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.

I love how most comments on AI posts are just about it being AI.
Keep it up. Seize the memes of production!

That works much better for that meme, too.

Yeah but burning CDs yourself wasn’t a thing until much later.

I didn’t know it was the last time, and I don’t know when exactly it was, but I do know what it was that I burnt:

A Linux install CD

WTF can you link this?

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

Then provide an “other” option with a text box instead.
Make entering some text mandatory if you click it.
No one gravitates toward that.
Besides, a “none” option can just be discarded when you analyze the data.
If all your boxes are social media sites, you have no idea which ones are poisoned by bad data, and by how much.

Debian’s build still depends on an xserver.

In Catholic Church politics, he was the middle-of-the-road candidate.
On the one side, he protected priests who sexually abused children.
But on the other side, he was never caught diddling kids himself.
A true moderate.

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.

So Die Welt floated the idea to make people think there’s a reason for a national emergency.

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.
