Ah! Glad to hear that. Yeah, starting new meds can be rough for the first while. Especially if you’re experiencing side effects (which in my experience at least vastly diminished over time). Good luck, and I hope you’re able to start getting some better sleep. That’ll make a huge difference once possible.
If you can’t sleep and are trying to kill time anyway, why not look into something like mindfulness meditation? It might help you keep some of those anxious thoughts in check to the point where you can actually focus on something to take your mind off of whatever is causing your issues.
I’m sure it’s not for everyone, but it helped me a lot when I was at my worst.
Also, you indicate that your anxiety and depression are due to some personal issues (which it sounds like will no longer be an issue in a month). If I’m understanding that correctly, that sucks for the time being but I’m glad to hear it has an expiration date. If those are feelings you deal with chronically, however, and you have the means to do so, I highly suggest trying to find professional help. The right meds can make an absolute world of difference, and talk therapy can help you straighten out how you approach those feelings.
Whatever route you take, I hope this passes for you soon and you start to feel so much better. Those feelings suck, but life can absolutely get better.
I actually very recently tried it. I’m sure it’s great but something about the UI or maybe general paradigm switch versus apps like Notion really confused me. It looks great though, so I’m sure I’ll give it another go sometime when I have a bit more time to really learn it. Nonetheless, I appreciate the recommendation!
I’m still stuck on Notion. I keep looking for OSS alternatives but nothing I’ve tried has all the features I want.
My reaction when I saw file explorer:
One I’m not seeing on here is The Birthday Boys, which had Bob Odenkirk with a bunch of (if I remember correctly) young UCB comedians. If you’ve ever seen the show Love or listened to the Doughboys podcast, it has Mike Mitchell from those.
It’s definitely not for everyone. My wife and I have a lot of overlap in our comedy preferences and are both big fans of SNL and everything Mitchell & Webb have done. On the other hand, I Think You Should Leave is my all-time favorite sketch show, but she couldn’t even get through the first season. It’s got a real sense of absurdism and weird social interactions that aren’t for all tastes.
Don’t feel bad if you can’t get into it - there’s tons of great TV out there. No need to waste your life on one show just in case you don’t like it. If you weren’t into the first few episodes you probably won’t like the rest as it’s all the same style.
Yeah, I grew up collecting vinyl so that’s probably what got me into the habit all those years ago.
Yes! When I discover a new band I always like to listen to their stuff chronologically, as you said. At times this can be rough. Some bands start off very strong, but often bands take a few albums before they get good and I have to slog through a few before I find one I like.
I’m having the opposite problem right now. Radiohead’s first two albums are some of my favorite ever, but I’ve never been able to get into their stuff after those two. Currently I’m making an effort to go through the rest of their discography in order to see if there’s anything else I like. I’m 5 albums in and there’s been a few specific tracks I like, but none of the albums thus far compare to those first two for me. As an album-based listener this is weirdly stressful to me.
Right? Though just imagine if routers ran Windows 11. They’d need 8 GB of RAM, phone home constantly, and have ads on the admin dashboard. Also, shoehorned in AI.
I probably shouldn’t post this. Don’t want to give them ideas.
I’m old and vastly prefer to listen to albums in their entirety rather than just specific songs. I’ll still sometimes listen to an album on repeat a bunch, but I think this effect is slightly dulled on me because I’m listening to 10ish tracks on repeat rather than just the one.
My wife though - she’ll play the same 3 albums on repeat for a goddamn year at a time. I still can’t stand The Hives because they’re all I heard in our car for far too long.
Great comment, but something I’d disagree on:
As an example, Mint is built on the Ubuntu base, Bunsen is built on Debian, etc. These are often called flavors as they’re not considered distros but rather something built on top of a distro.
From my understanding, those would generally still be referred to as distros in their own right. I’ve always understood a flavour to be a variant of a specific distro. For example, kubuntu is the KDE flavour of Ubuntu.
Yeah, it’s the same for me. Work is so I have the money I need to live, but free time is so much more valuable to me.
People like this, by simply existing, make me feel like a real dumb piece of shit.
My breaks from real work are video games, TV, and this sort of shit posting we’ve got going on in this thread right here.
Package manager: This package contains an updated sshd_config file, would you like to replace your existing file with the package maintainer’s updated file?
Me, every time: LOL, no
You do have to worry about some things though. I couldn’t say what those things are, but I have a hunch that temple_os users have some pretty unique worries.
Yeah, I’ve heard Photoshop can be rough. Here’s hoping someone figures those out for you so you can find your way to the promised land. These days everything important to me works in Linux and I’m never going back.
Are you absolutely sure the programs you need don’t work in wine/proton? The last few years have been a renaissance in terms of increased compatibility.
I think this counts as an example of mutualism. The human benefits from not having to hold its phone, and the cat benefits from warms on chin.
Super cute, though the music sounded weirdly ominous to me. It sounded less baby otter playing with toys and more baby Cthulhu playing with humans as toys.
