Very interesting, thanks!

Motivation is a tricky thing. You need to create it, it’s not something anyone has innately.

Something I’ve been using lately, with good results, is to spend a few minutes at the start of each day reminding myself of the vision I have for my future. I previously collected photos or symbols of those things and spend a few seconds dwelling on each of them and trying to imagine how my life will be better then. Cultivate the dream.

A lot of those things I dream of will take a long time to happen so they need to be broken down into smaller sub-goals. Use chatgpt to help with this?

Once my vision has been refreshed I make a to-do list for the day.

Executive functioning is often hard for people with autism. Some of the techniques that people with ADHD use can be helpful, as they have the same issues. Lots of info on the web out there about this and your public library will have free books on it too.

I no longer care if the blackouts change reddit or not. Viva la fediverse!

This seems ok to me. Over time you might come to regret it if you have many scripts and they want to use different package versions…

Another approach could be to write a shell script which loads the virtual environment and then starts the main script. something like

cd /home/rimu/path_to_my_script/
source venv/bin/activate
python myscript.py

Put your shell script in ~/bin and ensure that ~/bin is in your $PATH.

Don’t forget to buy thermal paste!

There is only one admin and it is also the only kbin developer.

Kbin is not ready, I’m sad to say.

There are hardly any experienced Rust developers. It’s going to be a big problem.

Also try these https://userstyles.world/search?q=lemmy

No, the whole thing is too much like work. The CSS has no license so anyone is free to rip it off and use it - someone who has already set up their lemmy development environment would be able to incorporate this CSS in a few minutes.

Plus I’m sure the devs are frantically dealing with far more important issues to do with scaling, spam and moderation so they won’t get to my PR for months. This user script approach gets a result out there immediately.

You need a browser extension. On Firefox it’s called “Stylus”. Once you’ve installed that, go to https://userstyles.world/style/10301 and click the ‘install’ button.

I’m not sure what the equivalent Chrome extension is but userstyles.world will tell you.

You can put that url into the search (magnifying glass in the top right) and then you’ll be able to view that post within your instance.

But there’s something even better - if you put “!asklemmy@lemmy.ml” into the search then you’ll see a bunch of posts appear from that community.

Just above the list of search results is a link saying “<icon> asklemmy@lemmy.ml - 29 subscribers”. It is not very obvious or highlighted in any way. Lemmy should fix this.

Click on that and the contents of that community will be displayed - crucially, it’ll be displayed by your instance. You haven’t gone to lemmy.ml, you’re still on your home instance (check the address bar of your browser).

In the top right there is a nice big “Subscribe” button. Click it.

Agreed and what this shows is the marketplace of ideas cannot be owned by a corporation. The interests of capital will always come first.

UFOs. Seriously.

Check out https://kbin.social.

IMO the UI of Kbin is much better, although I really miss the ‘collapse thread’ function. That’s a deal-breaker for me.
