Oh there’ll be elections. Just like Russia has elections, and Cuba.

Judith Collin’s is a truly awful person, but even a stopped clock is right twice a day.

OP might be talking about the user base, not the owners.

Call it “eX-Twitter”.

Y’all should watch the head of IRD tell them to get fucked (more or less) at this year’s FEC hearing.

“Influencer”

The real world.

Oh. Yay.

Oh yeah, it’s easy enough to beat one you know how.

Yes, thanks to moderators who abuse the system, and lazy admins who don’t hold them to account.

Reddit uses fingerprinting techniques to track you across accounts. You need to look into defeating these tactics in order to successfully register (and keep) a new account.

Change browser, block html canvas, change IP address, etc. Also time plays a factor. Leave it a couple of weeks.

Or, recognise that Reddit has become completely overrun with shitposting bots and has little in the way of interesting content to offer these days, and move on.

The law: Do what we say, don’t challenge us, give us all your wealth, we can change the law at any time.

Security through obscurity. Solid move.

We went back to a simple spreadsheet. 😆

Two? Colleague from our IT team reckons it’s more like six.

New Teams has more options for opening new windows, but it’s also more stubbornly determined to open docs in the web app (embedded within Teams of course).

Shifts is a straight no for my team. And don’t get me started on Planner…

Most modern UIs are shit, and not just for people with ADHD.

The biggest sins IMO:

• Everyone has to be unique, instead of sticking to established and successful design patterns. *Breaking existing UI elements (looking at you, infinite scroll).
• Trying to do everything, all at once.
• Not getting rid of old shit (hello Microsoft).

Career-wise, yes, in my experience.

When you start out in junior positions, you don’t tend to have a lot of autonomy in your work life. Other people are setting priorities, deadlines etc, and you’re just along for the ride.

As your career advances, you tend to take on more leadership duties. You’re more responsible for managing your own work, and then eventually other peoples’ as well. This is where executive functioning deficits tend to start to really hit home.

It’s not for nothing that a lot of people get diagnosed in middle age.

Today it’s immigrants and trans people.

I have been asking for some better note keeping software at work for about 2 years now, because the M365 apps are garbage and don’t work for me. In spite of my workplace having a reasonable accommodation policy and the best of intentions, they have no process for handling requests outside the predefined standard stuff (screen readers, dyslexic-friendly fonts etc) and so the request has been stuck in limbo. I’m now on my fourth manager since it started LOL.

Well, with their track record…

ADHD is definitely a possibility. I have it and can relate to those issues. However stress, anxiety and fatigue can also cause problems like this without there being an underlying condition like ADHD. Definitely agree on seeking professional help though, if that’s possible.
