For real so strange

Dude wtf. I had a dream last night where my phone was able to generate smells.

I forgot about it until I read this post. Wow. It’s actually crazy.

I get it that Google is being in appropriately intrusive here.

But honestly outside the privacy bubble most people won’t really care about it. In fact they’d be happy to have it automatically installed for them.

I get it that we don’t like it. But most of the population don’t seem to care.

Also is this like a separate app or is it baked into Google services?

Not op.

Basically apps like Photoshop, DaVinci Resolve.

DaVinci Resolve for some reason simply doesn’t want to work on my Linux instance. Plus it’s playback is way slower compared to windows. My pc has weak specs so it’s not really Linux’s fault. Plus it says my GPU isn’t supported in DaVinci on Linux while it does on Windows.

VST plug-ins for DAW.

Games like Valorant doesn’t run on Linux.

I like Linux. But devs don’t want to support Linux at the moment because of low market share.

Some apps need to be natively available on Linux. Wine isn’t sufficient for running windows apps a lot of times. Especially in a professional setting.

Hopefully Linux market share increases in the future. It’ll drive developers to write Linux native apps.

Would be sick to fully switch to Linux. Waiting for that day.

Oh nice that it’s still holding up. May I ask if that’s your primary daily driver?

Whoa that’s cool!

What device are you on?

Imagine using Ubuntu Touch with Waydroid for Android Compatibility. Would be sick.

They have sandboxed Google services if you need it. But kind of defeats the purpose of Grpahene OS.

I have been on Calyx for a year now. Bank apps in my country totally works with microg.

I have been using Aurora Store as my primary App Store for over a year now. Never had issues with using it with a VPN.

If you got crypto Bitrefill provides gift cards.

I use filters in boost app to exclude posts with words, websites that I don’t want to see.

Sure.

Actually there is no afterlife whatsoever.

I turned existential a few years ago contemplating existence.

Then I started asking questions like what is that reincarnates? Nothing. When I die the atoms will be used by the universe for something else. My memories will be gone.

And I realized it’s all just a game. It’s the part of the illusion. I know I know. It sounds made up.

But hey now that we are here do what you want to do. If you don’t feel like doing anything then that’s fine too. Have a simple and a minimal life.

I think a lot of our stress to be something comes from social conditioning.

The society keeps saying you have to be something. They give you a list of things and tell you to follow it in a particular order and say viola you are a respectable human being now. As if you weren’t a human being before haha.

So maybe stop focusing on being or becoming someone and focus on actions maybe? That’s fun.

But yes everything goes to nothing in the end. The reason we feel it shouldn’t end or why is it the way it is or it’s unfair is because of the thinking mind.

The mind likes to create ideas and concepts. We sir are living in one hell of a conceptual world. You and me are tied down by the concepts. We can’t accept the absurdity of the nature of this futile and impermanent life.

That’s how nature works. Then our mind comes up and creates psychological dramas on how sad it is. Hahaha.

It’s all part of the game. Play it. No one gets alive. There is no one to get out alive. Hahahaha.

The industry should resort to Resolve as a default. Tired of Adobe’s bullshit.

That or Local Send.

I really didn’t like the UI too at first. It felt odd since no app looks like that.

Now that I’m used to it’s functionality, I am totally blind to the colorful rings. I barely notice the colors.

Oh I just noticed I can turn it off.

But it still has a white ring on every folder which is ugly.

Have you tried phtn.app? It’s gorgeous.
