This seems like a dentistry thing. What does this have to do with school kids?

GIRP?

I really enjoy dinkii’s content. Good shit.

Its wild how it took no time at all for the masses to outsource their brains to the first thing that offered the service; no concern at all for the quality of the service either. The last 5 years have just confirmed every shitty thought I’ve had about humanity over the years.

Put GrapheneOS on it.

They see the end in sight. Don’t hold the bag for them.

This is probably the least harmful tinfoil hat on the internet.

Honestly, I don’t get why people are so aggressive towards Sxan. If it bugs you, just block them and be on your way. The first time I saw the thorn it was a curiosity. Once I knew what the intended purpose was it was easy to just shrug and move on. I’ve actually gotten used to it now and its not an inconvenience at all to read.

Constantly harassing someone because they fancy the use of a non-standard character in their comments is ludicrous behaviour, especially since we all have the tools to filter posts/users from our feeds at will; a few clicks and you never have to worry about it again.

Those are some broad brush strokes.

LiveUSB of any distro should be up and running in 2 mins max.

They might be using OpenStreetMap to populate their map. If that’s the case, you should consider updating the map yourself! I update OSM all the time when I go to new places or find discrepancies in the map vs. reality.

If you contribute something like 30 edits per month (sounds like a lot but if you start adding unmarked footpaths, roads or building footprints to the map you can hit 30 edits in a matter of minutes) you can get free OSMand Pro, a map app for Android. Every time I go on a trip I make sure to hit the edit threshold to grant me Pro access for the month. Lots of great features!

Would qSynth provide the features you need? I use it to play back GuitarPro files with soundfonts.

Mind if I ask what your use case is for CLI MIDI? I’m curious.

Now THAT’s a Qud story. 😆

But he’s from Finland.

You are 100% right but as you outlined below the phrasing is a bit off. My personal anecdote is that all of the above helped and is still helping me keep my head on straight. I’m not on meds yet but was diagnosed last year and although the above absolutely does help, it can only help so much.

I’ve hit my personal limit and its time for pharmaceutical help.

I’m so burnt out and jaded on AI that I don’t think I’ll ever use it for any reason ever. I just wish we could put the cat back in the bag. I know that will never happen.

Committing war crimes in your off time?

Having been on the autobahn in a shitbox Renault econobox rental, 100mph is plenty fast. In North America (especially the rust belt) with how shitty the vehicle safety inspection standards are, I honestly don’t trust the people around me to have maintained their car to an adequate standard to be safe driving at 100mph. Don’t even get me started on how shitty people’s driving skills tend to be.

A car is already a lethal projectile at 60mph. I don’t like the idea of increasing the lethality potential for the average highway driving mistake.

Don’t take big steps. Take small ones.

In the running world, there’s this thing called “Couch-to-5k”. Its a progran that can literally take you from square one - the couch - to a non-stop 5k run. Its all about small gains and slow incremental progress.

A few small conscious efforts to disconnect from your phone every day, even for 15 mins at a time, will slowly add up to bigger and bigger gains over time. If you can break the impulse to check your phone by disrupting the immediate availability of your phone, you might be able to get the ball rolling pretty quickly.

Ditch Windows anyway.

Honorable mention for Nobara Linux. 👾🎮
