maybe it will happen, but maybe it will take 'a long time' until we pair/adapt commercial applications into the Linux/GNU ecosystem... as from a business perspective i really can not understand why you would not migrate to a free to use, as well to modify, OS... as long it have what you need

i do not think an atheist perception of unity is about the same theme of a religious person. as far my empirical experience goes, atheists vary a lot how they felt it. (mine for example was in a dark room with P. cubensis that i could only hear my heartbeat, then i accessed, in my perception, unity; which was a white slightly blue orb of energy [something that all organic life can access or have in it perception]) religious people most of the time believe in the same thing. and considering the hypothetical (and not theoretical) state of explaining how life appeared or was formed, is at least curious that a vast majority of people interpret these questions the same way.

but as an atheist myself, you probably know my repulse towards a belief in a god, specially if it mimics or mirror itself in humans...

off topic: i am reading a book about elements on periodic table and the author mentions at some point about people observing that a mass extinction happens after 20 million years or so... and if we can prove it, it makes the existence of life way more interesting. as nowadays, i think the more we get closer to god, or a divine, unity thing, more i believe we should trust the scientific method, and go look for a sustainable way to get out of this solar system, secure, and maybe find some relatable life that maybe believe in something closer of what we have today: a god or entity that made this all possible

edit: i am drunk and it is new year eve... take it with a dose of compassion :P

yeah sure english is not my primary language, but what i found when asking people what religion means to them, i always find deep interpretation holes, even if they motif is something broadly common... like Christian interpretations etc.

but yeah, psychodelics always invoke a sense of unity in higher doses, and maybe that is a spectrum of feeling a 'holy' experience in a religious context. but what i perceive is; every person has an unique idea of it! even if they all say the same thing, my inner interpretation always perceive as a new thing or at least an addition to what i define as a religious interpretation of what life is or why we are here etc.

are you really sure you understand what religion is about by taking LSD-25? seriously, religion is so broad that claiming that you understand it and resume it on a simple feeling because you took a psychedelic, makes my stomach whirl... even after a sense deprived room psychodelic experience as well many other introspective trips in easier environments, as an atheist since children days

as far my experience goes, generally people who stick with veganism are doing it for ethics/morals... it is really hard to keep that life sty for health or environmental reasons, as it is pretty easy for humanity be sustainable while producing livestock (take a read about regenerative agriculture) if we really want or if we implement regulations towards it

i think i got 2 weeks of veganism when i first tried for health, then i got how healthy and cheap one can be with some ocean fish here and there, eggs etc. some weeks of pause and then the moral part hitted pretty hard and i am going strong for +4 years now

i still carve it when i get in events that have it (i used to eat and like it a lot) but one thing i noticed is that after trying to copy or have some substitute for animal stuff, the thing just flows... the fungi and flora kingdom is pretty vast and there is a lot to-do than worrying in trying to get a fake burguer or cheese

i think we should not look at the end of the spectrum and conclude stuff for everyone... maybe there is a ton of people who will not get negatively effected by social media, as well people who will smoke a cigarette every 3 months in a party

sad fact: dyslexic fonts are pretty useless for dyslexic

a good phrase on this link: "... dyslexia is a language-based processing difference, not a vision problem, despite the popular and enduring misconceptions."

really interesting the effect on short-term memory when you click to reveal the completed image (principally when you have a good chunk set already)! i loved it

also, as everyone probably, right-click to rotate counterclockwise came intuitively real quick in thoughts...

i was watching a documentary about The Beatles and at some point their bus driver said something like: 'you should know how to build and dismantle the vehicle you use to hit the road' so i learned how to build my bicycle wheels!

i did once, with lentils; but nothing beats cooked food, no matter if it is pre-soaked or not...
