You could probably build something decent for CAD$1000. Canada computers often have massive discounts on a lot of items. US$700 to CAD$1000 is not that far apart. The console would probably still be more performant but the point is, the prices are not that far apart anymore.

I pass this thing almost every week. It's not that creepy in real life.

I'm looking for a meditation class that I can attend on a weekly (once or twice) basis. I found a lot of classes around that have a religious or philosophical flavor or ones that include yoga with meditation. I suffer from chronic pain and alexithymia and I feel like guided mindfulness meditation (Like the ones available through the Headspace app) to be very helpful. Anyone knows if there are any classes like that in the area?

The new inbox is a lot easier on the eyes. I'm loving it.

Would be even better if it can be registered as the default launcher too

I run it on my second phone, a OP6T. GNOME on mobile has improved a lot. The framerate is higher and the keyboard is more consistent. Auto rotate now works. I still wouldn't use it as my daily driver though since the camera still doesn't work, voice input with pipewire is very wonky and it still crashes every now and then. Random touch input bugs happen twice a day too, forcing me to reboot. It got so far but it still has a bit left to go.

A much needed feature gets released quicker than usual for the benefit of users and they complain about broken faith? They could have just delayed the release until they tested it thoroughly. Using that kind of wording makes me feel they're just in for the drama.

This reminds me of someone else who didnt get to pursue a career in arts and instead tried to destroy the world.

Some form of stable, modernized bluetooth stack would be nice. Every other bluetooth update breaks at least one of my devices.

I practice a mental exercise to see if I am implicitly being biased. I usually substitute the blamed party for someone else who already has a good or bad reputation to see if I would treat them the same way, if not then I am being biased and I correct my behavior. Applying that here, if we substitute Israel for North Korea or Syria for instance. Would the international community believe them if they bombed such an important NGO and then said "woopsie!"? The frequency in which neutral parties are being bombed is astonishing and if Iraq or Syria have done that, half the world would be considering imposing strong sanctions or even invading. The fact that we let someone off the hook so easily because we have an initial positive attitude towards them is bias and I would expect better from today's educated world. In my opinion, Trudeau's response should have been harsher.

I heard this for years while the show was running. I refused to watch the show as well. I decided to start watching it recently.

It turns out that what people were referring to when they likened me to Sheldon was my autistic traits. Sheldon incorporates a lot of specific autistic traits in his character and I am autistic. The funny thing is, one of the people that was constantly comparing me to Sheldon was a good friend of mine who was also autistic but I guess she is somewhere else on the spectrum which is why it was easier for her to associate me with Sheldon than herself.

I guess my point is to tell you that sometimes people make uneducated guesses and comparisons that may end up seeming funny when you realize why they made them. Watch the show. Laugh at them for comparing you to an exaggerated TV persona because you were different from what they expect the average person to be.
