ADHD meds are wild. Just changed from Concerta to Elvanse, and it's... weird.
Concerta would make me maximally aware of my surroundings. Felt like being a character in a spy movie: "I just entered this room and I've already noticed _everything_ about it".
Elvanse is different. Instead of "high res surveillance camera" mode, it puts me in "absolute laser focus" mode. I notice every single detail on the one thing I'm looking at... but notice absolutely nothing else around me

@npub1qw9…r0g7 yeah, my hope was that Samsung was the only one trying (and failing) to be smart. I see it's everyone :(

It is my call, as a rendering engineer, to render things wherever possible. Today, inspired by @npub1aw2…8vv5, I'm rendering images to the Github activity graph

@npub1ykd…6j2y it's clearly living up to the Laguna part of the name, though

@npub1ykd…6j2y @npub1c5u…sr87 that's the tragedy of living in cities with tons of light pollution.
Spend a couple months living in a place without too much artificial light and a ton of darkness (Swedish winters...) and you learn to recognize Mars and Venus _really_ quickly. Once you remove the light pollution, the fact that one is reddish and the other one blueish is super clear!

@npub1ykd…6j2y shame we didn't go with a 5-based system. "Add 4 pentagrams of sugar" would've had a nice ring to it

@npub1ykd…6j2y what if your debug build is so slow to be unusable, despite having the beefiest machines money can buy. Asking for a friend

@npub1ykd…6j2y thanks for the video. He makes a good point on the sexism.
I can confirm the fry is strong with the nordics, and not just Finland. Trying to listen to hour-long presentations of pure fry (most of them male) is painfully boring, and a seemingly inescapable feature of swedish culture too😩

Every. Single. Time. I go to the supermarket, I'm confused by this brand. Is it...
