@chris I’d love to help you out, but thanks to ADHD my /uses turned into a whole public brain thing. Too much “well in this context I use this, and in that context I use that, and–”

Stuck on macOS currently, so my list may narrow enough to be a list.

As for the VS Code dilemma, you can at least spice that up by highlighting some core plugins for your workflow.

@seatek Probably. Annoyed enough with hardware, future of Windows, and future of Linux on my particular device that I stripped out the useful parts and am living on my MBP now. Evaluating next system.

@Binder did you suggest a new eyewear prescription?

Wow but #Logseq takes a long time to load on macOS for me

(graph size: 1562 pages; 20 plugins with varying degrees of chunkiness)

@bckohan django-typer is too many degrees removed from this week’s tasks but heck that looks awesome. Bookmarking to look at later!

Dunno if this is true for everyone w/ #ADHD but it’s been true for me. Posting to remind me & anyone similar:

Your brain doesn’t communicate state well. If you feel like you’re on the verge of a breakdown, there’s a non-zero chance you’re in a breakdown. Focus on crisis mitigation, not pushing through.

Signed,

let’s go walk the dogs

@m glad it rings true for you. I suspected I wasn’t the only one with Sunday burnout.

And the walk did help!

washed some of the dishes and paused to check on @IamMrsGeek

when i came downstairs there were more dishes

we’ve got dish gremlins

@NosirrahSec yep the self-care slack is definitely somewhere way past the check engine light of our brain. I’m a little too familiar with the pattern myself.

hackers.town: 2024-10-13 Sun 14:02

@gadgetoid oh heck yeah. I mean I’m a little this and a little that, with some autistic traits currently under evaluation.

But I have read that ADHD meltdowns are a specific thing.

hackers.town: 2024-10-13 Sun 14:04

@WuMargaret @IamMrsGeek those darn gremlins!

@genehack dangit I really should sit down and read

a book

but also this GTD book that I’ve read so many Sparky’s Notes summaries of.

hackers.town: 2024-10-13 Sun 21:44

@genehack Yeah I do know it’s established the framework a lot of the Shannara apps out there sell themselves on.

I looked at a grafana dashboard and I understood some of the columns.

oh no

hackers.town: 2024-10-13 Sun 22:08

@maddiefuzz I mean I’d rather be using I dunno visidata or something.

A lot of these dashboard I’m getting lost in look like – data theater?

hackers.town: 2024-10-13 Sun 22:21

@cinebox @maddiefuzz I like tables. Fancy tables, mind you. Gimme something I can sort and filter and do math on, and I’ll decide if I want a pretty line or not.
