Half the problem with autism and adhd both is difficulty with habit formation and maintenance.
You don’t need habits. You need routines with reliable contextual triggers. They’ll fail from time to time and you will just have to be okay with that, and try to figure out exactly what made them fail when they do so maybe you can fix it going forward. But it will still occasionally fail.
You can’t make a sieve not leak without making it not a sieve.
Always worth keeping in mind that the first rule of power is that it never surrenders itself willingly.
In this case, what that means is thatthe courts - supreme or not - will only go along with Trump’s power grab for as long as the belief that it furthers their own power prevails. And that belief is cracking.
It’s cracking way too late to stop the power grab from progressing further, but still.
I’m from Vesterålen in Northern Norway and this is giving me huge home vibes.
I’m sorry, but ‘crash when pressing Ctrl+C’ is a hilarious bug.
Engagement is merely the ability to, or the degree to which you are able to, maintain interaction with something (a system, a game, a fidget toy, whatever) over time. It has absolutely nothing to do with entertainment, although you can use entertainment as a means of achieving or increasing engagement. However, entertainment is hard. People are entertained by different things to different degrees, and respond to their entertainment in different ways. Engagement on the other hand is a fairly simple behavioural matter and that’s a whole field of science (which is mostly bollocks, to be fair, but its lessons can be very effective when applied at scale).
Source: I used to be a behavioural engineer, specifically a gamification specialist. Engagement was the oil I was employed to extract, and entertainment the excuse my field used to pretend what we were (and still are) doing isn’t just social manipulation at scale.
I really, really need people to grok the distinction between engagement and entertainment.
Honestly, the game is amazing 95% of the time. But Act 3 feels a bit too packed and a bit rushed at the same time. I’ve not been able to complete it because the game consistently crashes for me at a particular point on what amounts to ‘the final run’.
The fact that instead of just leaving the gsme until patched I instead chose to start over with a second character says something about how good the game is otherwise.
I’ve been thinking about some similar use cases recently and came to the conclusion that it’s ultimately about packaging. All the functionalities that are needed are fairly readily available (other replies here have aome good suggestions in Nextcloud and self-hosted Odoo), but the real challenge is to make it easily deployable into and accessible for the community.
My thinking was specifically for the idea of easily connecting and organising building tenants. I want to get to the point where one (or a few) tenants can get together, set up a single boxin a flat in the building, and distribute QR codes to the other tenants that will allow them to access some kind of virtual building community hub. If you’re reliant on a lot of technical know-how to set up or maintain this, that’s going to severely limit its usefulness.
