Thanks very much!

I regret upgrading to 11 on my home machine. I want to either go back to 10, or just migrate to Linux Mint. Only two things stopping me from jumping is a) My graphics are Nvidia, and b) making time for it.

I haven’t used it in a while, but I liked Openshot when I found myself having to edit some video.

YAAAS! Thank you so much!

Please pardon the n00b question: I’ve installed the libredirect extension in my LibreWolf browser, and have installed the Freetuube app for Windows, but I’m still lost on how to get libredirect to point YT to Freetube?

I’ve been on staycation, and it’s been great. Mornings here have been in the mid to high 50s, and the morning sunlight is getting that hint of Autumn gold to it. I am more than ready for Fall. Going to get some organization projects done around the apartment. Might even start up some writing again. It’s more for my own entertainment, really. I don’t have the executive function to sit down and write a book in any semblance of a disciplined manner.

I just read down into the comments and see there are some of us struggling with identity issues. My sincerest hope for you is that you find your happiness, whatever form that may take. Please take care of yourselves. 🙏 🕉️

Howdy. 56 yo, here. I have ADHD, as well as dystymia. About two years ago, I had a pretty big spiritual awakening, and it’s really helped bring some of the things you mentioned into perspective for me.

“How do y’all not just get consumed by how you will be gone one day, how one day no one in the world will even remember you.” My grandparents have been gone a while. I haven’t forgotten them, the love they gave me, nor the wisdom and values they imparted to me. My high school chum Paul committed suicide while we were freshmen. I haven’t forgotten him, nor the time he stuck up for me on a high school road trip to Houston, TX (one of our fellow students wouldn’t stop smoking in the hotel room. I was having an asthma attack, so Paul clocked him with one of those souvenir foot long baseball bats you get at the games to get him to stop.)

It’s the little ways we impact people’s lives that matters. Our existence is impressed upon others in the time we share with them, not by Wikipedia pages, news articles, YouTube followers, etc. For me, my purpose is not stuff (though those Steam Decks do look pretty sweet), nor fame, nor even fortune. It’s about finally getting to a place in my life where I like myself, and extending that to those I come in contact with every day. And when the day comes when we finally shed this body, we’ll never really be gone, because we’ll have made a difference - no matter how big or small - to somebody somewhere in this world.

I wish you enlightenment, joy, and fulfillment. Now and always. 🙏 🕉️

I’ve only tried Liftoff, but I’m liking it so far.

I’m 56 years old, have ADHD, and have noticed my memory slipping. I’ve started writing down stuff in notebooks, and not just relying on apps. I always recommend the old school little black book for writing down your main password/passphrase. Keep it in your nightstand, or somewhere that’s easily retrievable.

I’m not looking for “the next Reddit”. I’m looking for community, and reddit lost any semblance of that years ago. If that means we’re a smaller instance, fine.
