thanks.dev and OpenCollective I think have had good concepts behind them. The main issue is that plenty of people have the same attitude/entitlement towards open source as if it’s a paid service or large company

That’s amazing, it’s the complete opposite in the US haha

Just to clarify, all the Lemmy servers you can join are interconnected as if they are just one big platform with the same content, so the experience is pretty much the same regardless of the server you join. The server you choose is just your door into the Lemmyverse.

Each server may have slightly different policies, but ultimately the goal is that you don’t have to think about it (other than knowing which server you are a part of so you can log in). However, it’s smart of you to consider how big a server is as some of the small servers might be more likely to shut down due to lack of maintainers or funding. That’s the main downside to the not-for-profit, decentralized nature of Lemmy/Fediverse—but so worth it in my opinion.

If you’re interested Vite is a common build tool for preprocessing a bunch of different files so they can be served efficiently—and there’s plugins for it for image processing where everything is handled automatically

the sharp library (server side) and the HTML picture element (client side) might be relevant for what you’re trying to accomplish

100% all those simple ideas definitely work for anyone, but it usually takes far longer for someone with ADHD to implement these ideas and make them a habit on their own, and even more effort to keep the habit going. This is really confusing to someone without ADHD because in their own lives when they put effort in to changing something they usually see results somewhat quickly. Thus, they assume the ADHD individual does not care or have the desire to change because there’s no immediate visible results, or not as many visible results over a longer period of time

I totally agree with you, but it hits different when the advice is delivered by a close friend, boss, SO, etc. who is frustrated with you because they’re assuming your intentions are bad and they don’t respect you or trust you because they think you’re choosing to fail at certain things. When this is happening with most every relationship you have on a daily basis over 10, 20, 30+ years it can be a lot to handle

Probably could have worded that better but there’s no perfect analogy :/

I was trying to say that when you look at someone missing legs most people immediately understand certain areas of life are more challenging for them than for yourself. You might even treat them with more respect because of this and support them when you’re able.

However, looking at someone with ADHD, you can’t see their prefrontal cortex or neurotransmitters at all. Thus it usually doesn’t make sense why life could be more challenging for them than it is for yourself.

The reality is most of us default to projecting our own life experience on others as hard facts (sometimes leading to false assumptions other people’s intentions). We could all really benefit from looking at people around us with an openness and curiosity, knowing that there’s a lot we don’t know and can’t see

Like telling someone who’s missing both legs to get better shoes so they can keep up.

On the flip side, someone with legs isn’t gonna understand the point of prosthetics because it would be totally useless to them.

ADHD has definitely opened my eyes to how much we humans subconsciously assume we know everything based on our own experiences.

Observation: almost nobody died from planes in 2020

Conclusion: we need to start more pandemics

Would love to see an optional monthly subscription to Lemmy where funds are automatically distributed based on how you used Lemmy that month. There would have to be a lot of research on how to avoid exploitation, but Open Collective might have some good examples of how to securely handle funds like that

“At least, that’s what everyone thought…”

*movie begins*

do you know of any more nostalgia communities by chance? :)

It does feel weird giving so much personal information to a person you just met online

Went with this one, thanks! Lots of other good recommendations in the thread too though

Oh wow I’ve never heard of that before, how did you discover you had that?

There’s been a lot of disproportionate hype around deepseek lately

Looks like the confirmation email showed up for them now

It’s a reasoning model so that’s what it’s supposed to do. It makes it more accurate with math and a slew of other things. It’s usually meant to be processed somehow so only the final output is shown

You can install n8n and and use it with Ollama to create some pretty cool chat workflows
