It’s not a universal rule at all. I know people who are very ADHD who if they drink coffee they have a panic attack. I know people who it makes tired, and I know people who it makes productive. Personally it makes me more talkative.

Basically, it’s not a criteria for diagnosis at all. Everyone’s brain chemistry is different. There might be a higher percentage of people with ADHD whom caffeine does not affect compared to the general population, but that does not at all mean that to be ADHD you have to have that same thing.

I have a t480 and didn’t need to do that

What do you mean? Testosterone is a controlled substance.

Windows kept shoving their stupid Edge browser down my throat. Tried every way to remove it and it kept popping back up like malware. Kept annoying me with “upgrade to Windows 11 popups.” I’ve used windows 11 on other people’s laptops and was flabbergasted that there were ads on paid software. In addition to that I heard 10 will stop getting security updates next year so I bit the bullet and switched to mint full time. It’s worked well for me so far.

A lot of people on Lemmy are also on matrix, which is an FOSS alternative to discord.

Interesting. I’m usually wired in the morning, crash late afternoon/evening, and then get wired again at around 11pm.

Straterra didn’t do shit other than make my libido nonexistent. Ritalin has worked well for me. I know people who felt like they were in hell while on Ritalin. A lot of it is trial and error since all bodies process them differently.

I will say, there are genetic tests you can take to see which medications are tolerated well by your body. I took one and surprise surprise, I had the markers for straterra not being well tolerated. Also if you have other family members who have ADHD and are on medication it’s a good idea to ask them since your genetics will be somewhat similar.

Yup. I’ve had the same issue with invidious. Hope it’ll get fixed soon. Freetube works for now.

I’ve been using screwdrivers not drill bits. It’s a 4mm screw

It is filled with glue but I put it in after I stripped it to help with traction but it didn’t help

Interestingly enough I tried whatismyip on both my main and secondary profile and they both showed the same IP and location

Not being careful is what got me into this whole mess 😅

I will try that. Thanks.

I have used flatheads of various sizes and it wouldn’t budge, unfortunately. I don’t know how to cut metal.

All of the other six screws were easy but this particular one was very stubborn. It is indeed still full of hot glue.

I haven’t got a rotary tool or the proper drill bits. Rotary tool is a no since it’s a laptop and I don’t wanna damage it, but I will get some of those drill bits if the screw extractor doesn’t work. Hoping not to have to take it to a technician

Not sure how I could possibly make this much worse given it’s already pretty stripped 😅. I’ll get a screw extractor and see if it works.

I’ve only got about a month left that I have to use it. Would prefer to use a separate profile as opposed to a web browser so I wouldn’t have to sign in all of the time + get flagged as a bot because of my VPN. I have tried webapp sandboxing but it hardly worked and broke most things.

I have an old-ish dumb TV. Just look around on something like Craigslist and you’ve got a good chance of finding one

I have heard mixed things about instander

I have gotten some people on signal but I will have to wait to try and get more on it. I’ve also heard that there’s privacy issues with signal but even if the allegations are true it’s a big step up from Instagram. I’m hoping to mainly use signal and my self-hosted matrix server in the future.
