Someone had mentioned AC may be fixed by the .NET4 fix in the last update - https://feddit.uk/comment/6293633 I've not tested it yet and it doesn't look like anyone has posted on ProtonDB with that updated Proton version, so it's only a "maybe".

Any experience with teaching kids Linux? in c/linux@lemmy.ml

It's obviously not representative of the overall Linux experience but I recently realised that messing around on the Linux bits in ChromeOS would be a pretty good way to learn Terminal things, at least for Debian. It's sandboxed so it doesn't matter if you screw up and if you do it's like two or three clicks to start afresh, way simpler than setting up and resetting a standard VM for the inexperienced. It, of course, means using a ChromeOS device but maybe that can be a secondary lesson on having megacorps profit from your data.

I never had Boris pegged as a 'high thoughts' aficionado. Top notch nonsense.

Man who would have access to the best healthcare in the UK despite being a major part of pushing the NHS beyond breaking point asks, "Would herd immunity be so bad?"

Never start vaping, says 12-year-old girl with lung damage in c/unitedkingdom@feddit.uk

Exactly. Banning tobacco outright isn't going to stop smoking, it'll just create a black market. And we know how effective that has been for 'real' drugs. Smoking has been naturally declining in popularity anyway, so it really just feels like Tory posturing.

Anyone here play Sunday league football in the UK? in c/askuk@feddit.uk

[-] HaunchesTV@feddit.uk 5 points 1 year ago

For clarity, I've also not played since I was a kid. But it's definitely possible to improve, especially if it's been a long time since you played consistently. Remember it's "only" Sunday league; no one is expecting you to be the next Jamie Vardy. It's admirable that you're taking it up again off your own back. Give it time and don't pressure yourself too much.

My Feelings About Nando's After A Recent Visit To The UK in c/casualuk@feddit.uk

I swear the extra flavour in their extra hot sauce makes it less hot than the hot one. Or maybe the extra hot burned my tastebuds to a crisp.

Do neurotypicals really not have to do this? I'm seriously asking. in c/adhd@lemmy.world

[-] HaunchesTV@feddit.uk 1 points 1 year ago

Many ADHD traits are shared with neurotypicals

Then it's not an ADHD trait.

Your friendly reminder to stay hydrated (feddit.uk)

It's a hot one out there for a lot of us today so remember to take a water bottle with you, keep drinking and refill it when it's empty. Also avoid staying in direct sunlight for long periods of time wherever possible.

This is especially true if you're taking stimulant medications as these may dehydrate you, making you more susceptible to heat exhaustion and sunburn.

Refill can show you the locations of water fountains where you can refill your bottle for free.

Everything has its place (feddit.uk)

If you keep misplacing something, keep it in a set place or places in each room and discipline yourself in doing so until it becomes habit.

It's usually best to put something in the first place you think of when trying to find it, even if it might look out of place there.

As an extension to this, I've found putting most of my day-to-day things in a bag/backpack etc. helps the most. It's whatever works best for you but I always keep my keys, meds, cards and a USB cable in my bag, and that goes out with me basically everywhere. Just make sure you're not carrying half your life around with you!

I hope that this can be a positive, safe space for discussion around ADHD in the UK.

Please feel free to get involved. Rant if you must.

Rules can be found in the sidebar.

To get things started I'll occasionally post general tips (I guess the kids would call them "hacks") on dealing with ADHD day-to-day.

A~~n icon and~~ banner will be added at some point.

~~I'll also add some links to other ADHD spaces in the Lemmy-sphere to the sidebar once the influx of new users has settled down and we have more clear-cut communities taking shape.~~

For now, remember to eat and stay hydrated. The doomscrolling can wait!

Update 1: An icon has been added. The banner will be added whenever I'm struck by inspiration. If anyone has any suggestions for it then please DM it to me

Update 2: Made rules less wordy. Added 'Other Communities' and 'Other Resources' to sidebar.
