For me I distract myself just enough to be entertained but not enough to lose myself. At work this involves finding relevant gifs and posting them in chat. I can go back and review the gifs and remember practically everything. If main chat doesn’t work, I pick a coworker to send them to. Works well for me. School? Pretty hopeless. I have a hard time retaining but luckily at this point must stuff is recorded for my school.

100% this. I found the book “The Gifts of Imperfection” by Brene Brown to be very helpful with mentally working through this. I still feel guilt occasionally but knowing that I am the way I am and that guilt does not provide a productive resolution to the “problem” typically is enough to pull me through.

As if 2/3 of adults aren’t lactose intolerant lol.

I believe it is a peanut butter alternative.

Thank you for pointing this out! I was using Memmy because it was first on the App Store but have since switched back to Mlem (which I did beta for). It is a hell of a lot more fresh on features!

After having a terrible experience with an Onyx Boox Palma breaking within 24 hours of receipt…I’m glad I rage bought a Kobo Libra Colour lol.

itchick2014,

I’m really pleased with mine. I figured out if you use nickelmenu it is possible to have the games too! That is the only way I have found to access them. For some reason Kobo isn’t making them accessible even with devmodeon enabled.

I upgraded from an Aura H20 Edition 2 so I notice a distinct upgrade in speed and function. I hope you like yours as much as I like mine!

I am an IT nerd so I use Linux to learn more about the OS and programming. This was the original reason and still is the reason I keep a Linux machine on hand. Current machine is a dual-boot LG Gram running Windows 11 (wanted to keep the original OS so just shrunk it) and Arch Linux. It runs on Arch 90% of the time. Really only boot the windows partition to use it for work.

Looks like clock solitaire. thesprucecrafts.com/clock-solitaire-rules-412468

itchick2014,

I’m not certain they are referring to the game of patience (typically Klondike) or the fact that clock solitaire is rough statistically…1% win rate.

What're some of the dumbest things you've done to yourself in Linux?

I’m working on a some materials for a class wherein I’ll be teaching some young, wide-eyed Windows nerds about Linux and we’re including a section we’re calling “foot guns”. Basically it’s ways you might shoot yourself in the foot while meddling with your newfound Linux powers....

itchick2014,

My first experience with installing Linux on a hard drive involved wiping the wrong hard drive (my dad’s) and installing on it. Then panicking when Windows 95 didn’t boot up. Thank goodness my dad was understanding lol.

itchick2014,

I purchased the bundle and so far have been playing Spring Falls, Pixross, Beglitched, and Shutter Stroll. I am enjoying all of those.

To me, brain fog feels like my thoughts are swimming in the subconscious ocean and it takes a lot of energy to dive down and actually comprehend them. It isn’t that the thoughts do not exit, but rather that they are outside of reach of use until significant mental effort is undergone to reach them. Using those thoughts for any purpose then requires even more mental energy…energy that feels like the mental equivalent of walking up the stairs…it seems easy for the first few steps but progressively gets harder until at some point, if you haven’t used the thoughts yet, you just give up out of sheer exhaustion.

itchick2014,

Thanks for this. Added to book to my to read list. I have unmedicated ADHD (cannot tolerate meds for it) and this resonated with me. It is also a good reminder that even people that seem like they are intentionally not doing the work or task at hand might have some reasoning behind not doing it! It is easy to forget sometimes that I am not alone in my struggles and other reasons for being “lazy” exist.

itchick2014,

You are bringing back bad retail days memories lol

itchick2014,

The fact that the hacker said “thank you, take care” is just hilarious to me.

Chevy currently has 8 models of SUV/crossovers in the US. Bolt, Trax, Trailblazer, Equinox, Blazer, Traverse, Tahoe, and Suburban. That is the closest I can think of.

itchick2014,

Yeah I think it is the EUV that is considered a crossover.

itchick2014,

A lot of what the person interviewed is saying is very tone deaf. Not everyone has the problem of not being “right sized” in how they live…a lot of folks are barely scraping by and have no other option but to tap into retirement to do things like…pay medical bills, not lose their dwelling, or simply make it through a hard time. Are there folks living above their means? Sure! But I would say the vast amount of people cashing in retirement funds early are not those people.

I once had a loaner from a dealer that was a Dodge Caliber. Ugly as sin and the transmission was definitely on its way out. That car was just a struggle. It was a reminder why I will never buy a Chrysler product.

itchick2014,

This was an unofficial loaner that was for sale as a used car by the dealer…so they were actively trying to sell it.

From SLR to DSLR. Advice?

Hello! I recently got into photography, and purchased a Minolta x700, with several MD lenses. I’m very happy with it, but I didn’t realize how expensive film photography can be. I am considering to switching to DSLR once I develop my skills, and I was wondering what some good options are for entry level DSLR cameras would...

itchick2014,

If you are ok with using adapters and using manual capabilities on the lenses…there are adapter rings that can adapt the lenses to almost any camera. I did that starting off as a way to save money.

itchick2014,

While this is true…ADHD tends to override what logic deems true. The emotional regulation just isn’t there enough to be peachy and positive all the time especially when our society values productivity, reliability, timeliness, and organization…which are difficult for those with ADHD. The guilt is so strong that sometimes it is debilitating. While your intent may be to be kind and helpful…in this community it reads as a bit insensitive.

itchick2014,

Those look sick. I haven’t delved much into patching but the black system iii looks like a ton of fun. Haven’t seen the MEGAfm. How would you describe it?
