Yeah that makes sense. I'll have a look into VGA converters, thanks for the tip!

I'd have to go back and find the comment where someone told ME but at that rate I should just search for it myself. I'll bookmark this comment so I don't forget to.

Hmm, okay I'll consider cheaper options. Thanks for the feedback. Latency isn't too much to deal with I take it if you've been sing it for that long.

Funny you say that, because I have an old laptop that has a native VGA output on board and I'm testing it out right now! It works and Mint outputs through it just fine, but I'd need to get a VGA to composite adapter. Buuuut, if I'm gonna do that, I might as well just get an HDMI to composite adapter for the compatibility.

Also, any USB to composite/s video/component adapters? That sounds like a great workaround.

Also yeah, I know latency will exist, but it can always be minimized.

Be weary of Stoat. I hear they used AI "generated" code in their software and only quit it because they got caught.

None unfortunately. That's why I'm asking about composite specifically. My only other option is RF lmao

Indeed has something like that now? It's bad enough that empolyers use this shit to write the job descriptions, then use it to reject our resumes without reading them, but now the job hosting site itself is shoving it down our throats.

"Hey, I got an idea how we can stop this worsening of the already inherently flawed job market. Let's fight fire with fire, grease fires with water, and napalm with more napalm! Works every time."

You hit the nail on the head, my friend.

Assuming they are disabled, which a passerby like myself cannot be expected to know, that does not excuse the deliberate choice to use ethically unsound technology. It's especially true in this case, as even if a disability limits your potential as a visual artist, you'll gladly commission somebody if you have any respect for the craft. I know this because I too have such a disability, and it hurts. It hurts knowing I might forever depend on the hands of others to bring some of my ideas to life, but you know what? That only strengthens my appreciation of visual artists and their work. I'd rather commission a talented artist to mix my silly brainwaves with their personal flourishes and create something meaningful, ten times over, then throw some words at an industrialized theft machine to get soulless slop.

Agreed. Also OP is the moderator of PeerTube .wtf which I recently moved away from on account of being told I should waste my time, energy, and (nonexistent) artistic ability creating artwork for someone who already decided to "generate" slop instead of commissioning an actual artist.

Edit: lol I'm stoopid I just realized that I might be the whole reason this post exists hahahaha

Oh for sure, that's one the benefits of open source stuff, you can do that in the first place. I just mean that seeing blame be misplaced gets under my skin, especially when it comes from such a disingenuous place.

Thank you. It's so infuriating to come into threads like this to find "If you don't like it, do it yourself" and shit like that. All it does is remove blame from the person making an ignorant decision, and place it on those rightfully upset because "Maybe the dev wouldn't have been forced to use the environment destroying plagiarism machine if you have been more generous with your time."
