Yeah, it’s a weird situation. Any idea where I can find these patches or what terms I soils search for to find them myself?

Yeah, seems like a rather basic feature.

I can adjust to some variation in scroll speed. But in some applications it’s just too fast to be usable. I ended up changing my scroll speed settings in firefox to already have that covered.

about:config that I use now:

At the moment, I’m using some changes in firefox to make it mostly usable there. Other applications are still usable, but in firefox the scrolling was too fast.

Here are my changes in about:config:

Yeah, seems like it. I was hoping I could configure the touchpad via xinput or libinput. But I didn’t find anything yet that works for this laptop.

Seems like it. But gnome does not seem to expose this in their settings. I think it should be configurable via libinput, but didn’t find the right config yet.

This would change the acceleration profile of the cursor movement, not the scroll speed right?

Do you mean ‘pores instead of gills’ ? I think all mushrooms produce spores, no?

I learned to put both my palms around the lid, fingers crossing over my hands and then press hard inwards. This will pop the lid and then you can easily twist it open.

Useful if you don’t have any utensil nearby

What does this mean in practice? You don’t get a post-caffeine crash if you take it together with L-theanine?

There is truth in that.

I actually like the things I do for work though. Or at least I like doing those things by myself for fun.

After having worked in the field for a few years, I noticed my enjoyment seems to have disappeared. Perhaps it’s the hours, or perhaps it’s the way that business can make anything boring. But I just didn’t like doing these things anymore.

And if I don’t like the things I really enjoyed in the past, then it feels like I will surely not like those things i disliked in the past.

I will still try though. But not easy to experiment with new things when you feel like you’re in survival mode all the time.

I don’t feel like my job was particularly difficult though. Usually the tasks are quite simple. But organization, prioritizing and meetings with others can strain my energy fast.

I’m not sure I could play videogames for 8 hours per day if I only could get a single break at noon.

I would be tired and unhappy all the same (even though it would be a bit better, since I can actually choose what games to play. At work I don’t really have any choice in my tasks)

Does this actually transfer to real life situations though?

I found one of the best ways to improve my working memory for certain tasks, it’s just to do those tasks.

Like, I used to be really bad at cooking, but in the past months, I’ve been preparing meals every day. And I noticed it’s easier to figure out what things to combine from the fridge, keep everything in my head and work on preparing the parts without having to rely too much on timers and recipes to know when and how to prepare things.

It does seem to help. I recently made a commitment to avoid digital media on my own.

I don’t think games or reddit or browsing is necessarily that bad in limited amounts. But it becomes too easy to start spending all your time on it because everything else feels too much effort and less fun.

I still allow myself any form of digital entertainment, but only when I do something together with friends. That way I still have some social contact, and I’ll have to do the effort to meet up if I want to do something fun.

When I’m by myself I’ll usually limit myself to reading, writing, going for walks, etc

Wow, that would be annoying. Currently I’m basically living in a studio, so would be difficult to avoid a specific spot in the home.

I have considered changing professions in the past, but i don’t think I could do a switch at this moment.

I don’t think i could easily find a job in a different field and I’m a bit worried that I would get lost and lose energy, even in seemingly simple jobs.

Not in one field specifically. But I have the most experience in software engineering, functional analysis, and tutoring (university-level)

I actually experimented with this in the past.

It does help quite a bit. ( but for some projects i would spend too much time catching up what i missed the other days)

The trouble is mostly finding part time work. When I tried it in the past, it was because I was already working full time and asked to have it reduced.

But now i don’t have a job, and finding pastime options from the start seems to be more difficult than finding a full time job.

I suppose I could start something full time and ask for a reduction later. But I’m a bit worried on how long I’ll be able to handle working full time.

How do you make sure every possibility is covered though?

I don’t really go to a doctor regularly.

Do you think I should? And try to find a doctor which seems competent? But how do you evaluate this? And how regularly should you visit a doctor?

Usually when I finally get to a doctor, most of my symptoms are already over. When feeling bad, I typically won’t make an appointment because I feel mentally incapable. Unable to make an appointment, get there, and then manage to explain what is wrong.

That sounds almost impossible to me.

What do you do then though?

I find myself getting even more tired if i spend that time on my phone for example.
