I did a bit of 1-D. Did a little bit of spring collab advanced lobby but heard that strawberry jam was a bit more polished so I’ve been trying the SJ expert lobby and it’s very hard (~10 hours per level so far). I think it’s in the sweet spot of difficulty for me rn

I’ve been playing a whole heck of a lot of Celeste lately. Been having a good time with some modded content after clearing all the vanilla content

I’m on a hollow knight replay (only played through it once) and getting stuck is just part of the ride

Interesting post. There definitely has been an increase in autism diagnoses which stems from it being much more widely accepted and looked into. There are significant differences between what’s described in the post and what I know of autism though. While I think what you show in this post is problematic, not 1:1 with autism at all IMO

Brain off. Guns go pew

Largely most distros shake out to be about the same. Anything that runs a more aggressive release cycle (Fedora, opensuse tumbleweed, etc) will support newer hardware better. Slower release cycles (debian, Ubuntu, etc) may not support the latest and greatest.
The more important pick will be your desktop environment (gnome, KDE, etc). This will impact how you use the system more. There’s plenty of information out there but feel free to DM me if you have more specific questions

Most reached EOL in may of this year.

Thanks for sharing this article. It was a neat read

Interesting. I knew you were supposed to avoid just hanging out in your bed but I hadn’t really considered Doing Something I consider as bed time routine in bed to be problematic. Thanks for the info!

Hey can you elaborate on the sleeping in bed point. I like to read a chapter or three before going to sleep, especially to get my eyes off a screen

• What are your reading habits like? I try to read at a minimum a chapter a night. That said I read a lot thanks to my commute to and from work 3x per week. I seem to read about a book a week. I do it for pleasure and I’ve gotten better about not finishing books. Though I will probably finish a book even I’m not loving it. It has to be bad for me to not finish.
  In being an avid reader I think it’s important and valuable in reading some stuff that isn’t as fun (mostly classics). That said I think people who don’t read much can steer clear easily. It’s a hobby and do whatever you like doing the most.

• What do you like to read? Mostly fantasy or SciFi. Ive been branching out into more traditional fiction genres and I’ll read some historical things from time to time. I’m not tied down to a genre but I find poorly written fantasy can get carried by cool concepts or world building.

• What kind of stage of life are you in, and how does that affect it? I just started my career and I’ve been reading all my life. My mum made sure I would read since I was quite young and I liked it. I’ve had ups and downs ans I definitely read more now than I did in high school and university thanks to my long commute.

• What else? I’ll reiterate, do what you like even if it is to not read. Live life your way. That said, if you wanna get into reading, setting yourself a page or chapter target daily is a good place to start. Don’t worry about how many books you read in a period. Sit back and find enjoyment in what you are reading or did read, not stress in what you didn’t read.

I’ll throw you a book recommendation because it’s always gotten me out of a reading slump: the Scorpio races by Maggie stiefvater. It’s targeted at younger folks but I think it’s an extremely enjoyable read still and has plenty to Enjoy for anyone

Thanks for the input!

Here’s my keymap. This image is ever so slightly outdated but should give you a decent idea for my keymapping. If you have questions feel free to lemme know.

It took a lot of work to get it here, lots of trial and error and moving stuff. I have my combo timeout really low so that changed what I could use for combos.

I’ve considered getting Chicago steno but they’re so darn expensive lol. You think they’re worthwhile?

I know I was having issues trying to transcode media the server wasn’t able to transcode. I didn’t know it wouldn’t transcode period if device could handle it. I feel like I was always transcoding no matter what but maybe not the case. I certainly would not consider myself an authority on the inner workings of Jellyfin

I see what you’re saying. I don’t really mind doing the transcoding but I’d never looked to turn it off. Maybe it’ll be a feature added at some point.

You may disagree but I’m of the opinion that making an open source version of an app is enough of a reason to warrant it’s creation but to each their own of course. Thanks for sharing your input.

I’ve never used Plex. I’m curious what issues you’ve had with jellyfin that makes you say this. I’ve had nothing but positive experiences with it, along with a friend who’s been using it a lot

I thought manuals were a type of car transmission

I only use windows at work rn so I don’t really get into the guts of it much. It works well enough most of the time but I’ve had to adjust and most of the adjustments are dealing with annoyances like the start menu. I also can’t just install arbitrary apps to solve all the issues. I appreciate the points you’ve made but I’ve largely found the usability of this OS to be meaningfully worse than Windows 10 and incomparably worse than my recent linux experience.

I haven’t really had any of these issues. Those would certainly be enough to push me away. I know I was having somewhat similar issues with consuming the content before enabling hardware acceleration. I haven’t tried changing audio tracks so idk there. I’m sorry to hear you’ve been having a bad time
