I never really solved this, though I grown to accept it as a sort of reassuring fact.

I am constantly dying and being substituted by my new present self, but I'm only aware of that because my reasoning brought me there, I'm unable to feel that I'm experiencing it first hand. The self who started this comment is already lost in the past and didn't even realise that it happened, there is a perfect continuity between them and me.

It's a bit sad that "I" won't be specifically the one to experience the future, but some of the other selves with which I compose my identity will, which is good enough.

Moreover, it means that I have no need to fear ceasing existing (like with neurodegenerative diseases, death and similar situations), because it has always happened and it's painless.

I guess that if we objectively knew it we would have solved morality?

I'll soon have a salary and, as I mainly pirate music, I'd like to donate to SpotiFlyer and the artists I listen to the most. However, so far I haven't donated anything.

I really like the colors!

Oh, I understood, thank you very much

[-] Serval@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 year ago

I've never done it, but I can try. Don't set your expectations too high, tho 😅

Thank you, but now I see the image in low resolution. Is it only a problem of mine or do you see it like that too?

So far I only ever used Windows and Linux Mint, but I'm happy with the latter so I guess I'll stay with it for a while.

I have a Kobo eReader (idk the specific model) and it has many advantages:

  • Since its only purpose is reading, the battery lasts a lot more than the phone's one. I usually charge it once a week. (A side effect of the single purpose thing is that there are no notifications, so there are less distractions too).
  • You can read no matter the light conditions, both in the dark and in intense light.
  • The screen is larger than a phone's one, yet the eReader itself is small enough to fit most pockets.
  • I have no problem reading on the phone, but some people feel that their eyesight tires more easily than on paper. Apparently eReaders fix this.
  • It has an embedded offline dictionary and you can download more in other languages.

Some cons are:

  • There is no dark mode, at least on my model.
  • The screen, because of its being different from the phone's, is only black and white.
  • To upload books I didn't buy through the Kobo store I need to connect the eReader to a computer. However, it has a lot of memory, so you can upload all the books you may want to read and you won't need to touch it for months.
  • It's quite slow. Normally I don't even notice it, but it's very annoying if I want to read PDFs where I need to zoom in.
  • I don't know if it's a problem of my device, but it's also slightly buggy. Again, it's not a thing I usually notice, just when I need to highlight something or take notes. It shouldn't be a problem if you use those features only once in a while, otherwise I suggest to keep close to you the phone/notebook for your annotations or to use a more comfortable device.

I hope this helps :)

Krita. I don't use it at a professional level so I don't know if it's missing important features, but as far as I know it's also used by skilled artists. Also, the documentation is great.
