Ye, I kinda jumped on a soapbox there, didn’t I. My bad

I think you’re missing the point. I don’t use GOG much at all, primarily because I’m lazy and just want all my games in the same place, but this is still fantastic news! It’s about legitimizing Linux gaming at large. It’s signaling to developers that the market share of users they cut off by explicitly excluding Linux (through kernel anti cheat or however else) is growing, and it’s signaling the public that Linux is a legitimate option. It’s one more nail in the coffin of Windows as the defacto gaming OS.

Genetics plays a relatively small part when it comes to intelligence, and even if you have 2 parents as thick as planks, that can be overcome. Even if it that weren’t the case, this line of thinking leads to some very dark eugenicy roads. Not saying this is what you’re suggesting of course, I’m just pointing out that from a societal POV, we can’t afford to just call it natural selection and move on. Not least of all because it’s the completely innocent children that are the ones to suffer the consequences. Also, IMO, it’s not an intelligence thing. It’s a misinformation thing. (insert garfield propaganda meme here) It’s yet another symptom of a much wider movement in the world to discredit science and muddy the waters, deliberately trying to keep people scared and isolated.

I think the fact that you intuitively know which unit should come next is kinda the point though. What’s after a mile? An armpit? How many miles to pit? Is that the same for a nautical pit? Are satellite orbits measured in regular pits or nautical pits?

Honestly I only know because I’ve seen articles discussing it, but I wouldn’t have known myself. I literally can’t listen to his voice without my hackles raising. And sniffing on a video drives me mad too

I’d guess it’s in the script. He has a problem with sniffing and making weird noises.

Ye, I’m finding that with Google. You don’t realize how tightly locked in you are until you try to leave.

A counterpoint though, is that putting 12 eggs into different baskets means having to manage 12 baskets. It’s a trade off

I’m slowly trying to degoogle. Mail is a big concern for me. I have a google business account to handle a few domains. I used a small shared host before and it was crap. Every couple months they’d make some change and all my shit broke. I switched to Google because I knew it would be reliable and largely set and forget. It’s been that. I hate Google though. So if not proton, then who?

Ah, my stack overflow profile pic lol

Congrats! Assuming you mean some kind of stimulant based medication like methylphenidate or dexamphetamine. Been off and on them for 28 years at this point, so here’s some stuff I wish people told me:

The first few weeks are going to be the most productive of your life, but this will fade, because you will build up a resistance to the meds. Your best bet is to use the first weeks to put systems in to place that will help you on the days that it’s not so effective. Also take tolerance breaks. Look into how stoners do it, they have the T break down to an art.

Be aware of what you’re doing when your meds kick in. They can sometimes cause you to hyperfocus on the wrong thing. Best to be staring blankly at what you actually want to be doing rather than “I’ll just check Fedi while I wait” unless you want to be arguing on the internet for the rest of the day.

If you’re struggling to sleep, you can take vitamin C at the end of the day, as well as some L-Theanine, which I found helpful.

Anxiety! Methylphenidate caused some really unpleasant side effects as an adult for me, and is more likely to cause side effects in adults generally. If that happens talk to your doctor about trying dex. I’ve found it better. It also just feels less “speedy” overall.

Also be aware of alcohol! I swear it’s different on days I take my meds, but that’s pretty anecdotal. Possibly just a me thing, but if I end up having a long night, it’s almost always after taking meds.

The meds aren’t a magic bullet but, my god, life is better with them! If I think of anything else I’ll add it

Guess I underestimated the lengths people will go to to cheat!

Who the fuck is so desperate to cheat that they’re building custom kernels!? Like, that just seems beyond far fetched to me.
