@RL_Dane Good night Really Licked Dane

I got less than 3 hours of sleep, and today marks the first day I drank non-decaf #coffee in college.

I feel awake and not awake at the same time.

@indie1337@vivaldi.net Ah, you should have had an option for just drinking it cold :)

@RevEricBurrowsStone Oh! Ok. Gotcha.

@RevEricBurrowsStone Hello, white western Christian here. Homosexuality is wrong, as the Bible clearly states.
The white western Christians whom I know believe that homosexuality is wrong, too (or the large majority of them). While stereotypes can be fine and useful, rash ones are not. Please :/

@array #Gnome having the coveted "just works" property and staying out of the way - these things are what make me keep on coming back to it. Indeed.

@array Huh, interesting. Thanks!
Do you know if gnome-shell is modular, or is it only modified via extensions?

@indie1337@vivaldi.net uPdAtEs

When it comes to customizing my system & DE, GNOME has always been a big hang-up.

@array GNOME, modular? From using it, I got the impression that it was more modular than it appeared, but I could never quite understand it the way I could KDE.
I'm really curious, how did you mix and match stuff with Gnome, and is there any decent documentation for its architecture?

"Cool" is "normal" executed so well that it's special.

@kyle Wow.

And, I believe that all these other "humans" are also conscious, according to the evidence (such as them looking and behaving, all things considered, very similar to me). So, evidently, they have something beyond physics, too.
As for ChatGPT, the evidence I have is that it exists just in physics like normal (being ANN based and all). So I do not believe it is conscious.

A post I recently saw about #ChatGPT prompted me to go through some logic about #life:

I know as a fact that I'm conscious. I don't know how it works, but however it works, I'm conscious and consciousness is something fundamentally beyond math.
If physics is, basically, math being executed over time, then you cannot have consciousness existing (solely) in physics. And so I believe that I must have something beyond physics that serves as my "consciousness".

@ruario @indie1337@vivaldi.net @Vivaldi OK, cool.

@indie1337@vivaldi.net @Vivaldi Ooh, that's slick. Is that a Mastodon feature or did Vivaldi really up and make that?
