I thought Ctrl+Win+S was a shortcut that launched the Snipping Tool

Interesting… what happens exactly, if I may ask? Im on 60mg, personally the only side-effect I get is a more or less severe energy crash around dinner time (I feel like I have to go to bed right now for a good 30-60min), but it doesn’t mess with my sleep unless I take it too late in the day. 1PM seems to be the cutoff for fucking up my night.

I know some ADHD folks have sleep issues, but fortunately, I personally fall asleep very easily and am very difficult to wake up - especially since I got a CPAP to treat the severe sleep apnea. The problem is, I often go to bed way too late, either from having to work after the kids are in bed from procrastinating some task for too long, or literally forgetting what time it is and realizing what time it is 5h before I have to wake up.

We do get what you mean (extremely condescending and reductive take, if you ask me). I was thinking rigidly along the lines of data engineering, as this is, well, a data engineering problem… There just isn’t 30% of people doing this on Google captchas, and this isn’t a “take”, just a reality of the scale and amount of people interacting with Google products. Have fun all you want, you do this, your data most likely gets thrown out, that’s all.

We’re still talking about image recognition, aren’t we? This feels like a general commentary on how Big Tech sees their customer base, which I don’t disagree with, but in my mind was just another discussion entirely…

That kind of data sanitization is just standard practice. You need some level of confidence on your data’s accuracy, and for anything normally distributed, throwing out obvious outliers is a safe assumption.

That’s quite a strong table, holding 11 people

Maybe my taste buds are just broken, but for me, candy has always been either very sour for a very short time, or slightly sour all the way through. I’ve never had anything be very sour all the way through.

You can run scripts before/after pacman commands using hooks

A "server" is just a remote computer "serving" you stuff, after all. Although, if you have stuff you would have trouble setting up again from scratch, I'd recommend you look into making at least these parts of your setup repeatable, be it something fancy ala Ansible, or even just a couple of bash scripts to install the correct packages and backing up your configs.

Once you're in this mindset and take this approach by default, changing machines becomes a lot less daunting in general. A new personal machine takes me about an hour to setup, preparing the USB included.

If it's stuff you don't care about losing, ignore everything I just said. But if you do care about it, I'd slowly start by giving from the most to least critical parts. There's no better time to do it than when things are working well haha!

58% goes to fundraising, administrative and technological costs. The rest has some money going towards, but no limited to, other programs.

Only thing I can find in their financials that would maybe qualify as "random outreach" would be "awards and grants", at 26mil last year out of 185mil revenue, or 14%.

As far as I can tell, it's not particularly random.

Maybe I'm missing something?

A true free speech absolutist!

Tramp is more featured, but if all one cares about is being able to edit remote files using a local editor, vim can edit remote files with scp too: scp://user@server[:port]//remote/file.txt

I tried tramp-mode at some point, but I seem to remember some gotchas with LSP and pretty bleh latency, which didn't make it all that useful to me... But I admittedly didn't spend much time in emacs land.

I'd be curious as to what you consider to be Canadian "leftist" media. I would love not to have this preconception, but let me guess - you consider the PLC to be left leaning.

Eh, I'm about the same age as OP, I don't have to get to 50 to know that I'd take my parents' economic context over the two crashes. The rest... For many reasons, if medicine does some miraculous leap forward by then, maybe I'll still wish I got a lot more left to go by then.

On the other hand, it's not always something we actively do. If I lose focus on something I was doing with someone or on a conversation, I didn't do it on purpose, and I literally couldn't help it. I have definitely been called an asshole for it before, but calling me out on it doesn't do anything but make me feel like shit cause it happened again, and as I know it always will, I now know you'll always think I'm being one

Yes, but it's IMHO not as clear cut. Some of the things we do because of our executive function disorder can be interpreted as us being assholes by those we interact with. One can act like an asshole at times and not intrinsically be one. Some things are perceived as assholeish by some people but not others.

Really bigger updates obviously require a major version bump to signify to users that there is potential stability or breakage issues expected.

If your software is following semver, not necessarily. It only requires a major version bump if a change is breaking backwards compatibility. You can have very big minor releases and tiny major releases.

there was more time for people to run pre-release versions if they are adventurous and thus there is better testing

Again, by experience, this is assuming a lot.

From experience shipping releases, "bigger updates" and "more tested" are more or less antithetical. The testing surface area tends to grow exponentially with the amount of features you ship with a given release, to the point I tend to see small, regular releases, as a better sign of stability.

I'd love to share your optimism, especially regarding that last sentence. As long as Google controls the most popular web browser out there, I don't see the arms race ever stopping, they'll just come up with something else. It wouldn't be the first time they push towards something nobody asked for that only benefits themselves.

Your first hint that this is a naive take is that you're brushing off a societal issue to a single, external factor.
