Marginalia isn’t a daily driver search engine, but it specifically gets you obscure results. Pretty nifty side-engine to have.

I have WhatsApp from Aurora store on grapheneOS and occasionally get what you’re describing, but it’s not constant.

Can we make an exception for Vermin Supreme

It’s not a universal rule at all. I know people who are very ADHD who if they drink coffee they have a panic attack. I know people who it makes tired, and I know people who it makes productive. Personally it makes me more talkative.

Basically, it’s not a criteria for diagnosis at all. Everyone’s brain chemistry is different. There might be a higher percentage of people with ADHD whom caffeine does not affect compared to the general population, but that does not at all mean that to be ADHD you have to have that same thing.

What do you mean? Testosterone is a controlled substance.

Interesting. I’m usually wired in the morning, crash late afternoon/evening, and then get wired again at around 11pm.

Straterra didn’t do shit other than make my libido nonexistent. Ritalin has worked well for me. I know people who felt like they were in hell while on Ritalin. A lot of it is trial and error since all bodies process them differently.

I will say, there are genetic tests you can take to see which medications are tolerated well by your body. I took one and surprise surprise, I had the markers for straterra not being well tolerated. Also if you have other family members who have ADHD and are on medication it’s a good idea to ask them since your genetics will be somewhat similar.

Yup. I’ve had the same issue with invidious. Hope it’ll get fixed soon. Freetube works for now.

Interestingly enough I tried whatismyip on both my main and secondary profile and they both showed the same IP and location

I’ve only got about a month left that I have to use it. Would prefer to use a separate profile as opposed to a web browser so I wouldn’t have to sign in all of the time + get flagged as a bot because of my VPN. I have tried webapp sandboxing but it hardly worked and broke most things.

I have an old-ish dumb TV. Just look around on something like Craigslist and you’ve got a good chance of finding one

I have heard mixed things about instander

I have gotten some people on signal but I will have to wait to try and get more on it. I’ve also heard that there’s privacy issues with signal but even if the allegations are true it’s a big step up from Instagram. I’m hoping to mainly use signal and my self-hosted matrix server in the future.

None of my matrix friends are on Instagram and vice versa

People are important. It’s necessary for mental health to balance privacy and being able to have a life.

I think I can get them to switch when I leave Instagram, which is why I said I’ve only got to keep using it for a set amount of time. The issue is really that these are aquantinces that will become friends once I move and get to hang out with them IRL.

I see what you’re saying now. In settings it only has network and photo permissions (with photos being limited access). Is there a way it can get that permission outside of the permissions list in settings?

I might just have to do this, although having a VPN and accessing it on desktop might flag my account and/or lock it. Would having Instagram on my old phone and taking it off my current one help?

Facebook is pretty strict with their account creation stuff compared to Instagram. On Instagram it’s easy to make a bunch of alts and keep them. I tried to make an account on Facebook to access marketplace a long time ago and it got banned and they wanted my real name and ID to access the account.

I’m planning on self hosting a matrix server in the future, but it’ll be a couple of months before I can sit down and work on that.
