I like to deal in absolutes when it comes to not psyching myself out from doing things. It very much is a mind game and also could be me coping with my social anxiety. If you’re able to medicate your ADHD take some time while you’re on your meds to make definitive plans (where you’re going and what time). It has helped me tremendously.

Just today I said I was going to go to a few select places with a definitive start and end point. I did have to remove some places cause I ended up having conversations with people that kept me somewhere longer than expected, but that's a good reason to not follow through on my general plans.

I’ve heard anecdotal evidence that the anti-malaria medication the US military uses that cause people to have recurring nightmares. If you’re taking a medicine that is supposed to effect the brain I don’t see any reason why it couldn’t effect your dreams.

Ah that would explain why I didn’t know. I have next to no experience with Apple devices.

Well it does depend on your exact use case, but using a proper database is usually the better option for production. Now if this is just some little service you made for yourself use whatever you want.

Wait is APFS a new file system than NTFS? Guess I’m too busy on my Tiktoks and Nintendos to keep up to date

Sounds like a low quality one then. I’ve had zero issues with mine at home and work (used them for years), so I’m adding this brand to my avoid list.

What distro of Linux did you install on the laptop? I’ve had no luck getting wine to work on Fedora, but my desktop is running Bazzite which is based on the steam deck OS and I’m games run great (sometimes with tweaking required).

I’m ignoring you’re requirements and am gonna suggest you use GIMP instead. In all seriousness, you may want to look into a dual boot situation where you have Windows in a partition just big enough to do all the work you need to do. You could also look at VMs, but I’m not sure how well they would play with something that is resource hungry like Adobe products.

And I have learned that those are just KDE’s default wallpapers. I assumed that the background was provided by the distro not the DE.

I only down voted your original comment to help you with your penance. I hope you understand.

I’m assuming they’re oversimplifying the unit of maH to just hours, but who knows without a sheet of the specs of one of these batteries.

For gaming tasks there’s loads of options though. If you don’t want to swap OSes you have Steam’s Proton and Codeweaver’s Crossover that do most of the complex stuff for you. For the stuff you have to deal with I’ve been able to tweak it all from GUIs instead of needing to edit a file somewhere. Gaming on Linux has come a long way, and I’ve even switched off of Windows fully I’m that confident in it. Still have to do more tweaking than Windows, but it’s no where near as bad as it was.

I wouldn’t say that data is definitive proof. The table is missing ages from 30-under 65 from the table (at least if you’re not logged in, if there is a more complete table please share). Also not sure how good some of the questions are for determining tech literacy. Knowing that Elon Musk ran both Tesla and Twitter in April 2023 is more if you keep up with the news rather than knowing how to work a computer. Other ones are good like being able to identify 2FA or knowing what LLM/AI is capable of.

Also sounds like your software architecture may be too tightly coupled. If you are creating code that consumes input from the other team, the other team should only need to know what the expected inputs and outputs are. If they’re going in and making changes to your code then you guys need to merge teams or implement a review process (like pull requests in GitHub).

Cat birthdays are also good excuses to cook yourself a nice salmon steak and one for the cat of course. I recommend a neutral oil and only salt it (pepper can be an irritant to some cats). Although feel free to do whatever to yours.

Yeah knowing when you’re going to be out of a job years in advanced would be so much better than this. You can at least plan around it if you know for sure this job is temporary.

Did you try throwing it in the oven at it’s highest possible temperature? Gotta reflow that solder and the board will magically come back together in one piece!

Why not make a group with the good players?

On top of that board game shops tend to do game nights, and probably have a system for putting together groups.

It’s almost like there’s more acceptance that mental health is real health, but no it’s the evil checks notes sunscreen that’s making me sad. Not the existential nightmare that life currently is, not the constant feed of negative news that’s coming from the computer that is basically another appendage. Correlation != Causation. Could it be a contributing factor? Yeah probably, feeling the sun on your face does lift my mood, but I can point to countless other causes that are way more relevant. If you really want to figure out the causes, go see a therapist, they’re great at helping out your feelings into words you can actually act upon. When if you don’t have anything you’re trying to figure out about yourself, go see a therapist, it’s like getting a yearly physical just check in to make sure there’s nothing wrong.
