  1. "What do I think is true that I haven't personally experienced firsthand?" This could be another criterion for discerning what's a belief. An assumption would be an unconscious belief you operate from. It shows up in your experience as reality - for you. These are possible definitions - you can always ask what each of those is and find out the truth beyond any explanation.
  2. The back-and-forth is not the same as a personal consciousness into the nature of language, this is what I meant. No problem with disagreeing, of course. Thanks for the exchange.
  3. I didn't. It might have had something to do with a Chromium update or a browser setting, although I haven't tweaked anything.
  4. "Could it be said to be happening, or to have happened?" As a good starting point, I think that paying attention to the objective world helps - and also to the domain of objective feedback.
  5. Courtesy of GPT: --- "At a certain prior temporal juncture, I found myself, upon reflection, engaged in the deliberation of whether it might be conceivable to undertake a minor exercise in intellectual provocation, executed through the meticulous emulation of the stylistic and discursive peculiarities endemic to the critical philosophy of Immanuel Kant; yet, upon careful consideration of the faculties of my own practical reason and the attendant limitations inherent to my present inclination and capacity for sustained exertion, I was compelled to acknowledge that the undertaking in question would require an effort so considerable as to exceed, in every relevant respect, the bounds of what I could reasonably bring myself to accomplish." --- haha
  6. It gives you the tools to compile it yourself.
  7. Great to hear. I might give it a go at some point, probably in a couple of years.
  8. For sure. And it's obviously very handy for all kinds of tasks.
  9. I don't see how these would have to be mutually exclusive.
  10. Doesn't it seem like that's referring to what language does, while simultaneously taking for granted how it's being held? Hmm, might add more at some point. More contemplation needed.
  11. Nice, it looks pretty good and bulky.
  12. @LambdaDelta Yeah, but it depends on what you mean by useful software and what your needs are. Blender, Audacity, OBS, DaVinci Resolve, GIMP, Obsidian, Steam, Krita. I imagine more and more people would be fine with Linux and wouldn't even notice that that's what they're using. For basic needs, it's already quite solid. A lot of stuff can be done on a browser, too. Linux is like being the organizer of the event.
  13. Taking your phone with you everywhere out of habit, even on short walks.
  14. That is fine by me. Still, beyond the agreeing or disagreeing, the question remains: What is language?
  15. It depends. Which apps, and what distro? Expecting it to work like Windows will lead to dissapointment, in some aspects. I'd familiarize myself with this article and video: https://christitus.com/windows-to-linux/ Adobe, Office, and certain very niche software don't work on Linux. But there may be alternatives - perhaps not as polished, depending on your needs.
  16. Using Homebrew is as far as my knowledge of the terminal on macOS goes.
  17. That doesn't even happen on Windows But you're right, Windows is still the dominant platform for gaming.
