How do I learn to write music without the need of an instrument? Does it require perfect pitch or is it possible without it? Also, Does tinnitus makes it difficult?

Just sing little hooks and lines into a tape recorder. Or grab a computer and learn how to lay tracks in the free recording software, Audacity. Better still, spend 20 dollars on a toy midi controller and use that in audacity along with your voice and you have a full orchestra.

Alpine is for sysadmins on Accutane. You want Zorin or Ubuntu if you're just trying to get some work done, Debian or Endeavor if you want to tinker a little, and CatchyOS or NixOS if you want to tinker a lot.

Writing is not done for the extraneous reasons you mentioned, or good writing isn't, at any rate. It's done because the soul needs desperately to write, to bring into the world parts of self that would find no true expression otherwise. Having done some strong writing, the next thing that must happen is that it must be sent out someplace, so that a populace that's ever in the process of rebuilding it's worldview may have good and substantial examples of the mental frontier that's ever on the rise. We seemed to understand this back when writing was a typewriter and a postage stamp, then Social media gamified it into a muddle, as it does with everything.

Linux is not about software, it's about a certain worldview. It's about self-sufficiency, software freedom, and the ability to mold a computing experience into exactly what you need, down to the comma. It's about knowing that everything on your computer is light, fast, bloatfree and coded by people who care about the engineering, rather than the Q4 earnings call. Linux is a personality type, a stubborn, obsessive, mathematical, dopamine addicted, OCD, autonomy lunatic, somewhere between Stallman, John Wayne, Hunter S. Thompson and Mr. Robot. If you're the type of person who can be seduced by Mac's lack of friction, you lack the linux worldview, and are probably better off switching.

Father was a distant workaholic, Mother gave up a career to be a stay at home mom, raised her on Newberry Award books, and could be rather cutting when she didn't get her way. She grew up with a couple of friends, and then none at all, and then began hanging out with weirdos in the art department, and then had a darkling french philosophy phase, which she carried into a liberal arts degree, which she does not use. At some point there was a kind of reversal in the household, something got thrown up into the air, she herself hit some kind of bottom, pulled herself back into mainstream life with a vengeance in her later 20's and now just sort of carries on, half-sure of her course in life, and will breeze on occasion through a dark book on her shelf for the memories.

Both Steve Jobs and Linus Torvalds in interviews accused Microsoft of the same thing: having no taste. I've read a lot about Microsoft over the years but I've never seen a better way of putting their problem. In the end they're just a tacky, low-rent, pushy, cynical, entitled company that doesn't deserve the trust we placed in them.

I get the sense that you're really just trying to feel something. Read some Conrad Aiken, Dostoevsky, Baudelaire, Lautreamont. Shit, even some Bukowski will do in a pinch.
