I do this all the time, although admittedly not when speaking to others... It's useful for problem-solving if one gets stuck, a little while of no thinking clears the board and allows thoughts to again wander new paths. It's also useful for preventing headaches from muscle tension!
When I was using Mastodon, the local timeline was almost exclusively what I was paying attention to. It was a really nice small community of people.
This is easy though. The amount of times I've kicked my toe into something on the way to the kitchen and ended up in 12th plane of torment is innumerable.
Is this how cyborgs are made?
One thing that might not be obvious is that the All feed is different too, as it only shows posts from communities someone on the instance has subscribed to. But since there are ways to search communities across instances, it isn't really a big deal. Unless you're on an instance of one or two people maybe.
Federation and moderation are probably where the instance matters most. Also, the matter of who runs the instance is kind of important considering stability and longevity of the instance. (mine for example will probably be gone within a month once I break something)
The package managers are actually a huge upgrade, at least in my opinion. I was always annoyed having to hunt for the right site for the right installer, now I can just search and install with a command without even opening a browser. But the biggest benefit is the updating. One command to update everything is so handy, one command and all my applications and drivers are updated just like that. But there is the issue of many programs simply not supporting Linux. For those you'll sadly have to find replacements or workarounds.
If you want to get rid of Grub instead of what others have suggested, you could try booting into Windows and look for "advanced startup" and do a startup repair from there. That might destroy Grub and replace it with Windows bootloader again. If it works, your Linux stuff will remain on the drive, but Windows will boot like before. (you can easily reformat the HDD drive from Windows afterwards to use it for storage)
Some of my personal tips for moving to Linux:
Oh definitely! They didn't really have any direction for story early on, but with Mahjarrat storylines that began to change. Then they began to weave all the different stories together into a coherent world with surprising success.
I'd say in 2011-2013 the story really started to kick off. Gods for example were turned from simple good-evil entities into actually interesting characters representing different ideologies and philosophies.
Unlike some other MMOs, RS doesn't have voice acting (for the most part), which allows them to write a lot more dialogue. For example Azzanadra's Quest alone has ~25 000 words of dialogue. You can probably imagine how much lore a 20-year-old game like that can contain!
My useless skill is being a RuneScape lore repository. There's very little that I don't know about that subject.
This was one of those rare times when a meme full of text was actually enjoyable!
Probably belongs to the Long Long Man.
My cats are always sleepy. Except when I'm sleeping, that's the time for a race around the house.
Those really are a game changer. It has made me join the club of weirdos who have countless of tabs open.
