This is exactly what I was looking for. The more I read it, the angrier I get. The fact that something as simple as a text document format can be force standardized, monopolized, and overcharged for is ludicrous. All because of a proprietary extension loophole.
Thank you for the info.
I flip flop. Sometimes I just space, sitting there and perfectly content with doing, well, nothing. When I tried SSRIs/SNRIs this got way worse. I'd lay in bed, not even getting up for the day, and stare at the ceiling. Perfectly happy with nothing. Not really depressed, not really anxious, just nothing. Escitalopram was the worst at doing this. I had to stop because between this, the anorgasmia, constant RLS all the way up to my arms, and sleeping 4 hours and feeling wide awake/manic- it was a nightmare. However, my niece made it through the two-week side effects and loves it, so it varies.
Not counting medicine, I do understand what you're going through to some extent. My dad had a seizure when I was a kid and I was right there for it. It was terrifying. I was scared. But my brain just kicked off and I went completely calm. I pretty much directed the whole situation without emotion as adults twice my age completely panicked. I was thirteen. On really bad days, I feel like there's nothing outside my window. That everyone else isn't real and that I'm the only existence, just sitting in a box. I go full panic mode. Other times I'm just way too hyper. I talk way too much and even though I don't do anything wrong, I feel like I was annoying and hate myself for days.
The only non-medicinal suggestion I can give you is to try getting some fidget toys. Little boxes with buttons and joysticks, stuff like that. Sometimes it can kick your brain back on simply by focusing on them. I have a clicker and a Jigglypuff stress squeezer, myself. I really hope you can find something that works for you and don't stop looking until you do find it.
Definitely bookmarking this reply. I haven't tried ComfyUI yet, but I've had it starred on Github from back when it was fairly new. I'm no stranger to building from source, but I have not dived into Docker yet, which is becoming more and more of a weakness by the day. Docker is sometimes required by some really cool projects and I'm missing out.
Oh strange. I'll have to check my account. There may be some verification steps I missed, because I know you have to do something to confirm that your edits are trustworthy.
Meant to reply earlier, sorry. I assume that it waits for several inputs to verify. I have completed some streets in my area and there's no changes as of yet. I think its more of a hobby thing. I like going around, getting out of the house and getting some fresh air while having a goal. Things like Pokemon Go just didn't do it for me. I can easily see my tiny town not having much in the way of public infrastructure data, tbh.
I do understand where you're coming from. If its just not your cup of tea, it does seem silly.
This is very good to know. I read that ROCm can be a pain to get up and running, but I read that months ago and this space is moving fast. I may switch over when I can if this is the case. My 3080 is feeling it's age already. Thank you!
What was the barrier between LibreOffice/OpenOffice and 365? I know there's something that just doesn't translate right, but I can't really remember what, tbh. If I was faced with the same problem, I think I'd just dual boot. Windows for work, Linux for play.
That solution is tantamount to smacking it with a club these days, but I haven't taken the time to familiarize myself with VMs yet. Honestly, its in my list of skills to learn along things like Docker. The future seems to be moving in that direction and I'm lagging behind.
The only reason I still go Nvidia is because I self host AI, which afaik takes advantage of CUDA and just runs overall better on Nvidia cards, or at the very least is easier to set up. Really, the top reason is that it's the devil I know right now.
If I didn't self host AI, I would 100% go AMD. Especially if you don't want to use proprietary drivers. That being said, my old gaming laptop runs NixOS with Nouveau and there have definitely been improvements since I first tried it years ago, but I don't do much gaming on it. It's more a TV media station these days (so I can avoid the stupid smart TV bloat agenda, where your TV gets gradually slower and fits less increasingly-bloating apps over time).
There comes a time where it goes from frustrating to fun if you keep at it. You'll snap into it and be like, "I know how to fix this!" or other times you'll be furiously searching the web for your answer. I don't think you'll regret Pop!_OS. I started there and have been distro-hopping ever since. A lot is set up right out of the box in Pop.
Just sit back and work on one issue at a time until it works. Check into and learn how to setup Timeshift (basically system restore), you may thank yourself later. Though, Debian is pretty damn hard to break without actively trying to break it.
Sometimes it's better to put something in your big book of sailor's secrets and not ask around too much.
Mum's the word.
Not too bad with Graphene OS. Graphene can run everything Google while keeping it completely containerized and away from the rest of your phone. It doesn't help with employer assigned tech, no, but at least you can keep any Google apps your employer might want you to have in a nice little isolated environment.
Why did I start reading this to the tune of YMCA?
