Facts right there

Holy crap that’s relatable

I’m inattentive type ADHD so maybe that was a contributing factor to why my parents felt they way they did about it

They generally take mental health seriously but for somethings they’re pretty damn backwards on

I feel this comment.

One problem I had though was that some of my teachers were like, “I think he should be tested for ADHD and/or autism,” and my parents going on a tirade about it not being real or some shit.

Of course I only found that out after I got diagnosed with ADHD (still haven’t got the courage to ask my doc about autism though) and told my parents therefore triggering they’re tirade aimed at me where they mentioned my teachers talking about it pretty consistently in school.

Would have loved getting that diagnosis when I was younger than 29.

I would have loved to get my diagnosis and start taking meds before I dropped out of college twice. Would have saved a lot of pain and money.

I got diagnosed at 29.

My life has gotten so much fuckin better since it’s amazing.

Oh yeah the “go for x, break for y, then go again” thing never works for me unless it’s go for hours with headphones on, then break in a specific manner for 10-15 minutes, then go again. Then maybe I’ll be able to finish properly.

It shouldn’t feel like we have to fight our brains to get shit done but I swear half the time it feels like I have to enter the Goddamned Konami Code just to get my shit done lol.

I find that breaking my tasks into much smaller little tasks helps a lot. That way instead of failing to do one task I’m failing to do 50… wait.

Joking aside breaking the tasks apart helps me a lot. It’s not “I need to clean my apartment,” it’s, “I need to clean my living room, bedroom, and dining room.” And even that more task heavy list gets broken down a lot where basically each room becomes zones.

I might not finish the living room today but cleaning that end table will be something I can revel in finishing.

For me it also helps me practicing point-and-call for the tasks I need to do. It helps lowering my chance of getting distracted while I’m doing something and also helps prevent mistakes on more complicated tasks.

But the local humans call me Phil the Drunkard

My 2am goblin mode basically means the sandwich ain’t getting made

I’m just going to shovel some cheese in my mouth, eat a slice of bread, and drink some water.

Or better eat leftovers right out of the fridge

Edit: Cold pizza just hits different at 2am

Specific instances are hard to find which is usually why I flex the block tool a lot around here. Blocking them when they start spewing their bullshit.

I can’t think of any off the top of my head but I’d check the federated list of instances for some of the instances you see with large queer communities (like the one I’m posting from now) to get a general idea as us queer folk get hella targeted by conservatives online.

It’s pretty chill in general and is well moderated

It’s has the occasional instability day here and there but it gets sorted out pretty quick

They don’t federate down votes and you can’t give them out which IMO isn’t the best

But I’d say it’s a nice place overall

Sounds like you picked the wrong instance for an alt account

I’d say if you pick one that isn’t federated with Hexbear, some specific domains ending in .ml, and some of the other conservative ones you’ll have a far better time around the fediverse.

Also don’t be afraid to block people

Because of it being so closed off I’ve hopped instances

And honestly I’m probably going to hop again because having down votes disabled isn’t very good IMO

Edit: 1 big thing though that I wish existed Lemmy wide would be if you have a comment or post removed (hell even bans) you get a message to your inbox. As it currently stands it just happens and unless you check mod logs you’ll never know.

Especially stuff that’s really important

Edit: or is that just me? Though it has gotten easier since getting a diagnosis and developing strategies to deal with my ADHD.

Lychee Slicer (slicer used for resin printing) is usually pretty good but sometimes it’ll still fail

Which basically means I’d have 2 choices, go in there manually with Blender or fire up Windows 3D Builder and let it work it’s magic

I haven’t fully given up on trying to find a way to get it to work on Linux but I’ve had to take a break from trying purely due to frustration

I didn’t know about the 16-bit support, which is really cool to say the least

I see myself as still somewhat of a noob to Linux

And sometimes the Windows only software is more “Windows only” and works with Wine

Windows 3D Builder though is firmly in the Windows Only category though. Which is a bummer because in my experience it’s the best at repairing 3D models for 3D printing that have errors like holes, redundant geometry, inverted faces, etc.

If memory serves it costs them something like $10k per year 4 years ago for the Adobe suite.

Link to the vid where they talk about it

Short sighted LTT video?

Checks out

Seriously though transitioning your team to a new software suite will suck at first but it’s worth it in the long run. Long term gains vs short term gains and all that.

I like owning my shit and want to keep owning my shit

I see GIMP and Krita in my near future

Well shit

It was only a matter of time given current trends
