technologicalcaveman , 1 month ago to nostupidquestions in I struggle with depression and alexithymia. How do I write with emotion?

I deal with the same thing. I had written for several small publications, and one way I overcame my disconnect from emotion was just by stream of conscious describe things. The way I'm subconsciously describing it tends to reveal my feelings for it. Directly, i really feel nothing for it but under the layers I do have a sense of emotion for it.

Gentoo gaming and music production rig working through mostly tty with dwm as a graphical display. I typically stay on tty until I want to play a game, use modern web, or record a song. Otherwise tty with Links browser.

technologicalcaveman , 4 months ago to linux in New laptop time. Thinkpad recommendations?

I use a t480 for my carry laptop with Gentoo. It's been solid. Replaced both batteries pretty easily, replaced thermal paste, and it's good to go again. I paid about 160 got it. I had a t460 as well, but gave that to my gf. Either of those were good and not too expensive for a semi modern computer for general usage.

The idea of a a Ready or Not styled game with the comedy and tone of Deep Rock would be killer.

What's the best place to look for jobs these days? Going on indeed floods me with endless "insurance sales" positions. I tried Dice, but almost every job is wildly out of range for experience to pay. I've devolved down to scrolling over an area on google maps and clicking businesses to check their websites.

I used Ubuntu, then Arch, and now Gentoo. Been about 2 years with most of my time on Arch. Gentoo is my favorite though. Just does what I want, how I want.

Most of my girlfriend's family is deaf. They read fairly slowly and end up usually not really following subtitles very easily. Sign language is fastest for them to understand.

technologicalcaveman , 5 months ago to android in Are you excited for the S24 announcement?

I looked at my requirements of being stable and secure, and calyx seemed to have the most focus on that plus having a good outward image. Graphene's main dev has had a troubled past with criticism.

technologicalcaveman , 5 months ago to android in Are you excited for the S24 announcement?

Calyx is amazing for me, I love it. BUT android auto doesn't work on it, which is lame. I've learned to deal with it and use waze instead.

technologicalcaveman , 5 months ago to android in Are you excited for the S24 announcement?

No, I got a pixel 7 and put calyx on it. Better than any samsung I've had. I don't plan on going back to a closed system ever again.

technologicalcaveman , 5 months ago to linux in Where, and when, did you start using Linux? Where are you now?

About 3 years. I wasn't good with computers because I mostly just didn't want to mess with them, due to Microsoft being who they are. I started with Ubuntu, went to Arch, Nixos, and now Gentoo is my standard. I got into it because my brother who's a security programmer recommended it to me. I use much, much more linux than my brother does now. I don't have any proprietary systems in my home now. All is FOSS.

technologicalcaveman , 5 months ago to linux in What's your current favorite distro that isn't Arch, Debian or Fedora?

I use the bin kernel. I don't change anything that is kernel level, so the default is fine. It cuts down on updates and install by a lot, but more important is that it's stable. I personally love gentoo, it's my favorite and I've tried basically everything.
