I think when we capture nature in a hyper-realistic way, the takeaway is control. We get to choose exactly what is included and what is not. It’s also about admiring the process that goes into it. We’re able to comprehend the work that went into making that possible. It also means that you get to stop time in the piece. You’re seeing that very specific part of reality that artist wanted you to see.

I think all experience of art, enjoyable for us or not, is something the brain adheres to because it is unlike nature. Nature tries to all blend together in a very loose way. We categorize many things like animals, land, the stars… but it all is really just one thing. Art is the ability to purposefully change that continuity with intent. To see something sitting there, doing nothing, and you feel the desire to arrange it in some way.

Music is no different. We realized sound was one of our senses and most of nature’s songs are chaotic, outside the rare particularly talented bird.

We’ve found ways to harness sound into whatever we found is most pleasing. And it seems what it pleasing is different from one person to the next, but also shares ground through the instruments we use.

I imagine when we first started rhythmically hitting sticks on rocks, it wasn’t long before we had an arrangement of our favorite sticks and rocks to hit together. And we just kept getting more creative from there.

I work in a design industry that requires a lot of source files so I end up having to constantly switch. Lists when I’m looking for the relevant folder, or looking for a particular file based on name, or icons if I’m looking for something based on image. There’s no consistent way to switch between them with a keyboard shortcut among different OSs, either.

G-Dang it! I normally have no filter for profanity, so people always laugh when I use it. I stole it from the Neature Walk series on YouTube.

That’s just it. Someone might not realize that all that info was passed to the server when it failed if they weren’t thinking about it. They’d just correct their mistake and move on with their day, especially if they’re new to server administration as I’m sure many (not necessarily most) Lemmy admins would be.

This was me with the word ‘cusotmer’. Just had to force myself to relearn it.

There might be a Linux userbase someday where no one other than developers actually knows how to use the terminal, because users can run everything they want without a command line

Ideally, all the essential terminal commands could be replicated in a user-friendly GUI-applicable manner. Don’t ever have to remove the terminal for those that enjoy it, but if we could have a magic world where even the failure states could be navigated with little to no prior knowledge required and it gets everyone away from Windows and Mac for good, I’m all for it.

My case is all black, but almost everything these days ships with RGB if it’s a modern gaming part. I set them to the lowest brightness at a dark purple so it barely shows. Anything more than that is too distracting for me.

I hear a dead rat is actually pretty good at this game. Way better than I was.

But this time it’s different because everyone has every chance to have full access to the information leading up and still chose pain. So there’s that.

Probably watch a bunch of tv shows and fall asleep, if it lands on a weekend.

You can, but you turn back time to before you were Superman, but still moving that speed, so you just atomize.

Can’t forget Talking Tina all the way back in the Twilight Zone days.

It is the first movie I recommend to virtually everyone when I get talking about movies. It’s a damn shame the BluRay was only in print for a short while copies go for $150+ these days if you can even find one for sale. Probably pretty easy to get on DVD though.

You’re hitting a lot of the ideas brought up in this scene from my favorite movie. It’s all so up in the air as far as what the ‘soul’ or ‘intelligence’ really is.

KDE still has most of these features!

Ran Ubuntu 8 with Compiz and integrated graphics on a Pentium 4 with 512MB RAM. It was an awful machine, but Linux made it great to use. I still miss the peak of GTK2 + Emerald.

That cat was attempting murder. Maybe he should at least be on the lookout around that cat.

I also started using this recently and it’s very plug and play. Just open and run. It’s the only client so far that feels like I could recommend to non-geeks.
