...i have no idea what that means

Hmm:

#

Aquinas (1225 or '27-1274)

# All life has a purpose

# Meeting this purpose allows one to be happy.

# Happiness is to be found in the love of God.

# God's grace providing entrance into heaven creates the highest form of human happiness.

# Short of heaven, a person can achieve a more limited form of happiness through a life of virtue and friendship.

# Morality is not determined by the arbitrary will of God.

# Morality is derived from human nature and the activities that are objectively suited to it.

# The difference between right and wrong can be appreciated through the use of reason and reflection.

# Religious reflection may supplement the use of reason and reflection to determine right from wrong.

# Societies must enact laws to ensure the correct application of moral reasoning.

# Human nature is good because God made it good.

#

Augustine (354-430)

# Happiness is a union of the soul with God after one has died

# Bodily pleasures are relatively inferior to spiritual pleasures.

# Philosophical reasoning is not the path to wisdom and happiness.

# A love of God and faith in Jesus is the only path to happiness.

# God is the one to allow people to practice the love of God.

# One must love God in order to fulfill moral law.

# People are inherently evil; only the grace of God (or is it merit to be saved?) can save them.

I dont believe all this bull****

Stoicism

# The common capacity to reason allows all humans to achieve virtue and wisdom.

# The external circumstances of a person's life are irrelevant.

# One can achieve virtue by becoming indifferent to external differences.

# Passions must be rejected all together in deciding what is good and what is bad.

# Reason alone must be used in deciding what is good and what is bad.

# The common ability of humans to reason is why ethical relativism should be rejected.

    • Linux 7.1 arrives with an NTFS overhaul and major hardware performance boosts by Paul Hill The founder of the Linux kernel has just announced the availability of Linux 7.1. This is a stable version of the kernel that will now be tested by various Linux distributions before it is shipped to users through update managers. Some users, like those on Debian, for example, might not get it for a long time, if at all, while Fedora users can expect it in the near future. With Linux 7.1 out on time, the merge window for Linux 7.2 is now open, giving contributors the opportunity to send in major new features that have been waiting for the last two months. Torvalds warned that he is currently travelling and will be in another timezone, so timing for the merge window may be irregular due to timezone differences and limited internet access. Torvalds said that he has already fetched early pull requests to allow him to do some offline work, but the travel could still cause disruption. Right now, he is not planning to extend the release, but did consider it. He said he might later regret not extending, though. In terms of this last week of development for Linux 7.1, Torvalds said there were no major or alarming changes. This week consisted mostly of smaller driver updates to GPU, networking, and sound, networking fixes, trace tooling fixes, and misc minor fixes. The shortlog this week lists fixes for driver bugs, memory leaks, I/O and USB fixes, networking and RDMA fixes, DRM/graphics fixes, and tooling and verification improvements. Specific fixes include USB series heap-overflow and buffer overflow fixes, and multiple use-after-free, memory-leak, and refcount corrections across subsystems such as i2c, zram, gpio, and net. There are fixes for graphics drivers, including amdgpu, i915, and virtio, as well as hypervisor and virtualization tweaks affecting mshv, vmbus, and hyperv. According to Phoronix, anyone running Linux 7.1 should look out for the new NTFS driver, Intel FRED for improved performance on Panther Lake and future CPUs, faster graphics with Intel Arc Battlemage, and improvements for older AMD Radeon GPUs. If you are running Linux on your computer and everything is fine, then you don’t need to worry about updating to Linux 7.1 as a priority; just wait for it to be pushed to you. If you have tried Linux on hardware but it didn’t work properly, trying again with a distro that uses Linux 7.1 could cause Linux to work on your machine, thanks to the new hardware support.
    • you can also do this with this tool: PowerSettingsExplorer made by mbk1969 at 3dguru forum.. I found it by accident researching on modern standby and annoying quirks of it in 2022
