I had this exact same problem when I switched from windows to fedora KDE a couple months ago. The solution for me was to install the proprietary nvidia Linux drivers. The OS has some already bundled, but I found some other people online have this issue until they switched drivers and I gave shot. Im on my phone so I dont have any links or much else to give you rn, but if you need me to provide more info I can when I get back on my PC.

it takes a long time to register and I say "what" but I'm just buying time to respond.

This is how I realized I was experiencing APD when I learned about it. It helps explain some of the masking that I do.

Funny part is I play music and its not usually a problem and I play by ear a lot. Occasionally it does trip me up, but the better I get, the less of an issue that is.

I had the same problem until I installed the nvidia drivers. KDE will install some that gets things to work but I had that sleeping problem you mention. I can't remember the exact package name but I can try and figure it out if you need help finding it.

Its a channel on YouTube that makes these surrounded videos that are often political where they get 20 of x vs 1 of y where both groups are opposed in some way. 20 people sit around the 1 person and they race each other to the middle seat to debate on whatever the prompt is. Some of them can be interesting, but it often gets pretty toxic and generally doesn't feel productive and more just like political entertainment.

Ya I also use librewolf and I find it fairly intuitive to start at a more hardened place and enable convenience as needed. Though these days I find most sites work great even with full fingerprint protection.

Because if google kills side loading on all non custom os devices, that removes the incentive for open source developers to make software if there is no way to distribute it. So even custom OS's will feel this unfortunately. We might still have viable options, but nothing like we see today.

For the first question, I would base my search on things like the extensiveness of the results, authentication, pricing, usability, etc. If you don't have any specific criteria right away, try making a few calls and playing with it to see if it will be what you needed. Some APIs I'll find its missing this one thing that makes another api a better choice. This is something you'll get better at with experience.

And no youre not expected to know all the tools, there are about an infinite out there. Generally youre expected to be familiar with some of the tools of the job but knowing more can't hurt either. Take things one thing at a time and make some simple project with what you've learned. That's how I do it anyways, but everyone is different.

You can play OSRS for free. Its just got some features locked behind membership. But you can also get membership through items in the game. As an enjoyer of vanilla wow, I'd recommend giving it a shot.

on "Touch grass" · c/memes · 5 pts · 1y

To wield the phrase "touch grass" is to admit that you, too, must touch grass.

Was just about to suggest it might be PDA. I have a bit of that and it is rather annoying. Some techniques ive used go combat this:

  • challenge yourself. Or someone else challenge you to do a thing. "I bet you can't do x."
  • give yourself a couple choices that lead to the same result and then just lick one. This one can be tough if im feeling indecisive.

Neither are perfect but they do help sometimes.
