LOL. True. If it weren't for some apps that don't run natively on Linux, I'd have completely abandoned Windows already.
As a developer, I wouldn't want to use anything other than Linux
There are a lot of great technologies centered around WINE to do just that.
There's PlayOnLinux (PlayOnMac), Lutris, Bottles, and I'm sure others I don't know about.
CHEF, WE ALMOST TO PAGE 100
@dustinc
I will be putting this to the test. I have tried almost everything else.
Yah, but, apps like Premiere Pro and stuff aren't great to run on Wine. Moreover, I recently got into Linux, esp. after the PS4 Linux project. Windows has been my primary OS for decades. Hard to let go now and move completely to a different OS. So, for now, I am juggling between the two, in hopes of one day, moving completely to Linux.
I was gonna get some sleep. But, we are this close. I wanna stay till we reach 100.
You can also run a Windows virtual machine on top of Linux for certain applications. I did this for a friend that wanted to run Quickbooks on Linux.
Yah, but, believe me, it can be troublesome, esp. getting GPU passthrough for GPU acceleration on video editing apps and such.
Bing AI messed it up, but, it's a good image.
Us in the next 15 minutes or so:-
C'mon everyone. We are very close to page 100. let's do it!!
PSYCHOLOGY FACTS
Dopamine makes you addicted to seeking information
Have you ever found yourself endlessly scrolling through your social media feed? It all has to do with the dopamine seeking-reward loop [2]. When you’re on your phone, you are stimulating dopamine. Many people know dopamine as the pleasure chemical, meaning it makes you seek enjoyment and pleasurable activities such as food, sex, drugs, etc. But dopamine also makes you seek information and become curious. So, when you’re looking at your feed, your dopamine loop becomes engaged and makes you want to keep scrolling to look for more information. The scary thing is; you will never be satisfied with the amount of information! You will likely continue to scroll through your feed, until something interrupts you.
PSYCHOLOGY FACTS
I can vouch for this
Being in love is biochemically the same as having a severe obsessive-compulsive disorder
“It’s often said that when you’re in love, you’re a little bit crazy. That may be true” said Donatella Marazziti, the person who discovered this fact. The beginning phases of love often appear like an obsession, which led people to consider the possibility that they may be neurochemically similar. Neuroscientists have linked the serotonin transporter 5-HT to both neuroticism and sexual behaviour as well as obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD). A study was done with 20 subjects who had fallen in love in the last 6 months and unmedicated OCD patients, and it was found that both groups had significantly lower density of the 5-HT transporter. Therefore, your brain treats love and obsession very similarly.
PSYCHOLOGY FACTS
In a few hours, you can be convinced you committed a crime that never took place
Evidence from wrongful conviction cases led to the development of this study. The study involved interviewing adult suspects in a friendly environment and using poor memory retrieval techniques. Within 3 hours, the suspects were questioned in ways that lead them to believe in and confess to committing crimes they didn’t actually commit. They were even able to describe the events in vivid detail, and some of them believed they committed a crime as serious as assault with a weapon in their teenage years. Do you think you could be convinced?
PSYCHOLOGY FACTS
There are genes that determine whether you’re an early riser or a night owl
You are genetically wired to be more active during the day or night. Whether you are a morning person, or a night owl is determined by a trait known as chronotype. This discovery was found by monitoring 85,000 individuals using wristbands [6]. They also found that morning people woke up on average half an hour earlier than night owls – so there may be scientific reasoning as to why you want to sleep in every morning!
Thank God my genes are to be blamed for me being an early to bed, late to rise kinda guy.
PSYCHOLOGY FACTS
Being alone for long periods of time is as bad as smoking
Did you know that lonely people are 50% more likely to die prematurely than those with healthy social connections? This is because of several different factors. First, loneliness reduces immunity and therefore increases the risk of diseases. It also increases inflammation in the body, which like smoking, contributes to heart disease and other chronic health conditions. Being lonely also results in stress affecting you more emotionally and mentally, which has an affect on your overall health. So, if you’re feeling lonely, make sure you’re taking the steps to combat isolation. It could be a matter of life or death!
Doesn't say anything about smoking while being alone. Don't two negatives make a positive?!
