I guess the main difference in all those activities is when doing something for yourself, as a hobby or relaxing activity, or when doing something as an obligation, or even worse, doing something for others. Even something like drawing can become terrible if you have to stress yourself, follow someone’s orders instead of your own style, and have to do it fast to meet some deadline.

Thanks for linking the sources. I will take a look into that

People keep telling us that ai energy use is very low, but at the same time, companies keep building more and more giant power hungry datacenters. Something simply doesn’t add up.

Is your 2 in 1 one of those baytrail cpus with some atom z sonething? If so, they’re really problematic with linux, since they were released, due to some obscure stuff in their soc. I remember even people who formatted and reinstalled windows losing functionality.

Isn’t aluminum neurotoxic?

Don’t be so hard at yourself. We all have dumb thoughts here and there. It doesn’t look like so because people usually only externalize the good ones.
