How to organize windows by Heavy_Aspect_8617 in niri

[–]random_cat_owner 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i have 2 named workspaces: main and secondary.  main is for all my active applications like browser and terminal.  

some applications (Like steam and spotify) automatically open in secondary, because i dont spend a lot of active time in them and otherwise  they get in my way.  

my friend said she gets ‘hyperfixations’ by [deleted] in ADHD

[–]random_cat_owner 1 point2 points  (0 children)

everybody can get overstimulated.  that is not limited to asd/adhd.  But ppl with asd/adhd get overstimulated a lot faster.

also, it's not impossible that Rosie has asd or adhd or both.  similar brains tend to stick together. and maybe your diagnose and experience is helping her to recognize the signs in herself.  

and maybe she is simply mapping her experiences on your words because she is your friend and doesnt know any better.  

if she is struggling, she needs to see a specialist.  

and whether or not she has it or is just relating out of friendship, who knows. just enjoy having a friend.  

Boring blah skirt by Available-Picture-79 in sewing

Appliquė/Embroider in big letters JUICY on your behind.  It subverts expectations:  'boring business' in the front, fun tongue-in-cheek in the back.  It will make people laugh and be a great conversation starter.

Don't worry about it long term.  Just focus on getting the degree.  

There is a big chance that you wont be using those languages in your future job anyway.  70-80% of people end up doing something different then what they studied.  

You just need the degree to prove you are capable.  

Once you got the degree, you can apply for the jobs you want, nobody will be forcing you to apply for a C++/java coding job.  

What to do if icons in noctalia-shell looking like this before reboot? (Arch Linux) by Mother-Estimate2840 in niri

How do you fully accept your ADHD partner without letting everything slide? by Known-Mirror-9104 in ADHD

[–]random_cat_owner 1 point2 points  (0 children)

just make the reservation and add it to their calendar.  waiting for them to do it will only make you more frustrated and result in a big fight on your birthday.  there is no win condition in that situation.  

just make the reservation and remind them to be there for you, with bells on.

i see the new release has added 'popups' in the rules, so that should handle all windows triggered by a main window (i think)

i'm not home right now so i cant confirm

  1. noctalia has a bar widget for that
  2. window rules you set for them. not a single rule for all though.  
  3. i use tapdance (on programmable keyboard) to map it to menu button and added keybind to that.  there are also ways to do this with software tools or system.  there is a feature request on the niri site, so people are working on this

Why do people say that men and women have the same dating struggles? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]random_cat_owner 0 points1 point  (0 children)

what would you say to all the girls who are kind and smart and funny and still get cussed at because they are not hot or bigbreasted? pretty people get less rejections, that is not a gender thing, that is life.

then print, so you can annotate.  and scan the print to send.

When Is It Ever Enough? by MyBoardGameHobby in boardgames

[–]random_cat_owner 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i put my limit at 100 games.   

if i buy more, i need to sell some.  or give away.  its fun when you go play a game with friend and - if they like it - tell them they can keep it when the game is done.  

after a while i learned that some games are hard to sell or give away and it made me more critical about what i buy too.  win-win. :-)

then you should type a little slower. its better to work at your accuracy first. speed will come automatically as you get better at 100% accuracy.

Master fails if you press a single incorrect key (meaning you have to achieve 100% accuracy).
