I had problems with eye contact for a long time, but for some reason it stopped being a problem arround the age of 15-16 and when I read in a social skills book’s (yes I need manuals for social interactions) that eye contact is important, I started to force my self into eye contact.

Maybe this has also something to do with people telling me that they find my eyes beautiful, but I don’t know

I’m pretty sure the packages are built as unprivileged users in a sandbox, and you can also restrict what users can use certain Nix features.

Are Nix packages sandboxed by default?

Psychologically the carrot is better than the stick, meaning you’ll keep fighting the lock-out mechanism, eventually resenting it and removing it.

The logout mechanism just needs to though me out of my way and take at least 5 minutes (better more) to circumvent, this will probably be enough for me to do the right thing.

Having an alert to remind you that you wanted to stop will be more pursuasive. (I have a “go to bed” alarm with a gentle, gradually increasing volume on my phone)

I tried this for many times, but ended up just dismising the alarms because my will is weak

Can someone say me if I can let it be that way if I’m ok with rebooting for sudo permission changes or if its necessary to fix this?

Would this then apply to all systemd distributions?

I think if the license is revocable, then you never really own even a copy.

I only fully trust licenses that use wording like: "All rights granted under this License are granted for the term of copyright on the Program, and are irrevocable provided the stated conditions are met. " (from GPLv3) “Grant of Copyright License. Subject to the terms and conditions of this License, each Contributor hereby grants to You a perpetual, worldwide, non-exclusive, no-charge, royalty-free, irrevocable copyright license to reproduce, prepare Derivative Works of, publicly display, publicly perform, sublicense, and distribute the Work and such Derivative Works in Source or Object form.” (from ApacheV2)

I tried this with newgrp wheel but still the new user don’t update its privileges

I tried logging in and out multiple times, for the case that user switching doesn’t count as re-login.

I do them with Linux, why is this so hard to understand?

As I only use sudo to update my system, I could use a user that doesn’t has sudo access and set up some a cron job to do updates once a day. And flatpak instalation and updating doesn’t require sudo at all

Not necessary the operating system it self, but the things I do with Linux, like researching stuff, enganging in discussion’s and playing games, are addictive for me

Will it be possible to set multiply block times?

I think if it will take longer then 5 minutes to circumvent it, then I will do the right thing

Is this the Github of it: https://github.com/linux-pam/linux-pam ?

Could I pam_time root or something that has a higher rank and a different password then my main user?

It all depends on how “forced” you want to be.

I would say: It should take at least 3 minutes (better more) to circumvent it.

Generally, in Linux, if you’ve installed it, you have the power to uninstall it. Once your lockout gets put in effect, you can boot from USB, mount the hard drive, modify the files necessary to bypass your lockout, then reboot and proceed as if your lockout didn’t exist.

This sounds like it would take me around 10 minutes, so its enough for me to stop and do what I should be doing instead.

So I can’t stop it or change it because it has a higher rank and a different password then my main user?

I am probably one of the people that need to be forced to socialize because I don’t do it by my self enough

I think schools should give more control to the students about what and how they want to learn, I always hated it that they forced me to learn things I am not interested in and will probably never use in my life
