Using it for 4 years, both at home and at work (also have Raspberry Pi 4 under Arch Linux ARM).
I'm a bit perplexed why it is considered less stable than "your typical Linux distro". Never used Debian, but I used Ubuntu with KDE prior to Arch. It was very common to have problems, from constant messages about crashing staff (AppArmor hitting the record) to reinstalling the entire OS. During 4 years with Arch I had only a few tiny issues that required 5-10 minutes to fix (not least thanks to Arch Wiki).
Not sure though if this is because Arch is so nice by itself, or because with Arch I moved to more minimalist setups (which Arch endorses so naturally).
Haven't watched much of anime, and haven't watched any for more than a decade. But back then I had huge impression from Azumanga Daioh. Nothing special in plot, just a year in the life of a few schoolgirls. But such lively and unique personages, I remember I had lump in the throat when I watched the last episode, as if I was saying farewell to close friends that I will not ever see again.
Lions, sharks and birds, even if they have consciousness, do not have intelligence. They cannot choose whether to cause harm/pain/death to anyone or not. Humans do have that capability, and to get food could have figured out something better than imprisoning other animals in boxes all their lives.
Perhaps. Homo sapiens ancient history is about 300,000 years though, so if we are just getting to this concept in the last 200 years, you might be a little over optimistic about the chances of your argument is going to have to override instincts developed through millions of years of evolution in the near future.
(also lions and sharks - ^^ this guy just called you dumb)
In my country we're not allowed to roam the countryside with a rifle or a bow and arrow to hunt our own, and if we were I wouldn't enjoy it. So yeah if I want to eat meat I guess it is.
I applaud your conviction, but I've grown up eating meat, and I'm not in a minority.
There is no arguing here against eating stuff that has meat-like properties (nutritional content and perhaps even taste). The issue is whether we have to torture billions of mammals and birds for that. I don't think it matters for your instinct if the stuff you eat comes from a killed animal or not, as long as it tastes and supplies the same.
From Kazakhstan here. Didn't use cash literally for a couple of years. AT ALL. Almost everything can be paid via mobile app (though basically only one bank - Kaspi bank). Products (including dill at bazaar), taxi, even public toilet - everything can be paid via transfer from one Kaspi client to another.
UPD: But cash is still accepted in most cases. Have no idea why some people still use it.
For about a year already, I use ASMR audio/visuals when I go to bed (strange, not even mentioned in the referenced post). I found they help me falling asleep (though, probably, not staying asleep). Also, not just any ASMR stuff does the job, there is a lot of ASMR junk out there. Plus, ASMR triggers differ in efficiency from one person to another, so I preliminarily assess if a particular recording might be good for me. Most of all, I like educational ASMR about history/culture/languages/etc.
Absolutely. I forgot to mention - at around the same time I bought open earbuds (Samsung buds Live, to be concrete) which I found comfortable - they don't block external sound and I practically don't feel them in the ears.
Zotero is awful. It's heavyweight - in fact, a whole separate browser only to manage my bibligraphy (ever tried to use it with ~10k items?). Provides no CLI interface (to automate workflows with scripts). It's data model is weird - e.g., item types include such thing as "instant message", but more academia-relevant types (e.g., "dataset") are absent ("preprint" was incorporated only recently); ISSNs are treated as properties of articles rather than journals. And it boasts it has included its own PDF viewer, whereas I see it as down-side rather than improvement (more bloatware included - why not just follow the division of labor and delegate this functionality to external viewers... ahhh, yes, there is no annotating standard among PDF viewers...).
But all other alternatives for bibliography management I know of are even worse.
Yes, around 13k currently. Startup is slow, but I keep it open so that doesn't matter much. With Zotero 6, speed isn't great for general usage, but workable. Zotero 7 (beta) however feels very fast. I've switched to it already -- most plugins haven't been upgraded yet, but (at least currently) you can switch between v6 and 7 since there's no database updates involved.
I had written a script to manage my pdf literature using crossref and arxiv to fetch metadata and store them in pdf tags, and just renaming the pdf in place. No hidden complexity, no gui.
I hacked it into a python package a couple of months ago in an ADHD hyperfocus induced frenzy. Sounds like you might like it. Still a long way to go, but it's out there and FOSS. Contributions are welcome.
