  • If life isnt enjoyable, would disappearing really make a difference?

    I think I wouldn’t mind being dead, as I couldn’t feel anything anyways. But existing and then suddenly not even knowing I don’t exist sounds very scary. When I forget what I was thinking about a few seconds ago, at least I know that I did forget about something. I think the fear stems from the fact that no one can even imagine how death feels like. Sleeping or being in a coma isn’t even close as it feels like a time skip.


  • I try to see the world and everything in it for what it really is. I don’t believe in fate, god, karma, souls, etc. The way I see it, I’m depressed and don’t enjoy life because I’m just a collection of electrical signals/chemical processes inside of my brian. And my brain is fucked. I can’t relate to people who genuinely enjoy life. I get sparks of happyness but spend most of the time being miserable.

    Another personal reasons for why I don’t enjoy life is change. I know that no change = no progress = boredom, but I still despise it. And look at that, literally everything in life changes all the fucking time. Loved ones die, pets die, the tech I love slowly dies out.

    And then there is the looming threat of dying at any moment because I’m a fragile organism that can die even while sleeping. That terrifies me to no end. Just suddenly not existing. And yes I have watched motivational videos advocating for why we shouldn’t fear death. I’m not buying it.

    Firefox is literally not in Ubuntu’s repos anymore. They didn’t want to maintain it as Mozilla agreed to just make the Snap version that works across all Ubuntu versions and anywhere else.

    What should the command do? Just fail? Instead it clearly tells you it’s downloading the snap of Firefox.

    In fact if it was up to me I would just get rid of most GUI apps from the repos that have a snap/flatpak equivalent.

    He is a true CEO of Linux. Has no clue about what he’s doing but he’s very confident. He should’ve at least read a tiny bit about how this works. Such as, you can’t go and install apt packages without updating your system first, or else you will run into issues. You also can’t use a GUI apt frontend as well as apt via the command line. Some of the errors he encountered are totally Ubuntu’s fault tho, such as the broken installer.
