I think 'soul' is not something which exists in itself - it is the idea of the essence of a thing, the thing which causes an individual life.

So theories go around that there are spiritual beings separate from the physical (debatable) and I personally think that it extends to all life, such that trees can have awareness which can also extend beyond their physical bodies.

As such, they obviously exist - but their exact definition and nature is quite hard to grasp. I don't think they can survive physical death.

Generic shortcuts - F6 and Ctrl+L both get the URL selected. Ctrl+C can copy - switch window and paste.

Alternatively, if the windows are both open you can drag the Padlock icon (certainly with Firefox) to your field.

Over obsessing with puns is a recognised psychological issue...

At school, I remember the time I was jealous of our 'class clown' who was genuinely pretty hilarious every time he opened his mouth and extremely popular (especially with the girls). The worst thing to do is to try to emulate that (go home, study a ton of jokes... I'm sure everyone did that at some stage).

I think one of the lessons I worked hard to teach my son is that you shouldn't make an effort to be funny, because that's mostly just four-king annoying. Since then, his jokes come less frequently - but with higher hit-rates.

But for sure, Reddit seems to have an average mentality of 6 to 12.

The worst trap to get into is to try to make jokes about unemployed people - because they never work.

Haha I cannot say for sure. I certainly started to duplicate my credentials... so now I'm more likely to be logged in as BendyLemmy.

So initially it was Lemmy.ml (which wasn't working too well) and it got annoying that I wasn't logged in when opening links - so BeeHaw, Lemmy.world, https://fosstodon.org/ is BendyToy,...

One thing I'm finding useful now in Bitwarden is that I can autofill and copy (so just refresh for a new password) to get the same username for each one... but it's kind of getting out of hand.

It's a little frustrated that we can't use a kind of centralised profile - like the way an 'opendesktop' account can be used to log in to various instances of websites. If I log in the Opendesktop website, and then go to Mastodon, I find my Opendesktop account gets logged in there - so there's more fragmentation.

Overal it is just very confusing.

So you’ve all see videos from the likes of Emkay and Updoot Studios or the like right?

No. Never.

Maybe the wrong way is to start with Book 1. I'd say try 'Witches' first, as I found the first book a bit offputting.

  • Stop using the word 'Google' instead of saying 'Search'. Take offense if anyone tells you to 'Google' something - fuck them!!!
  • Set Firefox as your default - don't keep 'defaulting' to chrome, or chromium based browsers (as this code mostly comes from Google).
  • Be sure to become more acquainted with more platforms, keep shortcuts handy and use them when they have content...
  • If you must use Youtube, use it signed out - find your channel and add it to an RSS reader. Avoid using the Youtube interface and avoid the algorithms. Search for any channels you watch on alternative platforms.

Haha yes, I have to stay out of arguments involving Snap vs Flatpak for this reason. I ended up leaving Mint through issues with my HTPC install - with Plex, the 'Home Theater' app died it's death, and options were tough to install - so I went for Arch, failed to get that working well, then tested KDE with Manjaro - bingo!

Until a couple of months ago, I was installing PlexHTPC via AUR which unpacked the snap and installed it - that's so awesome... though now it's dead so I had to jump onto the newly opened Flatpak option (AUR stuck at 1.30.1-1 whilst Flathub is up to 1.39.2).

After the PPA nightmares I had with 'buntu, and later with Mint (PPA's made for 'buntu often don't work) it's like a dream.
