What do shutdowns and meltdowns actually look like?
  • Growing up, meltdowns for me were all out tantrums. Screaming, crying, tearing up the place. I remember it being described as a tasmanian devil came through the place. Now that I'm in my 20s, I rarely have meltdowns, but they have happened. Mostly due to too much stimulation of my emotions, I just lose control of them. At this point in my life, it's mainly attached to romantic situations because they are probably the most alien and difficult situations for me to navigate. I would say that there is definitely an element of depression/anxiety included in them, however.

    Shutdowns though... I'm not sure to be honest. There are days or even weeks where sometimes I'm just lost for motivation and I don't want to interact with anyone. I'd rather be alone. But I'm not sure if that's more of a bout of depression than a shutdown to be honest.

    LMG has made a response video to Gamers Nexus' concerns
  • The video was probably recorded yesterday and then scheduled to be published this morning. I believe Madison came out on Twitter earlier this morning. Hopefully they address this though. I'm really disappointed with LMG this week.

    (LINUX USER)What VPNs would you lovely people recommend?
  • Have you been able to get ProtonVPN to work with WireGuard on Linux? I believe their VPN client on Linux only uses OpenVPN and I've tried to pull a WireGuard config file for a P2P server but every time I try to use it, I get no connection.

    Guardians of the Galaxy 3 was Christian propaganda
  • I agree. The way I see it, the movie is more focused on having their characters accepting their pasts, embracing the family they have made, and charting their futures based on their desires. Yes it plays with tropes but in no way is it Christian propaganda. If it were Christian propaganda, then Rocket would've never turned away from the High Evolutionary. Adam even goes through his own change from being the Warlock of the Sovereign to being a Guardian. It's a wonderful story I believe and a great send off for this iteration of the team.

    Community Discussion: Apps Worth Every Penny!
  • For me, it's very helpful in the ways it prevents me from oversleeping. I have it set to that in order to turn off my alarm, I have to go scan the barcode on my mouthwash in my bathroom, thus forcing me out of bed. The sleep tracking features are neat too and will hopefully wake you up when you're out of deep sleep so you're less groggy in the morning.

  • I'm giving Kvaesito Launcher a shot since I haven't been too happy with KISS Launcher. So far I'm enjoying the experience!

    Show off your Android: the Home Sweet Home(screen) Edition!
  • I've had Nova Launcher for a long time now, but I've recently grown bored of it and desired a change. I am giving KISS Launcher a shot after hearing good things about it here on Lemmy. This is my current setup.

    Going to possibly be moving around launchers though. Main thing I need is a search bar

    Any CompTIA A+ resources?
  • I second the recommendation for Professor Messer. I went through his videos when I was prepping for the A+ exam last year. An amazing resource all for free. If you're moving forward to get Network+ and Security+ too, Messer has a whole series of videos for those as well.

    Sync is back on the Play Store, but it's not a third-party Reddit app anymore
  • That is perfect! I was just starting to think that I needed to take the time to make everything the way it was again back on Reddit :)
