I guess, but this just kind of redefines how most people think of egoism/selfishness/altruism etc. Where does it lead? If making people happy is selfish, and making people happy is ‘good’, does that mean any selfish act is ‘good’? Does it really take away from ‘good’ acts if the performer derives happiness from them?

All of them.

This right here is what keeps me from charging for Jellyfin access.

There are already a lot of open models and tools out there. I totally disagree that Linux distros or DEs should be looking to bake in AI features. People can run an LLM on their computer just like they run any other application.

My wife got me into Rihanna, and Lana Del Ray.

Yeah I can’t really justify the cost right now either. If I was more patient, I could just wait until we retire another Thinkpad at work :p

Right on. If I was buying new, I’d be looking at Framework or Tuxedo.

Thanks for the recs. I am looking pretty hard at a T580 refurb on eBay right now. I am looking for a bit more modern processor than most of what you have suggested, I think.

This will definitely work. I did this recently when upgrading a Steam Deck to a bigger drive. Other suggestions below are probably faster though.

Everything does suck. But it will suck whether you pay attention to it or not. Unplug whenever you need to. If you’re in the US that goes double at least through the election. Also, something that really helped me out of a similar pit of despair, was finding ways to volunteer. Getting face to face with some problems you can actually do something about (i.e, feeding hungry people) is a good way to ground yourself. Good luck out there.

Ubuntu Feisty Fawn. 2007. I was looking for new and exotic ways to avoid writing papers.

Having someone like you there is a huge help. I have found that doing some physical activity can help by putting my consciousness in my body rather than my mind. I’ve never tried this, but I’ve heard that chewing on peppercorns can help. Xanax will also definitely help!

I looked up dampers, and I’m confused about how they are functionally different than closing/opening the vent? I’m sure I’m not understanding though. Is it just about the location?

How’s the serenity?

Changes constantly.

Motivate themselves into action.

Smoked weed.

Linux Mint Debian Edition.

It’s all good honestly. I was being overdramatic about it all, and should have handled it all more gracefully, but I was an inexperienced kid.

That’s cool. I’ve been confused by their pricing. The cheaper licenses seem to be temporary ($1/day).
