Some excellent advice, this is a really great post!

Personally I’ve opted to stick with DDG for now, its some what centred around privacy, whilst thats probably not much when it comes to tracking I at least appreciate the illusion. Search works good enough about 90% of the time and it allows you to easily switch off the AI BS so you can search the web like a normal search engine.

I’ve used others like Ecosia which I thought was not terrible but not great either. I used searchxng for a while and the results were always much more interesting but I would find it to be a bit more unreliable. I also tried Gibiru which I found to be one of the better privacy central search engines, it was fairly reliable but also had a good balance of unique results too.

Kagi, I tried this out but there is something about this search engine which I just don’t like. I get the whole idea of paying for it because they don’t sell your data but something about it just feels shady and a bit like a cash grab on people who are eager for a privacy focused situation but don’t want to think about it too hard.

No clue on the lyrics but the melody along with the lyrics are excellent

Surely with the money they would save in licensing they can hire more support staff to help bridge the gap

Reddit removed access to the API and broke all the great third party apps and features which the community designed. Reddit is still a community but its not free to decide how things are governed or what features are or are not allowed.

Reddit turned into exactly the same as every other social media and lost what was truly good about it.

I use Lemmy daily, the least I can do is throw a bit of cash at the Devs!

Yeah, but their job is like reeeally hard!! They deserve it. /s

Australians for the most part hate US style politics. But the rich billionaires in Australia are stupid enough to not realise that and wasted millions of dollars basically forcing people to go for the centre left option.

The Australian Labor Party I reckon ran a similar campaign as always, its the right which tried to do something different and it totally back fired on them, just the exact same as it did in Canada.

It really does give me some faith in humanity

I only know her as Kala. She is amazing!!

Everyone is totally different when it comes to medication I find. I tried the stimulant types myself and they ended up overwhelming me and giving me very bad anxiety if I wasn’t able to get tasks completed.

I switched to a non-stimulant version and definitely don’t feel any of the same things I used to feel.

I’m just trying to iterate that meds aren’t always perfect even when they are an option.

I think for the most part though, my biggest help has been knowing I have ADHD and just having to learn to give myself breaks when I need it and not be so hard on myself when I’m not able to push myself to complete certain tasks.

ADHD is amazing when you find something you’re so interested and passionate about, however those things can sometimes be few and far between and you can’t expect your brain to behave in a neurotypical manner in those other instances. Don’t hold yourself to unreasonable standards.
