Mountains where I can see clouds rolling gently over peaks and trees. No matter how often I see it I'm always filled with an overwhelming sense of peace and awe

I hate that you're not wrong. Gotta get rid of the current "winner take all" electoral system first though...

Remember when "web2.0" and "social" (in the Tech sense) were just buzzwords?

Iirc, Android is based on Linux, so not too far fetched

I posted this somewhere else but I struggled into adulthood with analog clocks and learning to read them changed my relationship with time. I forced myself to learn to do it because I read about how it can improve time management skills. Now even my smart watch has an analog watch face, and one that puts my daily schedule onto the clock itself even.

Being able to read the hands and their movement kind of give a better sense of the units and movement of time itself. Totally recommend learning to properly read analog time.

I get that can help some people if coffee is part of your morning ritual. I never did coffee as a first first thing, setting it up the machine and then going about getting ready was always how I've done it. But I totally get, if you need it first thing a timer is great.

In my life personally, still can't think of any appliance off the top of my head that needs to know what time it is.

 

If I'm not sharing, I just drop them back into the bucket/bag. If I'm sharing, I'll just eat them.

Recently though a bucket I was sharing had so many unpopped kernels I started worrying for my gut. Had me wondering how everyone else handles this.

So how does everyone handle unpopped kernels?

 

Any recommendations for something like "Amusing Ourselves to Death" but written after the internet became mainstream?

Something recently had me thinking about the book "Amusing Ourselves to Death" that made me want to give it a re-read, and as relevant as the main ideas still are for today, I wondered if there is a more recent book that is just as well received on the topic of society's addiction to amusement.

 

I can't stop laughing but I also have no friends who read Stormlight to share this with 😭

 

Nowadays I find a lot of games feel like too much work and/or anxiety when I just want to relax for like, 30 minutes to an hour after a long day. On the other hand, the games specifically designed to help you unwind just feel boring imo.

In the past I've felt like Outer Wilds scratched this itch, cause the whole experience was engaging but generally relaxed. There was a mystery that kept me hooked and the exploration and movement was fun in and of itself. I also felt like Subnautica filled this role since it was very much at my own pace, with anxiety producing portions which could for the most part be avoided or minimized, and also there was a clear objective to fulfill, get off the planet.

So what games do you play when you just wanna relax?

 

Complete Linux noob so apologies if anything I say or ask about sounds dumb.

I want to start making the switch to Linux and I've got most things figured out I think. I plan on putting either Mint or Fedora on my old Surface Go gen 1 because it's not critical for my work and potentially losing some functionality there won't cause huge issues, but my main use of it right now is taking notes on Onenote that I can then view and edit from my other devices as well.

Looking into Onenote and alternatives on Linux, I keep running into comments about the lack of handwriting support or no straightforward answers about stylus support. Anything Lemmy recommends I try? Also, any advice on running Linux on the Surface Go in general is welcome. Found some resources already but doesn't seem like people do this often.
