Can we make an exception for Vermin Supreme

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.

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

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
countrypunk 2 months ago • 100%
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 stripped this screw in my laptop and as such can't open the back cover to replace parts. Things I've tried: -Different size/type screwdrivers -Rubber band -Hammer -Hot glue gun Edit: got it unsuck. Thanks everyone for the advice
As per my previous post regarding Instagram, it was suggested to me to add it to a separate profile on grapheneOS. I have a couple of questions about it: 1.) Does the VPN on my main profile apply to my secondary profile 2.) Do I even need a VPN on my second profile if the only thing on it is Instagram and most permissions are off 3.) Is there a way to transfer selected images/files to the secondary profile Any other tips for limiting Instagram's tracking are welcome as well. EXCEPT for "Instagram bad get rid of it." I am already aware of that.

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.

I think I can get them to switch when I leave Instagram, which is why I said I've only got to keep using it for a set amount of time. The issue is really that these are aquantinces that will become friends once I move and get to hang out with them IRL.

I see what you're saying now. In settings it only has network and photo permissions (with photos being limited access). Is there a way it can get that permission outside of the permissions list in settings?
countrypunk 2 months ago • 100%
I might just have to do this, although having a VPN and accessing it on desktop might flag my account and/or lock it. Would having Instagram on my old phone and taking it off my current one help?

Facebook is pretty strict with their account creation stuff compared to Instagram. On Instagram it's easy to make a bunch of alts and keep them. I tried to make an account on Facebook to access marketplace a long time ago and it got banned and they wanted my real name and ID to access the account.

I'm planning on self hosting a matrix server in the future, but it'll be a couple of months before I can sit down and work on that.

Does this also apply to calls?
countrypunk 2 months ago • 100%
Unfortunately I do have WhatsApp and I absolutely cannot get rid of that unless I cut off all my older family members who don't know how to use anything else (which I don't wanna do). I'm gonna put Instagram on a separate profile like you recommended, but can't for WhatsApp because that'll mean I can't pick up calls and the likes. I do have molly and quite like it, but only have a couple of friends on it that I've managed to convince to switch. I hope to get more on there from Instagram in the future, but will have to wait for when I am better friends with those people and less of a weird acquaintance.
The only place I get any ads nowadays is on Instagram, but I'm assuming that after I am rid of that they'll still have a shadow profile on me in the background.
Also, another question: what is the network permission on graphene OS? I haven't been able to find a clear answer about it on the net.
Thanks.

IG is on the primary profile.

Wait, really? Can I log in with my Instagram account onto it? If so that's great news because the main reason I'm keeping it right now is the chat, but sometimes get sucked into the content vortex.

Dude, you don't know anything of my situation. Why are you being so judgmental when I just asked a question. I'm not asking for lectures like this, which is why I made extra sure to clarify that I already know that Instagram is bad and I have to use it for a set amount of time.
countrypunk 2 months ago • 71%
It's more likely than not that, but I would like to err on the side of caution and figure out a way to fix it just in case my suspicion is true.
I want to preface this by saying that yes, I know that Instagram is bad. I am planning to get rid of it in the future but as of now I have to keep it for communication with people who are only on that platform. So I have grapheneOS, use protonvpn (free version), use mull as my browser, and do not have google play services enabled on my phone. I do have some apps downloaded through aurora store such as Instagram, whatsapp, mychart, and mint mobile, but the rest came from f-droid. I have noticed multiple times that after having private conversations on matrix, I get Instagram content in my feed that is scarily accurate to the conversation I had on the other platform immediately after. I know that things discussed in Instagram direct messages and group chat will give suggested content based on those conversations, but I get stuff that that is very specific to what I have ONLY discussed on matrix and didn't look up via my browser. So my question is how is Instagram doing this and what can I do to mitigate the spying it's doing on my other apps. Thanks.
Cross post of my post from elsewhere. I was told y'all might appreciate this.
Hey y'all, I stumbled across this free extensive course on permaculture by Oregon state university on YouTube. Thought y'all might be interested.
I'm thinking about making a druidism ~~instance~~ community to discuss the practice and share stories and the likes. I'm not strictly opposed to it being a more general nature spirituality instance, depends on what y'all are thinking. Anybody interested in joining and/or modding one? Edit: I meant a community, not an instance. Got my Lemmy vocabulary mixed up. My apologies. Edit 2: The community has been made. Go to !nature_spirituality
Boneset is a pretty common "weed" in the eastern US. It's easy to find in wet, disturbed habitats. Uses: -Fever -Anti inflammation -Colds Do NOT consume in large amounts. It has mild liver toxicity and thus should just be used when needed.
This can be the way things are taught, who are the teachers, what a school day would look like, where classes are taught, what things what look like, etc.
I use Fish Emulsion Fertilizer a lot in my own garden. It's organic, and most importantly WORKS. You typically use it for plants bearing fruit (such as tomatoes, watermelon, squash) and not leafy vegetables (spinach, Swiss Chard, etc). It makes the fruits a lot tastier from my experience. I typically buy it from my local farmer's CO-OP, but it's not an uncommon find elsewhere. Here's a helpful guide on using it: https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/garden-how-to/soil-fertilizers/using-fish-emulsion.htm
This is a good introductory article for Solarpunk. If someone asks you "What is Solarpunk?" this is a good place to start.
I've been thinking about Solarpunk spiritualities/philosophies. Not gonna use the word religion here to avoid the negative connotations of that. I've been practicing druidism way before I ever discovered solarpunk, and I feel like the two are very compatible with each other. Love of nature, do no harm to others, fluid and evolving, open to interpretation. Any other ideas about already existing spiritual philosophies that are compatible with solarpunk?
