Added the exa aliases. Nice to see pacman points exa to eza as the former is unmaintained.

Yes it’s quite similar to the scrobbling and recommendations of last.fm!

Listenbrainz has decent recommendations

Still, there might be psychological changes because of immortality. Survival instinct might grow even stronger the longer one lives, a bit like sunk-cost fallacy. Or if death becomes something exotic, of times long passed, it might no longer be regarded as a serious option, similar to how we’ve grown opposed to sacrificing virgins, or to using Myspace or Windows.

I had the same hope when I was younger. Later on I imagined the last star dying and the utter dread the immortals would have to face.

Also: obligatory Mitchell & Webb sketch

Fallout 4 survivor mode melee build. That game just won’t leave me alone!

One book I read predicted societal disruption for 2035, with a total collapse of nations around 2050. I found it overly dramatic at the time, but now, 15 years later, it seems we’re well ahead of that prediction.

“I think we are headed for major societal disruption within the next five years,” said Gretta Pecl, at the University of Tasmania. “[Authorities] will be overwhelmed by extreme event after extreme event, food production will be disrupted. I could not feel greater despair over the future.”

As a Belgian, I sure hope you’re right!

no indeed, I don’t think it’s that specific. I mainly browse the weekly exploration playlist, based on my listens, which either recommends other of my favorite songs that I hadn’t listened yet, or unknown songs that usually fit my styles. Enough for me to cut the subscriptions 🥳

Reminded me of KP’s man-moth

I second this, very nice indeed!

I also use their Picard software to check the downloaded album, then it updates the metadata automatically and places them in the appropriate folder structure.

It’s a very intersting viewpoint, pardon me for exploring further. So future you (or me) is also dead until the brief flash of life where yours and his consciousness finally overlap, before lapsing into nothingness again.

It’s very reasonable even, to think everything not experienced this very moment is totally alien to us.

Thanks for stretching my grey matter on this dull day!

By that rationale, wouldn’t other people then also be dead, as you cannot experience their consciousness?

The future might seem far off, but it starts right now.

Distro Chooser is giving you great advice. I love EndeavourOS. First started out on it with KDE, now I’m on sway, everything just works perfectly, so I can definitely recommend it!

Ironically enough How To Read by Mortimer J. Adler. I try to reread this book every few years to remind me what (else) I should be doing while reading.

Out of Mind by J. Bernlef really stuck with me. A story about a man suffering from Alzheimer’s, his life seamlessly flowing over into memories. At times he suddenly awakens from them, realizes his current state, and a terrible emptiness engulfs him.
