NorthWestWind @lemmy.world I code stuff. I draw stuff.
I'm a Hongkonger 🇭🇰 If you're a westerner coming here because you're arguing with me about something in HK/China/Asia, I forgive you for your misunderstandings.
Having a relationship is a bonus for me. Not having one is normal, and I don't mind.
Also that's like a few hundred things that I don't have to worry about.

Not really. In Chinese, boba/bubble tea is called "pearl milk tea" (珍珠奶茶), and you do literally suck them with a straw.
Someone please pick me up for the HK Splatoon 3 Championship

I lack friends who play this game, but I wanna play in an official tourney! To save you from clicking into the article link, you need to be a permanent resident of HK and be in HK to participate.
Now everyone is going for this and they're gonna charge more WHAT HAVE YOU DONE
New blockchain just dropped
Unfortunately the creators of Jarvis also doesn't understand him. Jarvis cannot express his frustration to anyone and goes mad.
My hands. They break everything that comes into contact.

So there's this exam called the DSE exam that is a VERY BIG deal as it determines if you can get into university and thus your future career.
There was a subject called Liberal Studies, and you basically an entire essay for each question. Every high school LS teacher will teach you the templates of different types of questions so you can score points.
At one point, the HKEAA (the group that organises the exam) asked the teachers to not teach the templates, but it's almost impossible to score anything if you don't follow the template.
So no one listened, and it was still how it was taught until the subject got cancelled.
Corsair HS55 Wireless Dolby 7.1 on Linux?
I recently bought a Corsair HS55 Wireless Headset. They stated it supports Dolby 7.1, IF you use the iCue software, which doesn't work on Linux.
Using pavucontrol, I can change the profile between Analog Stereo Output, Digital Stereo (IEC958) Output and Digital Surround 5.1 (IEC958/AC3) Output, but the Analog one is the only one that works. The other 2 just results in broken audio. There's not even a 7.1 option.
I don't have high hope about this, and I expected it to not work when I bought it, but it would be nice if anyone has some ideas.
Splatoon Unofficial Banner!
Summatia and Integrelle (2 inkling girls) in a newscaster setup, with Summatia yelling into the microphone and Integrelle trying to stop her.
A jellyfish is very worried about them breaking things.
Behind them is a monitor, showing breaking news in Wet-Dry World.
Crafted with the ideas from the idea post! This isn't necessarily the final version, so feedback from ANYONE are welcomed! If you have any, please do post them here!

I want your banner ideas!
I did the banner for this community 4 months ago, and I think the time has come to make one for @[email protected] !
This time around, I want everyone to suggest something, instead of me crafting it up from scratch, so please leave your suggestions here for Summatia! She'll take your order!
I should also mention your suggestions need not be the "main" thing. What I want are some little details, or background elements you'd like to see in the banner.
(This is kind of what a local HK restaurant waiter looks like)
(Thanks to Experiencer for poking me about this every now and then)
"Fry" is an ambiguous word in English
Here are 3 examples: Fried egg, fried rice, fried chicken
All these "fry" are different. If you were to use the "fry" in fried rice to fry an egg, you'd get scrambled egg. Fried chicken is done by submerging it in oil, which you won't do with fried egg or fried rice.
This post is made from the perspective of a Cantonese/Chinese speaker. We have different words for these different types of "fry" (煎, 炒, 炸 respectively)
(Turns out I did post it in the wrong sub and I didn't realize, and now I feel very stupid. Photon UI has once again screwed me over. Got mad for no reason.)
Are there any open source keyboard with handwriting support?
I'm a Hongkonger and often need to type in Chinese. While I can use input methods like Cangjie or Quick, I much prefer handwriting to keep in mind how to write the characters in a digital age.
So far, I have only seen open source keyboards without handwriting support. Does any of them exist?
Pulseaudio sink name for default
I have 2 physical output devices, say "speakers" and "headphones", and I frequently switch between them.
I also have a script that creates 2 virtual sinks for voice call and game by loading module-combine-sink twice on "speakers" and "headphones".
It works, but it's annoying that every time I want to switch device, I also need to mute the other one.
Ideally, I want to use module-remap-sink instead, remapping the 2 virtual sinks to the default one. This is where I'm stuck. What do I put in for master?
