I disable notifications for everything I can, but some need to stay enabled. My line of work means I need to leave email notifications on, for example. Texts and other messaging apps are on too, because otherwise I’ll go days without talking to people. My blue light filter app also has a spot of the notification bar, so that I can always turn it off and on when I want to.
There is one very specific feeling I’ve experienced “in my brain” and it’s the exact same feeling when I either take anti depression/anxiety medication and when I take something like acid or mushrooms, it feels like an “overload” of sorts, like there’s too much sensory input and I can “feel” it in my head.
I’m an Ubuntu user, which is built off of Debian, but as most others have said Snaps can be annoying. It also typically uses more resources than Debian (depends if you use the base version or some derivative). My next install will be LMDE (or some other Debian distro) because I prefer starting a little more barebones then getting things just how I like it. Ubuntu is more like Windows where things are nice and convenient OOTB but it’s more of a pain to dial it back. With Debian you’ll need a little extra work to get proprietary drivers installed but it’s nothing that has been done by thousands of others.
If you don’t really want to tinker with the OS and focus more on games and coding (non-OS) then Ubuntu is a safe bet.
For example, a form of letter substitution was made where different squiggle combinations were different letters, made so that a drawing can be drawn and the code could be visible in the lined drawing’s lines, making sure the code was made in such a way that it could be used no matter what was being drawn.
Colors, shapes, sizes, noise, measurements, anything that can be distinguished into forms and types is potentially someone’s communicating.
Oh cool - can you share the name of that work/those works?
I actually meant less “encrypted” artworks, but more “regular” works, where you would wonder the artists intent or try see what feelings the artwork can offer and why it works.
I think it could be interesting to encode messages into the DNA of an ant, for example, then mail the ant somewhere so that the receiver can sequence the DNA and decode the message
That’s been done, though it’s much harder to do on living things because attempting to change the DNA of something that’s still alive opens up a can of worms that makes it not worth it. They’ve once proved you can encode the whole of Wikipedia on a few strands of hair.
