I dunno if I’d call this hallucination, although I get what you’re saying and I agree with you! But wouldn’t “interpretation” be a more apt description?

If someone is seeing a message out of this very text, rather than the strict “material reality” of each individual letter just being an arbitrary glyhph, or each pixel, or each little diode or electron forming those pixels…

…to call this miraculous level of ascribing meaning “hallucinating” seems a disservice right?

Your comment just brought me a lot of wonder and awe, because you’re right, our brains’ wiring to tell stories and weave concepts and interpret the world around us in a way that’s useful, and beautiful, is a wonderful part of being alive and setting us apart from mere machines, rather than simply a feed of raw unfiltered data input from the world around us “as it is.”

Truly marvelous. :D

Oh, they just…saw more beauty and wonder in things most folks consider ordinary? That doesn’t sound so bad, actually. XD

I don’t remember more, sorry ^^

Haha all good. Thanks for replying. :)

Admittedly I haven’t done a lot of deep diving on it, but what kinds of personality changes did you observe? I haven’t heard a lot of testimony like this around psychedelics. Mostly just people praising them.

Pew pew!!!

OMG if you like that you’ll probably also love Burn My Windows (https://github.com/Schneegans/Burn-My-Windows)

Those effects are ported to Plasma too! You can get 'em through the KDE Store / get new stuff system. :D

(Sad forgotten Endeavor OS noises.)

I hear a lot of love for Fedora.

Even though I happily run OpenSUSE Tumbleweed myself, I have run into the occasional “What the ever-loving heck” issue that I’ve had to stubbornly troubleshoot, and I worry that’d make some people run away crying.

I have a family member with a really old laptop enjoying Mint, but my wife’s and my best buddy’s gaming PCs might be worth giving Fedora a shot on.

Like me, they need those updated Nvidia drivers and Wayland, and honestly most importantly for familiarity + cool-new-thing factor: KDE plasma 6! ;)

Yo, homie, 👋

I wasn’t trying to “um akshully” you, I was legit just trying to contribute to the conversation for others who were interested.

Thanks for the link and sincerely wishing you the chillest day, though. <3

I think that particular symptom is a trait of the infamous “destroying angel” specifically.

Absolute nightmare fuel. 💀

It took me a minute! I think “Community College.”

Oftentimes they have a much more open layout where anybody can just walk onto the campus. Pro tip though: They’re way cheaper for getting a ton of prerequisites out of the way. XD

@Tollana1234567@lemmy.today correct me if I’m wrong? Haha

If a search engine can’t crawl it so you could search up posts, like a good ol’ forum, than yep!

Same with any member pages past a login. (Hence why nobody can just ‘google’ your bank account balance lol.)

DemenTIA, from CompTIA. Some of those exam questions really make you wonder. . .

Can’t believe people don’t link sources anymore. Anyway yeah it just happened today.

… Then you get to file system and the analysis paralysis REALLY sets in.

Here. Let me help: BTRFS with Timeshift or Snapper snapshots. Enjoy. ❤️

That sounds AWESOME. I was just thinking of those little replacement motion sensor switches you sometimes see in public buildings but this sounds way cooler.

…Also sounds perfect for my other wishlist project: To make a vent system like this for the litter box to siphon all that inevitable dust and stank. X_X A sensor relay like that sounds PERFECT.

Not to be a mega newb but, know where I might start to look for something like this? 😅

I love Debian, I love Void, Ubuntu can die in a fire, etc.

“You’re cool, you’re cool, screw you tho , you’re cool…” XD

Have I been on 10 years? I dunno, but I like to think I’m pretty experienced for an amateur.

OpenSUSE Tumbleweed! It rolls! It games! It works with newer hardware and gets along sorta reasonably with Nvidia!

Best part? If any of that ISN’T true (rarely after an update), it seamlessly integrates BTRFS snapshots with the boot menu, to just roll back and wait like a week til the wonderful souls working on it, fix stuff.

The community is also very supportive.

LOL. Meanwhile I’m scheming to replace the switch in their bathroom with a motion sensor, because my housemates will just routinely stink up the entire hallway and shuffle back to bed. Like the switch is RIGHT THERE?! C’MON‽

This has such a “Barbenheimer” composition lol.

All about that dubious lookin’ Kirby Shrek 😂
