Audhder here - work remotely, more likely to be able to get work done!
stranded22··on Ask HN: ADHD – How do you manage the constant stream of thoughts and ideas?
Pardon?

This comment literally shows why you do not understand ADHD.

Reckon people haven’t TRIED?

And how dare you call someone lazy if they have ADHD?!?

I’m the hardest working person I know - but because of meds, I have been able to focus better. My long term planning is 0, and my executive function is low. But sure, I’ll just try a bit more.

Smh.

stranded22··on Circumcision classed as possible child abuse in draft CPS document
Good. It is barbaric and mutilation.
stranded22··on NextDNS is my new favourite DNS service (2020)
That’s by someone who hasn’t discovered controld.
stranded22··on Ask HN: Resources to get better at outbound sales?
When I first started new business sales, I used the sales bible by Jeffrey gitomer. He’s written quite a few books and I found them useful.
stranded22··on Seven diabetes patients die due to undisclosed bug in Abbott's glucose monitors
What the f is ‘early stage’ and ‘advance staged’ diabetic?

My wife is a T1D - you’re either diabetic or not.

Freestyles are not reliable to be used purely for managing immediate levels of glucose - it is more about trends and give an idea of whether it is going up or down.

This appears to be an education issue, for the users and also for the writer.

stranded22··on How did DOGE disrupt so much while saving so little?
Because it was about Elon musk’s companies getting out of being investigated. His pay off for helping Trump.
stranded22··on Ask HN: How many people got VPNs in response to laws like UK Online Safety Act?
Controld can route the dns through different countries, so I expect you could combine with wind scribe vpn?

I route twitter and Reddit through Moldova to avoid ads

stranded22··on Don't push AI down our throats
That’s something that really pisses me off - I WANT to use the Gemini pro that is £1.50 more than the £7.99 subscription I was originally paying Google; I said no to using my data to train the AI, and I can’t have history. That’s just ridiculous and means I won’t use it for anything more than maybe images. I’ve had a discount with Claude and that works well for me (audhd translator mostly).
stranded22··on Shopping research in ChatGPT
I’m starting to research (hyperfocus) in this area for affiliate marketing.

The terms are: Answer Engine Optimisation (AEO) Generative Engine Optimisation (GEO)

(s>z for American cousins)

stranded22··on ADHD and monotropism (2023)
It’s disregulation.

Not being able to focus on the things you need to focus on (or doing the boring routine stuff).

I’m audhd which adds a bit of extra fun - diagnosed adhd in August. Meds have been amazing

stranded22··on As Ellison Buys Out TikTok, US Moves Toward One-Party Media
Harris may have called for it, but the incitement and Jan 6th was the cause for Facebook and Twitter to suspend his account.

Positioning any other way is to lead the conversation unjustly.

stranded22··on Orion Browser
Just wish there was a windows version too. I want my browser bookmarks / experience to be shared across windows, iPad and iPhone.
stranded22··on When circumvention is more popular than compliance
DNS routing with controld is sufficient.
stranded22··on Tesla sales drop for fifth month in a row in Europe
In 2023, it made 30% of its net quarterly income from carbon credit sales. That’s substantial.

stranded22··on Tesla sales drop for fifth month in a row in Europe
I thought it was really successful as a company due to all the carbon credit handouts it received from government, which it sold to the other car companies.

That, and the lies from the man who owns a social media company (albeit later)

stranded22··on uBlock Origin Lite Beta for Safari iOS
AI company?

I thought Orion is made by Kagi?

stranded22··on Ask HN: Does anyone know of a general news site akin to Hacker News?
I’m disappointed to find that it is a news /politics sub
stranded22··on 99% of AI Startups Will Be Dead by 2026 – Here's Why
Whilst I liked some of the article, I got very bored with the structure and after about half way, I skimmmed it.

If you are going to write about AI companies going to be extinct next year, could you please write it without the use of AI? It turned very formulaic.

And the fact it was calling something a scam because it was packaged up? That’s the same as anything that’s packaged - may as well buy 6 apples and take home to wash/cut rather than the prepackaged/cut ones.

Some thought provoking ideas though - spoiling by the link to get early access to a local AI

stranded22··on Google's AI Mode is 'the definition of theft,' publishers say
When the quality content continues to disappear, then they will care - and it will be too late.

We’re talking Future Publishing or even NYT here…

stranded22··on Continuous glucose monitors reveal variable glucose responses to the same meals
She’s on closed loop and it has certainly changed her life - perimenopause was really difficult but the loop has meant she has much better control. The fact it cuts out when it drops has given her confidence to sleep better etc
stranded22··on Continuous glucose monitors reveal variable glucose responses to the same meals
Thank you, I’ll check it out
stranded22··on Continuous glucose monitors reveal variable glucose responses to the same meals
Yep.

My wife is T1D and this is infuriating for her.

She’ll think that she’s cracked it, and then the next day, with the same meal at the same time, her sugar levels go high.

Her words: there is nothing else where you have studied for over 30 years and STILL feel like you know nothing.

It is incredibly demoralising for her sometimes - especially when she’s suffering also from a high/low sugar level. I have the upmost respect for anyone having to do the amount of work, to get to zero (sometimes).

stranded22··on Why are there no thunderstorms in the UK?
There ARE thunderstorms in the UK - just not as many as other places… I live in south east England and see a few a year.
stranded22··on Try Switching to Kagi
I pay for family plan. It is a little steep to pay $20/month but does mean I feel much better about my 12 year old using a search engine unsupervised (I use controld for blocking/monitoring, have windows 11 locked down as well as iOS locked down too).
stranded22··on Android Isn't the Anti-iPhone Anymore
Re cassette adapter- get a aux to Bluetooth adapter, power by cigarette lighter. I did this with my old 2009 Honda and the cd/aux - worked well either pairing. The adapters don’t cost very much.
stranded22··on Plane crashes, overturns during landing at Toronto airport
Just for a different point of view, my wife is Type 1 Diabetic - no way she’d be leaving her medical stuff.

It’s probably not that, but is possible.

stranded22··on U.K. orders Apple to let it spy on users' encrypted accounts
This was before the current government.

With ChatGPT integration with iOS 18.2, the stickiness is starting to appear
