  • Unless this community has a rule about editorializing titles, you’re not required to use the video title as the post title and can enter your own. You should also be able to add your own body text to the post separate from the automatically pulled video description.

    Alternatively, you can always make your own comment on this post that summarizes away the clickbait.

    It’s kind of hilarious to me that for all the words in your comment, you still didn’t mention what the actual topic of the video is.




  • The term has been diluted I guess, or this is a strawman. I’ve never seen real life protests or action called “virtue signaling” before. That’s absurd.

    Back when I first started seeing the term used online, somewhere around 2009-2013, it was being used to describe the non-religious version of people making “hopes and prayers” comments online.

    Like people using filters over their Facebook profile image to raise awareness of something and then patting themselves on the back for a job well done. That problem sure was solved!

    You think something the Russian invasion of Ukraine is bad? And you feel that so strong you’re going to make a post online about it? You sure showed Putin with that one!

    At least taken in the most forgiving light, it was sneering at the type of people who were explicitly preformative with their sense of justice. The type of people to do the day of silence about LGBT bullying, who would then strut around afterwards as if to say “We did it gang! We solved LGBT hate!” Then continue to use LGBT terms in derogatory ways and bully LGBT people.

    I always thought the phrase was pretty self explanatory. It’s virtue signalling, not seeking, not spreading, not defending, not living, not actually embodying.


    This wouldn’t be the first time this comic creator made a strip against something that seems to be a ridiculous strawman to me though.

    XCom and XCom 2 can be played entirely with the mouse. Minor typing if you want to name your soldiers, but nothing requires quick reflexes. Everything is turn based.

    There’s an older breakout style game on steam called Shatter that can be played entirely with the mouse and has a banger soundtrack and neat visual style.

    Emulation opens up a lot of options for old school turn based games. RPGs, turn based strategy. Any of the Pokemon games gen 1-3 can be played one handed with some clever button mapping. Any game made to use just the Wii-mote as a pointer would also work, but I don’t know those off the top of my head.

    You might want to look into one handed controllers, or something like the FLIR USB dongle that you can use to map IR TV remote signals to keyboard button presses. Just need to use a remote that doesn’t already control something.

    You’re making a huge assumption based only on the fact that Windows hides these logs from the end user.

    I’ve had line of sight to those logs through a system that automatically highlights those errors and warnings for something like eight years now, for a fleet of over 1000 Windows machines at the start which is now roughly 5000 total.

    In that time I’ve seen less than 200 graphics driver issues logged, and they all were on machines with failing hardware.

    Yes, they are not anywhere as visible to the end user as they are on Linux, but they are also significantly less common (graphics issues in particular).


    Also, if the warnings are meaningless, why display them to the end user? It’s just more noise that actual problems can sneak by in.
