Work isn't the only value to society - they can be a part of their community, do art, or anything else. Everyone wants to engage with the world to some extent, and thay is the value they add.

The question in my mind is how long can a universal income be put off as more gets automated? How many will fall through the cracks before something is done?

CachyOS

I'm moving at the moment. Linux Mint is a good stable Windows alternative, but I wanted to separate gaming from other things so I am dual booting. I have had luck with Pop_OS! before but recently had issues with a laptop WiFi adapter, had some issues getting Bazzite working, so ended up with CachyOS, which has been really slick and easy so far.

A nice thing with Linux is how easy it is to cycle through a few distros if you have your main files on a different drive or partition, since you don't lose anything important when switching that way.

I have two and they have had endless connection issues. Also, the DAC in splitters is terrible, so this requires a USB-C splitter followed by an external DAC. It's pretty unwieldy.

Also, on my previous phone without a jack the USB-C port started having charging issues after a couple of years due to wear. I'd be less annoyed about it if they had multiple USB-C ports, but a single port device is a bad idea in general.

Literally daily

I'll note that I use LibreELEC as that handles HDR (I couldn't get other Kodi installs working with HDR)

There are a few things about Kodi that might help:

1. There are themes thay completely change the UI, so it doesn't have to be outdated. I use Arctic: Zephyr – Reloaded and it is much better, though I did change the noises to something else.
2. The Jellyfin plugin works pretty seamlessly if you set up the UI correctly. I only use Kodi for Jellyfin and it acts as if it's all local files, other than the occasional syncing notice.

However, I feel you on Netflix, YouTube, etc. - it is not ideal. I ended up either logging into a separate partition or moving to a Chromecast for those things. I'd love an all-in-one solution but I haven't managed to find one that I'd be happy with.

That sounds like a conspiracy theory. Insects are a more eco friendly source of protein than cattle, and cattle might become more expensive due to the effects global warming and the potential taxes that could be placed on emissions, but there are plenty of other protein sources and there isn't some big plan.

Yep, there was a sense of people coming together in the first few weeks but it didn't last long...

LibRedirect Firefox addon is good to automatically redirect various websites, the main one I use it fkr being reddit. Redlib etc servers aren't reliable, but it'll ping the different ones and find which is working well.

Great for turning off a device or several devices without having to unplug (e.g. if the sockets are behind a bookcase, this is much more convenient). Not a super common need but when it saves moving furniture it helps. Given that UK switches are tougher to plug in and unplug than most (due to safety features), I prefer using a switch. Also, the switches are cheap and give more options, so may as well!

I rely on one for a light where the switch broke and wasn't easily replaceable, so being able to fall back on the mains switch meant I can keep using the light.

At least with Good Omens you can focus on Terry. This is grim.

Mull is fine if you use the divestos repo directly, but the f-droid version is behind

Masturbation won't do that, you should probably go to a doctor. Also, give a toy a go if it sounds fun!

iFixit released a video guide that might help https://youtu.be/pCVBnpyrn3g

If you or someone you know is handy with a soldering iron, there are replacement hall-effect sensor sticks available now. I am planning on swapping mine out with Gulikit ones because I am very stubborn about giving in to planned obsolescence (I 100% believe this is deliberate on Sony's part).

Ah, thanks for the answer, I'd missed this on the GH page. Unfortunately, that's not what I'm after as I know I will end up with a complete mess of unusable notes or not use it at all if there are any stages of choosing a note type.

Ideally, I want version controlled, editable, searchable, taggable paper I don't have to file away, which I can also type on and use other digital tools with (e.g for things like diagrams, spreadsheets). I haven't seen anything particularly close to what I'm after yet but I'm hopeful that it'll come eventually.

Is handwriting & drawing support planned?

The stars and planets, yes, but there is a lot of very diffuse gas that does collide

My personal idea/hope is that there is some other dimension of spacetime over which the big bang had directionality, emitting matter and antimatter across different poles, and that's why. That'd also mean there's an anti-universe, which is why I like the idea.

In terms of the galaxies, I believe there's enough of an observable difference that I think we would be able to detect antimatter clusters, or similar, based on emission lines but I'm not 100% on that. Huge annihilation events from colliding galaxies and clusters would have massive energy signatures unlike anything else but the frequency of this would determine how likely it would be to see the evidence.
