You understand that technical people often are the least likely to trust new technology and are often stuck in the mud when it comes to technology? Doubly so if you are anti-corporation. It seems anything that isn’t the Unix way of doing things can be questioned.

There is a good meme about people who love technology vs people who actually work with the stuff. The former using IoT devices to turn their lights on while the latter uses a light switch and has a gun in case the printer starts making weird noises.

Yes, this is quite true.

Although we should spare a thought to the leftists doing this for political reasons who are also weirdos. Looking at hexbear, lemmygrad, and lemmy.ml in particular.

What? You mean the nation that funded several coups and made a mess of the middle east?

FreeTube breaks regularly and doesn’t have support for higher resolutions.

If your country is the USA I am not sure it’s worthy of protecting.

MIMO improves throughput if you have an Internet link it can saturate; realistically even a midrange 2x2 802.11AC router will provide more wifi bandwidth than your internet does.

And that’s where the fat controller says you are wrong. I have 1000 Mbps down. I’ve yet to actually hit that speed with WiFi 6.

Also newer WiFi standards significantly improve latency. That’s nothing to do with having more antennas though you would be correct there.

The meme is correct. A $6 ethernet cable beats any and all wifi routers and client adapters, and always will.

With current technology you would be correct. But as for the always part: Ethernet is an electrical signal, so it’s actually slower than microwave signals used by WiFi, and the WiFi signals can also take a more direct path. So in the future WiFi or LiFi could in fact be faster. It’s the processing delay, and scheduling that makes WiFi have higher latency. Not the physical medium.

Before you say this is all academic because of the small distances involved I would remind you that propagation delay is actually a large issue in current microelectronics and computers. Sometimes parts of the same chip are far enough apart to create problems for the engineers due to the high clockspeeds of modern devices.

It doesn’t even cost that much for a decent wifi AP either.

Oh I already knew about the alt one. I thought you were talking about IDEs lol. Was very sleep deprived when I read this the first time.

I like the middle click one. I knew you could use it to paste, but not copy.

What do those do?

I know some.of those names but have no idea what these people have done. Could you explain?

Trait alexithymia for the win

How did you end up with that lack of emotional capacity?

Vulkan is not the issue it doesn’t even get that far. Game doesn’t get through the setup wizard for installing libraries even.

Maybe it doesn’t work right with Wayland, or maybe my USE flags are too aggressive. I don’t know.

Yeah I wish that would play on my desktop. What I get for using Gentoo I guess. Might try running it on an actual desktop instead of a Window Manager. Who knows maybe that will make a difference.

Maybe I haven’t explained myself well enough. For many people it’s a choice not between prescription vs illicit. It’s a choice between illicit Adderall vs illicit cannabis, alcohol, nicotine, and anything else they can get their hands on. That’s what happens when people aren’t getting the medication and healthcare that they need. They take their problems to other substances and behaviors.

To be clear this isn’t something I would want to try unless I had no other option. I am lucky that my University does testing for ADHD, and am hoping to get tested one day. I also already have an autism diagnosis, so already get some support, meaning it’s not as high a priority for me as it is for someone completely undiagnosed.

I’ve already tried substances similar to amphetamine like cocaine, and honestly don’t find them that pleasant. I am not in any real hurry to try that again. So I also doubt amphetamines are my thing.

I do find it interesting though that stories like yours happen. I’ve tried some very dangerous and addictive things including xanax, valium, ketamine, amphetamine, nicotine as well as the previously mentioned cocaine and honestly none of them took. I can only conclude that either I have no addictive tendencies or that I haven’t tried the right class of substance yet. It’s almost impossible for me to imagine being in your position. I guess it comes down to genetics or something.

I will note as well that if you can become addicted to the street version then that means you would have become addicted to the doctor prescribed version eventually too given enough time. It’s similar to how pain patients end up addicted to opioids. I am glad you are doing better though.

Yes it’s not an ideal solution. If it’s between self medicating with other drugs versus getting the thing you should be prescribed with through illicit means I would choose the latter. Ideally healthcare would be free everywhere and getting a diagnosis wouldn’t take literal years or even a decade. That’s unfortunately not the world we live in. I have friends that were referred years ago on the NHS and are still waiting.

I am more talking about amphetamine rather than methamphetamine. Chemically it’s the same as Adderall, and you can find actual Adderall from the darknet or dealers as well.

Care to explain this statement?

Having to function in current society with ADHD I presume
