Does anybody experience certain moments or days with peaks of anxiety and dysfunction, but afterwards are fine? in c/autisticandadhd@lemmy.world
[–] SolarBoy@slrpnk.net 1 points 9 hours ago

I found this to be the case with people that systematically suppress their own emotions and feelings. Usually people who experienced trauma in the past (can be as simple as emotionally unavailable parents, or actual brain injury)

Searching for trauma-focused therapy could help you figure out why and what you are suppressing and try to allow those feelings to be (can be quite hard in the beginning though, give yourself lots of time for this)

Using LLMs can be useful, but will they increase anxiety in the long run? (slrpnk.net)
 

I've been thinking about how LLMs like ChatGPT change the expectation that at any time, anywhere, you will have the information you need at your fingertips.

It seems useful to cope with some difficulties in life at the beginning. (Similarly to having a smartphone with you at all times)

But over time it seems to increase anxiety because you feel dependent on these tools to be able to handle certain situations.

Every time I avoid using these tools but instead try to use a simple notebook or just think things through in my mind (When possible of course, definitely not when overwhelmed) . I feel like my capacity to do so slightly increases in future situations.

But when using these tools, even though it's easier and requires less effort in that moment, I feel more anxious in the future. (Especially when I don't have internet connection or my battery is running low)

Does anyone else have similar experiences?

I remember something about Pop!_OS offering the option to install proprietary nvidia drivers out of the box with no issues. But in the meantime that applies to a lot of distros actually.

I personally use NixOs for gaming and it works perfectly for me.

So what do the different symbols mean?

I see EU and US flags, so that's probably where a service is located.

Does the globe mean decentralised? (for things like mastodon, element)

Thanks for sharing!

I have a simple planck eotb, and carry it everywhere I go. It's really convenient. I think I got used to typing on it in only a couple of weeks, but spend the past few years tweaking my custom ambidextrous layout.

Some of my personal favorites are:

  • having backspace+ctrl combined on one key, enter+shift combined on another key.
  • Having enter and backspace on both sides of the keyboard, so I can use either hand to use them
  • Having a single hand numpad when holding a layer key. Very practical for number stuff.
  • Putting any computer to sleep, or changing volume without having to look for the right key on my keyboard.

I put together an olkb planck 40% kit years ago, and it's still my main keyboard for day to day use. (programming, gaming, writing, anything really) The main thing I like about it is that I can just put it in my backpack and carry it with me. It's nice to take my laptop to a cafe or library and still have my good keyboard with me.

I'm not even represented. 40 % anyone? nobody?
