I spent two years stumbling through learning Home Assistant just so I could make custom sensors to alert me all through the house when my laundry is done.

Worth it.

Absolutely. The most useful "habbit" I have for managing my ADHD is being brutally honest with myself at all times.

If you learn to reflect on your patterns and feelings, you start getting a good idea early on when you're gonna be in one of those dysfunction days.

Best thing I've found to do about it is "take the day off". If I know everything is gonna be uphill in a unique way, I take it easy. If I'm at work, I try to focus on the most accessible micro-tasks, or "tedious" things that take zero cognitive work.

For me those days are a sign of burnout and I know little will be accomplished if I force myself to overwork that day anyway. So I prioritize resting my brain. Sometimes it means doing nothing at all, sometimes it means video games or folling around with in GarageBand with a keyboard and bass.

Letting your brain do whatever random bullshit it's craving can be just as restful as doing nothing. Sometimes these days can actually be really productive for my hobbies, or housework, or spouse time, just depending on what my brain wants.

My girlfriend and I both have ADHD, but meditation has always been easy for me, especially at night.

You don't have to do anything special, it can be while your in bed before sleep, for some people it's just helpful to create a ritual or activity around it to occupy the part of your brain that's liable to fixate on stress.

I've tried sitting with her for a guided meditation app she likes, but it makes it harder for me. Sometimes I feel like Ron Swanson talking outside the meditation class. "I have no idea what these guys are doing, my mind was completely blank"

Honestly one of the reasons I fell for a pyramid scheme coming out of high school.

A friend invited me and I went to shit on it and get him out, but the main guy's whole thing was "everything is a pyramid scheme, at least here you have the chance to build a pyramid beneath you."

Obviously there were other reasons as old as time, but the argument of "so what, your 'regular job' is already a pyramid scheme you can't win" was pretty rattling to a teenager in 2011.

Nowadays, everybody is trying to talk, like they have something to say. But nothing comes out when they move their lips, just a bunch of gibberish, like they forgot about Dre.

From what I understand, most good pranks are about putting things in Jello and rearranging furniture

Nothing to do with users. Operating systems don't support it in their default file managers and viewers.

Nobody has beef with the annual developer fee.

The problem isn't even that they want to charge 30% for processing app payments. They can charge whatever they want for their own services.

The problem is that Apple prevents users from installing any apps from outside their own app store, then bans developers from using any other service but Apple to process payments. It's anticompetitive 101.

If Apple allowed 3rd party app stores or let apps implement their own payment processing, there would be no issue here.
