There seems to be a lot of confusion regarding your question from users. If I understand it correctly, you’re wondering about when the human species became less of hunter-gatherers and more socially adept animals and when and why societal progress started suppressing aggressive behaviours in tribe-based expansion and control.

You referencing “protohuman traits” makes it a bit harder however since protohumans are before our own species of homo sapiens but I could imagine that a lot of those traits are closely related to early homo sapien society.

I don’t have a lot of answers for you but I think the answer maybe lies in sociological studies and things like Social Contract theory. Maybe it’s that slowly people got more rights to not be hurt by others because they could bring value to society as a whole in other ways and with the invention of agriculture, things like jobs became more viable and governments formed with laws then religion came along and what not too heavily influencing rights and wrongs.

Mines an LCD. So I don’t really worry about burn in on it. However my portable monitor is an OLED which I do worry about burn in on so I have my screen off time quite low.

My Steam Deck has been my primary and only PC for almost 2 years. My laptop that I had broke and instead of buying a new one I decided to buy adapters and a portable monitor. I rarely game on it but manage my homelab and do web development.

I’ve been trying some different distros over time and currently I’ve been sticking with NixOS, however it’s been giving me some minor inconveniences here and there so I’ve been thinking of moving back to Nobara again.

When I do game I never really leave desktop mode and just play it normally. Lately I’ve been playing Peak, No Man’s Sky, Stardew Valley and occasionally some VRChat.

Overall, it’s great, my steam deck works well as a secondary screen while plugged into my monitor. I place my chats and stuff there and then I do whatever else on the main screen.

I’ve always found the installation process of Debian unintuitive for people not used to linux. But I could imagine that it’s probably abreally good contender once the packages are installed and the DE setup with any necessary extensions for file browsers and other programs, for example preview of files in Nautilus for GNOME. Unsure if that is automatically installed or not in Debian but could be a good idea to check.

I’d suggest trying a test install in a VM if you can to check how well Debian will hold after configuration. Package updates for my Debian servers happens every once or so week and with a DEs GUI package manager it could simplify the process of the user actually hitting the update button.

I once bought these chocolates that had a outer coating making them look like decorative rocks.

My mum loves to have little rocks as decoration so I bought a pack and decided to surprise her with it. Out of nowhere in front of her I decided to bite through one and she was in shock looking at me as she slowly realised they were edible. They looked extremely convincing.

They were pretty damn hard tho. Nothing too bad however.

It’s an interesting topic me and my friends have discussed for a long time. On one hand, putting ease of use and user experience behind a paywall is terrible but on the other developers deserve compensation. Not everyone can donate and others doesn’t even figure that it’s an option.

Pangolin I think does it very kindly by having a button on the lower left of the interface that you can click on and then also dismiss to hide that button for a week which I find a good common ground. But at the same time I also think it’s hard to justify hate towards projects that lock things behind a paywall.

Of course if you lock security features like OIDC/LDAP like some do or self-hosting to “Local Infrastructure” it’s pure BS. I think there’s a lot of nuance to what should and shouldn’t be done in the matter but as long as it’s still open source it’s good in my book. Like self hosting Bitwarden gives you access to the paid features or you can pay them the small fee to not self host it and get some extra QoL features.

People do in the end have to juggle software maintenance, community maintenance, organizing issues, planning features and implementations, keeping wiki and docs up to date, etc. On top of, I’m assuming in most cases, having to do a regular job too. I know for a fact I wouldn’t be able to do that at all so if they can get some motivation through either code contribution or monetarily it would potentially ease up things.

You just made me unlock a new fear

While you’re right that it’s not an explicit ADHD thing, it is very much a symptom of it. How To ADHD made a video about motivation and points out some of the emotional aspects of it here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OM0Xv0eVGtY which can cause the problematic low self-esteem and people-pleasing behaviour. But there has been a lot of connections with ADHD and Rejection Sensitive Dysphoria which can further connect to the behaviours in the OP.

Another good Additude article was written from a question sent in, “How can I stop people-pleasing at work?”.

In short: Everyones ADHD affects everyone differently but this definitely has strong connections to ADHD.

Thank you yet again for doing these! <3

It’s exceptionally well as always!

Dan… I fucking love you. Thank you for this writeup. Not only is it helpful but it gives me encouragement to continue finding ways and figure things out.

I couple years back when I did my photography education we had an assignment to create a photo book as our final “exam” thing. I decided to document and show the daily life of a blind man and his tools and what he’s had to go through as his blindness got worse over the years. He showed me how he uses his computer and phone and such so I really really saw the importance of accessibility.

Somewhat luckily I’ve been able to keep the forms somewhat sane due to using component libraries which implement accessibility well. I always make my things in SvelteKit which does have good support for accessibility and I always keep my colours contrasty with as close to as AAA as possible because it’s easier on my own eyes too hahaha.

There’s a national deaf-blind association nearby and I’ve been thinking of going there to chat about accessibility and website usage with them one day.

I’m working on digitizing the book I made into a website and of course want to make that website extroniously accessible so even a blind person can hear through descriptive wording of what’s happening in the images. I also plan to make a scrolly-type thing using as little JS as possible which is nicely achievable now with the CSS scroll modifiers that’s been added over the years.

It’s going to be exciting to see how everything will work out. I can’t thank you enough, while my only computer is a Steam Deck where running VMs is a bit so and so I’m gonna see if I can use some public computer or see if someone in the association can help me test things out and fix things from there.

One thing I’ve had troubles with when trying to implement accessibility is in web dev. There’s so many attribute tags and I think a few different software based standards as well? I’m not entirely sure. The documentation on it felt a bit hard to follow and implement. Then I’m not sure how to go about testing it fully either without having those proprietary softwares either. I’m on an all Linux machine and the only accessibility software I know of is Orca and it’s so and so last time I tried it.

While I slowly figure that out however I make sure to follow tag recommendations and keep things in sections, only one h1 tag per page, descriptive and short alt tags, and so forth. At least that helps a tiny bit.

The amount of this shit I’ve seen everywhere is ridiculous. Not too long back I saw a YouTube channel about ADHD called The Mini ADHD Coach, it was animated, well spoken, thorough about their own experiences regarding their childhood and societal differences, titles were a bit clickbaity but it’s YouTube so what is one to do? By the end and in the description they where shilling their book which was a glorified ADHD questionaire to answer the question of “Do you have ADHD?”. Basically a non-medical self assessment book based on the DSM and questions used in American evaluations.

The book is priced 31 USD, added in it was some drawings and I guess some further explanations of the questions. Which you could just, search up and search explanations and definitions of words as well if you need.

I have a strong distaste on how people are monetizing and trending neurodivergent disorders. It’s a disability, not your next money machine.

I always had a very hard time with getting into more serious web dev outside of basic CSS and HTML and then I found SvelteKit and followed a video tutorial to build around my own project I had at the time for an internship.

Since Svelte follows the more usual layout of HTML tags it was really familiar for me to understand rather than jumping into something that’s JSX based. So if you want to get into web dev I can heavily recommend that!

I had the same thought but found his website and the art style is a bit different. https://jeffleejohnson.com/horror-gallery.html

I am curious about who it is now tho, can’t really tell from the watermark in the bottom right corner.

Thank you so much for making these! It’s great to see if there’s anything I’ve missed!
