That our memories are all we really know and have. They’re also volatile, and are usually changed to support a narrative.

Be careful.

Individualism.

SVP pas downvoter un message juste parce que ce n’est pas en anglais. Qu’on ne fasse pas un mal exemple.

Backups of my old computers.

Force all social media to become non-profits.

Depends on what “existential dread” means.

I stand corrected. Still gross asf though.

Same. This place has serious “I use Ubuntu btw” vibes for me.

Why is Archland (btw) so small? Where’s Manjaroland, EndeavourOSville, etc?

What specs do you have that makes GIMP load in 2 milliseconds?

Ugh, Chr*me. Disgusting.

Also, they called themselves National Socialists. After all, would a government ever lie?

Windows is where it is because of Microsoft’s aggression. There’s no essence inside Windows that makes it widespread ex nihilo.

Linux isn’t as widespread as it could be because many people don’t realise it’s a viable alternative to Windows or Mac. It has nothing to do with how many distros there are. Also, newbies are usually recommended Ubuntu or Linux Mint, so it’s not even “so many choices” to begin with.

Also, you do realise you can interact with instances other than yours, right? I use lemm.ee btw.

Tell me you’re new to Linux without telling me you’re new to Linux.

Ack, my deleted comment is visible somehow!

…Anyway, I agree. I wasn’t saying it’s necessarily bad, just that there seemed to be an influx of new posts that sound like they came from Linux virgins.

I tried vanilla Arch once as a VM and got stuck.

I might try it again one day. For now, EndeavourOS is a good middle ground between Arch itself and Manjaro.

It helps to remember that the mind is not a truth machine, but a survival machine.

I recommend learning some psychology. The more you know about how the mind works, the easier it is to understand and spot logical fallacies, both in yourself and others.

Edit: also, you should practice those critical thinking skills instead of just keeping them in theory. You could apply them to past situations, for example.

How is that different from being afraid of terminals?

It’s not like you have to learn everything there is to it at once, you know.

Probably Windows 10 or something equally predatory.

I use EndeavourOS btw
