Thank you! I’m going to look into it. Also, for what it’s worth, I didn’t realize I was responding to a month old post until after the fact. So thank you for responding even though I probably seemed like some bot trying to build history. I assure you I am not, and I am writing this on my real phone using my human fingers, while breathing oxygen, since I am a biological creature, fellow human. Beep boop. 🤖

What game was it? That sounds like it could be interesting.

Are you me? LukHash is my go to. I can’t imagine how many times I’ve listened to Virtual Burnout and Better Than Reality in the last year.

This was beautiful, thank you for sharing it. I did not have “Feeling less alone because an internet stranger shared a Henry Rollins quote on Lemmy” on my agenda this evening, but here we are.

I use “Focus Plant: Pomodoro timer” on Android, but there is an iPhone version too. It’s free, with ads, but there is a subscription that removes them. I can only speak to how it works on Android, but in addition to blocking other apps (or at least adding a barrier to get to them) it gamifies things by letting you earn “raindrops” for focusing. Those are used to water little plant monsters, which there are a ton of. You can set a specific timer, regular or pomodoro, or just a count up, and it will show you a little icon for other people who are also currently focusing, which is kind of nice. It’s a bit silly, but the added layers of game and very light social aspect add a little that help me personally. It’s very usable with ads if you want to try it without committing money. I personally subscribe because it makes some of the game bits (sort of loot crates) more fun, but that’s definitely optional. (Good grief this sounds like I’m astroturfing for the company. I’m not, I just tried a bunch of other apps too, and this one has a combination of features that helped my dumpster fire of a brain.)

This looks interesting, thanks for sharing! I’ve played around a bit in Tinkercad (too limited) and Fusion 360 (complicated) but haven’t found something that feels right yet. I bookmarked this to follow what you find!

They did invent a pretty useful knife, so I suppose it would be nice to thank them for that. /s

Inb4 someone asks how to do this

Linux does exactly what you tell it to, not exactly what you want. There’s a big difference.

13 year user. Reddit communities helped me get through some tough times. I haven’t visited in ages, but R/stopdrinking is one of the reasons I’m able to cosplay as a functional human. Many hobbies and passions were found and expanded there. I mod a small subreddit. I didn’t delete my account, but it went from visiting multiple times a day to now about once a week.

TBH it makes me pretty sad, and feels like a ‘small death’ of something I cared about more than I fully realized. I’m still mourning it in some ways, but am also excited about the ‘old internet’ feel of Lemmy and the fediverse and being part of that ride.

TPU is tricky. Did you tune All The Things for it, separate things PLU settings? Off the top of my head I use 230 nozzle, 40 bed temperature (instead of ~200/60) and the retraction settings are different. I think the base speed had to be tuned too. Even then, my prints don’t turn out as smooth as id prefer. The balance of walls and infill numbers can be a dance.

I sometimes tell myself that I don’t have to go very far, or maybe I just have to walk, but put on my shoes (and headphones and whatever else) and walk out the door. Once I’m out, I usually do want to go. Sometimes I can convince myself that future me will appreciate it if I go, which can be motivation, but that depends on the day. I also find that signing up for a race helps. If I don’t train leading up to it, that day is going to suck much more, and I don’t want that to happen!

I also have dogs and once they get a hint that I might go for one they are very persistent about making sure I take them. 😆

For me, exercise is critical, specifically running. The combination of physical exertion, repetitive motion, “me time” and getting outside is one of the most helpful things for both ADHD and depression. When I’m not able to run for a few days I feel the difference. There are times I don’t enjoy running, but I almost never regret having gone for a run. This can be hard because depression will tell you it’s so much easier to sit and watch TV or play a game.

I know that not everyone likes running or has the ability or space to do it safely, but long walks, swimming, biking, etc, might be alternatives.

But what if I’m an introvert and like to lurk? Introverts unite! Separately! And in different places!
