Do you mean "the understanding without the trust in the ability to think that counts"?

EDIT:
I seems to be an ancient technology. First undermine the trust in the ability to think, then indoctrinate.

The trust in the ability to think is "a symptom of delusional arrogance on steroids".

Indeed, it might be difficult to trust the Teachings, if "it is so difficult to understand the Teachings". And how to understand them without the trust in the ability to think?

If you trust the Teaching, it should not be a problem to provide clear and confident answers to related questions.

If you do not trust your senses, it is to be perceived as a deceptive illusion.

"constant chatter screaming in your head" - It has nothing to do with thinking.

So that, you claim that senses are not truthful, and the ability to think cannot be trusted. Is this your road to ultimate reality?

Why do you trust your state of mind without "constant chatter screaming in your head"?
It might be a deceptive illusion produced by discursive mind to blow up your ego.

#258 Re: Installation » [SOLVED] No audio on Excalibur through pipewire on KDE wayland » 2025-08-29 04:29:44

"Thoughts come to the mind" because there is an obsessive attachment to a certain state of mind.
Try to think without thoughts.

#259 Re: Installation » [SOLVED] No audio on Excalibur through pipewire on KDE wayland » 2025-08-29 03:26:00

Not thinking leads to misunderstanding rather than to the state of Bodhisattva.

#260 Re: Installation » [SOLVED] No audio on Excalibur through pipewire on KDE wayland » 2025-08-29 01:28:06

The statement is not only questionable, but also harmful in the sense that it was designed to undermine one's trust in his ability to think.

#261 Re: Installation » [SOLVED] No audio on Excalibur through pipewire on KDE wayland » 2025-08-29 00:19:05

It is very Freudian. If one does not trust his senses, his love to human beings may look rather strange. He may need a sort of ideological instrument to distinguish between good and evil.

A disconnection from reality, a core Freudian concept, can manifest as unusual or distorted expressions of love and affection for other people. Trusting one's senses is fundamental to healthy perception and interaction

Detailed step-by-step instructions may help to learn and prevent frustration. They may help to build confidence and a sense of accomplishment during the learning process. Later, one might be able to compile without instructions.
For example, if you know how to compile wxMaxima with CMake, you may easily compile keypassXC without instructions.

Auto-selected: makefile

--list is a secret esoteric option

$ man debhelper | grep 'BUILD SYSTEM OPTIONS\|--list' -A4
BUILD SYSTEM OPTIONS
       The following command line options are supported by all of the dh_auto_* debhelper programs. These programs
       support a variety of build systems, and normally heuristically determine which to use, and how to use them.
       You can use these command line options to override the default behavior.  Typically these are passed to dh(1),
       which then passes them to all the dh_auto_* programs.
--
       --list, -l
           List all build systems supported by debhelper on this system. The list includes both default and third
           party build systems (marked as such). Also shows which build system would be automatically selected, or
           which one is manually specified with the --buildsystem option.

Debian packaging is a secret esoteric science. There are, for example, virtual pseudo meta packages, which do not exist. If you ignore them, debhelper may fail to build the package you need
_https://dev1galaxy.org/viewtopic.php?id=6644

If you are not initiated into the secret knowledge, you might be confused.

EXAMPLE: debhelper-compat

$ apt-rdepends --build-depends --follow=DEPENDS wxmaxima
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree... Done
Reading state information... Done
wxmaxima
  Build-Depends: appstream-util
  Build-Depends: cmake ( 3.4)

  Build-Depends: desktop-file-utils
  Build-Depends: libwxgtk-webview3.2-dev
  Build-Depends: libwxgtk3.2-dev
  Build-Depends: netcat-openbsd
  Build-Depends: xauth
  Build-Depends: xvfb 
$ apt info debhelper-compat
Package: debhelper-compat
State: not a real package (virtual)
N: Can't select candidate version from package debhelper-compat as it has no candidate
N: Can't select versions from package 'debhelper-compat' as it is purely virtual
N: No packages found

$ apt show debhelper-compat
Package: debhelper-compat
State: not a real package (virtual)
N: Can't select candidate version from package debhelper-compat as it has no candidate
N: Can't select versions from package 'debhelper-compat' as it is purely virtual
N: No packages found 

The package debhelper-compat cannot be installed, for "it is purely virtual". But it might be needed in a certain esoteric sense (think of hidden framework of knowledge).

ALSA users may try to believe that it is not a sort of deliberate obfuscation. It may require a significant mental effort needed for a cognitive process of self-persuasion, where one chooses to interpret an action or statement as accidental or a result of incompetence, rather than malicious intent to obscure "secret knowledge".

Detailed step-by-step instructions can help one to build own knowledge. By using detailed step-by-step instructions, learners can effectively build their knowledge and skills. It does not always work. The slaves of ALSA cannot build own knowledge, because they do not trust their senses and their ability to think. Though they can build another sort of knowledge. Knowledge is ignorance in this sense.

Password management is a must-have

We revealed attacks against end-to-end encrypted applications, demonstrating the recovery of encrypted confidential data from backups of two messaging apps, whatsapp and Signal, and 10 password managers LastPass, dashlane, zoho, vault, 1password, npass, roboform Keeper, nordpass, protonpass and KeyPassXC. We named these attacks Injection Attacks and the papers were published on Usenix, sec24 and Security and Privacy 24.

It can be disabled in CMake config, and re-enabled in debian/rules.
It might be a sort of spyware.
If it is about security, you have to compile it yourself.

...when dealing with security-sensitive software or systems, you should take responsibility for building, configuring, and maintaining it yourself to ensure it's configured to your specific needs and not vulnerable due to third-party misconfigurations.

The real question is whether your trust your ears.

If you do not trust your ears, you can easily fool yourself with "objective tests", and enjoy any "digital crap".

If you do not trust your ears, how can you trust your eyes, your brain, your thoughts, and your opinions, and your "objective tests"?

If you do not trust your ears, you might be perfectly happy with pipewire.

people having strange issues with the system bell before

Arch Linux users had such problem many years ago, when systemd was enforced.
The "beeping driver" was in the boot image.
It was not enough to blacklist it, one had to rebuild the boot image (Initramfs).

It seems that you trust your scope and terminal output rather than your ears.
