You’ve probably hit upon a good metaphor for what’s happening.
I believe each time we sleep parts of our personalities are torn down and rebuilt slightly differently.
Whatever the mechanism, you aren’t really the same person you were years ago, you’re a different person with many of the same memories. The “self” is a useful simplification of reality. At the fundamental level, its not possible to define “you” and “not you” at a moment in time, much less across spans of time.

Good article, but I’d guess the reality is more like 25-50x as much work as non-technical people assume, and a good interface takes about 5x the work of everything else.

They don’t merely underestimate the non-interface work, they greatly underestimate the interface work as well.

“git merge” is for more than merging with the base branch.

Cross of Iron. Peckinpah really knows how to end a movie.

Consecration was good. A low budget religious horror with some new ideas.

I was downgrading from Debian Sid to Bookworm. Boot failed. Ran the live cd in rescue mode. I’d uninstalled the kernel. Took only a couple of minutes to fix.

How many close calls with a shark have you had? Like one, maybe? You should be thanking this mama.

Mom: I told you 20 minutes a go to get down here. You: It’s the same match. Mom: The matches have a time limit of 5 minutes.

The comments read like you banned the dev for making a telling point in favor of reopening the ticket.

The lesson I take away is that your ego is more important to you than improving Lemmy.
