Uhuh, for work we love raspberry PIs as they're small enough to stick behind a wall mounted TV and good enough to run our display apps. All for the low price of £80~. I'd love it if you have viable alternatives.

Did you not look at the comments on that lemmy post? Dalimey was the top comment

Oh I've meditated many times, including guided meditation with a professional a few times. So while I'm far from an expert, I'd consider myself familiar enough to have reasonable expectations and be able to make comparisons to other meditation tracks. To clarify, I wasn't saying I'm unsuited to meditation, simply unsuited to that specific tape and presumably the tapes that follow. Although I suppose I've never found meditation to be particularly useful anyway apart from for relaxation.

It's because meditating doesn't give you an immediate dopamine hit

Just went and tried the Orientation tape. It's quite nice for relaxing I suppose, but I struggled a lot with both the visualisation and the "hypnosis", also the long silences were tedious. I have aphantasia and I've found hypnotism doesn't work at all for me before in the past, so perhaps I'm simply unsuited for this.

Looks great, it'll outgrow that in no time. I'm not sure if that's good or bad
