤠 cowboy or ⛷️ skier, either, so consistency would actually improve. With all the variations, too much effort is being put into tiny, text-accompanying pictures that are supposed to represent a simple idea.
Edit: added bold sentence
Yes but you'll need to intercept the HDMI cable with a beefy microcontroller to turn it back on when displaying patient data again so you don't get fired. At this point, I'd be looking to disable the corresponding software if the computer is accessible.
Finally implementing something pirates have taken for granted since the first digital cross-platform audio file format (1983?)
Nicht ganz entfernte illegale Klebewerbungen und Graffiti, denn der Zug durch Tschechien fährt.
Das erklärt auch die böse Fahrgäste: wenn sie herausfinden, man kann beim deutschen Schaffner keine Tickets einfach kaufen und bekommen 60 € Strafe.
It showed up in my "all" feed. I don't block content I'm likely to disagree with, although I don't seek it out.
It might make more sense to sdf.org users. For everyone else, a little is explained on this site.
However, I suggest not browsing this community because a lot of content here can be interpreted as anti-Antifa (aka pro-fascist) depending on the interpretation and layers of sarcasm. You could argue it's just shitposting but many of the posts would get downvoted or removed from the explicitly anti-fascist !196@lemmy.blahaj.zone.
The pattern-seeking brain would be driven crazy trying to predict when the next tick is going to happen, as this pattern is not easy to analyze without tools. Experienced musicians could figure out that the shortest time between beats is half the second-shortest, and perhaps figure it out from there.
Anyway, you could make a website that simulates this or generate a long YouTube video, send a link to unsuspecting people and see what they think. If you want to be extra sneaky, use rain sound as background and "close-up" recordings of single drops for the beats. If you can't code, make sound files of all the different possible measures in Audacity and use a media player with seamless playback and naïve shuffle.
I don't so here's my guess: Pocket watches are colloquially known as cibule (onions) in Czech and presumably English, too, and somebody wants to appear fancy but misses the mark.
They are purposefully slowing down old.reddit.com. Expect a lot of refugees when its inevitable shutdown happens.
Anyway, infrastructure mismanagement is typical for late-stage enshittification. Value of the company goes down, and execs who have sold their shares high are quietly stealing equipment from the datacenter to get some value out of it. (Not literally, they just fire any techs who suggest overdue upgrades and give themselves a bonus for making such a difficult decision.)
Input devices almost never use USB 3.0. In fact, most manufacturers save money and don't shield the cable, forcing half-speed USB 1.1, which is enough for all mice and keyboards - less than 50 kb/s of the available 6 Mb/s is required even for 240Hz polling. High-end mice might have USB 3.0 (9 pins instead of 4 in the plug) but there should be no practical difference between 3.0 and 2.0 speeds. The polling rate will most likely be identical and the microsecond difference between how long each takes to transfer the data is likely way lower than lag from the mouse's wireless connection.
Just use any USB 2.0 hub, even $2 ones from AliExpress will work the same as high-end ones. Most are sold with 4 ports because that's what their standard generic chip does. You probably have one lying around or built into the monitor. You're unlikely to cause interference so just choose any spot with strong signal to the desk area, not necessarily line-of-sight: if the mouse works everywhere within 2 meters from the intended area, then the intended area will have good signal and minimal chance of dropout. The lag or polling rate does not decrease with signal strength unless you count extra nanoseconds the radio waves need to travel.
The only difference is when you need another port for high-speed applications such as mass storage devices or MTP with your phone, at which point just plug them directly into the PC for max speed.
