That sounds super cool, as I said I kinda hate computers I only turn on my desktop every now and then to play games or make music on it. You should definitely submit the patch. Is there a hacker space in your area you could maybe meet other people who like computers and that can also lead to career opportunities. Also you could meet other people who want to hack on your crazy ideas with you. Maybe start one if there isn’t one in your area.

The only reason I ever got into any computers/electronics was because I wanted a weird groove box, it turned out I just hated everything about it. Now I have a bunch of hardware lying around. I always hoped some one would help me build it but people were always just like you’re smart you can do it yourself. Since I just kinda hate doing it though it’ll never get done. Or maybe I’ll manage this school I’ve signed up to and it will be my graduation project let’s see. The untreated adhd sounds horrible, you should try treat that asap.

Anyways I hope my random advice is useful

The hacker space is a really great idea, I should look into that, thank you. Would love to find/make some Plan 9 weirdos in my area lol

Ooh I didn't know what a groove box was til I looked it up just now, looks cool but I'm sorry you found out you didn't like :(

I hope at least you can find good money in computers or get to work with them in some capacity related to things you like. Like... computers on the ocean... ocean computers... thinkin-lenin or even just getting to help people. I think I would hate most computer jobs lol cuz so much of it is the most useless shit

I gotta go to bed, am really tired, but it's been fun talking

A video that might help you. Yeah I have all the stuff lying around and the school I’m going to is for electronics and coding so the building a groove box idea would be a perfect final project so maybe I’ll manage to stick it through but I’m feeling insanely pessimistic. I’ll still try it though because I got nothing to loose. I’ve also been up for a day now.
