2·4 months agoHeh that’s a hardware issue.
We are very likely moving to hexbear.chat. federation is turned off until we move. Feel free to register for an account!
Its a matrix server hosted by someone here.
Voyager has been good. They just implemented a custom emoji fix to that ensures emoji are the correct size regardless of their uploaded size.
I’ve been using gsudo for a long time, its a game changer.
2·1 year agoMozilla Relay is also a good option

I know that our library system is time based and will give patrons a limit they can renew. Probably something you can do with a script too. I think their software has a management console so they can remotely terminate the sessions.
I think I’ve read they prefer Liberapay, but I’m not sure exactly.

Home Owners Authority, CW was a TV channel.
It’s not going to be a centralized platform though…
31·2 years agoYou’re welcome comrade! My brain was putting off doing real work at the end of the day, so it was no effort at all 😉. I saw a few sources split those lists in that way so I figured I’d include it. It’s not exhaustive or comprehensive, and I’m not a psychologist, just a guy with ADHD lol, so defer to your licensed practitioner for confirmation.
It’s not considered a spectrum and that’s mostly because, when you get down to brass tacks, we all live within a spectrum of behavior. Instead, ADHD is a comingling of interoperating dysfunctions within specific systems of a person’s brain that relate to how the brain rewards your behaviors (to my understanding anyway). Ultimately, while everyone can experience moments of forgetfulness, inattention, anxiety, or hyperfocus, what matters most is if those things happen at a frequency enough to become a detriment to your everyday life.
ADHD can be broken into 3 types from my understanding:
- Inattentive ADHD (often most diagnosed in girls):
- Trouble paying close attention to details, such as making “careless mistakes” in schoolwork, including missing or inaccurate details in work
- Has difficulty sustaining attention in tasks or play activities, such as staying focused during lectures, in conversations, or reading lengthy items
- Seems not to be listening when spoken to directly and may seem to be daydreaming or not be “in the moment”
- Does not follow through on instructions; has trouble finishing tasks such as schoolwork, chores, or other duties; and may start tasks but lose focus and get sidetracked
- Often has difficulty with organization, such as managing tasks and keeping work or home spaces neat, as well as problems with time management and missing deadlines
- Avoids, dislikes, or is reluctant to engage in tasks that require sustained mental effort, such as schoolwork or homework, preparing reports, and filling out forms
- Loses items they need for tasks or activities, such as pencils, books, tools, glasses, and keys
- Easily distracted by things around them or by unrelated thoughts
- Forgetful in daily activities and may forget to do chores and errands, return phone calls, pay bills, or keep appointments
- Hyperactive/Impulsive ADHD (often most diagnosed in boys):
- Experiencing extreme restlessness, difficulty sitting still for extended periods, and/or wearing others out with one’s activity
- Fidgeting with or tapping hands or feet or squirming in the seat
- Being unable to engage quietly in leisure activities
- Talking excessively
- Answering questions before they are asked completely
- Having difficulty waiting for one’s turn, such as when waiting in line
- Interrupting or intruding on others
- Combination ADHD (skewed more to boys than girls): This is, as the name suggests, a combination of the two above, where no one of the trait groups is dominant but collectively is still impacting the patients day to day life.
I definitely suffer from a combination of both. I have intense moments of hyperactivity, and I can be easily wound up into an excited state (It’s like an energy feedback loop), but I’m constantly misplacing things, and I’m awful at future sights and sensing the passage of time. I’m very fidgety and can talk excessively, I have to bite my tongue to not interrupt people if I think I know where their question is going. I have reminders for all kinds of daily and weekly tasks to ensure I never forget them. I have a whiteboard in a prominent place where we can place future events so I can mentally prepare for them. Finishing tasks is super hard, once I get through the “interesting” guts of a project, all the “finishing touches” that make it “done” are boring and a real grind to do. Reading is still a very hard task for me, if I’m not medicated it’s almost impossible for me to get through several pages of a book at a time.
Maybe you know all this already, maybe not. For a long time, it was very rare for girls to get an ADHD diagnosis because of how it presents for girls. But this is the first step in understanding how the adhd mind works, which allows you to build around it so you can midgate the bad parts and harness the good parts.

21·2 years agoRight? And who do you think asked them to put it in there?
Now we understand what the “National Security Threat” was all this time, not that it wasn’t painfully obvious from the jump. Every other major social media platform is in bed with the Feds, giving them access to whatever they wish at a moment’s notice. The “threat” to the nation isn’t foreign influence it’s domestic influence. If they can’t have backend access to the system to monitor these domestic threats, then the whole system is a threat. If you are using TikTok as a means of ORGANIZING then you are a THREAT to the NATIONAL SECURITY because the Feds can’t WATCH YOU LIKE A HAWK.
At one point, TikTok reportedly altered language that would have allowed government officials to demand changes to the apps recommendations algorithm if it promoted content the agencies disagreed with.
But but but… MUH FREEZ PEACH!
I feel you. I’ve been officially diagnosed with ADHD for maybe 10 years now, but only recently learned that having ADHD is explicitly covered under the ADA. It’s one of the main reasons why it’s still called ADHD even though Attention Deficit Hyperactivity isn’t an accurate description of the actual underlying mechanics of the disorder (and disorder is also contested because often there as just as many positive traits as there are negative traits in people with ADHD). If anyone wants to read more opinions on the naming of ADHD, I found these two articles just now that are pretty informative:
FREE EBOOK: The Worldview and Philosophical Methodology of Marxism-Leninism
This book is so foundational, I think it really should be required reading for any budding comrade. I’ve read this book once before, and would totally read it again. It does such an excellent job laying out the bedrock that is Dialectical Materialism and the Dialectic Materialist World View. This book synthesizes the philosophical concepts laid out across multiple texts by Lenin, Marx, and Engels into one body of work. Best of all, the PDF is free. This year Luna and her team should be releasing Part 2: Historical Dialectical Materialism, which I’m very excited for.
The only critique I have of this book is the incredibly long and cumbersome title, ha!
"Curriculum of the Basic Principles of Marxism-Leninism, Part 1: The Worldview and Philosophical Methodology of Marxism-Leninism "
What a mouthful.
