@nickbearded extremely strong psychoactive drugs can both help and hinder too - they are always an option

@gary_alderson You're absolutely right, altered states of consciousness might be the only way to truly understand X configs. I’ll keep that option in my toolbox, right next to nano and blind hope 😆

@nickbearded the drugs work even though it is an unpopular opinion

@gary_alderson I am having the third pint right now btw ☺️ cheers 🍻

@nickbearded see - but definite caveats apply of course, getting a wee bit twisted now and again helps with outlook and flexibility, knowing your boundaries; straightedge has its advantages too. the desktop is really just a means to the end - they vary and sometimes using a heavier more feature packed, polished desktop makes sense. optimization is a moving target
