Wait. You’re telling me I can connect home assistant to my printer in since way… I’ve been missing out.

Late 30s here. I was diagnosed as a kid, on meds for a couple months before my parents didn’t like the emotion nullifying effects it had on me. Proceed to forget entirely about it until Covid hit.

So, mine (as an adult) was virtual and I was (am) incredibly stressed so my symptoms were through the roof. In a single hour session I had my diagnosis and a prescription. It was mostly the doc asking me questions. No formal test or anything like that, but this guy’s specializes in it - so I think my experience might be a bit different than the norm.

Oh I definitely get that too. Did not realize there was another option for focus. Either do all the things or none of the things. I should ask my doc about that.

Dude. I definitely skinnied up before and I guarantee it’ll happen again. I mean, I could use a little less though. So - win win I guess.

Yeah that sucks. I really liked using them for quick clips of videos I took. Booooooo

Oh I did that too

Commenting because I’d love to know the same.

As another dev here, I have barely used a PC/laptop outside of work in years. I got a gaming PC like 2 years back and don’t use it much. But every time I get the hankering for some personal dev project and have to mess with the registry I cry inside. I really need to just ditch it for Linux entirely. I’m so much more comfortable on Linux. You might just convince me to bite the bullet and remove it entirely since 90% of my gaming is on steamdeck anyway.

It was! Posting this from my fold-4 as we speak. I’m loving the app so far. Great job on this!

Lol, yeah for us we didn’t own any of the code that used it but depended on server software made internally that did. At the time we managed our own hosts, so it was a long week of deployments.

That was not a fun week to be a developer.

Left pad https://arstechnica.com/information-technology/2016/03/rage-quit-coder-unpublished-17-lines-of-javascript-and-broke-the-internet/

Had GPT summarize what happened.

The “left pad” incident refers to a controversy that arose in 2016 when a developer named Azer Koçulu removed his JavaScript package called “left-pad” from the NPM (Node Package Manager) registry. This caused a ripple effect, breaking numerous projects that relied on this package and highlighting the potential risks of relying on external dependencies. The incident sparked a debate about the stability and trustworthiness of the open-source ecosystem and led to discussions about best practices for managing dependencies in software development.

You mean you don’t drone on for 10 minutes focused on the details instead of the main point? Maybe that’s just me and my kids then :)

I absolutely feel you. I’m doing really well in terms of what society would consider good, but it’s absolutely falling upwards. I’m really good at my job, but the setbacks are constant outside that world and I 100% relate to everything you said. Just feels like everything is always falling apart and my best efforts will never be enough.

I felt the same way when I was diagnosed with ADHD, and I still have no idea what to do with that info other than feel “not enough” for anybody.

I don’t have any answers, but what you’re feeling is the same as me, so don’t hesitate to DM me (if that’s a thing on here) and vent. I’m always in need of a good vent too.

186 here. Already diagnosed with ADHD, so lots of overlap, but I definitely connect with a lot of things I see around about autism. I should set another appointment with my doctor for ADHD and see if he can properly test me or something. I’m like 4 months without my meds anyway, so I know I need to setup an appointment anyway.

I just don’t want more “you are broken” things floating around my head. It’s bad enough already.

1000% agree. This is how it should be done. And not hidden away somewhere deep. There are legit reasons for in depth tracking, but when used for advertising or something other than improving the user’s experience, count me out.

Oh absolutely this. Far far easier. It’s a sign of a good dev who can come in and improve things without needing to rewrite everything. That said, refactors are fun as hell.

Where do I join?

It’d be a “vulnerability” of anything public. There’s nothing stopping me from building a bot that pulls posts/threads from any instance and storing all the comments, their owners, the posts and their owners, yadda yadda.

I suspect the up/downvotes are “private” but on any instance, the owners will have access to that. I can’t imagine all the data is encrypted at rest by default. But, don’t take my word on that as I haven’t read any of the specs. But, I’m pretty sure we’re just looking at the protocol, not the implementation with regards to how a federated instance works.

So, same precautions as anywhere else really. Your data that’s public WILL be tracked by someone and Meta is a damn likely culprit who absolutely would do that. I’m a total privacy nerd myself, but you’d be amazed at the things I want to track at work related to what/how/why people use the tools I work on. Granted, it’s 100% exclusively used to improve user experience, weed out bugs, and see what is used most frequently to focus on that stuff. But if it can be tracked, somebody is tracking it.

Am a developer, and there’s a few patterns to make this sort of thing easier, but Lemmy/kbin is pretty different than the reddit APIs as I understand it with the federation aspects, so swapping wouldn’t be THAT easy. Doable, but not a drop in replacement.
