More understood & less-understated. People can feel & voice their fears, with less fear, as many other's just relate. Whether a 'sign of the times' or whatever else, it's just nice to have more acceptance toward mental health.
I support people free-ing & finding who THEY are and THEIR path. <3
For some, that's the only option. Whether being med-resistant or simply, that just works for them. I don't deny people their treatments and/or paths through life as I hope people accept mine, y'know?
Rad to see folks supporting other's through & how accepted anxiety is compared to my youth.
Absolutely - I see what you mean, completely.
I'm someone, unfortunately, who is clinically ill & GREATLY benefits from meds to deny taking a proper dose of whatever I may need, prescribed, of course.
Taking things on, head-on & learning skills to cope is 100% valid, as well.
Supporting indie devs & artists is hella rad, as is supporting the creators you already enjoy.
There's just a lot of lesser-known, yet, just as cool projects going around that really should have eyes on them, if possible.
I love individuality, what can I say!
Super rad! When I was a teen, I would watch your guides & that is how I absolutely setup my best streams, with OBS.
I appreciate your dedication to your craft & work ethic. You're cool. <3
Getting treatment & learning proper coping skills has CHANGED me. I used to feel so entrapped in my mind - right now, for the first time, really, I feel like I'm where I belong & am content just existing.
Wild. I'm happy. :)
Hell yea! I was kinda worried some might take my post as self-deprecating, but I really do just mean like... it's okay to feel weak, but you're still fighting & pulling through - that definitely counts for something.
I've had anxiety HEAVY all my life. Tonight is one of the most free-ing I've had.
Anxiety is a bitch but I'm the bigger, stronger bitch. 💪
I really want to get Samba working on Arch Linux, so I'm trying it, once again.
Call me crazy, I definitely do distro-hop a TON - however, it's just what I do lol not much I can say.
Maybe one day, I'll settle more; for now, I'm just enjoying my hobby.
No shame in that, I'd say.
Aside from general Microsoft & Windows jank, which I could complain about all-day, I simply HATE Windows File Explorer with a burning passion.
It is... not very intuitive, it's slow as molasses & overall is clunky.
I know many cannot use Linux & that is fine, but I can and greatly prefer it.
Starting an Anxiety medication today. Refrained from posting, as I wanted to see how it went - so far, it's working incredibly well.
Large part of why I don't post, sometimes, is mostly anxiety related. I'm quite a nervous person & this is helping calm me down / break me outta my shell(s). <3
Nini, rest well!
Couldn't agree more! I hate generalizing things and/or people, like, at all, but some say Linux has a reputation of people being picky, feisty & judgmental towards others choices.
I avoid that & try to encourage people find what works for them! The detail that made me love Linux: all the choices!
100% valid, and something I've thought of as well. I'm hoping this isn't real, as I'd rather people be comfortable than be the asshole yelling "NOW EVERYONE *MUST* USE LINUX, MUAHAHA"
Look, I get being hyped about your passions & wanting it to garner interest, but being snarky ain't the way!
No shot, aha! You called it! Insanity, that they're doing this, but maybe not insanity for Microsoft...
Hell yea! It's a ton of fun seeing new users find themselves, what works & whatnot. Even if people end up finding something else, I don't really mind. It's lead to a lot of great interactions & I've made some great friends, along the way!
Linux is a hobby & passion of mine that I enjoy sharing.
Hope you enjoy your Pixel 10! I'm using the Pixel 9 Pro XL, personally & still quite love it. The Pixel 10 seems to be an 'enhanced' Pixel 9 in many ways, so I'm hype for you!
Also, I'm the same, aha. I had brief experience with Samsung, with an S20+(?), but I prefer Pixel's by quite a bit.
I've been trying to be helpful / active around Bluesky, specifically, to Linux newcomers. There's a lot of fuss from various people & different avenues to explore - so I try to be encouraging & help people find what works for them.
I quite enjoy doing it, honestly! 20 years, btw? That's rad!
If you're looking for something similar to Foobar2000 on Linux - I can easily vouch for Fooyin.
Not 100% sure about plugin support, but it definitely resembles Foobar w/ a few different layouts.
It's solid & I can recommend giving it a look, at least!
fooyin.org
Again, I don't really use and/or care for Ai, so not much there, for me - but At a Glance now toggle-able? Right on! That's a solid change.
Took long enough, though, haha!
Just received the March update for my Google Pixel 9 Pro XL and... it's alright, I suppose.
Some niceties, in there, but overall a lot of it is Ai crap I don't really need and/or want.
Journal now has Ai on the 9-series, as well, 'At a Glance' is now FINALLY able to be turned off!
I've always stayed impartial & pretty non-harsh when it came to my stances toward or surrounding Microsoft.
I still do not care who runs what - I do, however, think this company is trash & absolutely abhorrent.
This change, alone, convinces me of such.
A bit harsher for how I normally decide to post, in terms of verbiage, but honest.
Don't be a jerk just because you know better than someone else. It's sadly such a common thing online.
Treat people how you wanna be treated - within reason, of course.
I'd much rather work with someone with a kind-heart & have them be a dumbass than work with someone who's a genius but a total asshat, while at it.
Kindness goes a long way. Be kind.
Yea, I've since read about the lack of Linux support. Crazy, even though I use Secure Boot & TPM2.0 - I couldn't play this? That's WILD decision making, but obviously/sadly, not too uncommon.
I've avoided The Game Awards ever since the 2nd one, tbh. I just find stuff that catches my eye by chance!
I installed it via the CUDA repo, for newer versions that are still Debian 'compatible'. Suffice to say, because of things like this - I absolutely understand going with Bazzite - ESPECIALLY for GPU driver related reasons.
Hope you've fun! From what I've heard, Bazzite is incredibly nice.
That's absolutely fair, aha. I've been running Linux for 6 years, as of January, so I'm able to maneuver around most distros, at least, what I know well enough.
Debian, even though I love it - I cannot use the provided NVIDIA drivers, since they're too old & lag with KDE, for me.
Hope you enjoy! Definitely can be challenging, at points, but there are plenty of distros & desktops to pick from - if Linux winds up interesting to you.
What distro are you thinkin' of, at the moment? I'm currently running Debian 13 w/ KDE Plasma as the desktop & absolutely love it!
Hearing about stuff from friends and/or browsing around myself - finding things that interest ME instead of seeing what's trendy, new & just announced at The Game Awards.
I just... it's all a tad much, to me? I prefer my gaming diet, I suppose.
I'm not gonna lie - this is my first time ever hearing of Highguard, which, I think I prefer.
My gaming habits are often single-player & indie, with the occasional online multiplayer game from time-to-time.
I just... don't care to keep up with 'modern' gaming. I like what I like & play that stuff.
