WALK to school?! back when I were a lad, we had to CRAWL to school! what a great workout it was! and, for our packed lunches, we'd have a hard-boiled potato with a dod of ketchup, and some breadcrumbs if we were lucky, and we enjoyed it!!
I was wrong, the average cost is 348,000 gbp
what are you on? Farage resigned their seat because they got 5 million they didn't declare and wished to avoid parliamentary procedure, instead saying "the voters should decide", and the other parties knew it was only a PR stunt so declined to take place, because there will be a by-election (yet another £200,000) that will happen anyway once the undeclared gift gets him booted.
can one read this without signing-in with google?
"'A Course on Early Buddhist Meditation' is a series of ten long-format talks on meditation by Bhante Sujato. The curriculum derives from the early suttas, particularly from the Theravada tradition.
"The video trailer for the original course from which this series has been derived/edited can be found here - https://youtu.be/EEOykTO5754

"This series of 10 Dhamma Talks by Bhante Sujato, given during the rains retreat in Santi Forest Monastery in NSW, Australia in 2007 is the most detailed description of Ajahn Mahachatchai's Metta Meditation technique I have ever come across on the internet."

I started off with Opus 4.8, but fairly quickly switched to GLM-5.2 for the vast majority of work. just a couple of days of "effort"
what a curious way to explore media! very artsy
I liked that navigating through spaces of images of items, none of which I quite knew the name, purpose, cultural references regarding or social significances of -thing
what an ocean of oceans of oceans this world has been and is
endless fun, a lovely bit of play, and the sound; satisfies! ty
per-screen virtual desktops!!
fiinally, the most frustrating thing about KDE, wot lead me to learn so much about other WM systems over the last couple of decades, is gone
(the issue was a few days over 21 years old, though closed several weeks back now)
I came to find I prefer tag-based systems, where apps can have multiple tags (I came back to AwesomeWM for a number of years twice)
but the way KDE didn't handle the "classical" pager behaviour made any kind of workflow a hair pulling experience that necessitated the constant dragging of pager window representations been desktops for one of the screens
the new issue for adding a "switch the screen the virtual desktop hotkeys affect" or "switch the virtual desktop somehow on only screen X" system (afaiu, at first brief scan) is https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=519009
something something about liberalism always ending up siding with economic advantage over social justice/liberation

all right, all right, who got a bot to write this comment then?
bzzz, clank
"I am sorrowful that.."
Scottish n ASD here, I've come to use the above (or just "I'm sad that..", maybe "conflicted" sometimes)
to those who use "sorry" to me, the ambiguity of the overloaded meaning leads me usually to say "no need to apologise, though I do appreciate the sentiment!"
the rhetorical arrogance is comical;
"“I think you have to qualify or prove arguments or points if they are new or if they are debatable - but for me at least, these two facts - that the Iranians are working on the nuclear bomb and that they are aggressors for decades - are so obvious, so proven for many times, they are almost - it’s like saying America is the biggest democracy in the world.”
"“I don’t have to prove that,” he added.
"India is widely considered as the largest democracy in the world with 1.4 billion people, while Iran has always denied working on a nuclear weapon."
maybe actual e2e messaging some year.. issue thread for that is weird, not because it's not a priority, but because of the consistently bad security logic stated as to why it's not on any roadmap
I can't see my private messages on Bluesky, n eh I guess I never will
the 'giving protestor info to USA authorities' thing dented Proton's reputation by a lot
https://www.404media.co/proton-mail-helped-fbi-unmask-anonym...
but people copy and paste pertinent info from articles all the time and have done for many many years, so why would you think it's a hard and fast sign of bot activity
public/legislative demand for data portability is imho the movement that will help shift society from this cycle
edit: oh, that and distributed authentication and distributed discovery

the "concern" of US civilians in general is different from the result of their nations behaviours

I wonder where where LiteStep is at
used it (and sometimes SharpE) for a number of years until about idk 20y ago

Scotland is part of GB, so the fairly likely Northern Ireland exit will be the big blow to the "UK"
someone who needs mindfulness might know they need it and thus talk about it
one reflection on that would be the nvc phrase "violence is the tragic expression of unmet needs"
the Buddha taught critical thinking regarding the base teachings, an emphasis that was lost by many later schools of thought
Early Buddhist Texts (EBT) are fairly non-religious, e.g. see the Thai forest tradition/BSWA talks
this school of thought even often ignores a fair portion of the abhidama texts ("about dhamma", the meta commentaries) that started to form a number of years after the death of the Buddha
if anyone wants a seriously good deep deep deconstruction of the main mindfulness sutta/sutra from this perspective, podcast kinda form, see https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PL70fWqztn7OXdbGqWEOvhOVqf...
