She’s certainly having an effect on Misty back there.

There’s literally a list of them all in the sidebars of every one… Plus a link to an even more extensive list of anime communities in general.

You have absolutely nothing to complain about. Curate your feed like the rest of us, and sod off.

Here’s hoping its crap off-road capabilities means it hits and gets stuck on the first bump.

Allowing a person to think for themselves is always the best option.

But allowing her to accept scientology should not be an option, and isn’t what I was suggesting.

I simply assume that OP, looking into scientology with a critical eye, is likely to have a good relationship with their daughter. And that the daughter being of dating age, and the offspring of someone seemingly reasonable, they are both capable of having an adult conversation. One that won’t end with their daughter going “fuck you, I’m cutting you out of my life forever” but rather with their daughter accepting reality and intergrating the facts into her mind in a way where they can’t be easily subverted.

If that isn’t the case, then the heavy handed approach is absolutely warranted.

For a long while their innermost secrets were just that, secret. Members are tight-lipped on any real elaboration, and won’t engage with outsiders.

It also makes it really difficult for outsiders to present any countering logic to their beliefs. People aren’t gonna tell you you’ve fallen in with crazies, if you don’t tell em the dumb shit you’re being told is real.

But a lot of it is now out in the open, if you know to look. Even then, the church AGGRESSIVELY wields the law in an active attempt to suppress public knowledge as much as possible. But as even top-level members have left the cult over the decades, even the innermost bullshit has been exposed.

It’s probable that your daughters boyfriend himself knows much less than what is available online, because members are discouraged from interacting with any “harmful” media so as to not grow disillusioned, and aren’t told anything substantial until it’s way too late to painlessly pull out.

It’s all quite deliberately set up to be as insidiously prolific as possible, while minimizing the chances people will leave.

And if people do show start to show signs of wanting out, the gloves come off really quick with stuff like blackmail and legal action.

Even its tax exempt status in the US is a complete farce, yet it lends the cult an air of legitimacy.

It’s a cult. The “science” they base their beliefs on is called “dianetics”. You can look that up and get more straigh-up explanations than by looking up “scientology”.

In short, they think humans are possessed by the dead souls of immortal aliens from millions of years ago, but we can’t perceive this due to traumatic memories which must be “cleared” using “auditing”.

Auditing sessions are recorded, and as they involve confessing your darkest secrets to “clear” the relevant “trauma”, the recordings can then be used to blackmail people into staying with the cult.

It’s a pay-to-level-up religion, except instead of caring for your health they abuse you. They actively reject mental healthcare based on real science, and consider psychiatrists equivalent to murderers.

They don’t believe in the concept of crime, instead considering anything and everything that happens to someone their own fault.

Members are not allowed to report crimes perpetrated by other members to the actual police, instead they must be reported to the church. When scientologists rape other scientologists, the victim gets punished with more auditing.

The most infamous scientologist is likely Danny Masterson, who is finally in prison for assaulting likely dozens and dozens of female members.

They also don’t tell their followers what their beliefs actually are, before they’ve paid so much money for it that the sunk cost fallacy has them too committed to pull out.

You can find more info online about their actual beliefs told by people who have left the cult, than they reveal even to their own followers. Its all deliberately confusing, because no-one would buy into their crazy bullshit otherwise.

Get your daughter out of this relationship asap. Or even better, have a serious talk with her about scientology, explore what it is and what it does to its members, together, so she can then consider the situation and navigate it for herself.

Try qView

For just viewing image files, qView is much nicer. It literally just opens images.

You might just need to reduce choice anxiety.

Once my library got really big, I would find time to game, but then waste it on figuring how exactly I want to spend the time. End up on youtube or something and not actually get into a game at all.

The solution was to keep just a few games favorited, and forget the rest existed.

When I’m done with a game, it gets unfavorited. When I buy a new game it gets favorited.

If the list gets too short, I might do some spelunking in my library to favorite something from my backlog.

This way, each time I sit down to game, I have a very short list of stuff to start or continue that I might actually manage to pick from.

What the others said.

Maybe you need to take a break from games and indulge in some other, or new, hobby.

I like audiobooks, electric skateboards, cycling, manga… And more.

You could also expand the kinds of games you play. I keep trying new genres and if one gets boring I try something else.

Don’t force yourself if you aren’t having fun. That’s a quick way to really ruin something you like.

I’ve gone through several episodes of feeling like there’s nothing I want to play… But, if I keep giving things a chance, and make sure not to burn myself out by trying to find something too hard, or forcing myself to play something because it “supposed” to be fun, even when right then it isnt, something eventually gets me hooked right back in.

Most recently that has been Deadlock. I can’t get enough of it and the feeling is the best.

So… Is that kinda like a linux subsystem for windows?

I’m sarcastically referring to microsofts telemetry, UI changes, and anything else they try to sell that a lot of people simply don’t want or like.

I’m on the Index. Afaik steamvr is the only thing that really works on linux.

Ah! A fellow beat saber enjoyer.

Bows in the customary greeting that is visible in multiplayer

I’d argue that a lot of the other “additions” and “improvements” make any improvement in comfort irrelevant, as they are unbearable.

On a sidenote, you can set up a generic bottle in Bottles, and then set things up so that double clicking any miscellaneous .exe files just runs them in that bottle.

For the mouse, I recommend G305. It’s wireless, but it lasts a truly stupid amount of time on a single AA. Just keep a spare in your bag and you will literally never have to think about charging it.

It has a fantastic sensor, and doesn’t break the bank. As long as the shape fits you, it should be good.

For keyboards, look for “tenkeyless” or even smaller. Tenkeyless can come with full size keys, while being smaller by dropping the numpad. Even smaller keyboards might drop the columns of keys with the arrow keys and home/end/page keys, the function row, or even the number row. Somewhere along the spectrum you should get down to something that’s about the size of a SteamDeck, or smaller, without making the keys you’ll actually use while gaming, smaller.

If you want to save on thickness and weight, consider LP switches. Low profile mechanical keyboards have become more available. These’ll be thinner and have shorter travel, but without going as flat as most laptops. They can be really nice, while also being way more portable than boards with full-height key switches.

I like them myself just for the ergonomics. A keyboard that lays flatter on my desk means less bending upwards and then back down in my hands and fingers when using it.

I use a G915 TKL, but that may still be a tad big next to the Deck. (And expensive)

Edit: I remember hearing good things about keychron. I don’t have personal experience so do some research, but that K3 and this K7 seem potentially ideal. They also have a bunch of other models.

I don’t think that will do what OP wants. This is how to change some of the colors by configuring the shell you are using. Yes?

But Konsole can also apply a color scheme, and it can change whatever you like. Check my other comment.

Like the other guy said, the appearance of the actual terminal is determined by the profile, and the applied color scheme.

The color scheme of Konsole is part of the profile. To create a new one: Right click anywhere>Menu>Settings>Configure Konsole

Click profiles, in the top right click “New”.

Click Appearance. From here you can add, change, and edit the available color schemes. Once you’re happy, click Apply. Close the dialogue.

Select the new profile and make it the default. Done.

In my experience firefox also seems to remember where I last saved something from each website, and by default opens the download location dialogue there so I can often just hit “save”.

If I’m saving something from pixiv, it goes to where I last saved something from pixiv. Same for imgur, catbox… Etc.
