Steam tells me about new releases that are in my area of interest. I'm mostly into multiplayer games so there are a few of us who keep an eye out and talk about upcoming games and stuff so it's not just up to me.

You don't crank up the clock speed for massively parallel workloads like rendering in blender. Higher clock speed is for single threaded workloads that need to go faster.

I can definitely Avalonia for cross platform UI. It's amazing.

I don't remember. Long ago. I'm sure much has changed.

I had low expectations for the show and was still disappointed. I really disliked it. Love the books though.

My issue with XMPP was the lack of synchronization between clients. If my mobile was offline while I was chatting on desktop, mobile client would never have the same chat history as desktop and my conversation history would be fragmented. When I asked about it on some developer forum, they basically just said that was out of scope for XMPP and should be implemented in client. Which sort of makes sense if the client is a web client hosted somewhere but I wanted a thin desktop client like pidgin.im

I liked my droid.

Honestly? I doubt anyone will think twice about it unless you talk about it a lot.

Regarding meds, the side effects are worse than I expected but the benefits are way better than I expected too. I wouldn't hesitate to take your doctor's advice in that area. Just having a baseline for how effortless it can be to handle complex tasks really puts into perspective how much more effort it takes for us. Your first few good days on Adderall or whatever will open your eyes. And if nothing else, you might learn to forgive yourself when you just can't spare the effort for something in the future.

My wife once sat in the room for a very long time before someone came to prep the room for the next patient...

Really common. Hard for many of us to not do this. It's the same when you're in technical support; people lie about the circumstances because they don't want to look bad in front of the techie. Or doctor. Or dentist. Or mechanic.
