I've yet to get medicated. Last time I tried I had the wrong diagnosis and ended up in grippy socks, and I'm currently living by myself, so starting new meds is kinda frightening tbh.

I did drink/smoke way too much as a coping mechanism, because yakno meds that help someone be able to function like a normal person are EVIL, but letting ur kid go undiagnosed and untreated is so fucking healthy for their long-term mental health.

My parents also managed to fuck up my math track to put me a year behind, and when I found their error and tried to catch up, they didn't support at all.

Homeschool parents are [very often] imbeciles.

Well I didn't have to mask, but I also didn't get my ADHD, bipolar or anxiety recognized/diagnosed until well into my adult life, lmao.

I'm a product of homeschooling, and cannot begin to tell you how detrimental it was to my adult life and being able to function in society.

100% of my socialization growing up came from church. While I have siblings who grew up to be very successful, they all stayed in the church.

It's a cult. It's child abuse. You are robbing your child of critical life experience and social development. It also makes it so that anyone escaping from growing up in that will have an extremely difficult time rebuilding their life outside of religion.

Meh, an RGB notification LED was still much more glanceable. I agree that it's somewhat redundant, but I had OLED phones with notif LEDs and it was still nice.

Internet entropy

I'll be honest I haven't been on reddit much aside from a couple communities since the whole shutdown, but it's not that surprising tbh. Reddit is a huge target for astroturfing, they don't have good protections against it, and Israel invests A LOT into stuff like that.

I also feel like anecdotally I've always felt like reddit was very pro-israel. I've been educated about many things because of reddit, but Palestine wasn't one of them. (when I say educated about I don't just mean reading comments, I actually do go to effort to read books etc., but often Reddit was a source of prompting for me to realize I needed to educate myself on something)

But yeah, it's so refreshing using Lemmy. Really reminds me of when I started using Reddit, but more mature.

I've never gotten why Brave got popular in the first place. I downloaded it once and uninstalled within 3 minutes.

Cromite and Waterfox are all I'll ever need.

This doesn't do anything particularly revolutionary, but it does give you a nice GUI with the ability to assign hotkeys to suspend/resume.

Useful if you want console-like game suspend to quick-switch between games, or if you're just trying to save on the electricity bill.

EDIT to add: suspended apps stay in RAM/VRAM, so be aware of your specs/game requirements if you're trying to achieve console-like "game switching". Also, could be incredibly useful for mobile gamers to save on battery/cool down the device a bit while not playing for a minute or two.

If you're on Android why not just use revanced or Newpipe? Both are excellent and I haven't had issues with revanced since this change.

Would love to see the military force MS to contribute to WINE development until all govt apps work on Linux.

I think it’s a bit of a stretch to say that any hair that is ‘relatively long’, ‘not geometrical’, or ‘unnatural color or variation’ is “clearly part of black culture.”

Good thing that's not what I said. The policy doesn't exclude all black hairstyles, but many of the hairstyles that would be excluded are sources of cultural/personal identity for black Americans.

it doesn’t seem to be written to target any particular culture

Literally what I spent my first comment explaining - it doesn't have to be written to target a specific culture to be a racist policy. Oppression is not determined by the intent of the oppressor, but by the lived experiences of the oppressed.
