We don’t think in “bits” at all because our brain functions nothing like a computer. This entire premise is stupid.

More users.

But seriously, more ports of and/or viable alternatives to professional applications. It’s the top reason people stick with Windows—even when they don’t like it.

I’ve found that it destroys my hyperfocus periods, which is the only time I’m actually able to be productive, so I stopped doing it.

I don’t know how people get anything done with constant interruptions. My brain does that enough already.

I thought there was an episode where they found out Warp Travel was doing damage to space in some areas, so they instituted a speed limit (unless it’s an emergency) to mitigate the impact.

Idk it hurts my skeleton just thinking about it.

I’ve heard that this is instinctual. We have evolved to find crying and upset children intolerable because it motivates us to do something about it.

Children are also exceptional and figuring out how to push our buttons because they instinctively find and repeat behaviors that get a reaction out of their caregivers when they desire attention.

Unfortunately the most motivating emotions are often negative ones.

I have so many. Here are some top ones:

  • Grinding metal utensils on plates/teeth
  • Stepping on something wet
  • Motorcycles / purposefully loud exhaust mods
  • Most mouth sounds in general

That sounds really hard, sorry you had to go through that.

Do we count the red and little blue ones too? Because that’s a lot.

I suggest therapy instead of asking random people on social media. This sounds way too important to leave to Lemmy comments.

You can use party voice chat on your phone (Xbox app) while playing the game on your Linux PC.

Most distros can even connect to your phone via Bluetooth and you can mix the audio+microphone into your PC headset.

I’ve done this before in KDE Plasma and it worked seamlessly.
