  • Another way in which I can relate to ADHD although my neurodivergence is PTSD. So many apparently overlapping symptoms I thought I had ADHD for a while.

    The thing that makes me understand it's trauma is that the dire need to please people, the hypersensitivity, and the way I freeze when I should be getting stuff done or going to bed, are all because my my brain was wired over several years of childhood to say I am in danger.

    My brother does have ADHD and we're eachothers best allies because we each have this thing that's sort of shared but also completely different.

  • I started playing Exapunks, a Zachtronics game. I printed off the zine and everything. Just totally enjoying the retrofuturistic cyberpunk vibe.

    I say retrofuturistic - cyberpunk now feels like an accurate commentary on the present day (lolsob).

  • The revolution will not be displayed on your refrigerator. The revolution will not have Terms of Service and a Privacy Notice. The revolution will not receive over the air updates.

    The revolution will not be advertised.

  • The guy makes a lot of great points and we have a lot to figure out about present-day problems of overconsumption, AI slop, closed source, etc as a species.

    LLMs are peak overconsumption, they're everywhere I didn’t ask for it.

    E.g. Zoom companion??? Why???

    I did use to find the idea of an AGI singularity really interesting but current AI is already too destructive in some very miserable ways, and it feels like entertaining a futuristic scenario is in "cosy catastrophe" territory...

  • Tysm, that's really helpful!

    Getting that pen and paper boost but with digital information is goals.

    I will perhaps start with one tool, give it a really good chance, and review the options after some use. I found with bullet journaling that while it was helpful right away, it was only with spending some time with it that I could evaluate it fairly.

    I'm tempted to start with org mode but my emacs is soooo rusty lol

  • I have exactly one browser bookmark I use: the zoom link for my therapist.

    Sums up my online world. Chaos and therapy!

    Whereas, offline I have a neat bullet journal and I collect my thoughts and tasks in a way that feels natural.

    Now I think about it, the difference between online and offline for me is stark. So I'll be looking into the link tree systems you suggested - thanks!
