  • I dare not cross. But perhaps... Pats?

  • Brains are weird so that checks out

  • I don't think the speed of the electrical impulse would change, but yes reaction time would. Perception is more about our brain processing signals than it is about the signals themselves. What you experience yourself as seeing is not the raw image going into your eyes. Slower processing means you're also less likely to see, as in be aware of, details.

    This is why tired driving is incredibly dangerous.

  • I agree that we need to find a way to make this communal rather than individualistic, but government backing isn't that. It would be nice if that happened and all, but with a thesis like that it feels like it's missing the mark calling state-hosting "community ". How do we make self-hosted services something that can serve at the level of the community? Like a load balancing reverse proxy that points to the servers those in the community can host and everyone invites their friends and neighbours.

  • I landed on Mint because it's a simple no fuss distro that feels familiar to Windows refugees. I game on it just fine and use my computer for a lot of things so wanted something general. I bounced off Ubuntu because it has some decisions that are trying to protect you from actually learning Linux, which is a priority to me.

    As a professional spreadsheet pusher, I can confidently say that LibreOffice (the Linux version of MS Office) has been able to do everything I needed that word/excel can, and then some.

    But really any distro will be able to install the software you need, and it's easy to switch. Just try it and have fun.

  • How did it make you better at falling asleep? I'm not particularly interested in lucid dreaming but being able to fall asleep

  • The Bart, the

  • It's called lucid dreaming. I've read that it can be trained.

  • Sounds legit. The monster was probably expecting you to run, and ready to punish it like an elden ring boss punishes dodging backwards.

    But in all seriousness, like any theory out of evolutionary psychology it's of very questionable utility insofar as it is unfalsifiable. I just find it fun to think about and mentally give my brain a "you tried" sticker after a weird dream.

  • There's a theory that dreams serve as a sort of simulation mechanism for our brain to think through how to respond to various potential situations. It argues that is why natural disaster nightmares are so prevalent, and why our dreams are so weird (monkey brain does not understand modern society).

    Anyways, good for them, I'm glad their brain figured out what to do about hypothetical McWeird.

  • I mean i'd count it as trek but it's definitely not the best crew.

  • This is why we need propositional representation - without a system that allows viable alternatives to the lesser evil our country isn't really a democracy.

  • Thanks!

  • When my phone scans a QR code it shows what the URL text is without needing to go to the URL. Any time you're thinking about going to a link you gotta consider the risks, but if it says restrauntname.com/menu I'll feel better about it than if it's a url shortener

  • Plain, readable urls rather than using shortening services is a step in the right direction, but it won't stop lookalike phishing.

  • The more concerning thing going on is Debian potentially embracing AI, which I am very much not a fan of.

    Can you elaborate on this, or point me to where I can read about it? Getting away from AI was a part of the reason I ditched Windows :/

  • You deserve that money more than anyone who parties on a yacht does.

    Besides, it only seems generous because you and them live in fundamentally different financial worlds. If they were actually generous they'd pay enough taxes for you to have fully funded education with a liveable stipend.

  • I tried it out to see how it was coming along a year or so ago. It made Kenshi look polished.
