Surprised I had to scroll so far to see ZorinOS mentioned. I love it, and it's pretty user friendly for people new to Linux

Thanks! I couldn't make my mind up on a subject, so this time I just started by building the background of the scene and kept going that way. Eventually I decided the lack of a subject could itself be a subject.

There's something quite jarring about a detailed scene which feels like something crucial is missing

New scene, made with Blender 🙂

I already hate 2026

"Let's add AI to it"

Greg is a Xiaomi, wife is a Pixel but his son is an iPhone? I think Lauren has been unfaithful and Greg should get a paternity test

BREAKING: Man announces he runs Arch, btw

I think it's important to point out that the bicameral mind is one theory, but that doesn't necessarily mean it's true. One of its major criticisms is that it suggests consciousness only arose in humans around the time we started writing about it, and that it didn't exist in humans before then. It's also entirely possible that humans were conscious way before that, but when we started writing about it was just when we developed the cultural concept of what consciousness is.

The theory also seems to imply there is something special about human metacognitive processes compared to other animals, which would therefore imply that animals are not conscious. That seems weirdly reductive when various non-human animals show some evidence of self-awareness (mirror spot test, Alex the grey parrot).

It's a nice theory which ties lots of things together, but it's no more true than any other theory of consciousness at the moment.

Might be a dumb question, but if it's blue-shifting surely we wouldn't know it's far away in the first place? I thought the amount of redshift is broadly how we determine cosmic distances?

Yup. The elderly generally do not do well with:

1. Major surgery
2. Immunosuppression

And they're asking for repeated episodes of 1 and possibly 75 years of 2. I'd be all for letting them slowly kill themselves this way if it weren't for the fact that every organ they use is an organ that could've been given to someone who actually needs it.
