Seeing this after the Kat Abughazaleb post on the front page… lol.

Right! I never would’ve heard of it if not for a random comment on that other cursed site.

I’ve just been thinking of going back to Earthsea!

I will share and highly recommend this resource: Western Australia’s Centre for Clinical Interventions’s Self Help Resources. Of course, these are applicable to anyone, not just Australians. There are various pages for different types of conditions (anxiety, assertiveness, procrastinating, eating disorders, etc.), and most of them take you to self-directed workbooks you can fill out yourself. They’re not only informative, but they also guide you through your thinking about these issues and how to deal with them and grow from them.

Brave New World/Island by Huxley got the memo.

We have lost the ability to be present in the moment, unable to confront reality without media to filter it…

I like my skin unflayed, thanks. /s

Huh, would that work for remote proctors?

X1 Carbon is awesome specs and has that lightweight portability element.

Gives me hope, I’m glad the kids are still curious and willing to learn. I’ve seen too many early-20s people at work who have absolutely zero computer skills.

Especially for new immigrants, it’s often a way to claim social legitimacy/approval by tying yourself to the traditions of your adopted society. “See, I’m one of the good ones!”

Same, this is how I got frustrated by Hades. I no longer have endless time to sink into a game to get good.

Well, they did get them to switch to USB-C, so I’m not holding my breath, but I do hope that this will lead to more interoperability. I’m tired of Apple making Android/non-Apple users feel like second-class citizens.

It is the most ‘Windows-like’ of the mainstream desktop environments. I don’t usually snap into quadrants but you can, here’s an example of how that would look in KDE.

Yeah, Linux gaming may not be for you if you play a ton of anti-cheat games.
