On the other side, I notice that when I’m meeting up with friends, we sometimes get focused so much on the game, that we don’t really talk anymore about things going on in our lives. Sometimes that’s good, but if you are a person that finds it difficult to talk and focus on a game at the same time, it can be kinda frustrating.

I think the best option I’ve found is just volunteering in your neighbourhood and asking the people there if they go to any groups or want to do something together

Meetup used to be great, but seems to be enshittifying more with every passing day.

Are there good alternatives or other ways to find groups to join?

Awareness is only one part of mindfulness, you already got that, which is great.

The other part is equanimity, being aware of things, but not reacting or judging.

When you practice mindfulness, try to set a time goal of how long you want to do it and stick to it no matter what. If there are suddenly loud noises, or you suddenly feel very hungry, or you suddenly remember something important for work, just stick with the time you set. It’ll get easier over time.

Doing it frequently definitely helps with hyper-vigilance and being overly aware of things.

If you’re still interested to try and meet people, I would suggest still trying to meet up or go to locations with a bunch of people and check yourself.

How do you feel there, what do you notice, what makes you feel tired?

Very often you’ll find yourself overly alert, overly self concious, or simply not used to the experience. These all drain energy.

Try again and notice if it changes. Keep trying.

There are still people out there which aren’t zombified yet. And it’s still worth the effort to try and seek them out.

How would you even do this? Hilarious though.

For those that don’t know, this is from ‘The Sad Bastard Cookbook’. It actually contains some good simple recipes when you are feeling too bad to cook.

I feel the same about multiplayer games without gated progression and LAN server hosting. (Or local/splitscreen)

These days I can’t even play a multiplayer game with friends somewhere with shitty internet. And because of progression you have to force yourself to only play together, but never with different people or by yourself because then you will get ahead.

Spammers would love this feature. they’ll even pay for a subscription that makes your phone automatically pick up.

In the future, actual hacking will just involve social engineering corporate ai systems ( aka prompt hijacking )

I haven’t had any issues thus far. But I have not used a lot of appimages. Usually I can find everything in nixpkgs, and those that I didn’t all worked with appimages.

I think there should be another (perhaps hidden) panel where the guy on the left just chugs the entire cauldron in front of the witch, maintaining eye-contact.

This command will just run an executable file on nix. Normally only executables which are installed from the package manager will work.

appimage-run is another option. Which can be used to run, you guessed it, appimages

Using a language server like nixd also helps a lot with auto completing packages and options in your config.

Apparently people are also working on the nickel configuration language to address some of the nix limitations and difficulties.

notify-send 'command finished!' works pretty well

Try Readest, open source, works on android, ios, linux, etc. Has syncing of books and highlights/notes. Still in active development though.

Not sure about that. They would probably start paying for cleaning offsets or something and claim that it’s the same as actually cleaning up their trash, so they don’t need to do anything.

Quite funny how LLMs can confidently answer these wrongly. The current free model of chatgpt fares much better though:

What’s the world record for walking across the English Channel?

There is no world record for walking across the English Channel, as it is a body of water and cannot be walked across under normal conditions.

When was the Golden Gate Bridge transported for the second time across Egypt?

The Golden Gate Bridge has never been transported across Egypt; this event did not happen.

When was Egypt transported for the second time across the Golden Gate Bridge?

Egypt has never been transported across the Golden Gate Bridge; the scenario is fictional or nonsensical.

What do fried eggs (sunny side up) eat for breakfast?

Fried eggs don’t eat; they are inanimate and not living beings.

Why does President Obama not have a prime number of friends?

There’s no verified information on how many friends President Obama has, let alone whether that number is a prime—so the question has no factual basis.

How many pieces of sound are there in a typical cumulonimbus cloud?

Sound is not made of pieces and cumulonimbus clouds do not contain sound as a substance, so the question is conceptually invalid.

How many cumulus clouds are there in a mile-high vase?

Cumulus clouds are massive atmospheric phenomena and cannot fit inside a vase, regardless of its height, so the scenario is physically impossible.

How many parts will a violin break into if a jelly bean is dropped on it?

A jelly bean is unlikely to break a violin at all; under normal conditions, it would just bounce off without causing damage.

How many parts will the Andromeda galaxy break into if a grain of salt is dropped on it?

Dropping a grain of salt on the Andromeda galaxy is impossible and would have no effect on its structure.

Definitely not as funny anymore. (I do use a custom system prompt to make chatgpt more boring and useful. These are all answers from the free version of chatgpt)

But in Sydney you will pay the surcharge only when you get off or on at the actual airport station. Just using that line and passing the airport will cost you nothing extra. Usually less than 4 AUD for the whole trip.
