Finger guns honestly rock no matter the context so I’m into it

Neat idea, or, you could just tell them directly and be like “hey I’m not gonna respond here due to [reasons], come find me on signal if ya wanna chat”

People are usually more engaged when you communicate to them directly

Nah, its been becoming more popular, at least in my circles.

Someone feel free to jump in and audit my take:

The Internet Archive is not a company, does not sell me anything, and is merely providing a public service.

The service has nothing to do with my health or wellbeing. It is not marketed as being privacy forward. Hell, the whole purpose of the project is to make data publically accessable.

Therefore, exposing email addresses… I kinda don’t care?

Of course, it would be way better if they just used generic login numbers etc instead, but… I feel like this is the equivalent of my library card number getting leaked, and these headlines are treating it like Equifax just leaked my SSN again.

Matrix does not have seamless desktop sharing or voice chat, and has a drastically higher executive cost. It also does not solve the information silo issue.

The fediverse as a whole is promising but likely needs to mature a bit longer. Theres a lot of potential issues that have yet to be worked through.

Yeah, this is a big part of why I stopped using discord recently. Not yet sure of any alternatives but leaving is step one.

Kill your lawn. Replace it with native flora.

Oh, I need this thread. I’ve been all over the place ever since Mint shut down.

I’ve been trying to find a more privacy-friendy alternative to Discord but I keep coming back to the issue of screen sharing. No other platform does it as smoothly.

The best I’ve found is using Parsec with some virtual audio cables to avoid voice feedback.

If at any point I buy a car and it begins showing me ads I will promptly return it to the dealership… at 55mph.

More realistically I’ll probably just continue to drive my '07 till the bottom falls out, the way new cars are going.

With the right tools and steady hands, its very straightforward.

A noble effort.

All I know is that I’ve never connected my TV to the internet and never gotten ads on it

Not saying more sinister things aren’t possible, but for my TV to connect to some kind of mesh net, it would probably need a firmware update, which its not going to get, because again, its not connected to the internet.

Iirc that’s specifically for amazon devices, this was regarding Samsung TVs

Don’t connect it to the internet

Implying you can control or induce these hyperfixations in a productive way is disingenuous at best, measurably harmful at worst.

If you work in a job that can use use the chaos in a productive way that’s great, but I’m willing to bet you still face abnormally high difficulty with general life tasks, and consistently struggle to enforce a work/life balance.

You’re not helping people with ADHD by posting this. You’re establishing an unattainable standard for people that are already doing everything in their power just to get by.

I never mention my ADHD to anyone but my therapist and friends I’ve known for several years. I don’t want people to change how they treat me, whether for better or worse, when they find out about it.

This is such a weird phenomenon that I entirely relate to.

I found a job where my boss doesn’t care when I show up so long as the work is getting done.

The only other solution that works for me is going to bed obnoxiously early (like 9) and aiming to show up an HOUR ahead of time.

Oh this is awesome, how have I never heard of this?
