hello!! im a fem-leaning enby that doesnt want any body hair on me at all. every few months ive shaved myself clean and it feels very nice (if imperfect with bumps and redness 2 to 3 days after i shave) but grows back in not long.

recently ive been trying to shave my body clean atleast once a week or so before everything grows back to a long length again. my method is to get in the bath and soak, put body wash/soap all over the area i want to shave, then start gently shaving across the surface, against the grain.

the first time i did it more recently it was slow and the usual, redness and bumps but nothing too bad. the second time i did it, cutting down the short hairs on my legs and body n such, i started noticing dark red spots forming on my upper legs (my legs seem to be most affected by my shaving), and the third time i did it just recently, the leg i was shaving started to actively start hurting and bleeding in spots..

is there ANYTHING i can do to make my shaving less. like this??? it grows back so fast but shaving frequently before it grows back alot just makes things worse. ive tried shaving alongside the grains direction but that results in literally nothing when the hairs are already short, and just doesnt cut the hairs enough at all when its long, and is generally just less effective. i genuinely cant think of what to do at this point outside of either letting my legs bleed or putting up with the hair that i hate so much.

sorry for the long post, just got kind of frustrated with my shaving and needed to rant a lil while also asking for some help. thanks in advance!

hi!! ive recently been gifted a hori nintendo switch pro controller and wanted to use it on my pc, since i dont really have any other controllers for my pc that are in good condition right now. problem is, it does not work. at all.

the controller is successfully paired and connected through kde's bluetooth menu, and it even registers it as "game controller", however in the game controller system settings menu, it says theres no controllers detected, and no games work at all. ive tried using some udev rules i found online, ive tried blacklisting hid-nintendo, to that breaking more things so i reverted it, and none of this is working. does anyone know how to get this controller to actually work??

"sudo dmesg | grep -i nintendo" gives me:

hi!! i have a secondary install of windows 10 for my wmr vr headset on my 110gb ssd. originally i was able to fit a decent few games onto the install with space to spare but now can only have like 2-3 at a time max, if im lucky. im constantly bothered by low storage space on my windows install now.

is windows 10 getting bigger over time or am i just going crazy? if it does get bigger over time, is there any way to reduce the size of/debloat windows back to its original install size? thanks.

os build number is version 22h2 build 19045.6466

please dont answer and say "discord". neither of us like using discord and my friend doesnt have even have one. does anyone have any suggestions for software that runs on linux that allows ones screen to be shared alongside computer/application audio to them? the best we've been able to find are online websites that get the screen sharing part down but have horrendous noise cancellation over the audio, silencing stuff like music in whatever we're watching. thanks.

EDIT: this is over the internet to a friend across the world in a different country and not local network, probably should have noted that before. using smth like hamachi to make a given program work is fine though.

hello! i recently ish bought an htc incredible android 2.3.4 phone from a thrift store and have been making it my own for awhile. ive gotten discord working ish with droidcord (though i can only view messages, not send any), but i dont really like using discord, and would like to use my other messaging apps on it too. is there any known way to potentially get signal or telegram working on such an old android version? i tried downloading old apks that support android 2 but they didnt work. thanks in advance!

before you mention it, no, the disable titlebar option in the customize menu doesnt work. it does nothing.

seemingly at random, firefox on kde seems to refuse to get rid of its titlebar, i dont know if im doing something wrong, looking at my pc slightly funny when it starts up or anything but it feels like theres no rhyme or reason to when it happens.

usually its fixed by a simple reboot or relogin but its staying persistent now and i cant get rid of the titlebar. does anyone know what could possibly be making it act like this??? and or how to fix it?? thanks

does anyone know of any brushes or any methods of getting across the look of the soft fabric you see on most plushies? i think minky fabric is the name but im not sure. methods/brushes for nailing the look of stitched on details for stuff like the eyes or mouth would also be nice to know of but im mainly concerned about just getting the look of the plushie fabric down. thanks in advance!
