I find myself thinking that if I get high I will have an easier time ignoring the pain and doing something good like cleaning or working.

That isn’t true, though. Getting high every day will add another problem on top of those you already have.
It reduces your capacity to change things and your capacity to cope with what you can’t change.

That being said, if your pain is physical and chronic, you basically have no other choice but to take drugs.
And weed is one of the better options for dealing with chronic pain.
But then ideally you should do it under medical supervision, and not with the goal of knocking your brain out, but making the pain manageable so you can live your life.
This would likely mean not to smoke lots of weed with lots of THC, but consuming smaller doses of slower-acting edibles with a higher CBD amount.

That’s just sad.

WTF can you link this?

There’s no way in hell 2007 was 18 years ago.

Debian’s build still depends on an xserver.

Then either they changed that, or I didn’t understand it right, while I was using it.
Probably the latter. That being said, my other frustration was a lack of easily discoverable in-depth documentation.
But I wouldn’t be surprised if I was just too dumb to find that, too.

I meant not being able to rummage around in /etc .
Since it is read-only, you always have to copy a config file into your home/user/.config/… before you can edit it.

It was hyperbole. I used Silverblue for a bit trying to avoid layering packages entirely.
But not being able to simply install CLI system tools I’m used to (like btop) or rummaging around in /etc felt really limiting. I realize that’s on me, cause these distros work differently.

Then staying with Windows forever, no matter how shit it’s become and how much it’s changed even compared to just 2 years ago, is the only option.

Fedora Silverblue is basically Android.
You click on apps in a software store to install, it updates itself (without you noticing) on reboot, the terminal is entirely optional and almost entirely useless.

Yes. It’s the only package on my system that still depends on X. Without it, I could remove X entirely.

Repeat after me:

“You do not support a project or its dev in any way by just using the software you got for free.”

In fact, unless you donate, advertize or contribute to the project, you’re a net drain on its resources.

Mine is basically the same, but since it pipes your filesystem layout into aplay instead of random bits, it’s not just brown noise.
It plays you the song of your system.
(also, it can damage your speakers, headphones and/or ears)

I miss the old days when you could do
ls -R / | aplay

There’s no sudo, so it’s perfectly safe!!

Better late than never, I guess.
It’s a goddamn scandal, since the begin of the invasion Europe has transferred more money to Russia than to Ukraine.
And since the oil and gas companies are all state-owned, 100% of that money went straight into the war chest.

Monty Python is timeless ;)

This is actually a Monty Python sketch that originally plays in the first world war.

I actually forgot to tell her my name when I asked for her number.
I basically saved it and fled.
