Having a Moto, this is freaking exciting. Because the Pixel’s iPhone-wannabe qualities (lack of expandable storage, chiefly) irk me so.

I dunno if I’d call this hallucination, although I get what you’re saying and I agree with you! But wouldn’t “interpretation” be a more apt description?

If someone is seeing a message out of this very text, rather than the strict “material reality” of each individual letter just being an arbitrary glyhph, or each pixel, or each little diode or electron forming those pixels…

…to call this miraculous level of ascribing meaning “hallucinating” seems a disservice right?

Your comment just brought me a lot of wonder and awe, because you’re right, our brains’ wiring to tell stories and weave concepts and interpret the world around us in a way that’s useful, and beautiful, is a wonderful part of being alive and setting us apart from mere machines, rather than simply a feed of raw unfiltered data input from the world around us “as it is.”

Truly marvelous. :D

Oh, they just…saw more beauty and wonder in things most folks consider ordinary? That doesn’t sound so bad, actually. XD

I don’t remember more, sorry ^^

Haha all good. Thanks for replying. :)

Admittedly I haven’t done a lot of deep diving on it, but what kinds of personality changes did you observe? I haven’t heard a lot of testimony like this around psychedelics. Mostly just people praising them.

Pew pew!!!

OMG if you like that you’ll probably also love Burn My Windows (https://github.com/Schneegans/Burn-My-Windows)

Those effects are ported to Plasma too! You can get 'em through the KDE Store / get new stuff system. :D

I really wish “The people I represent are against this.” Would be a good enough deterrent to these monstrosities being foisted on already-besieged communities across the country.

This attack was a symptom of an underlying issue, because there’s no trust in representatives anymore, after so many take a bundle of cash from the techbros and say “IDGAF YOLO LMFAO” to their constituents.

I’m venturing a huge leap of a guess here, but my first thoughts were either:

• Leaping from the deck of a huge ship into the ocean imperfectly is kinda like hitting concrete. Water is not “soft” when you’re jumping from a ship deck several stories up and don’t “pencil dive” just right.

• Being on the deck of a ship suffering a catastrophic explosion below, strong enough to rupture the upper decks and “send the helipad flying meters high”, would force the surface many sailors were standing on upwards, far too quickly and unexpectedly for their legs to brace.

(Sad forgotten Endeavour OS noises.)

I hear a lot of love for Fedora.

Even though I happily run OpenSUSE Tumbleweed myself, I have run into the occasional “What the ever-loving heck” issue that I’ve had to stubbornly troubleshoot, and I worry that’d make some people run away crying.

I have a family member with a really old laptop enjoying Mint, but my wife’s and my best buddy’s gaming PCs might be worth giving Fedora a shot on.

Like me, they need those updated Nvidia drivers and Wayland, and honestly most importantly for familiarity + cool-new-thing factor: KDE plasma 6! ;)

Yo, homie, 👋

I wasn’t trying to “um akshully” you, I was legit just trying to contribute to the conversation for others who were interested.

Thanks for the link and sincerely wishing you the chillest day, though. <3

I think that particular symptom is a trait of the infamous “destroying angel” specifically.

Absolute nightmare fuel. 💀

It was Oblivion they re-released recently. :)

TIL you can run Longest Journey with SCUMMVM! That’s so cool. I remember the retail release on disc being quite fickle to run properly.

It took me a minute! I think “Community College.”

Oftentimes they have a much more open layout where anybody can just walk onto the campus. Pro tip though: They’re way cheaper for getting a ton of prerequisites out of the way. XD

@Tollana1234567@lemmy.today correct me if I’m wrong? Haha

Absolute madlad/lass lmao

So, ZRAM? :D

“The State’s jackboot is oppression…unless it is wearing my preferred socks!”

Are the newer ones better? My mom in law had one that literally could only go like 40 miles. Glorified golf cart. :(

It’d be really cool if they got into those few-hundred mile ranges!

Won’t someone think of the
