You rule!

I lost my kitty last year. Was very close to her as well. I don’t believe in ghosts but I think her ghost visited me in a dream shortly after she died. I’ll miss her forever.

Pretty amazing story eh? Imagine what his winters were like, for so many years! Peculiar guy.

This should be higher up

Debian has always worked pretty easily for me on ThinkPads. I guess it depends what you’re trying to run it on.

I’m sorry, that’s really hard. I lost my cat at a hard time last year when I was under a lot of stress and I cried quite a bit. Only thing I’ve cried about in years. He knows that you love him and that you’re there for him.

I hope this doesn’t come across as patronizing but have you tried vipassana or a similar style of meditation? My wife had really severe anxiety and she found this to be the thing that helped her the most.

Hi, I’m Whelmer, never maintained a reddit account but I was a chronic lurker and was pleased to discover this whole Lemmy thing recently. Always had a love/hate thing with reddit and this place reduces significantly the latter part of that equation.

I’m an organic orchardist by trade, novice gardener and beekeeper as well. Been into Linux and FOSS for the past decade or so. I also like to play and build synthesizers. Though these days I’m not finding a lot of time for my non-economic hobbies.

Thanks for creating and maintaining this community.

Does your Libby have the same shit as mine?

Recently listened to The Dawn of Everything by David Graeber and David Wengrow, Wendell Berry: Unsettling of America, Steve Coll: Directorate S, also Coll: Shadow Wars, Raven by Tim Reiterman, Under the Banner of Heaven by Jon Krakaeur,The Stranger in the Woods by Michael Finkel. We Carry Their Bones by Erin Kimmerle.

All non-fiction but all good. The two books by Coll are two of the best books I’ve ever read, if you’re at all interested in the Afghan war or the CIA. And David Graeber is definitely a favourite of mine as well.

Also, if you don’t know about it, Librivox is a cool source for audiobooks. It’s all volunteer-read from Project Guttenburg. The quality can be a little rough if you’re used to profressional audiobooks, but some of the readers are really good and there’s a lot of great stuff. A reader I really like on that platform is called Expatriate, loved his reading of Don Quioxote.

My mental effort produced the theory that they have an alternative subscription service in mind that is more investor-friendly but that clashes with the coin thing.
