saw my therapist today and now that I'm 5 sessions in, I do quite like her. the fact that she has ADHD herself is a major bonus, because my top priority has been getting myself back onto my own damn system for getting things done (challenge 1: remembering they exist), and she knows wtf I'm talking about when I bring up executive dysfunction snafus that normies can simply never understand on a bone-deep level. it might seem like a small thing, but what a relief that shared understanding is.
@tk I didn't have to pay anything for an account there, FWIW. I think a lot of their instances are open access... if I had reasonable amounts of money, I'd donate, but I don't
so as part of quitting slumming on reddit, yesterday I went thru and found some Lemmy-adjacent communities. I already had the Thunder and Voyager clients installed on my phone, so as I use those I'll figure out which I like best.
it's still pretty small, with fairly fragmented communities, in that a given topic might have 6 communities on various instances, 4 or 5 of which are completely or mostly dead. #threadiverse
reading that SNES article makes me want to play Darius Twin while eating Pizza Hut pizza.
last I checked, which was many years ago, Darius Twin was one of the SNES games that was a bit challenging for emulators. probably long since fixed, I don't play games much, especially console games (my fine motor ability is okay for keyboard + mouse, not sufficient for handheld controllers)
@sun my introduction to how comfy left-wing Germans think was when "chaos dot social" kicked a Belarussian protester off their instance during Lukashenko's last big crackdown because they couldn't understand the language he was liveposting updates in and therefore couldn't moderate it.
small-time fedi trainwreck personality & long-abiding fedi development attempter. been here since 2017 and haven't accomplished a damn thing besides making friends :)I used to work in 9-5 software engineering but found it wasn't for me, and then life took me on a ride. I'm still on that ride, and now trying to reboot as an indie developer.Pet project #1: @fediseedsPet project #2: @surfhosting
