I think it sounds like something different. Lucid dreaming is being in a state between awake and asleep to stay in first person control with the brain in unrestrained creative mode, while this is about training the brain to make up desired interpretations after waking up from full sleep mode.

Oh this is interesting. I've recently come to terms with the amazing plasticity of the brain. So if the brain assembles a narrative only after the flood of random stimuli, it should be possible to train it to use certain baselines for what narratives to assemble.

Any neurologists and psychiatrists and other brain specialists in the house?

For nerdy nerds like us a torrent client isn't anything complicated. Regulating up and downstream bandwidth to personal preference isn't complicated. Managing torrents to seed and not isn't complicated. For your Average Joe though...

I haven't watched Mad Max one in twenty years, but I'm pretty sure the backdrop is rising international political tensions and the ending suggests a global nuclear war.

Not daydreams but I have scenarios that I explore in different narratives I make up to ease myself into sleep. Currently it's a sci-fi one. They are not intended to be stories for anybody else and I have no ambition to write anything down.

Sweden. Some people are having decorations up already but normal is from advent. Christmas is celebrated the eve of the 24th with dinner and Santa visiting in person. Dinner is commonly a Christmas ham and other regional or family traditional dishes. 25th is a slow day when kids are playing with their new toys and the adults are relaxing after the build up until Christmas eve. The evening of the 25th is quite common for young adults that are visiting their family home in a town where they no longer live to go out to the local bars and get shitfaced with people they used to know, possibly air their teenage grudges or crushes and get in a fight or laid depending on the scenario and outcome.

Same here with ml and I got banned from subs and by mods because I am just a filthy leftist and not a full on totalitarian cultist. Signed up on some different other ones. Learned some time ago that it is possible to filter everything and everyone from ml and my Fediverse experience has improved bigly.

It's not funny and sad, it's hilarious and deeply depressing.

My understanding of space engineering is that getting rid of heat is a bigger problem. Makes me wonder how much of efficiency of Stirling engines are lost due to extra weight and complexity for heat exchangers and radiators.

My dog is very happy about cold weather and crispy frozen leaves on the ground. I'm happy about my dog being happy about cold weather and crispy frozen leaves on the ground.

I've decided long ago to not use libraries or other packages with any remotely sexually suggestive anime/furry mascots or graphics in the repo or docs or even developers avatars. I prefer we work with a less perfect fit and do what we must for our needs.

Fuck me if I'm in a business meeting and a higher up or client decides to look something in the spec up and lands on that GitHub page. No way I'm interested in explaining or justifying any of it because why would I.

If this post is intended as discussion material; No, not as long that I have my stationary computer that fills my gaming needs.

I think that's the same game I queued up for like 90 mins at a computer fair to have a few minutes of very confused playtime and that was it.

I remember trying the first VR headset game 1990 that ran on a Commodore Amiga in like 7 fps and was terrible in every way.

Back in the day scanners were not the table model that is obsolete today but were drum scanners or hand scanners of which the latter was a hammerhead mouse with a horizontal optical sensor and regular computer mice used balls for tracking.

Xennial here. I'm glad to stay out of this manufactured generational conflict drama.

I've been called boomer and merrily laugh in the face of the kids that think they are just as clever that I thought I was in their age.

Aw duh me

Calling everything AI is the new "Fake!"

Back in the nineties I was told off that Windows users are fanatical to their OS by a girl with one single sticker on her bicycle and it was the Apple logo.

We worked in the same music studio with exclusively Apple computers and my money job was administration of an office with mixed Windows and Linux and BSD environment.

I never had problems with either OS but I did have problems with Apple hardware being 2-3x the price for performance back in the days when performance mattered.

I dunno if she mistook some single mouse button banter as something personal or what. Needless to say she didn't take it well when I laughed it off and told her I don't decorate anything with neither penguins or the Windows logo.

The rest of the world has done various responses to the American trade war. Most everybody else has found other partners to do business with and those that haven't are soon about to. America is not hurting other countries economically as much as they are hurting themselves. The entire ICE thing is terrible and it is too bad the government agencies have given in and that the military seems to be rolling with it too. But it is still domestic affairs as long there isn't any proof of concentration camps or massacres or the like. We have lots of empathy for the people in America suffering from all of this.

But then again...

You guys have free elections and this is your democratically elected leader doing what he promised to do. You guys had him elected after he staged a failed coup once already. What do you expect the rest of the world to do about it? To save you guys from yourselves?

Sorry, dude. We're busy dealing with our own national problems, trying to block Chat Control in EU, support Ukraine and deal with the entire Russia scenario, try to stop the genocide in Gaza, and a bazillion other more pressing things than dealing with problems America had caused for itself.
