It's a spring drink, but it is very tasty.

I am trying to make other fermented sodas but i havent gotten around to sima yet
Marvel Champions. Excellent game I can play solo or with friends. Tons to collect without feeling like I'm getting ripped off. And I weirdly enjoy organizing it while ignoring how messy my office and the rest of my house are.
All things AI. I've been hyper focused on LLMs, and stable diffusion, to the detriment of my work... I cannot focus on anything else right now, I go to sleep thinking about it, and I wake up thinking about it. Sometimes I wish I wasn't like this, but tbh, in the moment, I really don't care.
Stat Wars lore. I've been listening to so many playlists breaking down the history, politics, and economics of the SW universe.
lately I've been hoping between programming in Haskell and playing pathfinder with some friends. I also got into one piece a while ago and just a few days ago finished the Netflix series. I'm also procrastinating playing persona 5 the royale, even tho it may as well be one of my favorite videogames.
I have some many software projects and videogames pending (looking at you Disco Elysium). I've postponed so many activities from udemy courses (paid for by the company)
Computers. I know so much random stuff about them. That's why my friends ask me what to buy for their own.

Here's another random thing you should know: In the windows 11 explorer, you need to right click on the filename to get the proper menu. If you right click somewhere else on the line that isn't the filename text, it gives you the menu that is supposed to show up when you click on empty space.
Windows just isn't for ADHD people. There's so much crap you need to keep in mind to use it and every little thing is a distraction.
Thats why I use windows 10 and Linux at the moment. Xfce is pretty good IMO.
Same, but just at home unfortunately. Using windows for the occasional game that doesn't run properly on linux is fine, but actually engaging with OS stuff is just hell.
Today at work I spent an hour fixing onedrive and it turns out that the permissions for the root folder of onedrive are just fucked most of the time. Team microsoft's solution is to just put everything into the documents folder because that's usually fine.
I feel like windows specifically interferes hard with my ADHD because I keep thinking about this crap. My colleagues just deal with it and then do something else, but my brain keeps getting stuck on it. I'll sometimes even do stuff that would definitely work on linux just to test windows. Sometimes it feels like I actually learn something, but more often than not I just find another broken thing and get frustrated.
Today I even caught myself checking out the vscode-nvim extension just to use my mouse less but the setup for windows was two pages and the one for linux was like one command.
Now I'm looking for a different job and I hope they have proper tools. Not sure if I can bear much more microsoft crap.
Sorry for the rambling, in the middle of writing I just felt like I need to get this off my chest and kept going.
So I'm in school and we use ipads for some weird reason. And that iPad os shit is hell ro Use for productively. We need to use word and PowerPoint but most of the time I use the web version as they have the same interface as onlyoffice on my desktop.
And don't get me started on the inconsistencies in ios. Some apps looks realy good and works well together like the work office suite. Those are fantastic to use with touchscreens as they are optimized for it. But than we ms office. The apps have the same interface on all the apps but not the same as the desktop versions of them. I have used office since 2010 and the iPad apps just feels like the office apps before 2007.
Sorry if I was unclear with something and my rambling about ios.
ADHD and mental health in general. I just found out two weeks ago and now I'm binging Dr. K and whatever similar stuff youtube recommends.
I reckon it'll be a challenge to stay mindful of all that stuff when I find something new to hyperfocus on, but at least I know in advance this time.
My hyper focus is on a rotating cycle it seems, and I just switched from Mac to PC. And then I found this place. So I’ve been obsessing over FOSS alternatives to daily tools. Some of this list is obvious, but I had taken a break from experimenting with FOSS for a while due to work and the fact that a lot of FOSS products are harder for me to use. So I’m just seeing how much things have improved for my needs at least.
- Reddit -> Lemmy
- Twitter -> Mastodon
- Discord -> Revolt (I can’t get signing up to work, but I hear good things?)
- Spotify -> Nuclear
- GitHub -> Codeberg
- Serenade.ai for programming by voice (GREAT for pacing and working at the same time)
- Microsoft Project - currently looking for something better than Project Libre UX wise
Omg thanks for giving me a safe space to word vomit. I needed that. 😭
Control system design at work and workshop build at home. It's been a great week. Tell you what isn't hyperfocal, cooking, cleaning and taxes.
What kind of workshop are you building?
It's a former stable repurposed to be a flexible workspace. There is one large workbench on casters. Tool boxes, pillar drill, welder, etc, are all on casters. That way I can bring large objects into the room. I'm mostly making things from wood, steel and aluminium. Lately I made a loftbed from scaffold poles, pallets and road signs.
This week I decided I was going to re-create the shared spreadsheet to my investment club portfolio, which quickly turned into writing a Python investment tracker
I've lost several nights to writing it so far, but it feels a little at the brink of disinterest now. There's only like a 5% chance I finish either the spreadsheet or the tracker at this point
--UPDATE--
I'm moved on to researching how car infotainment systems work and if it's possible to make your own. Guess it's just one of those weeks.
It is possible to make your own! You can use an old tablet, or even better a raspberry pi and touch screen. Then you add a hat with a better dac and send the audio to an amp. It's really cool, but I'm pretty sure just buying an actual aftermarket unit will get me a better unit for less money and much less work...
