Maybe that can be comforting if you’ve lost a loved one whose death was instant. Knowing that they didn’t suffer is comforting on its own. David’s death was not instant, and I believe that gave him the opportunity to experience Heaven.”

Precisely why I cling to my idea of peaceful disembodied consciousness. Those who never got the ability the experience an NDE, or such like animals that are used in experiments wherein receptors of their brains that produce feelings of joy and love are blocked for their entire lives, animals that are abused until they die, that never get to experience these feelings, I find deserve something good in some form of an afterlife.

So if someone never gets to feel these feelings but lives a life of suffering, the prospect of “they are no longer suffering” as a way of explaining lack of consciousness in regards to living a tortured life…just doesn’t do it for me for some reason. It offers a pang of comfort in the beginning, but after a while I come back to it and think “what good does it serve if there’s absolutely nothing to make up for the lifetime of suffering? Nothing to contrast the suffering except never experiencing suffering, but not even being aware they are no longer suffering? What’s the point? Where’s the comfort in that?”

I hate it, but it’s my reality.

The next time I wake up, please change my physical form to that of FINN MCMILLAN formerly of SOUTH NEW BRIGHTON at 8 YEARS OLD and keep it that way FOREVER.

I am so sick of this chubby, balding Asian man body!

Thank you!

Very good news on this front : the pci=nocrs is no longer needed to get the touchpad and touchscreen working as of kernel 5.19-rc3. Ubuntu users can install it with no hassle through the mainline package.

Very good news on this front: the pci=nocrs option doesn’t crash kernel 5.18. It’s still needed to get the touchpad working though. I installed this kernel in Ubuntu 22.04 through the Mainline application (https://code.launchpad.net/~cappelikan/+archive/ubuntu/ppa)

With kernel 5.18, everything works again!

I’m very happy with the former decition becuase it’s such a nice machine. However, the Ubuntu aspect is not yet 100%, because of the following problems:

1. The cursor lags and jumps.
2. The super key stopped working (it worked for a while)
3. In tent mode, the Screen controls stop responding (sometimes); the only way to recover is reboot.

(I also tried Linux Mint but the touchpad doesn’t work at all.)

I’ve searched a lot of sites for answers, but in vain so far. Maybe some of the users here have solved these problems and could share their tips?

Cheers!
