Without going into too much detail...

• 21
• Dropped out of Uni (ie. I've started falling behind 'the pack')
• Still living with my parents (have lived alone for periods)
• Frustrated, have been repeating the same mistakes and life is currently going in a loop.
• Not fully settled on a specific career
• Thinking of a couple of nuclear options I could try to move things on.

I want to know if I have reason to stress or if I should just give it time and enjoy the ride. Seeing as any sort of renewed degree-pursuing will eat up another several years starting anew from square one.

Edit: Thanks for all of this life advice everyone. It is genuinely really reassuring

I'm studying for a test and the only resources I have are the presentations and somebody's notes in text form. It's a knowledge-retrieval test (no counting/reasoning), and unfortunately I don't know what the questions look like so it seems I really will have to go through everything covered.

Now of course some inanimate notes and a PPT file are the most un-captivating learning format that a person with ADHD could face. One thing I'm good at is going down rabbitholes, so I thought about just googling questions I have about the things written on each page. But the notes go on for 60 pages and it would take a really really long time. I'm lost for ideas. Has anybody found any learning techniques that help when focusing on things as bland as this?

Sometimes I come accross a comment that provides really good insight about a topic, and I want to keep it around. The problem is that the save feature on Lemmy/Reddit just creates one massive pile of hundreds of comments. This defeats the point of saving it because when I later encounter the topic that it related to, I'd still have to dig through this massive pile to be able to find it – so the save feature has in fact not made it any more accessible. I feel like someone on the internet must have surely worked out how to catalog these snippets of text in a way that allows you to quickly find the ones relevant to what you're currently doing. Perhaps some sort of tagging/mind map system? What do you use? I have considered Google Keep but my Keep is already a mess as is.

When I was a kid I always liked going on Scout camps. I think what I liked specifically was:     

• It meant spending an extended period of time (whole days, with little break) in the same collective of 20+ people.
• I would drift between the various groups there, and would get to know everyone.
• The collective would experience new situations every few hours, or even just being bored together when 'nothing' was happening (when waiting for stuff etc.).
• (Possibly also the fact that there was an authority above us and we didn't decide things for ourselves..?)   

What I liked was how there was a strong feeling of community because we were all experiencing the same thing together. Being around people meant my mind was continuously in the present. For these reasons I feel that this is the environment I thrive in the most.    

Unfortunately this would only ever happen once or twice a year, and since I am 20 I wanted to ask if anyone can think of any job descriptions where this happens.

The first thing I thought of is working on a submarine but I was hoping for something a bit less radical. I thought this might be the experience in university dorms but it turns out that in my country dorms are pretty dead because with the exception of cooking, people stay in their rooms.

Sorry to be posting such a niche issue!
I'm using a 2008 Apple Keyboard with my Linux laptop connected via Bluetooth. When I'm in GNOME, typematic works fine, ie. repeated keystrokes are input when I keep holding down a key.
When I switch into TTY mode (I've forgotten what the correct term is), holding down a key does not repeat the character however. Does anybody have any clue how to enable this?
Thanks!

Other things I've tried:

• Checked the hid_apple options, none of them seem relevant.
• Typematic in TTY mode works on the internal laptop keyboard.

I always cook for myself alone which means I'm used to cooking just one portion, or 2 portions which I end up eating in one sitting anyway. I usually improvise my meals and my brain just seems hardwired to measure quantities for a single portion meal. Does anyone have any tips for scailing your cooking up to cook for groups?

I'm a sucker for non-flat UI themes. I've stuck to Adwaita for a long time cause it seemed to resist the trend of flattening everything, but recently I switched to GNOME 43 and now Adwaita's fully flat too. Does anyone know of any nice and crisp skeuomorphic themes? (besides the elementaryOS theme)

Also, it seems there are currently 3 active themes on my system: the legacy Gtk 3 theme, the normal Gtk 4 theme, and the libadwaita gtk4 theme. I've only found a way to change the first of those three (via Tweaks)...
