  • As a person who is not diagnosed ADHD or autism (but has traits of both), what’s made sense for me with meditation is that it’s about relaxed attention. Choosing to focus your mind on something specific (for example, the sensations of breathing in and out, or even something simple like counting). Recognize that yes, your mind will wander, and you’ll catch yourself drifting off to think about the show you just watched or the burrito in the fridge or how stupid meditation is… And that’s normal. The practice of meditation is catching that your mind wandering, acknowledging that with kindness and without judgment, and going back to what you were focusing on for your meditation. Don’t be hard on yourself! Every time you catch your mind wandering, you are actually SUCCEEDING (because you recognized it), and are PRACTICING catching your mind wander and practicing getting back on track. :)

    For me, that’s what made it work. Focusing on nothing or letting my mind wander just leads to anxiety about doing it wrong and boredom, but gently focusing on something neutral and just practicing catching myself wandering is something I can do.

    Epic pays the publisher a flat fee for permission to distribute the game for free for the week.

    Your individual download doesn’t give Rowling any less or more, but shows support for her IP, and tells epic they made a good decision to support her.

    I’ve heard great things about the game, but for me the download does support Rowling, so it’s a hard pass.




  • I’m using pop os (24.04 cosmic de in alpha state) and it’s been my daily driver for about a month now. Generally everything works without fussing. I’m eagerly waiting cosmic beta, but to be honest I’m not sure I’m expecting anything to get “fixed” because everything is already working.

    Regarding games, some things need a tiny bit of fussing (open game, unmaxamize and then remaximize screen… Just as an example) and some don’t work quite yet, but I’ve been shocked at how many games “just work” even though they’re not made for Linux.
