    Following somebody else’s comment about how “taxes” help build communities, I’m now calling it ADHD fees (or ADHD hidden fees if you prefer the long version)

    That whole situation sucks. I like to buy rock climbing pants because lots of them have zipper pockets while still looking like typical chinos.







  • I’m ambivalent about the topic because the goal is for us to own our servers…

    Most of the hardware I use is proprietary, but at the end of the day Intel can’t come and rob me of the object I paid for. Sure it will become obsolete in 10 or 20 years, but I’m still the owner.

    When it comes to software, I want to own it, not just a license. Most proprietary software comes with strings attached, which is why I don’t think it fits the self-hosting philosophy.

    If a proprietary software was “buy it once and own the binaries forever”, I wouldn’t mind seeing it discussed here. (Plex with lifetime licenses comes to mind.)

    However, I don’t want to see advertisement for a proprietary software the same way I don’t want to see ads for some specific hardware components.

    That’s my opinion.

    Imho, the expectation that we musts et goals and achieve them is partly due to the society imposing this on us… Yet it’s true that we must still set goals regarding food and sleep!

    When I’m by myself (ex: backpacking), I try to avoid setting goals, and to go with the flow. The hardest part is not to overpay for things when normies assume that “not planning” is a good reason to screw someone over. (ie: they didn’t book in advance, so off course it’s normal to charge 5x the price!)

    I decided that I don’t want to be a virtuoso at the guitar, I just play for fun. If I can’t practice a full hour everyday because of my ED, I no longer care.

    I like the nomadic/sedentary comparison of ADHD/normie. When things are steady and unchanging, and planning is usefull, then ADHD sucks. When things are chaotic and unpredictable, ADHD is a superpower (and medication hinders it).

    My ED goes away when I need to react to a problem. Not sure how this extends to other people though… I’m good at problem solving, so I don’t get anxiety in front of the unknown.
