You have ADHD and your kids probably will too.

Bruh, it’s so well written.

You can read it like a book, or you can use it as a reference manual with very easy to find sections you can just flip to and read a paragraph, or skim through the section heading and get the gist until something piques your interest…. It’s damn near perfect for ADHDers to read. Too bad so many of us have struggled to read for so long that most won’t even give it a second thought.

What a wonderful example, there is a feature, but it’s in absolutely no way obvious, not if you look across your screen thoroughly, or if you’ve got a few decades of computing experience guiding you.

If I don’t scroll down, how would I ever know that the “found on page” is down there. I’ve been using iPhone and safari for years and didn’t know about this method. Other things like that have come up before, hidden features that no one in their right mind would naturally discover.

I wonder if safari on macOS has the same functionality, I bet it doesn’t. But even if it did…

Is it safe to assume you’ve search for those terms on Google Scholar to see which journals are publishing content relevant to you?

I’m not sure that’s so true nowadays, I’m very tech literate, and find iPhones still quite filled with bugs and weird design choices that make me have to actually TRY to be able to use them.

Take the browser for instance, why do I have to click the share button to use the “find on page” option? Well I learned from another dev that it’s actually the “action” button… but it’s almost exclusively used as a share button.

The mail app has some oddities. The pull down to search function is fucking stupid. I can’t quite remember all of them, but there are so many horrible UX decisions made for the sake of a “clean” interface.

And then there are the bugs, my AirPods won’t connect… they take forever to attempt, and then nothing happens. I after a couple of other troubleshooting steps, I figure out that toggling Bluetooth on my phone allows the AirPods to connect immediately.

Lots of bugs, with workarounds that I can figure out… but they’d drive someone else up a wall.

And we had a horrid time trying to use FaceTime on AppleTV to AppleTV. Apparently it was stability issues on my phones iOS version. And my phone wasn’t updating, despite updating multiple times on 17, the latest wouldn’t download until I went and removed an old ios16 beta profile. But I guess that’s kinda on me.

Can’t be that many on Lemmy at this point.

Heh, there's a quote from the How to ADHD author on the cover of Extra focus.

Same, Khan is good for math.

I’ll write that down, I just know of this one since I watch the authors’ YouTube channel.

Bruh, Disney’s coming for you. It’s only the one without gloves that’s public domain.

For project ideas, I think most of us start with a problem and learn how to solve it. But without some foundational knowledge, you may struggle to even realize what’s a solvable problem.

You should maybe start with something like Linus Tech Tips “techquickie” content. Look at tutorials for home servers and home labs.

Or just spin around with your eyes closed, and point at a random tech object in your home, then start searching for info on how that works. How you can customize it, fix it, break it, make your own.

Not sure how else to help you jumpstart what many of us have just been naturally doing our whole lives. Like… be curious. That’s the key actually. Curiosity.

Hmm… you seem to be right.

Someone needs to re-host it

That cat gets all the pets he wants, when he's in the mood he hops up on you and head-butts you until you rub him.

I'll have you know i picked it up and read another 10 pages this morning, before even taking my meds. But my meds are at my computer desk... and well, I decided I should take my meds and then got distracted by doing stuff on my computer.

Luckily, this thread has reminded me of what I was doing prior to coming over here, so I'm going to go back and continue reading.

3 times a day to every 3 days is normal.

When was the last time you pooped?

Share it with someone you don’t like, but like, not in an obvious you’re-giving-them-permission kind of way. Then report the fraud if they actually use it, then just see what happens.

Ideally we get consumer protections that quit all that privacy and anti-repair bs. And we could stop propping up the oil industry and idk… put that money towards helping people transition to other forms of transportation. Improving public transit, micro-mobility, walkable cities, and where necessary electric vehicles.

We can hold on to our gas vehicles while not going out of our way to artificially prop up gas.

Ah, I was just trying and failing to point out that I’ve managed quite a few hobbies in spite of limited funds. I might go a little nuts with the new checks I’ll be getting. :-)

Did she enjoy the comment as much as you did?

I played this so much: https://github.com/mjaun/android-anuto
