    I’ve noticed this problem as well, as a Linux novice. I stick mostly to GUIs, but a few times I’ve had to figure out the command line equivalent for whatever I’m trying to do because the gui program would just close and provide no further feedback. Then I get to the same step in the command line and it gives me a whole paragraph of explanation about why it failed and how I can fix it. This info should’ve been available in the gui version, maybe like a popup error message in windows



  • I got banned from reddit last week for “threatening violence” basically because my comment contained the word “die.” It wasn’t a verb.

    Reddit is super aggressive with this shit now. If you say “Don’t drink bleach, that would kill you.” Their AI bullshit just sees “kill you” and bans you for threats.

    Site is fucking useless, don’t even bother at this point. It’s mostly robots talking to other robots at this point anyway.


  • CHIM isn’t really meta like that. It is a state of enlightenment achieved after coming to terms with the fact that the Elder Scrolls setting exists within the ‘dream’ of a godhead. The godhead is a mysterious and high order entity, think Lovecraftian gods, which isn’t really sleeping and dreaming in the way we normally think of it.

    Typically when one comes to understand the nature of the dream they inhabit, they vanish, becoming one with the dream in a process known as zero-summing. It essentially means coming to the conclusion that all things within the dream are one and the same, that the individual is an illusion.

    CHIM is achieved by facing this fate and asserting that, though all reality is a dream, your existence as an individual with thoughts and feelings and agency within the dream matters and is valid. Some suggest this state confers great power, such as the ability to reshape the landscape or perform miracles, like when one lucid dreams. However, I find this position poorly supported. Rather, CHIM seems best viewed as one form of enlightenment, a state achieved through great wisdom and insight but which brings with it no particular power. Vivec can be slain, after all, and relies on his connection to the Heart of Lorkhan to exercise divine power.
