1 step at a time. The uphill battle is exhausting, but each small step makes the next a little easier. Plus, no one said you have to climb all the way up the hill in one go. Pause and build up energy every once in a while.

If i had advice for my previous self, itd be that going to a psychiatrist has been really helpful. they focus on 1 thing: meds. I wish I’d done that sooner tbh. Im seeing one who has their own part time practice since they’ve recently become certified, so its been nice having communication that isnt filtered through an office or comprehensive services offering (that isn’t to say there aren’t downsides in availability and responsiveness). i found them through word of mouth, which helped me get past the doom scrolling of the insurance lists.

I used some more ADHD specific/exclusive services for the few years prior and while it was a good start, it was only a partial solution and it was deeply impersonal.

Fwiw, they’ve open sourced the specification behind canvas, so there’s a good chance any OSS Obsidian “forks” that pop up if they do enshittify will be able to support it.

PCP’s do very basic screenings for these things and the screenings are not very well tailored to neurodivergence. On some level, I think as neurodivergent people we will answer the questions a bit too honestly and sometimes we’re overly self-aware in how we communicate difficulties which can seem like a bigger issue. PCP’s are generalists and they often aren’t offered enough resources due to insurance or office rules to do something more tailored to any individuals unique situation.

That said, it’s still good for them to do the screenings and bring it up since it’s always worth looking into if the signs are there.

I don’t know what your situation is or if you are getting ADHD treatment otherwise, but you might find that (if you are suffering from depression) it’ll be more obvious to you and you’ll find treatment for it and/or anxiety more helpful after getting ADHD-specific treatment started.

I also bounced off of depression and anxiety treatment before I’d started stimulants a few years ago. I started an SNRI a few months ago for depression symptoms (and as a symptom reducer for migraines, interestingly enough) and it became very clear to me that I WAS depressed, once the meds started working. I realized how much stress I was building up and holding onto, as well as how often I fell into mental rabbit-holes of negativity. The SNRI basically helps me hit the pause button on those kinds of triggers well before things build up.

If you haven’t considered it yet, try looking for a pyschiatrist. I’ve been working with a PNP (without having a current PCP, mind you, but my insurance doesn’t require one), and it’s been a breath of fresh air to focus on mental health needs without the doctors office baggage.

Personally, I’m not sure a diagnosis of Depression or Anxiety fits me per say, and but my next step on the treatment journey is to find a therapist to narrow down and/or identify the root cause, and build better skills outside of meds.

Its somewhat trivial nowadays to make a chrome extension compatible with firefox. I bet if you bother the dev of that site, they could get it done fast, especially since it’s a relatively simple thing to do via an extension and I highly doubt it’s using any WebExtension API’s that aren’t standardized between chrome and fieefox.

I’m switching to OSM, personally.

For android, OsmAnd is really solid and make editing easy. (Organic Maps is good too, but much less featured, depending on preferences.) I’ve started updating all the places I frequent and anything near me that I notice. Its actually kind of fun, to be perfectly honest. Its a small, somewhat selfless thing to do that has an impact on others around you.

IMHO, helping improve an open alternative for the community benefit is a far better act of resistance than a chrome extension that could easily be a GreaseMonkey script, aside from providing a bit of messaging.

Thats absolutely possible via the underlying WebPayments API. The payment “wallet” is linked in the HTML (at least for web pages, RSS, podcast RSS, etc) so someone could design an app that reads these links as QR codes.

The whole point of WebPayments is that and payment solution that you (the “spender”) wants to use which is compatible can be used to send money to any compatible wallet.

Whether the payment solution is via government backed, banking systems, or crypto, all it needs to be is compatible.

A valid concern. However, nothing is stopping people from doing the same right now with a big old forced Kofi/patreon/whatever banner, and I’m not sure that this changes that.

The advantage of this over current options is that like RSS, you can consume/deliver it however best suits you without needing to have different accounts of different platforms.

Ah. I think I jumped to assumptions about interledger based on the wallet terminology.

Looks like it’s based on the Web Monetization W3C proposal.

https://webmonetization.org/docs/

Looks neat, though I’m always a little hesitant when the thing involves crypto. while Interledger is the main driver of the peer-to-peer payments so far, there is nothing stopping a government or banking service from creating an OpenPayment compatible service, so long run there might be a lot of flexibility and less being tied to a specific cyrpto.

Its basically a meta tag that points at a tip jar that’s embedded in web pages… This is the same implementation as RSS and only matters to you if you are looking for it or have the ability to act on it.

That means its entirely opt-in and entirely detached from any one company

Chances are they are doing something similar to URL shortening where a reference to the destination and the tracking info is either hashed into the URL directly or stored elsewhere behind whatever ID is in the URL.

Unshortening tools can fetch the actual URL (with any tracking params) in a private context.

I have no idea if anything exists on iOS, but on Android there are tools like URL Check which replace your default browser and let you un-short or otherwise manipulate URLs before opening in a browser or sharing.

1. License settings are available on the website settings

2. Probably the app. I’ve actually switched to a third party App (Pixilex on android) because I was experiencing a lot of buggy behavior with the official one. It’s definitely not ready yet and seems to be buggier on android.

I have no interest in engaging further with your pedantic hypotheticals. Go move the goalposts with someone else.

I wasn’t even trying to argue with you. It was just info that didn’t require a response since not everyone lives in a corporate computing environment. You are the one who wanted to tilt at imaginary goal posts for no reason. Not every comment in a thread is an argument.

Touch grass and relax a bit. The corporate environment can be properly maintained another day.

Some people aren’t a fan of F-droid managing the signing keys and that sometimes F-droid builds/deployments can take a bit. There is an argument for developer-managed signing keys being better than registry-managed signing keys for trust, but that also doesn’t make F-droid “bad”. While I’m not fully versed on it, I think the issue here only applies to the main F-droid repo since other repos might have different policies around builds and signing keys.

Personally, I like the experience of managing my most used apps through Obtanium via the devs git releases, but I only use that if the dev is good about publishing their signing key so it can be verified with AppVerifier. Otherwise, F-droid is safer than running an app installed without verifying the signing key.

Not everyone at a company can be managed by group policy or in-tune or whatever. Like if they aren’t using windows. You can run into the same situation on macOS or Linux depending on if you have the old and/or new clients installed at the same time.

I was curious too (tho I don’t really partake in the community) and this explains the situation:

Prob a highlight of how Lemmy needs to solve community migration cross-instsnce properly as well as how community moderation vs. instance moderation will always be a problem in reddit-like fediverse implementations.

While this is the answer for an IT Admin, it isn’t for companies on not-Windows and all the small/medium companies on O365 who were sold it on the promise of not needing IT Admins for their stuff.

Microsoft doesn’t ACTUALLY care about teams so it’s a nonstop bad UX, then they try to fix it, then they go a different direction, and so on. To Microsoft, its an add on that they mostly use to keep people away from Slack. When they spend time on it, all they are doing is enough to keep people away from Slack.

Its been like, what, 2 years there they’ve shipped a “new” client seperate from the existing client (at least on macOS)? People are constantly using the wrong one or switching when one breaks, and Microsoft constantly breaks the new one.

On windows the existence of the built-in “Teams” App is constantly confusing when people are trying to sign into a work account, which requires a different client. This is because the “Teams” App in Windows is just a rebadged Skype.

Before 2022 when I used it for some meetings (we used slack in our unit since we had some of our own budget, but the wider corp was on teams) it was a daily toss up as to whether video calls would work on macos or linux.

Most of my frustrations come from having to develop some integrations with teams:

1. Right now there’s a massive bug for the templating language to render cards in the UI and Microsoft’s answer has largely been a big shoulder shrug.

2. There are several really easy ways an admin can break a custom integration via azure. Obviously an app-based integration is better, but it’s also really common in b2b to have more ad-hoc setups to send some data to teams. Even better, lots of small/medium companies have been convinced that they don’t need IT people to help them with their Azure configuration, so no one ever knows how to solve any problems they create (this also applies to email fwiw… Unbelievable how many small/medium O365 customers have very broken email servers)

3. Microsoft’s implementation of federation between O365 users is a mess of tiered settings, and figuring our if rhe issue is on the business side or your side is a sysiphean task. If you are in an org which doesn’t have a domain hooked up to your setup (as in you use username@company.onmicrosoft.com) there is a very specific sign in page you have to use or it’ll blow up on you. And it’s not the generic sign in page you get when going to teams or O364’s web site.

Tl:dr; Teams is a hacked together mess of bubble gum and toothpicks masquerading as a chat app. Its a miracle ir works as well as it does for “normal” usage, but it’s a joke compared to Slack in every other way and quickly becomes a nightmare if you are working on integrations with it.

They may not be happening in Chicago, but they are very much happening in Phoenix. I’m not informed enough specifically to say whether Chicago or any of the other listed cities were just a feint or if they have been delayed for other reasons. Its also likely that many state and city officials are doing their best to put roadblocks in the way right now.

As someone who lived in Phoenix during Arizona’s SB1070 raids, don’t expect news coverage to keep up. Even outlets trying their hardest to stay on top of it are under-resourced, and it can take time for civilian footage from the scene to get vetted. It’ll likely get better the more awareness is spread and once the strategy Trump’s administration is more well understood.

Many state and local democratic parties are far ahead of the national party in the progressive shift, too, and it’s absolutely easier to inspire change in a local or state party than the national party.

And it’s not just running for elected offices. In-party roles like chair membership and planning can be effective for driving change in a party, and also be the difference in whether the elections continue to go to the shoe-in forever politicians or someone new. The people supporting a change who have access to the resources of the party are just as important as those running.

And if anyone is thinking “my city/county/state party is so tone deaf/old/corporate” consider that they might simply need someone younger or more progessive to become more involved. In an ideal world, they’d be able to speak more with the community, but sometimes they are understaffed or unaware and rely on who is involved to provide context. Become that context.
