I don’t know why I just read “UNIX” in a french accent.

I do wonder why people buy smart TVs instead of getting regular displays together with a Linux PC.

yeah i know i was joking

maybe it wasn’t a good joke ^^

Open means “uben” in german so

Free Libre Open Source Software is FLUSS in german and that roughly translates to “fucking” and I think that’s beautiful.

IMO Debian is already pretty far middle-ground. The packages are new enough for my personal usage.

yeah and don’t forget the placebo effect

“today’s gonna be a good day for you”

You might also be interested in the Panopticon.

In humans, there’s good things and there’s bad things. But most of it is actually in-between.

If you take out everything bad, that satisfies you for the moment. And then you go on, looking for further progress. You take out the almost-bad, the somewhat-bad. In the end, it leaves only the good. But that is not enough for a human to live on.

Constant surveillance leads to burnout and extremely high stress-levels.

you’re right to have these feelings. humans together strong.

the fuck? it’s a nice picture, just let it be. it’s IMHO a better image than many hand-drawn ones.

I’ve been experiencing pretty annoying levels of nausea recently – […] I’m wondering if it’s at all related to the drug cocktail I’m on.

Yes, very likely. Nausea is often a symptom of you-body-goes-through-some-change-that-your-brain-can’t-keep-up-with-and-that-leads-to-nausea. I guess it will pass once your transition is complete and your mind has adopted to the new body configuration.

You can look at it like hardware/software. The hardware changes, but the software is still the same. So the software doesn’t keep up with the hardware, and that leads to minor bugs and inconveniences. Sensory data gets reported in a skewed way, and all that leads to nausea, which is a generic way of your brain telling you “i don’t know wtf is going on”.

It’s less cold than it looks, i’ve tried that.

Snow is an excellent thermal insulator, and the air in that chamber can be quite warm, like 15°C, without really melting the snow.
