Man, this reality sucks.

Sounds neat. KDE is a pretty important part of the Linux desktop ecosystem and lots of people are running fixed-release distros.

Yeah, keeping the needed packages around would ballon storage size if you want to do it for an entire directory of distro isos, especially if you’re interested in historic releases (e.g. for hardware compatibility). I’ve actually been experimenting with using locally saved packages lately, mostly because HDD+ethernet is about 20 times faster than downloading packages off the internet for me. It’s fine as a cache if you’re managing several instances of the same distro, but if you want to full-on install several different distros/releases off HDD you’ll need to seriously invest in storage space. Might be worth it though … hmmmmm.

As an insomniac, I hate bird noise …

Kinda like how insects got rarer in recent deades. I know that this is symptomatic of a very bad thing, but I sure don’t miss having a lot of insects around.

I felt so smug. Like “Welcome to my world, you assholes! How do you like being forced to live in a world that wasn’t made for people like you?!”. Unfortunately, it mostly did the opposite of teaching them more empathy.

I love that!

Might be because you’re not just spending 2-3 hours with games, but >30h, often hundreds or even thousands of hours. Making that a compelling experience that people don’t quickly get tired of is much harder.

Feels like an eternity that I last used single-letter drive names …

Know your audience. You’d think attorneys were better at that, but I guess witnesses don’t decide whether someone gets made attorney or not.

Yeah, there are actually exercises that I generally enjoy, like table tennis. Issue is getting to a place with table tennis, finding someone of somewhat comparable skill level who wants to be there at the same time and is fine playing with someone with very little stamina, not injuring myself.

I tried jogging for a couple of years, but it’s just not fun and I never felt like I got a general happiness boost out of it.

A good education? But as they say, you can lead a horse to water but you can’t make it drink.

But it can make life better in general, because endorphins are awesome.

You’re supposed to get endorphins from exercise? I must have been doing it wrong.

I think the way ozempic works should have made it pretty clear that for a lot of people, it’s really not that easy. If they (the people who say that it’s easy to lose weight) had any empathy or basic amounts of trust in science.

TBH I tend to be horny after exercise.

My gut wants me to eat and do all the unhealthy shit until it’s time for my gut to actually deal with all that unhealthy shit.

Multiplayer with randos is to be avoided in general IMO.

Or just single player games in general. If Super Mario is fine (main “story” being that a princess gets abducted by a male villain and rescued by a man), there really aren’t that many games that are significantly worse.

Interesting study. Explicitly about mobile gaming, not PC gaming, though …

Probably contains “AI”, though.
