Bluesky isn’t a Fediverse player. It’s a Jack Dorsey project, currently ‘incubating’ until it’s ready to be sold to an oligarch.

For a healthy and affordable diet: beans, rice, bread, collards, kale, mackerel, salmon, sardines, raisins, oatmeal, almonds, and chicken.

In school we teach physical hygiene. So why not emotional hygiene? Education should include basics of how the mind works, such as the dynamics of our emotions; a healthy regulation of emotional impulse and the cultivation of attention, empathy, and caring; learning to handle conflicts nonviolently; and a sense of oneness with humanity.

Be prepared to ditch a few apps when switching to Linux! Most games work great, but those sneaky, spyware-heavy ones? Not so much. (/me looks at GTA Online & League.)

Firefox has experienced declines in profit and market share, while the CEO’s compensation has increased. This situation raises questions about the company’s performance and priorities.

Self-criticism fueled my anxiety and depression. Compassion and acceptance have significantly improved my well-being.

A second browser window is the real solution. Or simply accept the chaos.

Meditation is about a fundamental shift in the mind. Aim for a transformation, a steadying, a stabilization. Think of it as mental recalibration – a process called samadhi, a perfected state of meditative focus.

This focus breaks down into two main avenues: Shamatha, the ‘calm-abiding’ meditation, which cultivates stillness, and Vipassana, the analytical meditation, which seeks insight. These aren’t separate practices but tools designed to administer your mental actions. It’s about gaining some control over the internal monologue that insists on narrating your existence.

The most interesting part is that in the absence of external stimuli, the mind reveals its true nature. Like discovering the map isn’t the territory. It implies that the path to enlightenment isn’t found, but rather emerges when the search itself ceases. Meditating on the state beyond meditation leads to… well, sublime Enlightenment.

I’ve tried many desktop environments: Flux, Gnome, KDE, XFCE, Cinnamon, Mate, Enlightenment, OpenBox, TWM, and screens. Naturally, Gnome prevailed. I can’t resist a system that allows for endless tweaking.

I like Liquid Prompt[1] (A useful adaptive prompt for Bash & Zsh) Examples:

θ71° 2z termight@zone51:~/docker/invidious master(+34/-17)* ±

Zim just works.

Using dino, blabber, gajim, psi+, or conversations, but will go back to pidgin when it adds xmpp to v3.
