Infinity is not relative. What is it going to contain?

Have some breakthroughs!

Gotta drop the belief in psychedelics as a means to increased consciousness, too.

Yep, after a few days of casual consideration (i.e., tireless effort), I've come to the conclusion that I don't really know what language is

@Hello1 If we define awakening as becoming conscious of the nature of one's 'true' self and/or existence, then it is already accesible to anyone. It's a possibility that is not subject to intellectual prowess or any other relative consideration - because it isn't elsewhere. It is already the truth of your nature, right now, whatever that may be. The only requirement is grasping this nature in a direct fashion. It's likely that we often hold these concepts idealistically, believing they require a specific way of "being" or living. For example, Eckhart Tolle reportedly had an insight or breakthrough of some kind while going through a depressive phase of his life, if I recall. We might believe that states such as relaxation, happiness, or being in love help when it comes to becoming conscious, but they are simply experiences. You can have an enlightenment while distracted, bored, or apathetic. Metaphorically, we could say that the truth doesn't care what state you're in.

I see, thank you for letting me know.

I'd frame this as a technological discussion.

Didn't @Joshe mention Claude CLI for some interesting use cases? I think it was in one of the commonplace book threads.

@Hello1 We meant a former user who used to create multiple accounts here, and likely still does. We thought you might have been her. Sorry if that's not the case.

Right? I thought I was the only one.

Oh, it's a meme.

I was planning on installing Windows on a VM for spare use of more esoteric software. I think that, for now, setting up my system is more than enough. But thank you, I may actually do that at some point.

I just deleted my Linux Mint and Windows partitions and installed CachyOS. I'm enjoying it so far! I'm just afraid that my computer will blow up or something if it doesn't get updated every week. (because it's based on Arch). - What a bunch of nerds!

Do you dip the baguette in coffee? This is not a euphemism.

Human creativity at its finest.

For hackers? Probably not suitable for beginners.

Dune:

I can't believe it's not butter.

Merci, je vais peut-être essayer.

It recently won a bunch of awards, didn't it? I might give Kingdom Come II a go at some point, I've heard it's like Skyrim but butter.

Oh la la
