Fun Fact:
1955 is how long we’ve officially existed, originally under the name “hyperkinetic reaction of childhood”. 😅
Definitely long enough to rub in the faces of the no one had ADHD in my day crowd, which is what’s important.
Imagine being an NT person and just bumping into one topic after another like a moth, I’d much rather know how I got to wherever I ended up. 😅
Nice! I wish we had more unusual phones like all the crazy dumb-phone designs in the 2000s. I always wanted an LG Wing for exactly this reason.
Is it because all the AI editing tools mean your “photos” don’t necessarily correlate with your “memories” any more? 😅
Yeah, I’m afraid that was a scam, not Samsung.
Samsung’s policy updates will in open a full-screen, white view in the same style as the rest of their OS (similar to the visual appearance of the Galaxy Store settings), just so you can keep that in mind for next time. ✌️
I love my Grip case. Love being able to occasionally reskin it to get a “new” case.
Their subreddit gives the impression their build quality is shit, but I’ve noticed a lot of people with problems saying “I’ve only taken the case off a handful of times” or “I usually swap cases every few weeks, but I noticed…”
Like, surely just put the case on the phone until it wears out? For protection? Rather than prising it off and being surprised when it loses its strength? I dunno, each to their own I guess. 😅
It’s like when Nintendo games sometimes remind you to take a break :)
In the smouldering aftermath, some politicians, keen to shift the focus from social inequality, have muttered darkly about the role of BlackBerry Messenger, Twitter and Facebook – frightening new technologies that, like the pen and the human mouth, allow citizens to swap messages with one another. Some have even called for the likes of Twitter to be temporarily suspended in times of great national crisis. That’d be reassuring – like the scene at the start of a zombie movie where the news bulletin is suddenly replaced by a whistling tone and a stark caption reading PLEASE STAND BY. The last thing we need in an emergency is the ability to share information.

Plus ADHD and depression are comorbid, so a lot of what we think of as “ADHD symptoms” might be depression symptoms? Idk just a thought 😃
Oh, that’s interesting… guess I might be “moving to Turkey” haha… 😏
Oh, I’m sure they are. I just mean, if The Masses are going to try anything, it’s going to be the easier of the two options (with loads of marketing behind it). :)
Yeah I haven’t been bothering recently, I gotta be honest. The m0nkrus releases are just too easy haha.
Is the hosts file hack still worth doing, or just go into Windows Firewall and take away its internet access?
Yes, to all of this.
UX people probably call this “friction” or something. I think the fediverse currently has too much “friction” for the average person.
Whereas with Threads it’ll be as simple as tapping the “Continue using Facebook” button. 🤔
Although, people have been saying that since Ellen Pao and Voat… 😅
I think you’re right to a point, but also, the whole fragmented fediverse thing is going to have to… at least be simplified if the “lurking voter” mainstream are going to end up here.
Me (enthusiastically):
“It’s federated, so you have to choose an instance! They’re all different, but they can all talk to each other! Some of them have different rules. Oh, and they can all have their own ‘videos’ community, so you have to decide which ones you want to follow. Also some of the instances are kbin and some are Lemmy, but most likely the website you log into won’t be called either of those things. And if you don’t curate your own frontpage (which doesn’t even show your subs by default) you’ll just see everything at once!”

This is one thing that makes me think mine is AuDHD, not just ADHD (waiting for an autism assessment now).
I occasionally pin important tabs, or use Tab Groups, but mostly I obsessively sort everything into Collections and start fresh every time. I can’t stand digital clutter. Messy Desktops drive me mad, too.
And yet my IRL world is disorganisation and chaos. 😬
