Man if I ever get a smartwatch again this is where I’m headed. I love my little Casio’s though.

I hope they make a one or two more options aesthetically. I think their current design is a good design, but really not my personal taste. I’d love to see another option or two as time goes on if its financially feasible for them!

Its not astroturfing, it’s that people have expectations of them beyond just being a browser that let’s you access the web.

Frankly its not that great of a browser (its serviceable. And I use it, or a derivative, pretty much exclusively); generally the reason you use it is because you care about abstract things like not supporting the chromium monopoly, or wanting to pick the project managed with the most care for how it will impact actual humans

And Mozilla has been making kinda crummy choices with respects to those abstract values more and more regularly it feels like 😅

Like I really wanna love and support Mozilla. I’m using their browser cause I think its the best choice by the metrics that are important to me. And more and more I just feel kinda exhausted and kinda frustrated with them 😅

Wow. I watched some in the embeded tweet and that was uhhh… That was hot garbage…

Dont watch the tweet if you don’t want spoilers, there are important story beats included cause they’re scenes with a lot of emotion that the ai dub completely mangles

Highly recommend the show. Content warning for sexual abuse and exploitation though, its a central part of the story and the show is a very difficult watch

That’s fucking rad as hell

Damn, thats a real hot finance tip

HEALTH INSURANCE COMPANIES HATE THIS ONE SIMPLE TRICK! 😱😱😱

There are plenty of Bricklink sellers in these countries who run their Bricklink stores as businesses, and rely on the income to support their livelihoods and families, so this really should’ve been communicated far ahead of time. I can’t imagine how stressful this might be to read for sellers in those countries.

Christ… What a shitty situation

I mean ublock origin seems like a simple answer

Yeah. I feel kinda stale too. 😔

I mean, it’s absolutely a shitpost

I’d not heard of that one, thats super cool!

I think this is my favorite visualization of the size distortion that I’ve seen!

😳

Yeah, there’s no easy way to handle that. I don’t fault her for going in with that conception of ADHD, I think even as a person with ADHD myself I struggle to let myself acknowledge how much more deeply it affects me than “maybe a bit more chaotic or forgetful”.

It is deeply sad to see how much damage it has done to y’alls relationship.

I hope that you will consider therapy for yourselves, and perhaps also couple’s therapy so that, as another commenter suggested, you can at least try to end things amicably and with as much empathy for eachother as possible if things are at their end

Gimp is I think a more challenging comparison to its proprietary counterparts than the others you listed unfortunately, but I appreciate and agree with your sentiment here. Ui/ux is such a big part of where foss creative tools struggle, and while some are better than others, its a difficult thing to improve because there’s a lot less design talent in the foss world than dev talent. And ui design for large creative software is REALLY a hard design challenge, its not as though the design skill involved is trivial

Anyway, I think inkscape no longer opens a blank document anymore, at least with fresh installs. Maybe for older installs it keeps the old behavior? You should be able to switch it to a nice little welcome splash with document templates and recently opened files if you’d like :)

Having read through the thread some more and reflected, I think a huge part of the issue is that people really don’t fully grasp how much of a disability ADHD is. I’m going through process of making peace with a different disability, and if I start seriously dating someone there’s no way someone could miss how big of an impact it would have on the relationship. I’m essentially nocturnal. My living space can’t have any windows. I wouldn’t really be able to sleep in bed with my partner because I sleep at the wrong time. Life with me would be radically different in many ways than with a different partner.

If someone starts dating someone in a wheelchair they intuitively grasp that there will be things that their partner can or can’t do that will change the way the relationship looks.

But ADHD doesn’t really get the same respect as a disability, and I feel like that makes it so easy for it to take both partners way too long to see how grave of an impact it can have.

Research has found that ADHD being untreated can reduce life expectancy by as much as 13 years. It’s absolutely a disability, and it’s easy even for us with ADHD to not really fully appreciate just how much it affects us.

That doesn’t change the fact that it has done damage to your relationship. But I do think it is worth having empathy for yourself. This is such a painful thing for both of you I am sure

Please take care of yourself my friend 🫂 I’m sorry that things are in such a painful place. I hope that there are good things in your future, regardless of what shape they may take.

Happy threadiverse anniversary :)

And also Thanksgiving if you celebrate it ☺️

I use peertube.wtf and have had no issues if thats of help. There’s an artist on peertube who posts his music I’ll see if I can check what instance he’s on…

He’s on communitymedia.video :)

Hope either of these are helpful suggestions :)

I looked up ratpoison cause I couldn’t remember what it was and discovered this absolute wild ride of a use-net post that the rat poison website says inspired its name

John Dyson said:

not most) users. I attain no high in passive smoking, and only feel the anxiety. The very sad thing is to avoid the anxiety, pot users often either seek more pot, alcohol or benzo’s for temporary relief. This is a really silly vicious circle for a little short term relief. Those who think that pot is harmless are diluding themselves or even simply ignorant.

That’s because your not using the Scheme Configurable Window Manager. I found that having the proper WM while toking is extremely important. You need one that absolutely minimizes use of the rodent, and with scwm’s synthetic events, awesome key binding supports and scripting, I have a setup which allows me to do everything without pushing about the cursed rolly thing. Thank you Maciej for thinking about all of us stoners when designing SCWM.

The reason you want to avoid the rodent is that when your coding while chemically modified you will want to minimize any possible distraction or break in concentration. The slightest wavering in your attention will easily explode into a ten minute setback. If you can keep yourself on-track then I find that productivity is greatly increased, and with the properly trained mindset bug density on first pass is usually drastically decreased.

In the past when working with improper window management I have found that reaching for the rodent and lifting my eyes off my FSF emacs block cursor can trigger undesired distractions, particularly when I’m working in non-Lisp dialects (well except for mercury and Pop-11) because any idle brain wave will be spent bitching to yourself silently about the lameness of the artificial language you are forced to be thinking in presently.

It should also be noted that since SCWM is extended thru scheme, you have another advantage. Pot and lame type systems like in C/C++ do not mix. THC and Lisp dialects (or Pop-11, and sometimes mercury) are wonderful combinations provided you don’t mind spending 20% of your time rejoicing in the beauty that is a dynamic language with uniform syntax and a real goddamn macro system.

For the particularly bent crowd, I’d reccomend maybe starting out with a Luca Cardelli paper, followed by a round of OCaml hacking, and if you have another bowl to smoke and an evening to waste, follow it all up dinking around in mercury. This recipe will not result in much working code at the end of the day, but your mind will be glowing. I should warn you that only people with hard-ons for abstract mathematics and mathematical logic will really survive this course without a major headache.

Of course, this should all be done on a Debian Linux box, because you can install all of these languages with a simple apt-get command. With FreeBSD you would have to compile them all, and friggin compiling alien language implementations from France (OCaml) will break your widdle head when stoned. None of the tools I have mentioned so far are BSD licensed, and most are GPLed or Public Domain, and none of them have patents pending (except maybe if you got a fancy bong). When your done, remember, libertarians are people who think they sprung from their own asshole, the free market is a plot to exploit your sorry ass, and all the real elite programmers are wobblies.

PS: Everything but the last paragraph is a troll.

What a fucking journey lmao

Yeah?? Well you have a nice face. Loser.

(If you celebrate it I hope you have a lovely Thanksgiving ❤️)
