Interesting! I am not super familiar with wiki software but I do like tinkering with things, so it might be fun to help out and learn the function of DokuWiki at the same time.
Oh yeah, it's definitely more than just attention issues in class. Fun trivia: we have a high comorbidity rate with bipolar disorder. Did you know that? Our emotional dysregulation tends to be so bad that people with ADHD keep getting diagnosed with bipolar. How is that school based? What does that have to do with homework? Nothing! Yet, everyone acts like ADHD is just something that interferes with homework! It's frustrating.
Oh definitely. Let's talk about adhd for a second.
So first of all, everyone assumes the only issues it causes is with work and schooling. Once it affects your daily life, That's when allies start to eye you weirdly. Sorry, what do you mean that you can't do laundry right now because of "executive dysfunction"---even kids can do their chores if their parents bug them enough!
Secondly, resources are slim. Books are targeted towards teenagers in school, parents and their unruly kids, parents and their gifted kids...but there sadly isn't as many books on adult ADHD unless it's an organization book!
Next, let's talk about the depression and stress it causes. No one clues into that. Free therapy in my province is targeted towards warped thinking, which is great and all but doesn't help at all when it comes to adhd. I'm not necessarily depressed because I thought of the bad things that are going to happen--I'm depressed because I can't physically bring myself to do something productive right now. It's executive dysfunction, not sadness.
Just got a few books from my local library that I'm excited to start. I'm starting off with "Focused Forward: Navigating the Storms of Adult ADHD" by James M. Ochoa which I picked out because it was the smallest book in the ADHD category, ha.
I also got a book on Linux/Unix, Diabetes, a workbook for Bipolar, a healthy snack book, and an organization book. Not too too sure if I'll be able to finish it all by the time they're due, but its a nice varied selection.
Listen. I understand that the entire thing was hyped up upon release. It was, after all, a gamechanger for mobile gacha games. We went from turn-based games to things like Honkai Star Rail and Tower of Fantasy and of course, Genshin Impact. Honkai Impact 3rd existed, but it wasn't quite the same as these ones.
However. Despite the hype, there was a problem that made me reluctant to play it.
I really suck at gacha games. Every gacha game before then I would drop within what, 6 days? I love the characters, love the story, hate the game.
So imagine my surprise when I logged into my settings the other day and found out that oh, It's now been over 500 days logged, lmao. I've taken breaks from it once in a while, but I haven't quit it yet. What have I become?
Wait, what? Is that why everyone's recommending steam deck games? I assumed Steam Deck verified games required something like, an okay GPU. Its actually the voltage? That definitely makes my life easier, lmfao.
I dusted off my Beehaw account from when I left Twitter and I'm having lots of fun talking to you all in comparison to a lot of sites.
I installed Linux and I'm enjoying playing with all the neat new software. Currently tinkering with templates in Zim Wiki while I wait for my potatoes to cook. I also got introduced to a few low-end games I never would've known about normally and I definitely plan on trying some out.
I was wondering if the site was being buggy haha. Saw that my comments took a while to post and had to refresh.
Not too sure if I have tomato soup but I Do have a kinda gross (in that "this is probably not healthy for me, im eating it anyway" way) can of spaghetti that is calling my name, so thank you for the idea!
My use of Obsidian was primarily note-taking on topics relating to Mental Health, Physical Health, Productivity, Art, so forth. I would create templates dedicated to book reviews and video notes, and I had a morning routine in my daily notes. My morning routine was primarily a few tasks, checking off some habits, and the concept of Morning Pages by Julia Cameron where you just ramble on like a madman until you're done thinking that morning.
It was----still is great. However, I found that I tended to use plugins a bit too often! And I didn't really like relying on it too much, if that makes any sense? Like, what if this ABSOLUTELY ESSENTIAL PLUGIN TO MY WORKFLOW decides "yeah I can't update anymore" and its just poof, gone.
So I am trying out different software.
A few days ago I switched to Logseq. It has a cool-looking citation method, however I think my use-case will most likely be journaling due to the infinite scroll function of the journal entries. I don't really like the idea of making one long note in the Journal and then having to scroll past it to get to my previous day's note. However, an infinite scroll is absolutely excellent for a morning routine template where you can scroll down and see all your mood tracking and habits. Similarly, the whiteboard function will be great to use for goal-setting. I previously used the Canva function in Obsidian for that at one point!
As for my note-taking, I'm now switching to Zim Wiki. I am a little unsure how to incorporate templates, but I'm sure I'll figure it out...however, I really like the simplistic look to it. It doesn't have a graph as far as I can tell, but I can create topics, subfolders, and subpages. There's a word editor at the top which I previously had to use a plugin in Obsidian for.
Finally, am I enjoying the switch? Actually, yes! I think Obsidian is great for an all-in-one program, but I just didn't like the fact that a lot of its functionality for me relied on plugins. Zim wiki + Logseq seem to be a good combination for me so far.
Can I ask what exactly ffmpeg does? I'm actually very, very new to video creation as a whole. I'm one of those folks that last touched a video creator back in the days of Windows Movie Maker. It seems to be a command line script, but is there any GUI for it?
I wanted a software that lets me write text on a blank paper, and Libre Office does that. Therefore, it's already a solid replacement. 10/10.
I'm actually switching from Logseq to Zim Wiki (might take a peek Dendron, though!) because I found out something about logseq I Don't quite like: each journal entry seems to be part of an infinite scroll. So you'd have day 1 of using it, then at the top would be day 2, and then it'd become day 3...
I did however like the fact that it has flashcard capabilities and whiteboard capabilities without having to install plugins. I think Logseq might be best used for a daily journal that you can scroll through from present day to past day. It also apparently has good citation features but I didn't get to explore it very well.
Nope, and apparently the mods agreed because someone just took it down quoting "bad take" as the reason, lmao.
Gave me an error and no email, so I thought it messed up.

Ooh I didn't know there was a database for interactive fiction! Thank you!
Oh that sounds like a lot of fun! I didn't care too much for the building aspect of Minecraft, but I did enjoy the adventures.
Genshin Impact.

I have never heard of MUDs before---fascinating, that IS something I'd like to explore.
Pretty good!

The world's plainest, most comforting food ever: Grilled cheese.
I also plan on making macaroni with ground turkey in it mixed with mushroom soup.
Basically we're a little frugal this week :P

Oh sure!! Sorry bout that, I read in the description that self help and betterment also counted for the community so I was a little excited haha;;
Hahaha. Ha. God, I hate Outlook.
