They aren’t symbolic links. They’re closer to hard links, IIRC, in that they share the inode with other file paths.

ofc /proc isn’t a “real” file system so the metaphors break down a little; it’s not backed by disk, it’s a view into the kernel’s process information exposed as a file system

[The Pope] does not bite people.

John XII and Benedict IX did a whole lot of unpapal things; if you told me they bit some people I’d believe you.

I can’t see anything about the moon’s period lengthening, but wikipedia has this Timeline of the far future which includes:

100,000 [years from now]:The proper motion of stars across the celestial sphere, which results from their movement through the Milky Way, renders many of the constellations unrecognizable.

3 million: Due to tidal deceleration gradually slowing Earth’s rotation, a day on Earth is expected to be one minute longer than it is today.

600 million: Tidal acceleration moves the Moon far enough from Earth that total solar eclipses are no longer possible.

so that’s neat. there’s a lot of other things on that list you might be able to weave in, too

I’m guessing the next things aren’t fun / interesting / dopamine-giving, or at least aren’t as much so as the current thing. adhd loves dopamine.

is there anything you enjoy that’s also short you could use as a kind of treat or reward to entice your brain into stopping doing the current thing? go for a walk outside, pet a kitty, literally eat a snack you love? might help your brain with transitioning

now this is the kind of quality posting I come to lemmy for

depends on what the news is (was) about

you can probably find a relevant community for a given subject

or you could start an “old news” (“olds”?) community just for them

The modern longevity movement is a vampire disclosure program

Emacs is a pretty good operating system

if we were living in a simulation, what would that change for you?

assuming we’re not in a simulation, we already can’t prove anyone but ourself is conscious, and even that’s a stretch

How can I check the viability without building the software or hardware?

1. see if the thing already exists

• if it does and is successful, great, viable idea. now figure out how the existing thing sucks (see 2)
• if not, great, maybe an untapped niche

2. figure out who the intended users are and talk to them. what do they want? what do they hate?

• filter through a fine mesh of common sense, pragmatism and cynicism

3. build a basic version that adresses some subset of identified needs (and that users hate less), get feedback, iterate

it helps when you are an intended user since that’s a tighter feedback loop
