Thinking this is a cool new meme
Realizing I’ve already liked it
I almost want to block this community because it’s just too close to home.
So then I almost starred this.
Turns out I have 19 pages of Lemmy bookmarks in the browser, just from a year. On top of bookmarks scattered across many browsers.
I haven’t looked through them once.
…Shut up. Covers ears.
it’s come to the point where I have 3 different knowledge bases each with 10 nonstop months worth of content and ideas help ;- ; I have 400 (yes 400) tabs open in Firefox.
I better bookmark this post
A few weeks ago I managed to sit down for a few hours to put all my ongoing tasks and projects in fucking project management software in order to be able to follow it up better. I’m now afraid of opening the software to look at the mountain of collected work therein.
I’ve got so many dead tasks management tools that I spent a day setting up.
Oh, but have you tried [insert software that has 8-billion tools, all of which you ignore and you just use as a notepad]?
I finally began to just purge everything, its a whole project trying to sell off my projects though so now my living room is a warehouse of boxes and bubbles wrap I’ve been bringing home from work
I’m beginning to suspect I have an undiagnosed problem
I realized that even if the archive is unwieldy, the act of saving satisfies the itch. So I’m not saving to necessarily look at it later. I’m saving so that the annoying part of my brain fucks off and I can enjoy my day in peace.
I really appreciate this viewpoint. Most of the satisfaction I get is from bookmarking and organizing my bookmarks. That being said, I routinely go through my bookmarks and revisit things.
I managed to finish writing a poem after more than 6 months. I hope I can finish my academic paper soon as well. Man, life is fucking hard.
Go do 20 minutes on your paper.
What’s 20 minutes?
You got this!
Life is fucking hard, but a step at a time can make it more bearable. I believe in you SexualPolytope
Thanks lol. I do intend to finish by this weekend. But then I planned it last weekend too. Let’s see how it goes lol.
Look at all those things yesterday-me was interested in.
Nah, you just need to become the other kind of ADHD.
You laugh but I’m glad Ive got a picture of my driver’s license favorited so I can find my license number easily without having to get up and find my wallet when some random form wants it.
Never mind that I still remember my Windows 95 license key but can’t remember my own driver’s license number.
Never mind that I still remember my Windows 95 license key
…h…how many times did you have to reinstall Windows 95?*
*Before 98 came out? Lol
IT professional… SO MANY TIMES. Any not just reinstall, we were upgrading and doing primary installs.
I knew a 95 key and an office key. (which was easy because 1201234567 worked on O2k
This makes so much sense hahaha.
Probably giving away my years, but in my brain’s personal experience, Windows starts being an IT OS around the XP era. :p
Nobody was going to stay on 3.11
NT really lacked drivers and was super expensive.
We used 95, skipped 98 until se came out. We did a fair amount of Win2k, XP was pretty rough until service pack 2. When Serviceback 3 hit, we eradicated everything else on the desktop.
A lot. I had a Packard Bell 486 that came with 3.1 and a free upgrade. Except I would constantly get “Explorer.exe has performed an illegal operation and will be shut down” error.
One day I decided to compress the hard drive and for some reason, that fixed it. It never happened again.
The most recent thing I remember losing is a website/blog explaining how video encoding works, and algorithm of different encodings; written by someone who has written different implementations in rust. It has really good explainations that I just skimmed through, bookmarked it, then lost it. If the other ADHD folks have ever seen something like that, please let me know, I’ll have to re-add it for that one day.
Facts lol 😂
OOF
