Just finished Embassytown by China Mieville. Haven't read anything for ages so took the opportunity to get back into it on a lazy holiday. Highly recommend this book, or any by China, if you enjoy dense sci-fi.

That's not necessarily true, I dual boot and I've been using Linux for my main OS for about 15 years now. I rarely use mine but it is useful/needed occasionally.

I've been down this rabbit hole as well. They all have problems but I'm most happy with Cantata for library playing (beets for file/tag management) and deadbeef for odd local files and file conversation.

Not really soothing so much as minimizing but I try not to darken the room. I find that being in darkness actually makes the headache aspect much worse even though it is soothing in the short term.

I don't understand why people do this. Surely if you lose your phone or it is stolen then you are without your phone, ID and bank card?

Sounds like textbook NPD, particularly his backstory.
