  • OpenOffice has more or less been dead for a while. Check out LibreOffice, its spiritual successor, or OnlyOffice (which people have opinions about because it's Russian developed [I think the guy is actually Latvian]).

    Also, my vote is for Bazzite. Gaming based and works out of the box with constant updates as long as you restart your computer with easy rollback if something goes wrong. Hard to break your computer, but if you like tinkering it'll have to be containerized.

    Desktop is an important choice for look and feel so check out the difference between GNOME and KDE the two main variants.

  • The major problem—one of the major problems, for there are several—one of the many major problems with governing people is that of whom you get to do it; or rather of who manages to get people to let them do it to them.

    To summarize: it is a well-known fact that those people who must want to rule people are, ipso facto, those least suited to do it.

    To summarize the summary: anyone who is capable of getting themselves made President should on no account be allowed to do the job.

    Are there older people with ADHD still taking stimulants?

    Jump

  • Same story but a little further along. Maxed out atomoxitine, and now on 30mg of Vyvanse. Starting my morning with an amphetamine and a cup of tea and I could take a nap. But focusing has been so much easier. I still hyperfocus, but at least now I realize I'm doing it. Also, I can listen to audiobooks now, which has been great. YMMV obviously.

  • He's mine! I saw him talk when he came to our community center. It was refreshing having a politician who seemed ready to actually make positive change. Because after our last system of government, we definitely need it.

  • You have a CNAME record that points service.my.domain to machine-that-hosts-caddy.ts-domain.ts.net, and with tailscale enable it hits the caddy server and then reverse proxies it to the machine:port of "service"? Which may or may not be the tailscale IP address and port?

    How do you use bookwyrm?

  • I mostly use it to keep track of what I read as opposed to a social media platform. I do follow some people that are on the same instance but mostly on the off chance anything looks interesting.

  • Democrats try a new tone: Less scripted, more cursing, Trumpier insults
