The problem is “black” being used in a negative context while at the same time “white” is being used in a positive context. It reinforces racial stereotypes specifically because that is the language we also use for race. Language and psychology are inseparable.
“Block list” and “allow list” are clearer and less ambiguous anyway, and just make more sense.
Good. Let’s get to where they can count the number of visitors without counting.
That feeling that you are a liar who is always lying to yourself and you are both untrustworthy for lying to yourself and gullible for believing yourself. And little things like failing to get the ten competing but complementary and codependent thoughts out of your head in a way that others understand further reinforces the feeling that you are being deceptive even though you are trying really hard to be as complete and thorough and accurate as possible.
Stimulants and a reliable support network do help.
Mint doesn’t officially support KDE and there are known issues if you do it yourself. You’d be better off switching distros if you like that desktop. Pure Debian + KDE might be a more comfortable move in that situation.
I will be the black sheep that strongly recommend against Mint. I have had more hardware compatibility problems trying to run Mint than any other distro. This is anecdotal, but consistent enough that I would make bets on it. Secondly, I hate Cinnamon, the default desktop environment. There are better choices.
Instead, I’ll suggest Fedora KDE. It’s rock solid, reliable, and the KDE Plasma desktop is the best currently available whether you leave it stock or customize it.
If you want to try things out, set up a spare thumb drive with Ventoy, which will let you boot to any ISO you copy to it. Most distros have “live” versions that you can boot to from the thumb drive and try out before installing. That said, most linux distros install in 5 minutes, so don’t be afraid to try anything and everything you’re curious about.
Also, avoid Cachy or other Arch based distros for now. They are great, but a far more hands-on. Something for the future, when you are more comfortable with linux in general.
As written language spread through existing spoken languages, changes are made to match the spoken sounds and languages that have different pronunciation requirements repurpose, drop, create, or modify characters to fit their phonetic needs.
That’s my kind. If I am enjoying myself I tune out the world and will forget to eat or sleep. I’ve gone more than 24h without realizing it, though the autism exacerbates it. Many years ago I started setting an egg timer to help “bring me back” but these days I can use phone apps for that. I recommend that for fellow hyperfocus neurospicies.
You start looking up the tree and remember climbing a particular tree as a kid, you wonder if that tree is still there, you feel sad that your body is falling apart and you could never climb trees like that again, why do many cities remove all their trees, why isn’t there a less verbose version of JSON, there is it’s YAML, why don’t more things support YAML
“5 MINUTES” LATER
But why does nature love crabs, what was that word called again, you go to look it up but your phone has a notification about a new item at Taco Bell, you hope the brought the enchirito back, the sun has set and you’ve missed all the buses and they are no longer running and how long has it been?
Isn’t Australia’s rightmost parties neoliberal? That’s no less dangerous than out of the closet nazis, they are just better at hiding their dismantling of basic individual rights and services in pursuit if profit.
That one does what it says, says what it does, is short to type, and doesn’t psychologically reinforce any negative stereotypes.
