I'm happy to hear you found something that works. I tried this before and just like every other thing, I forgot about the notebook after a week of it kinda helping. More of a me problem here, though.

Well yeah. Most ND stuff is just normal stuff but turned up to 11.

"Normal" people worry about having locked their door, but OCD will make you go back three times and double-check, even if you're late somewhere.
"Normal" people get thoughts by association, but ADHD will make you throw the original thought over your shoulder while you're still having a conversation about it.
"Normal" people may have issues interpreting unfamiliar social cues, but autism is socialguessr on hard mode.

etc.

Yup. Getting tired of people saying "just write notes and reminders!"

Okay, my brain immediately deleted the memory of the reminder once it popped up, now what.

I've had my accounts blocked like that a few times when Mastodon was relatively new. I guess it's an instance-specific thing?

I don't remember the exact instance any more, since I never went back there, but mastodon.social doesn't seem to do that.

You don't need to choose a server with bsky, that's it. It's just one big blob of everyone where no one really cares what kind of content or how often you post.

With Mastodon, you need to pick a server, and then there's funny things like "oh, you haven't posted for a while, we're blocking your account" or concerns that the server you chose may decide you're not fitting. That and mastodon.social wasn't available to register for a while as I recall.

Add to that the fact that your instance may not be federated with whoever you're trying to share stuff to. Meanwhile with bsky it's just "do you have bsky yes or no".

People care about ease of use way more than whether it's corporate or not.

Literally me. I should get to setting this stuff up, probably.

Yeah, but at least we got WFH nowadays.

May I introduce you to the concept of microdistrict. That's how the original soviet developments were planned out - every house is guaranteed to have necessities like stores, a polyclinic, a school, a kindergarden, or a fire department within reasonable distance. Usually, walking distance. Everything is pedestrian permeable, there's public transport connecting the "sleeping districts" where there were mostly apartments to the industrial areas where the jobs were. And yeah, playgrounds in or near every building.

Jobs in the same area as apartments isn't really happening though, office buildings and industry tends to be away.

I just bought one of those suction cup shower head holders for my current place when I found it doesn't have a holder. Works fine, although it's a bit temperamental about the surface.

Those are very cheap so try getting one?

That is in the plans, although I'm not sure if it's windows, the cable, or the monitor itself. Apparently DP standard doesn't actually require the device to report itself being plugged in.

[–] GTG3000@programming.dev 3 points 1 month ago (4 children)

Now if only windows would stop reacting like I unplugged a DP monitor when it's powered down.

[–] GTG3000@programming.dev 2 points 1 month ago

Man, if only it was possible to know ahead of time what kind of standard the cable you want to buy supports. I wouldn't be so annoyed if it wasn't basically lottery, since they can put whatever wording they like on what's basically a USB2.0 cable and have no repercussions whatsoever.
