Neither am I. It’s just sad…
alexcleac@szmer.infoto Open Source@lemmy.ml•Google Keeps Making Smartphones WorseEnglish201·6 days agoRCS is a really nice thing in principle, because SMS/MMS infrastructure is just awfully outdated from security standpoint.
Though, replacing SMS/MMS infrastructure which is internetless yet cross-carrier by making it a internet-first and tied to a single meta-carrier under the hood kind of defeats the purpose overall. There was an attempt to build an independent carrier-deployable implementation of RCS, yet it turned out to be bought off by Google :(
They have been for a while now. It’s just that now it kind of becomes obvious
alexcleac@szmer.infoto ADHD@lemmy.world•What is an ADHD hack to sit in a meeting for a whole week?English41·9 days agoIf it is a Zoom meeting, than I just allow myself to run around the room, listening to the meeting on the background.
Otherwise, if it is an in-person meeting, I do lots of things
- watch around, try to make notes of important things
- practice active listening, trying to validate my understanding by parahprasing statements I heard as questions to validate correctness of my understanding. Even if I can’t ask them — I write them down, this also forces the muscle memory to make me recall more
- if it is a presentation, I sometimes run further ahead, riding the content like waves — so when presenter gets to some point,
The most important thing, though, always is to accept the fact that you can miss some parts. Neurotypicals miss bits and pieces of information too — they just don’t think it is a bad thing, so it is fine if you miss something, or hear something incorrectly. It is completely fine to ask to repeat something, or to get some information later by asking your colleagues.
Wow, thanks for suggestion of Tdarr — that project indeed looks very nice. What is. your experience using it? Any quirks?
alexcleac@szmer.infoto Piracy: ꜱᴀɪʟ ᴛʜᴇ ʜɪɢʜ ꜱᴇᴀꜱ@lemmy.dbzer0.com•That was quickEnglish42·3 months agoYeah, having ability to make installation medium smaller by stripping away unused hi-res textures would be a really nice product feature.
I just a bit skeptical with having an old game requiring exponential increase hardware requirements with improvements limited just for some visuals. On the other hand, it could be WarCraft 3: Reforged situation, so, I guess now it is more of a “there is always space for improvement” situation.

alexcleac@szmer.infoto Piracy: ꜱᴀɪʟ ᴛʜᴇ ʜɪɢʜ ꜱᴇᴀꜱ@lemmy.dbzer0.com•That was quickEnglish51·3 months agoStaying with the original also for the performance reasons: UE5 makes it really hungry for resources, while original runs smooth and makes my computer not even turn on active cooling.
My issue is that if I don’t keep them in check, I can just rage out on people, and will just regret of it. Hence the distraction, to prolongue the emotion in time, and to make the emotion intensity curve less steep.
