This post is an explanation of how my personal motivation works, and I am curious how others here relate to it, and if it is a common thing with ADHD.

For starters, I have inattentive-type ADHD, have been diagnosed and on various medications for ~5 years, and am roughly college age for context. I am very highly motivated by other people, basically anything where people are depending on my for something, or will directly help/harm someone depending on my actions. Of course I still have executive dysfunction struggles regardless, but that external motivation helps immensely.

In school this manifested as struggling a lot with homework (often not doing it), but doing very well in-class and with group projects. In my limited work and internship experiences, somewhat predicably, I have done very well as directly working hands-on with coworkers highly motivates me. Unfortunately, personal life progression things like actually getting a job and finding and applying for further education is the exact opposite, and is a struggle. There are of course plenty more examples, but I think that gives the gist of my experience.

Sometimes it will work after multiple presses, sometimes not at all. It may be a Lemmy or Lemmy.world problem, but if it's Voyager I'm on Android using firefox

If you want to help draw people over to Lemmy from Reddit through the r/place event, you're in the right place! More instructions will be posted once the event starts and we pick a spot, but until then feel free to discuss overall strategy or design of the banner

As some may have noticed, a fairly large portion of the post on this community are article links posted by bots. I am no moderator and am just a regular user like the rest of you, but I want to know what the community thinks of the posting bots. here is a sample of my opinion to get conversation started:

Pros:

• lots of content to engage with
• people can focus on discussing things not finding thing

Cons:

• lack of reliable quality of article
• lack of diversity of content

There are rings in the game that give you buffs, often in sets. The Ring of Rock gives +13 armor, the Ring of Stone gives +14 mining damage, and the set bonus gives +49 mining damage. I had seen that there would be a pair earlier, but i finally got the set and acheivement yesterday.

I heard some stuff a while ago about there eventually being a non-ios theme for voyager, wefwef at the time. Is there an estimated timeline or plan on when that will be available, or perhaps some way for us users to help out with that?

I love almost every about voyager besides the theme. I know Apollo was intended to be ios but I see no reason voyager has to be the same

I am about to go to college for engineering and they require a Windows laptop because of the software we will be using (mostly solidworks I'm pretty sure) doesn't work on other operating systems. I primarily use windows day-to-day for gaming and such anyways so it's not a problem for me but I'm wondering if anyone had experience using solidworks or any other industry-class CAD software like Inventor on linux
