  • Mm, close. You know when a kid gets killed in a shooter game and accuse the enemy of hacking? My brain comes to that sort of conclusion about the fucking inanimate object when it doesn’t move how I want it to.

    Is it dumb as shit? Yeah. Did identifying this stupid behavior in myself help me change it? Hell yeah!


  • Nope! I have a superiority complex, which manifests largely in the way that I do things. I flip water bottles when I pick them up, or spin things around quickly and catch them for example.

    However, I’m human and humans are prone to mistakes. Learning to identify when I’m more prone to mistakes than normal and reducing those flashy behaviors has helped me a lot with my anger issues


  • Of course! Look into some breathing exercises and maybe poke around a bit into some CBT (cognitive behavioral therapy, not the other one lol… Well maybe the other one if you think it’ll help) theory. Just understanding why your body does stuff can make a huge difference in what it actually does.

    Since my therapist taught me about my cortisol levels a while back, it’s become a lot easier for me to identify things like “I’m anxious right now, so my cortisol levels are going up which is going to reduce how elegantly I can perform tasks. I should opt for less flashy movements to cause myself less frustration” and then my anxiety goes down regardless of how I actually change my behavior








  • GPU doesn’t work after being reconfigured

    On GNOME extensions crash

    “I made modifications to my system and broke it”

    Syncing files between devices is always a struggle

    Syncthing?

    Never know what will break when updating

    Read your updates before you do them?

    Bluetooth and scaling are not issues I’ve ever run in to, but I can’t say they’re not common.

    Basically, this whole post reads as “I messed with things that I didn’t properly understand and I’m blaming my computer for doing what I told it instead of what I wanted”





  • Windows only software

    I’m sure by now you know about the troves of compatibility layers that exist in order to make this possible; depending on the software.

    Get a minimize and maximize button

    This is more of a DE issue than Linux issue, I’m assuming you went with the default Gnome but you might like KDE or Cinnamon for a more windows like experience. I personally loved both of those DEs until I made the mistake of getting comfortable with a window manager




  • Are positive LGBT communities echo chambers?

    If you only ever interact with that one opinion, then yes

    No! I didn’t even care about what an echo chamber is! I just wanted to pass judgement on people who use this phrase without accepting any new considerations for what it actually means.

    I think you might be protecting your peace a lil too close to the sun
