I've been thinking our 'oiliness' might be one of our most striking characteristics. If I wipe a finger over any smooth surface, I leave residue. Our exteriors are incredibly greasy compared to most technology.
I had amdgpu complete freezes for the longest time. Logs said it was 'lost from bus'.
Turned out it only happened while running Libre Office. Never found a fix/workaround, so I basically don't do work in Linux on my amd machine.
Note that my (implied) emphasis is on experience. If the experience is what is important, convenience isn't actually what creates desire paths. Instead it's the experience of making a personal choice to increase efficiency, of joining a club of renegades who brave the path less traveled, etc.... So maybe allowing for that experience in the managed environment is another way of limiting desire paths.
I wonder if the experience of 'shortcut' is part of the motivation, so that as soon as you've established a path, what constitutes 'shortcut' also changes. I'd be interested to know if curved paths were more desire path-resistant, because they appeal to an intuition about adjusting (and therefore optimizing) course.
The inner monologue is thinking by 'hearing' your own voice 'speaking' in your mind.
It's the mental equivalent of literally talking to yourself.

Yes, in the sense that they hear themselves 'voicing' out their own thoughts. If you have the ability to form images in your mind, it's like that, but with sound.
They won me over since Sunshine on Fedora was a hassle to install and gave me corrupted graphics. Wouldn't be surprised if Fedora's codec-hell had something to do with it. On Bazzite everything I needed was preinstalled and worked out of the box.
Taxonomists will be the first to tell you the field itself isn't an exact science. I think some people find that to be more exiting.
