I've been using wayblue on my own desktop. They have sane defaults & very pleasant theme. They do a good job keeping their image up to date & enable auto-updating from the get-go.

Usually, I just smoke cannabis until my body goes "TIMBEEEEERRR!" ;-P

Seriously, though, routine plays a big role. I tend to lay down/wake-up at around the same time every day. About an hour before I go to bed, I put on a comfort TV show & brush my teeth. At this point, notifications are being silenced on my phone until the next morning, so less incentives to pick it up. While I'm watching the show, I intermittently close my eyes for a few minutes as a signal to my brain about the direction we're heading, helps keep the peanut gallery in my head from getting chatty right as I'm laying down.

White noise while I sleep is required, I need something constant that covers-up the incidental noises. Otherwise, I pop awake when someone runs the faucet or what-have-you.

That's what I've figured out works for me, YMMV.

Yeah, given the choice, I'd rather avoid the phone all together. Unless it's close friends/family, I have to script what I'm going to say to get through it. I don't have the same reaction to video calls, interesting enough...

If I'm still alive in 21 years & still have all my faculties to properly enjoy a full eclipse, I'll count my lucky stars. lol

I totally get why this is being put forth. Watch Brodie's videos on the Wayland portals (after binging on LUS, of course ;-) ), and notice which DE is more actively helpful in making the portals better...I guarantee you it doesn't start with a "G." They actually mention this in the change proposal, and I doubt that Red Hat is blind to this difference.

It'll be interesting to see how this plays-out.

Yeah, I very much prefer the Gentoo wiki. The way it's designed & topics are explained, it just meshes with the way my brain works better.

I really like emerge/portage, even w/out the "candy" feature enabled. Great color highlighting, and verbose messages about any config change(s) needed.

A bit obscure, but Jeremy Goodwin on Sports Night (which should've been on for more than two seasons). His mannerisms, difficulty picking-up on non-verbal cues, deep interest on nerdy topics, and lack of confidence in navigating career progression...it's (almost) creepy how closely we mirror each other.

I've only been once, and could only handle one section. Definitely want to go again, felt like a "Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds" experience where I'm in charge of when it wears off. lol

"Stable" doesn't necessarily refer to "reliable," depending on the context. Stable is often used in reference to how often a distro releases new versions of the applications. Using Audacity as an example, in the current release of the distro, they'll release security & bug fixes for version 2, but if you want version 3, you'll have to wait until the next distro release.

Upgrades to a new version of an application can introduce new ways of using the app (i.e. icons in different places, how user-created files are written to disk, etc.), which is disruptive to enterprise op's, which is why Debian & RHEL take this approach.

Hopefully that helps clarify things.

Having not read the article (I know, breaking Rule #__ of The Internet ;-P)...

It doesn't surprise me that some autists are drawn to doing stand-up. Having seen the documentary "Misery Loves Comedy," comedians often use stand-up as a way of processing chronic mental health issues or other forms of divergence.

I could never do it myself, I have to stim like crazy just to (barely) make it through a phone/video call, without the pressure of actually being funny...not to mention that anytime I say something that I think is funny, I'm often the only person that actually laughs. lol

Four times? Pfffft...amateur 😜 /s (says the Gentoo user lol)
