And you have the right to your opinion even though it is not aligned with reality. Excess and lack of ability to moderate behavior is the problem.

And LeePen has even submitted a patch for seatd!

I am so sorry your thinking is so scrambled. That nonsense will be the end of this fruitless conversation with I am not sure who or what . . .

Remember that the teaching only points the way . . . I have answered to the best of my ability. I cannot bestow that knowledge on anyone else. We can only take that journey for ourselves.

Perhaps this anecdote will put things into perspective . . . I once asked an old monk why it is so difficult to understand the teachings. He replied that only one or two out of a hundred who attempted would have the ability to do so.

golinux goes off to the sensory delight of strawberries and coconut milk!

I have always trusted my sensory receptors. They have never failed me. It is the spinning out of the mind AFTER the sensory perception (which only lasts a nanosecond) that is the problem.

And "obsessive attachment" is the problem. The avalanche CAN be stopped but requires focused and sustained effort.

Just try to imagine the relief of not having that constant chatter screaming in your head but only being in and observing the ever-changing kaleidoscope of present phenomena. It is a choice between fiction or reality . . .

That conclusion was realized in India over 2500 years ago. And yes, spinning out in discursive thinking is the problem and being present in a non-judgmental way in the present is the solution.

Have you seen this?

Thankfully, xorg still lives and has been forked.

Back in the day, when computers were still fun,  I built several packages with Soul Singin's:
HowTo Build a Package from Source the Smart Way

It always worked.

steve_v . . . If our species survives the coming years, you may live long enough to experience this transition yourself. It is a well known and documented phenomena that has been a recurring theme in the arts for decades. But it is a different perspective to live it and it is quite unsettling to realize that your generation will never know the expansive freedom and autonomy that my generation had. That is not pessimism. That is observation. If I were a pessimist why would I still be beating my head against a brick wall supporting options for sane computing and putting up with your misdirected abuse? We really are on the same team but from different perspectives.

Are you aware that this very forum was one of my many contributions to devuan? Early on, I self-hosted it for several years before it was eventually taken up by the project.

Seems like this thread has morphed into an ode to the passing of the torch from those whose brains were formed before the internet and  those who have never really known true autonomy. This passing of the torch is nothing new but it has never before been a worldwide event. We play with the machine but it is the machine that owns us. We have become what we have collectively thought and imagined for decades and as usual, shot ourselves in the foot yet again. This is not progress. It is just repeating same mistake yet again. Humans never seem to learn . . .

Congratulations! And the winner of the best problem solver but most disgusting human being award goes to . . .
