Iirc, spotlight update stole a bunch from Alfred, but Alfred can still do way more. So far I've used:

Windows:

• Keypirinha
• Flowlauncher

Linux:

• Ulauncher
• Albert
• Rofi (more specifically, Rofi Wayland)

Out of them all, Rofi is the most complex, but the most rewarding. I have a Rofi script launcher that I found and edited from github here.

So far I've managed to edit the lock and logout script to work on Wayland KDE and then downloaded rofi-games to slot it into where the window switcher should be (its great, has all my Steam titles, Lutris titles, and even my Prism Launcher modded Minecraft instances).

Meta-Space will bring up my power menu to shutdown, logout, etc. Alt-Space will bring up the app launcher, but I can shift-arrow to filesystem to browse for documents or folders to open, commands to run simple terminal commands, or rofi-games to launch any game.

I'm short a window switcher, but it doesn't seem to work on Wayland afaik. I'm more used to alt-tabbing anyway.

Here's my anxiety/ADHD journey:

Lexapro: Could not orgasm. My elbows became weirdly restless and I couldn't sleep for more than four hours. Started becoming manic. I didn't want to commit suicide, but the idea didn't really upset me, either.

Zoloft: Everything with the Lexapro except the anorgasmia.

Wellbutrin: Angry as all hell for two weeks, then that gave way into a drooling stupor where I was content to just do nothing. At least with my ADHD I could do half of something.

Duloxetine: Ever wanted to sleep more than a day? Take this. I couldn't stay awake for more than two hours at a time before sleeping 5-10 hours again. Also had a side effect called "excessive, disrupting, and disturbing yawning". I'd have yawn attacks that would last 20-30 yawns. They were actually kind of frightening.

In the end I wound up going back to Kratom. None of the above worked for me. I seemed to have every side affect in the book.

Edit: I will make an honorable mention for Hydroxyzine. Its like a super benadryl. Its like... part anti-histamine, part anti-anxiety, and part pain reliever. Its generally super safe; it doesn't mess with your body's chemical balance.

That means you can take a hydroxyzine with most other meds and safely drink on it (it does compound the dizzyness and sleepyness so do NOT drive). Here's the good part: with ADHD one standard pill will put you into a calm focus and you'll feel awake (roughly 4-6 hours). Two at bedtime has the severe side effect of pillow drooling. You'll go night night and it won't force you to sleep (which tends to give me even worse panic attacks).

And it is EXTREMELY easy to get a prescription for, since its probably one of the safest and least mind altering anti anxiety you can take.

Not to mention it actually does happen by birth very rarely. Latent genetic traits can pop up generations later.

Big corp exploiting the wage workers? Who'da thunk it...

Imagine if we all stopped doing the "little jobs".

Ich habe vier Jahre auf Deutsch gelernt, aber mein Deutsch ist sehr schlecht.

Honestly, I couldn't even remember if Deutsch was feminine, masculine, or neuter... but my pronunciation has always been spot on at least. I should just pick it back up, it'd be mostly vocab grind for me at this point. But I last learned years and years ago... dang, almost 18 years now.

Me: ...I forgot what I was going to put here, but rest assured it was something clever.

I'm an extroverted introvert type when it comes to my ADHD. I used to be much more extroverted than I am now. I had a good group of friends in high school, and a lot of off-on friends because they'd get sick of me routinely.

However, there was one friend who was also ND. If you got us in a group together we would go on and on, way too oxerexcited to care about anything else. My friend would get jealous of me "monopolizing" her, because "she was his friend first". My ex-girlfriend would get jealous of her because it seemed like I got along better with her than my own gf.

Everyone thought we were perfect for each other. Everyone thought we were secretly having an affair. The truth is we were two ND that understood each other in a school full of people who believed ADHD was fake and an excuse to be lazy. We were the two most hyper and flighty people in our entire school.

Did she wind up having a crush on me? Yes. She later told me. Before that, though, she once handcuffed us together and had us walk around town, I sorta figured it out then. Did I have a crush on her? Also yes. But in the end we understood that it couldn't work. Her plus me equalled absolute pure chaos and sometimes not in a good way. We ran in two completely different groups and worlds.

It was nice to have someone who was just as "annoying" as I was though.

So that's what it means to think outside the box. I've always wondered.

I love list launchers, but I just can't stop using Kvaesitso. It has a list mode for apps and one optional dock for your first x amount of favorites. But it really shines when it comes to widgets. Swipe up to go through a widget list.

I need to have my two coffee timers and one tea timer widget as well as my step counter and audiobook player, so I need something with widgets and Kvaesitso does it so well.

Same, but rather than not wanting to pay its more like I can't afford to pay.

I used just plain command prompt for a long time when I was on Windows, but I did find a nice one called Tabby. The only problem is getting it to run as your default terminal.
