The number of people in college that didn’t know Office has built-in citation management boggled me. Or how tab stops work. Or how to use fricking styles and page templates instead of setting everything manually (that one goes for PowerPoint as well).

…then again, most of them used Google Docs. sigh

It’s okay, we don’t feel bad for us either.

Seems more accurate anyway, it’s not like the concept of recycling even exists digitally. I understand why Windows did it way back when to raise awareness of recycling, but nowadays it’s just a bit silly.

I don’t think the ADHD necessarily gets worse, it’s more often that the consequences get worse.

I.e. the intensity of the disorder relative to a given set of stimuli doesn’t increase, but the average significance of the stimuli (and consequently the outcome of one’s reaction to them) does increase.

You could argue that’s a meaningless distinction, but perhaps it’s a helpful change in perspective for someone.

Be the change you want to see in the world yourself.

Fake it 'till you make it feel it.

Honestly, it always goes back to the seven deadly sins. In this case, I’d say greed and gluttony are most relevant.

Like @pathos said, that’s the list from the previous step. Because you’re autoremoving, it will only remove packages that aren’t dependencies of any other packages still installed.

For anyone reading this on a Debian-based system, you can get a good start without risking removing anything important like this:

1. Run apt-mark showmanual, and copy any package names you don’t think you need into a list.
2. Run apt-mark auto <pkg1> <pkg2> ...
3. Run apt autoremove

Just install the Auto Tab Discard extension. After a certain amount of time it will replace your loaded tab with a (RAM-free) placeholder that reloads when you click it again. Me, my ADHD brain, and my 500 tabs can be at peace now.

This doesn’t deserve to be so clever. Ugh. compunctious grin
