In summary, Linux is and Operating System that gives you control over your machine - not the other way around coughwindowscough. With that power, however, you can also do a lot more harm to your machine if you don’t continuously keep learning and stay curious.

It’s high risk, but high reward (especially as a new user). There’s something about learning how your computer works (via Linux) that continues to captivate me after many years of use.

Certainly! Here’s a concise summary of the article “AI is rotting your brain and making you stupid” by Rich Haridy, published on May 25, 2025:

• AI tools may reduce critical thinking by doing tasks for us.
• Relying on AI can lead to “cognitive offloading.”
• This may harm creativity and problem-solving skills.
• The author shares personal concerns from tech use.
• Suggests using AI mindfully to avoid mental decline.

Let me know if there’s anything else I can help you with!

this appear to however only be a frontend ui and doesn’t change anything on the data collection / OS right? still - looks very cool, will definitely check it out.

okay, thanks for this - gonna have to do some research

do you have to set it up yourself or does it come pre-configured? i ask cause i just got out of setting up my own server and as a non-tech native, it was EXHAUSTING (rewarding, yes - but time intensive).

EDIT: for the non-historians among us, this was Ernst Röhm, head of the Nazi Brownshirts (SA), a paramilitary organization used to primarily cause havoc amongst the population and competing political parties, but also in charge of protection details for high ranking NSDAP officials, later replaced by the SS when Hitler had him murdered due to lack of trust.

I am ironman

makes a lot of sense honestly. I never knew the numbers behind it (tks for sharing). when I was ripping witcher 3 on nobara and then changed my OS back to Windows due to work related issues, I felt a SIGNIFICANT performance drop. the game became laggy, when it used to run top on Linux with the same settings. good share - the time for Linux gaming is now.

Poah, ok let’s do this:

• reading a book
• interacting with your smartphone
• using the fridge
• standing in an elevator
• street signs
• restaurant menus
• tapping someone on the shoulder (vertical not horizontal interaction)
• looking at paintings
• standing in line
• observing a statue
• interacting with your closet
• looking someone up and down
• etc, etc, etc

Just some I could come up with on the fly

Yes - but have you been on your smartphone lately? Have you read a book? Looked in the mirror? Interacted with your vertical (hopefully not too horizontal) girlfriend / boyfriend? Sometimes I feel like the human eye is too limited upwards / downwards.

doing god’s work - thanks!

hold up… I thought proton for good left the fediverse, starting with mastadon for the centralized socials?

I don’t know, why?

two things I feel into a rabbit hole about recently were how LSD became illegal and the Fermi paradox.

so LSD, once hailed as a powerful tool for psychological healing and spiritual exploration, became illegal largely due to political and cultural backlash. as the drug became associated with the 1960s counterculture, anti-establishment movements, and civil unrest, governments—particularly in the U.S.—moved to criminalize it more out of fear of social disruption than scientific reasoning. the backlash overshadowed promising medical research, leading to decades of prohibition.

the Fermi Paradox points out the contradiction between the high probability of alien civilizations existing in our vast universe and the complete lack of evidence or contact with them. despite billions of stars and potentially habitable planets, we haven’t seen signs of intelligent life—raising big questions like: Are we alone, or is something stopping civilizations from contacting or surviving long enough to do so?

My Feedly mainly

Especially in Ghost Recon Wildlands or on the Colorado map of Hitman. If you know you know.

I also never liked the twitter format of “tweets”, there’s too much going on at once and I feel overstimulated
