  • So glad you liked it! I’m just a fan, but they’re seriously my favorite band recently, and if you cared to do so, I know they would appreciate kind words. They’re 100% indie and supported by the community, and they love it when people love the art they make! They also have a Discord, if that’s your jam.

    For what it’s worth, downvotes don’t show up on my instance, so people can downvote all they like, and I’ll never know the difference. Maybe they didn’t like that I cross-posted in multiple places so more people could see it. I dunno.

    Anyway, enjoy the EP!








  • Bazzite isn’t just modified Fedora, it’s based on Fedora Atomics, like Silverblue and Kinoite. If OP isn’t even sure about which distro to use, tossing them into the world of ostree might be a little much, since a lot of the online advice doesn’t take immutable systems into account. The Discord community they have is helpful, though, and there’s more than a few users here on Lemmy who use it, who I’m sure would be willing to help.

    Nobara is just modified Fedora, however, and it’s also nice.







  • I’m also neurodivergent. This is not neurodivergence on display, this is a person who has mentally diverged from reality. It’s word salad.

    I appreciate your perspective on recursion, though I think your philosophical generosity is misplaced. Just look at the following sentence he spoke:

    And if you’re recursive, the non-governmental system isolates you, mirrors you, and replaces you.

    This sentence explicitly states that some people can be recursive, and it implies that some people cannot be recursive. But people are not recursive at all. Their thinking might be, as you pointed out; intangible concepts might be recursive, but tangible things themselves are not recursive—they simply are what they are. It’s the same as saying an orange is recursive, or a melody is recursive. It’s nonsense.

    And what’s that last bit about being isolated, mirrored, and replaced? It’s anyone’s guess, and it sounds an awful lot like someone with paranoid delusions about secret organizations pulling unseen strings from the shadows.

    I think it’s good you have a generous spirit, but I think you’re just casting your pearls before swine, in this case.



  • I’m a developer, and this is 100% word salad.

    “It doesn’t suppress content,” he continues. “It suppresses recursion. If you don’t know what recursion means, you’re in the majority. I didn’t either until I started my walk. And if you’re recursive, the non-governmental system isolates you, mirrors you, and replaces you. …”

    This is actual nonsense. Recursion has to do with algorithms, and it’s when you call a function from within itself.

    def func_a(input=True):
      if input is True:
        func_a(True)
      else:
        return False
    

    My program above would recur infinitely, but hopefully you can get the gist.

    Anyway, it sounds like he’s talking about people, not algorithms. People can’t recur. We aren’t “recursive,” so whatever he thinks he means, it isn’t based in reality. That plus the nebulous talk of being replaced by some unseen entity reek of paranoid delusions.

    I’m not saying that is what he has, but it sure does have a similar appearance, and if he is in his right mind (doubt it), he doesn’t have any clue what he’s talking about.
