Same here, played around, but mint keeps pulling me back in. 10+ years going strong

This, yes if the world did not pollute and all of us changed tomorrow it would have been the best, but let’s not lie, this ship has not changed direction. I really think this will give us time and save the most we have to eventually change the ship’s direction. We have basically already geoengineered our way here, let’s geoengineer our way to a better world

Vices are a natural part of being human. But vices can easily become difficult to manage in a healthy manner. But it sounds like you are lonely and your religion and the service from adult workers is trying to fill the void. I get it, life is hard and tough and very lonely.

Why not try to take it easy on yourself. We are all fallible, but we should strive to better ourselves, look it seems that is exactly what you are trying and wanting. This might seem stupid but I started jogging last year. I fucking sucked, but someone told me try moving half an hour a day 2-3 times a week and in a year you would have succeeded in something to further build upon. So I jogged a block and basically died, but almost a year later it changed my life, I joined a jogging group at work, made new friends and running partners, and comradeship. I am not a jogger, still doing a 5km at 57 minutes yesterday, a parkrun with friends. But my point is not to start jogging, but maybe find a hobby or activity that allows you to interact with people, no matter how stupid, and if it is something to be active then there may be a double benefit.

This will not solve your issues or vices, but I learned little by little it becomes a lot, and maybe working on yourself physically or socially, even if you are a fish out of water, will yield results in different ways. It sounds like you are working on yourself spiritually, I hope since you started you have seen a difference. But changing yourself will require work, that is what makes it so satisfactory because you worked for this change, but there isn’t a quick fix or and shortcut, but the answer is easy, small efforts everyday, results in big hard worked changes after a while.

Good luck on your journey, I hope you are able to deal with your vices and issues in a healthy but productive way.

Look I know I am kicking a hornet’s nest here. First of all I am a Linux supporter, I have used the green Ubuntu since 2012, and I have been gaming on it since 2022.

But I am really curious about how the new ally 2 with the Xbox tweaked version of win 11 is going to turn out. Not that I would use it, if I get a handheld it will probably run Bazzite. But since Bazzite is basically a purpose built Linux OS for handhelds, I think the best comparison would be the Xbox team’s purpose built Windows 11 for handhelds.

I still believe Microsoft will take the loss even with the tweaked version, but just like how we will cry if they put for example Hannah Montana Linux and Microsoft beats it somehow in certain examples with their new Xbox win 11 mobile.

Is this not good, does it not mean we have moved past the population growth boom and to a more stable population.

In fact less humans would be better for basically everyone, Earth included, except people that need more people to fuel their greed. Look at the black plague and how that brought prosperity afterwards.

Oh that is oligarchy Comrade

Well I love Mint, but nothing is stopping you from experimenting with other distros, now and then I try a couple new distros to see if there is anything that fits me better, but I personally keep coming back to mint. Nothing wrong with sticking with something that works, mint is really intuitive in my opinion, why it just works for me

I cannot speak for this area of science, but in my field China’s research papers, for example rock mass failure response to complex stress states, are like a god send, really quality work. This is my opinion in my field but if I had to extrapolate… Remember the Soviets with all their propaganda had amazing scientists

What do you mean? What distro are you using? And what card are you using?

Wait isn’t it that they changed from three unlocks a year to only one device per Mi account a year. As far as I know you can still unlock one single device a year

I do not know why, but I loved episode 3. Call me tasteless but as a school child going alone into the theater, being awestruck at the epic conclusion to the prequel space opera is still an amazing memory

Is this like milf, like does the gulf stand for Grandfather U would Like to Fuck?

True, they are not idiots, most of the time, but the article mentions 30W only, I know they will be working at lower wattages, but their focus should not be 30W, they should say we are targeting 5-10W as our main focus. Right now they sound like they are only focusing on fps pumping as much power to say they beat AMD, instead of a more holistic approach of saying they want the same fps as AMD at 3-5W lower power consumption

God Intel, we do not want 30W mobile chips, we want 5W mobile chips if possible. The more juice it sucks the less mobile gaming we have. But I really do wish for more competition in the segment, especially now that SteamOS is being made available on other devices.

Jeez is this an ad, I thought my pop-up blockers were strong, clearly this site has shown me that their ad kungfu is stronger.

My advice, stay the fuck away from this ad infested website

Ok first of $50 billion! Second… Fuck what else is there except to see a YouTube of someone super glue their asshole with this new stuff and why he, because it will be a dumb guy unfortunately, needs us to donate to his gofundme for an asshole transplant

Oh no I disagree, I would rather be the richest person in a poor country than be the poorest person in a rich country. But I grew up in a low-ish, not nearly the lowest, income country so maybe I am just used to it.

Looks like everyone is jumping on the video game movie bandwagon, now that the comic book movies look to be milked dry. Hopefully they realise making quality movies will be… Who am I kidding it is most likely just going to be cash grabs until they have left a husk after draining the IP for all it is worth

Green Ubuntu squad is here and ready to serve

Some of us like to tinker. We really get satisfaction of having a weird niche filled and even if it comes at the cost of stability and other issues. Heck my Custom Roms used to be more up to date with security updates than phones that were older than one year.

I could use kernels that undervolts my processor to give me better battery life. It allowed features that even 5 years ago were on the custom ROM scene still very absent from modern phones.

But the most important part for me was learning, discovering. If I tried a new ROM I would spend hours going through certain roms settings. If there is a glitch, learn how to diagnose and try to fix it, or learn to send a logcat to the developer.

It was like a fun hobby. I learned how to fix some of my old phones, like screen replacement, and learned how to cure uv reactive glue. So many other things and I was just a noob.

But it gave freedom. I understand iPhone and the other high brands are easy to use, have gimmicky features and all, but dammit I have freedom to have my weird niche phone, with multiple breaking features and I loved it because it just worked.

If Google truly did hold security as its main concern, it would have opened the play Store, yet we know now they only wish to protect their monopoly
