I have both voiced and unvoiced thoughts in my head, depending on what “level” the “thinking” is at. Like others in this thread, I heard every word of this comment as I typed it, as well as a few other times as I ideated and rephrased it before typing. However, some things, particularly practiced things, just happen without any “speaking”, and I just get a notion of the end result. This sometimes leads to a weird thing where, when I’m concentrating on something, both the voiced and unvoiced “threads” will do the same thing, but the voiced thoughts move at the speed of speech, and so the unvoiced thoughts get there first, and then have to wait for the voiced thoughts to catch up. I then get to wonder why I just thought the same thing twice, and why I waited for the voiced thread to finish at all when I already knew the outcome. It’s also not always just my own voice (though usually), I’ll set up “straw-men” to represent a certain viewpoint or person if something needs that level of consideration, or I want to prepare for a difficult conversation (or reflect on one that went poorly) - I’ve seen memes about similar things, so I think that’s pretty usual.
Similarly, when reading, I hear every word (not always in my own voice, characters and narrators sometimes get their own), but if I really get into the flow then parts will move into the unvoiced stream and I get much clearer images of what’s going on (I’m a 1-2 on the aphantasia scale depending on concentration and familiarity) - that state is hard to get to, though.
No idea if any of that’s normal or not, I’ve never really thought to talk to anyone about it.
Also, I occasionally have a small part of the inner monologue slip out as whispered speech too, like you said, though I don’t tend to cover it up, if people ask I just say “oh, sorry, just thinking out loud a bit”.
Edit: added more detail
6·1 month agoPretty sure I’ve commented this on Lemmy before, but I’m gonna drop a link to this Struthless video again because I think it’s pretty good at getting the point and really reflected my experience as someone who was once a “young man on the internet”, too.
5·2 months agoSorta fun related fact, in the original text Death is actually the only one who has a name at all, the rest have just been inferred based on historical context.
Whisper of the Heart but I couldn’t explain why
OK I had a great weekend not thinking about this thread (Yes I know it’s not been the weekend for a couple of days now, it was extended), so I’m going to write one more message on this and then just leave it as is. My main issue is that you straight up said the upgradeability is a scam. It’s clear from this thread you’ve never worked in repair or had to upgrade a consumer-grade laptop from the last 10 years - which is fine but you shouldn’t go throwing around such harsh phrases as “scam” for it. Framework has a legitimately good product that could feasibly be the last laptop you ever buy - for example, their most recent refresh of the Framework 13 mainboard will work in the original chassis, despite numerous design revisions over the last 5 years. Very few other devices in the space, even those designed to be upgraded, can be brought up to the newest version with just a mainboard replacement (this is one of my biggest issues with FairPhone, but that’s not really related to the topic at hand). Similarly, the new 12" is more easily upgraded than ever with the swap to pogo pins on the keyboard rather than a ribbon cable for the keyboard. I truly think I could give my mother a Framework and she would be able to keep it up-to-date without any input from the members of my family who have repair experience.
On this topic:
Offtopic, we are discussing linux laptops
The Asahi Linux project is nothing to sneeze at, and some of the most competent Linux users I know are on either an Intel or M-whatever Mac. Being an Apple device does not exclude it from being a Linux laptop, though I would never personally recommend them to a user, new or old.
On this because I forgot to address it:
I hope my suggestion of KFocus IR16 is not discounted because of my opinions on framework
It does look like a good laptop, and I think you should have separated your comments out because now your actually pretty decent recommendation is going to be buried because it was paired with an unrelated and fairly ignorant take.
nine phillips screws…
Credit where credit is due, I would have like phillips, but I do also understand the use case for torx on the Framework (plus it comes with a screwdriver, which fixes the main “who has a torx driver?” issue with torx). Either way, I’m not looking to discount the potential reparability or upgradeability of the IR16, I don’t have one and can’t weigh in there, If your position had been “This laptop manages to actually be more upgradeable than the Framework, whilst also being built for Linux first”, there would be no problem there (provided you could back that claim up), but outright calling it a scam? Come on man…
Long and short, no, I would not call the upgradeability of the Framework a “marketing scam”. Thus far, a Framework laptop 13 built the day they released 5 years ago could be not only continually used and repaired for those 5 years, but also brought up-to-date with the latest hardware with relatively little user effort in comparison to similarly sized and spec’d consumer laptops, and without needing to buy a whole new device - you can just “ship of Theseus” the thing. Note that when I say “hardware”, I don’t just mean the fun buzzword-y hardware like CPU and RAM, but also things like keyboards, speakers, the screen, the charger/cable, and other similar components that a user is less likely to think about wanting to improve at the time of purchase, but would otherwise be hurting for newer versions of 5+ years down the line.
so all the normal stuff that’s normally upgradable
That’s just the thing, though. Soldered RAM and even drives is becoming more and more common these days, especially in the Apple space. But, the main thing here is user replaceable. I don’t know when you last swapped the RAM on a laptop, but on most consumer laptops these days it is a nightmare. With Framework, it’s 5 screws (the driver for which is included in the box, but also just standard torx) and you’re in, and they have a QR code to a guide on how to do the replacement for first timers. I know it can be hard to take if you’re used to pulling apart computers for fun, I come from there too, but the easy user upgradeability is seriously, literally, actually a great selling point on the Framework.
Also, the case, screen, trackpad, etc that get all the wear and tear are just as easily replaced if that’s your hang up.
replacing the entire guts
That’s not how it works at all though… What? The RAM and SSD are individually replaceable, and the screen, speaker system, and chassis all have individual upgrades that have been released with time too (for the 13, at least). The only “replacing the entire guts” you would do is if you replaced the mainboard for a CPU upgrade, and even then that’s just the mainboard, not the RAM, SSD, etc., which is pretty on-par with, say, a desktop anyway as often a meaningful CPU upgrade will include switching to a newer platform and therefore a new motherboard.
Not saying the Framework has no issues at all whatsoever, but that’s sure not one of them.
Zorin is a good shout, but it’s definitely not “trending”, it’s been a staple recommendation for over 5 years now.
Kagi Small Web, personally. Also a lot of people who blog on the Fediverse have RSS feeds, so discovery via Mastodon and such is good too.
3·7 months agoYeah I mean he’d only been president for like 2 years at that point, so it’s possible. Also possible it’s just fake, tho.
The video is posted 6 years ago, so he wasn’t a former president yet
Unfortunately he might (I make no claims as to the legitimacy of this video)
Huh
I don’t use IMDB much, but I’ll keep that in mind.
I’m legitimately interested in why IMBD? Of all websites I think that ones one of the ones I can least imagine needing an app?
Yeah dog, we have flow, yeah dog, this is high kick nice
It says on the page that
As we’re committed not to add paywalls, this purchase will not grant you any additional features in Immich. We rely on users like you to support Immich’s ongoing development.
So this is a purchase which grants you no extra bonus, which is functionally a donation. This is a common practice with software supported by Futo - they offer the software for free, but ask that you pay a good-faith “license fee” for the software anyway to help fund development. I think Louis Rossman has a video about it somewhere, if I remember I’ll link it in an edit when I have time to find it later.
The opening of tech noir 2 goes so fricken hard and really sets the radically hopeful tone of the song so well. Wasn’t expecting to see Gunship mentioned on here, but glad someone did.
