Does anyone else feel like it's really weird to be right here in the moment?

It feels so strange. I am right here in time. Not in the past, when I screwed up some stuff. Not in the future when I'll be living somehow, whether like a good adult or somehow else. It just feels strange to be so aware of it. So aware of the moment, of the fact that I am currently typing stuff into a textbox on a website, hoping someone else relates to this feeling.

Article: No coronavirus cases from community transmission in two weeks, NSW Health confirm
Context:
New South Wales has recorded 31 new coronavirus cases in the past 2 weeks, but all these new cases have been in returned international travellers. Returned international travellers are forced to spend 14 days in quarantine (in 5-star hotel rooms) before being let loose on the Australian populace. So, these cases are not contributing to the pandemic in Australia's population.
New South Wales, the most populous state in Australia, has achieved zero community transmission. Most other states and territories have already achieved this, or are very close to achieving it.
The worst state in Australia for community transmission is Victoria, which has 1 or 2 cases of community transmission turn up every couple of days.
On another note, there are reportedly 432 active cases of coronavirus infections across Australia (or 450, depending on the source). However, that number of active cases exceeds the total number of new infections recorded across the country for the past month. I believe it's likely that some health departments (notably NSW's) are failing to follow up recovered cases, so that recoveries are understated and active cases are overstated.
Elimination of the coronavirus in Australia was tantalisingly close leading up to the protests last weekend. We're still waiting to see the outcome of those.
Fingers crossed!

I'm an amateur musician and amateur audio editor and creator. (I noticed the ~creative category isn't that active, and) I was wondering if there were any Tilders who make music with Linux. Activities such as:
- recording instruments or vocals
- producing music digitally
- composing and using score writing software
- editing and mixing audio
I'm interested to learn more and improve my craft(s), so perhaps people could share their go-to apps or hardware, and tips for beginners, like how best to configure Linux for audio work (minimize latency, etc.). I'd be interested in any finished (or unfinished!) works produced with Linux that anyone would want to share.
I mainly use ardour for audio production, including MIDI. I use Musescore for making scores / sheet music. I occasionally use command line tools like exiftool and ffmpeg. I've dabbled with LMMS, and have outgrown Audacity.

When it's time to put your dog down?

She is a mixed breed (more pinscher) and is perhaps 16 or 17 years old.
She simply doesn't eat anymore. She went to the vet when this started and they found nothing. Gave her some appetite injection, she would eat for two days and stop. Went again and same thing.
I changed vets and he did blood work and everything was fine. He examined her throat with his hands because he didn't want to anesthetize a senior dog for a scan. He discovered a throat and ear infection. Treated and she started eating again, but only for a few weeks. She never gained her weight back.
Now she is only losing weight and not eating, it's been five days since she last eat something.
She sleeps almost all the time and is so thin and her back is so curved that when she drops her head to drink water her rear legs go up and she falls. We had to put the food and water up so she doesn't have any accidents.
She is so frail it's breaking my heart. I'm so afraid.
Update in the comments below, but I'm going to put it here too
Updating here: it happened today.
She got a little better and we didn't had the courage to do it when I made this thread. She was eating better.
But now she started having difficulties lying down and standing up. She would fall, couldn't lie down by herself. I had to help her.
This night her bed was a little wet and I figured she might have pissed while lying down.
Talked to the vet and she is gone forever.
But I didn't had the courage to watch and be with her during the procedure. I am dying inside because of this. I loved her so much, she was with us for almost 18 years...
I will never see her again.
Thanks for everything Meg and sorry for letting you down.
