I'm pretty sure this isn't the first time? I swear I've seen this headline year(s) ago.

I got reTHAWed until this is on steep discount. They butchered 4 and I guess I'm a purist.

unarc.dll and ISDone.dll are common culprits with Fitgirl on Linux I think in an unresolved YMMV situation.

Try DODI instead.

Windows ME they decided to include the WinNT driver model (can't remember what it's called) alongside the legacy VXD drivers. It's actually quite similar to some of the complaints when Windows Vista did it again.

The problem was shit/rushed driver support. If you built a new PC with well supported hardware, or just got lucky, ME wasn't any less stable than 98SE in my opinion.

Of course the nuance is lost to time, all anyone remembers is "ME bad."

Mine is blank, not even using VPN (don't need to where I live) just NextDNS and required encrypt/anon mode enabled for torrents.

Two of my friends have insomnia because of racing thoughts, which is just a totally alien concept to me. One mitigates it somewhat with meditation, but the way he describes it seems like my natural state of being lol.

Wow, I too can silence my mind

It's nice to meet another who can!

or just plain empty, experiencing the akwardness.

Yeah it's a fucking awful feeling, can relate. I loathe traditional dates especially.

Yes and I'd live my life no other way. I'd rather go mad than to grow internally dishonest, and as a consequence externally as well.

Unfortunately they're right in some cases. I can't really handle it.

It's a meaningful difference for me personally.

My mind works by talking to itself, but it's more like I'm the wordless overseer of that voice. There is a lesser maybe faux alter ego's voice that's employed to bounce ideas off of or used for introspection, to humble myself, conceptualization, etcetera, but it can only talk to myself even out loud. If there's another person present they're only talking to primary.

Where I differ from many minds like other self talkers here it seems is that I have full control over the two voices employed by my ego, and if I stop talking it's silent in my skull. Since I also have Total Aphantasia it's a true void in here besides my emotions and hind brain/instincts unless I'm using the voice(s). No real distinction between thinking in my head and speaking out loud.

The unconscious mind passes stuff it processes to the voices to think about. More nuance is far more paragraphs than worth, so I'll leave it there.

I feel like it'd erode my abilities over time like others say, but primarily I just find autocorrect worse than useless for efficiency. I keep disabling it every time I try on new devices.
