My Various Thoughts and Dialog

pretty much what the title says, this will serve as a dumping ground for random thoughts i have if i ever bother to go onto this site since it gives me motivation to post
 
anyways to start its currently the 21st of April, and its around night for me, i should be sleeping as i plan to go to my local library tomorrow to pick up some books, its been raining for me recently and im not so sure what to do right now as my desire for sleep grows, usually when i feel worry about my sleep, i usually use a simple breathing techique of breathing in through my nose and out through my mouth, it works better than it may seem.
 
if my own worries become overwhelming, i use valareian root to sleep as it mainly helps by calming my own thoughts, i also sleep with a night light as i think sleeping in pure darkness also adds to it a bit, and it is comforting.

recently i've been considering getting one of those framework laptop, more specifically the new 13 pro they just announced, i currently use a 2021 macbook pro and its really great, i think in the video announcing it, they compared to a macbook pro also and wanting to make something like it but for linux. they also said that they've been able to get comparable battery life thanks to the pather lake chip from intel. it sounds insanely inciting to get as having the same battery life of an arm macbook pro with the freedom of installing whatever os you want sounds really great, which you technically can do on arm macs, but is fairly limited by things like support, battery life etc. not to mention being able to get in directly into the laptop itself for memory,ssd and ports, it sound like a perfect laptop.

personally i am hoping for linux support on arm macs to get better, mainly in the battery life and in general more support for more distros. my personal dream is to be able to use fedora with the mate DE, i absolutly love mate and i use it on a spare laptop and i honestly love how simple it is to customize and its looks.

speaking of DE's, i personally don't really like GNOME, it's not my thing and honestly feels like something i would use on something like a phone or tablet than a desktop or laptop, i get that its supposed to be like workspaces and stuff but personally that's not how i use it. you can't even minimize windows on it and bring it up when you need it (except for ubuntu's variant of GNOME which makes it more tolerable). i also find kde to be quite ugly, but it is much more tolerable than GNOME, kde always had his cheap feeling when i'd use it, not to mention that the task bar also slightly hovers when you are not full screen in an application, i never understood why that is a thing.
 
really only desktop envorments i find pleasing to use are ones that are more traditional in their approach, i tried cinnamon and i personally found it nice to use, it pleasing to look at and its more closer to a traditional desktop with a task bar and such. my personalv favorite thought is mate, its very pleasing to me and has very extensive customizability without having to rice, but i don't really do that as i find it pleasing as it. when i first installing it, it has this stuff with workspaces like gnome, but it actually lets you customize the panel to where you can make it act like a traditional task bar, essentially you can customize how you manage windows and such, which atleast in my experience most environments don't seem to let you

for the sake of my argument in terms on window management, compare just off these image how do you think mate and gnome manage windows based off these images

Hello again! it's currently the next day! i just got out of the shower and im going to school real soon, and i usually take the bus there, which i have to walk to the bus stop which isn't far and i only have 2 classes today which are both uneventful, my first class is really annoying because there are these 3 broads that just love to talk, and frankly are annoying to me, my second class is pretty boring which its just about government which is fairly easy.
 
anyways, on another note something i've been revisiting recently is The True Capitalist radio, and mainly its host Ghost. recently i listened in to it's most current reincarnation The Ghost Show and i have mixed feelings on it. Ghost has a more higher quality mic, which makes him sound even older. and ai trash is everywhere, but that's more of a personal thing and Ghost is likely just lazy, so i'll give him benefit of the doubt here. He still does Radio Graffiti and i listened into it, and Radio Graffiti isn't as consistently funny as it used to be. Not to mention that people call in with ai stuff which i personally don't like, it sort of removes the fun of splices and jokes. most splices from the recent show seem to be ai trash, or something about politics and generally don't have the consistency that lots of others had, maybe because they are old jokes, but it seems like they can't even come up with original ones, it makes me almost sad in a way.
