At Apple’s IPO, Woz gave $10 million of his stocks to Apple employees. Jobs didn’t want to give any to employees. Seems like a good guy.

I thought VAST was some doctor’s proposal for a new name for ADHD. Because “Deficit” doesn’t really fit the disorder in reality.

Just reading that has put that song in my head for the rest of the day. Thanks!

My unscientific and uninformed observation is that social media, especially TikTok and Reels seem to mess with peoples’ dopamine reward systems and cause them to become very impulsive and have short attention spans. Either that or literally every single one of my coworkers under 30 also have ADHD.

Yeah dude! Why do I remember that too? Also IDKFA - guns & ammo? IDDQD - invincibility I think.

Sure thing, check your DMs.

Thanks. I generally have notifications off because they’re too distracting.

Thanks! I saw that on a clip and wondered what it was.

I wrote a python script that downloads my calendar and displays my next meeting on a small e-ink screen plugged into a raspberry pi zero that I attached to the top of my computer screen. Basically I tend to get so zoned in (or out) that I always forget to check my calendar. I receive so many messages like “Are you joining the call???” 10 minutes after the start time. If anyone’s interested I will share a link to the source code.
