Focused on open-source software and Linux. I engage in ethics of tech and its impact on society. Whether it’s exploring new note-taking apps or advocating for transparency in data collection, my goal is to promote freedom and autonomy.

  • Meditation is about a fundamental shift in the mind. Aim for a transformation, a steadying, a stabilization. Think of it as mental recalibration – a process called samadhi, a perfected state of meditative focus.

    This focus breaks down into two main avenues: Shamatha, the ‘calm-abiding’ meditation, which cultivates stillness, and Vipassana, the analytical meditation, which seeks insight. These aren’t separate practices but tools designed to administer your mental actions. It’s about gaining some control over the internal monologue that insists on narrating your existence.

    The most interesting part is that in the absence of external stimuli, the mind reveals its true nature. Like discovering the map isn’t the territory. It implies that the path to enlightenment isn’t found, but rather emerges when the search itself ceases. Meditating on the state beyond meditation leads to… well, sublime Enlightenment.

    I did this a year ago, and as @[email protected] & @[email protected] mentioned: “if I blurred it, it would stick out” or “one blurred house on a street of unblurred houses probably creates more intrigue”. However, others may have seen my blurred house and applied the same level of privacy. Now the map has four blurred houses, again possibly because I did it first. “When you say, ‘I have nothing to hide,’ you’re saying, ‘I don’t care about this right.’ ”
