Fediverse! If you haven't tried a standing desk yet, I highly recommend it, been using one since January and my back problems have diminished significantly.
I have one similar to the attached picture, so technically sit-stand but used in standing mode 90%+ of the time.

The roots causes of depression.

"This is radical, but it is not, I discovered, a maverick position. In its official statement for World Health Day in 2017, the United Nations reviewed the best evidence and concluded that “the dominant biomedical narrative of depression” is based on “biased and selective use of research outcomes” that “must be abandoned”. We need to move from “focusing on ‘chemical imbalances’”, they said, to focusing more on “power imbalances."

It's so comfy having a heating pad behind your head and neck and a warm, slightly-noisy laptop on your chest. I've fallen asleep twice like this!

Also my bedroom being warm and moist thanks to closing the door and running a humidifier with a bit of essential oils of lavender and bergamot added in it. Also those oils sprinkled on my bedsheet and pillow cases.

The humidifier and laptop are just noisy enough to mostly block out my tinnitus without the loudness of a cheap fan from Walmart even at its lowest setting!

@arteteco @thinkMoult I'm still a newb to the world; I only recently installed over on my desktop, and I'm running on my laptop. I want to learn more and more for no other reason than it sounds pretty neat to be rolling with "1337"-tier operating systems. :blobcheer:

I almost chose instead of to replace (1 because I was bored of Mint and 2 broke on it and instead of trying to fix it I used KDE falling apart on me as an excuse to try something new) but I wanted to experience for myself.

I might try Debian if the AUR doesn't impress me since I've heard the stable branch of Debian is "basic, but rock-solid" (perfect for my desktop; then I can experiment with my laptop) and I'm already well-used to apt-get and so on.

@thinkMoult @arteteco From my limited reading and hearsay, it sounds like (and its "hardcore" distro brethren , , and ) are excellent if you know what you're doing and are passionate about tinkering with the nuts 'n' guts of programming so you're not upset that your video-watching time is "interrupted" by an update breaking your customized xorg file, necessitating a Timeshift or loading carrying a backup of all your edited configs to copy-paste back into your main PC should anything screw with 'em. :mario_awe:

@arteteco I suppose that's what she perceives in her mind with anything vaguely penis-shaped? Not saying that's wrong or bad: what do many straight men do when presented with anything that looks like a pair o' cheeks or milkies? :flower: Though now I'm curious (please excuse my dirty teen-mind :blobsmilehappyeyes: ) what else is there to do with penis-shaped objects than for the ladies to get their healthy jollies? (Assuming any example object isn't, say, a mere rod for turning a large switch.)

@freemo @arteteco I recently got the Architect version of (from ) . I reinstalled like four times just to see what other little options things I could tweak during install. :gentleblob: I wonder if this counts as a taste of things to come when I finally get brave enough to try or even ?

@arteteco From what I hear, is only good for earning L33t h4x0R points and street cred. :flower:
