I deal with the same thing. I had written for several small publications, and one way I overcame my disconnect from emotion was just by stream of conscious describe things. The way I’m subconsciously describing it tends to reveal my feelings for it. Directly, i really feel nothing for it but under the layers I do have a sense of emotion for it.

Gentoo gaming and music production rig working through mostly tty with dwm as a graphical display. I typically stay on tty until I want to play a game, use modern web, or record a song. Otherwise tty with Links browser.

What’s been the toughest sacrifice you’ve made for lent?

I was using an old plasma screen from around 2008/9 for a while until my girlfriend’s sister’s exboyfriend stole it. Their dad gifted me a 55in 4k tv that wasn’t bid on at an auction he was running. That plasma is probably gonna burn down Shithead’s place at some point, it was pretty sketchy.

It’s a cool concept, but just seems short of what I expected. Seems the majority of good stuff is much much further down the line in it. I’d say Deep Rock is better option for this kind of game. Doing missions and fighting hoards of bugs.

Helldivers 2. I just found it boring. I’m waiting still for my refund, I only haf about 1.5 hours in it. But only 45 minutes of gameplay. I managed to only get a few matches and they were very dry.

I use a t480 for my carry laptop with Gentoo. It’s been solid. Replaced both batteries pretty easily, replaced thermal paste, and it’s good to go again. I paid about 160 got it. I had a t460 as well, but gave that to my gf. Either of those were good and not too expensive for a semi modern computer for general usage.

The idea of a a Ready or Not styled game with the comedy and tone of Deep Rock would be killer.

What’s the best place to look for jobs these days? Going on indeed floods me with endless “insurance sales” positions. I tried Dice, but almost every job is wildly out of range for experience to pay. I’ve devolved down to scrolling over an area on google maps and clicking businesses to check their websites.

I used Ubuntu, then Arch, and now Gentoo. Been about 2 years with most of my time on Arch. Gentoo is my favorite though. Just does what I want, how I want.

Most of my girlfriend’s family is deaf. They read fairly slowly and end up usually not really following subtitles very easily. Sign language is fastest for them to understand.

I probably could figure out the issue fast. I just don’t want to.

Well, I knew my brother was getting a new phone soon anyways so getting notified his device changed wasn’t a surprise. Otherwise, getting notified hia device changed without that knowledge may have triggered me to contact him elsewhere to ask if he did. Signal is mostly going to be conversations between close/trusted individuals. It doesn’t tell you what they changed to, the message basically tells you that if this person didn’t legitimately change devices then it might be a bad actor.

I like st and kitty depending on the task

I knew my brother got a new phone because signal told me their usual device had changed.

Anytime family asks for computer help I tell them I haven’t used windows in years so I’ll have no idea what to do either.

About 3 years. I wasn’t good with computers because I mostly just didn’t want to mess with them, due to Microsoft being who they are. I started with Ubuntu, went to Arch, Nixos, and now Gentoo is my standard. I got into it because my brother who’s a security programmer recommended it to me. I use much, much more linux than my brother does now. I don’t have any proprietary systems in my home now. All is FOSS.

I use the bin kernel. I don’t change anything that is kernel level, so the default is fine. It cuts down on updates and install by a lot, but more important is that it’s stable. I personally love gentoo, it’s my favorite and I’ve tried basically everything.

Play Siege. So Linux wins again.
