I love C#, but F# is also super fun and worth checking out.

So this is the Pluto of the internet?

To be honest, despite the smaller community, I feel more at home in the Fediverse than ever I did in those big, bloated, commercial communities.

Ah yes ours just gives a notification when it’s ready. Plus the display will always show how much time is left and it’ll show up in the app as well. If its not dry yet it’ll adjust the timer but it always gives an estimate on when it should be finished (time left as well as the expected time it will be finished).

I can hear the tune from the other room, but I like the notification on my phone as a bonus!

I like our new Samsung dryer as it plays a tune when it’s done plus I get a notification on my phone. When our washing machine eventually breaks I want one that has similar features so it’s easier to keep track.

People who claim having ADHD has benefits or is a super power are just saying it to make it sound less bad. The reality is that ADHD sucks. It’s not impossible to deal with most of the time once you learn more about yourself and how your ADHD impacts you and what can help you manage the symptoms. Every individual is different. And sometimes we just have to accept that we mess up and that, although we are responsible for those mess ups and we have to work extra hard to blend in and try not to mess up too badly, it’s also a handicap that we didn’t ask for.

I don’t get why people say they have certain positive traits thanks to their ADHD. Why can’t it be because they themselves, as people, are good at something? Everyone has their strengths and weaknesses and every individual is unique. ADHD makes things more difficult, but not impossible. We just have to work with what we have and all we can do is try to find ways to get what we want in a way that works for us.

Okay, that’s good to know. Thank you!

Just to be clear, this is for POP!_OS, right? And does it automatically update my POP!_OS installation or is it a completely new distro that I’d have to do a clean install for?

Oh really? So that’s why my Windows system clock was way off after I installed Linux a few weeks ago?

I ran dual boot for a few weeks until my PSU broke which corrupted my Windows installation (I’ve been using Linux exclusively ever since) but when I was using Windows during that time sometimes I’d accidentally end up going to bed super late because the system clock said it was about 2 hours earlier than it really was.

Ah I see! Thanks for the explanation!

Oh right! Thanks!

I only recently switched to Linux / POP!_OS so I’m still getting used to the file types, but what are .cue files generally used for? I don’t think I’ve downloaded .cue files before.

Yeah, I now realise it could be very useful! I think Notepad in Windows 11 has tabs now but it’s still super barebones.

I never understood why people liked Notepad++ so much. I always just used Notepad for simple text file editing and quick notes so I didn’t see the point.

But I recently switched to POP!_OS and the text editor has lots of features Notepad doesn’t have (such as line numbers, indentation, and I can select the (programming) language I am writing the document in) and I found myself really liking these features.

Oh this is awesome! I really missed Atom and VSC just isn’t the same.

Thank you for sharing!

The engine following in Blender’s footsteps would most likely be Godot.

Ah some companies charge for calling their customer support, which kind of sucks because there’s a reason people call customer support (I guess it’s to scare people off from actually contacting them?) and it could get very expensive. I’m glad that wasn’t the case for you, though! That would’ve been super expensive.

That must’ve been an expensive phone call. I hate when they leave you waiting for ages and then charge extra even though it’s wasting your time, not theirs.

But that’s assuming everyone brings their phone along everywhere and not everyone knows how to scan a QR code or even (think elderly people, for example) owns a smartphone.

I do agree that it’s more sanitary, though. I did go to a place a while ago that had a QR code on the table which I thought was really cool, actually. Because it allowed me to place my order on my phone and even pay on my phone. But they offered a physical menu as well.
