This is me and Lemmy right now lol.
65 comments? Those are rookie numbers! (jk)
Sadly I have to work as well 😤
S/O also is autistic as I am & has limited me to 5 minutes a day on this conversation 😅
me and autism. i created a whole community lol
Me with free and open source software
Literally me. Had to interview someone for a school project relating to religion a couple years back, so as a non-religious person I interviewed Richard Stallman. Ever since I’ve been using free software for pretty much everything. It has become such an obsession that I’ve gotten work due to it and I’ve forced even a government authority to change their ToS to not violate GPLv3.
Nice to see a GNUmer in the wild.
So many things I want to download lol!
Me rn with bikes. I just got into bikes and a couple days later I’m scouring through my county’s website for trail maps, looking at what public transit is being funded, doing research on bikes, planning locations to bike to, and buying equipment.
Mad keen cyclist here too - MTB and Gravel cycling for me!
What’s good cycling communities on lemmy?
This is soooo relatable… My most recent obsessions were tornados and caving. Spent so much time learning all the lingo, I even located a local caving club I swore I was going to join. And then poof, my interest shifted to something else! Haha
Currently in the process of trying to befriend a chipmunk. Today friend chipmunk was comfortable enough to eat with me outside.
It was the best.

This one is not socialized at all. I got yelled at (squeaked?) with all the adorable fury the first time I tried to stay outside for feeding, so tiny progress makes me so happy!
If you’re lucky enough you she may be female and someday get comfortable enough to show you her babies.
Hehe me too!! (First post on Lemmy too…no more lurking since I’ve found “my people”!)
My obsession at the moment is with internet privacy and reducing data available to insidious ad companies….
But my usual staples are always Star Wars (I love it all - don’t get into the arguments/opinions about it either as I just love it all) Cycling (MTB and gravel cycling as well as bike packing) and Aviation/Aerospace (it’s my job too) ☺️
internet privacy and reducing data
Then I think you’re ready to make the full jump to FOSS. I was into Linux when I was a little pre-teen, and I’ve only gotten more into it as big data hungry mega corporate induced culture preyed upon us.
I still use Twitch and Discord but I finally deleted my data on Instagram, Twitter, Reddit and rn I’m working on doing the same for Microsoft and Google. Goodbye Android.
Out of curiosity, what kind of phone are you using at the moment, if not an Android phone?
Pixel 7 Pro for personal use and an iPhone 14 Pro for work. I would like some of the polish of iOS in Android and some of the ease of use and less restrictions on iOS but both have their pros and cons.
Was not clear enough, I ditched Googled Android for technically AOSP. LG V40, currently on LineageOS, jumping ship to Evolution X probs this week.
Although I’ve been paying close attention to PostmarketOS and as soon as a better-esh phone than mine gets dialy driver support by the community I’m finally making the full switch to Linux.
I’m currently using GrapheneOS on a Google Pixel 6a (a legitimate way to degoogle, ironic as it may sound). I used to run LineageOS on my previous phone.
I have tried porting pmOS to one of my old phones for fun, but never succeeded unfortunately. Maybe it will be a feasible option in the future?
Google Pixel 6a
I almost got one second hand but the Qi charge was a deal breaker.
Maybe it will be a feasible option in the future?
Even if it isn’t,
Phoshitself is still going strong to the point that I can see it 99.9% merged into GNOMEmaster.I doubt Phosh will merge with GNOME, since GNOME Mobile already exists and might even be overtaking Phosh.
You’re right. I haven’t catch up with Mobile. I actually stopped using GNOME personally but I’ll won’t lose track since I gotta maintain my partner’s laptop on vanilla Fedora.
Android is FOSS, you don’t need to leave Android.
Absolutely however I do not own a person computer currently as I have to use one for work - when I did own one until recently I usually ran Manjaro on it. I started tinkering with Linux back in the days of early Ubuntu as an alternative to Windows XP :)
I worked IT for a while, making sure I could run Linux on my work computer was a priority in every job.
Unfortunately I don’t work in IT - Aerospace Engineer and don’t get a say in IT and operating systems generally!
Yeah, I can’t relate to this at all…
[Tries to hide the look on his face that this is a flat-out lie]
Seriously, though, my partner handles my obsessions in the best way. She lets me go off & ramble about them, and when I’ve reached a kind of pause, she cuts in with:
“Ryan, your autism is showing,” in an endearing tone of voice that’s short for “I love that you do this, I want you to keep doing it, but I have no idea what you’re talking about.” lol
Haha this was me about 4 years ago, and ever since I send the Wednesday frog to a friend of mine.
Me with tarantulas… now I have 14 tarantulas.
I feel this deep in my soul. As an AuDHD’er, I have my main obsession which I can always return to (BBC Sherlock) and a continuous rotation of new, short term hyper-fixations. At the moment this has included: gem faceting (I’m a sucker for geometry and working with my hands), home brewing (never gonna do it, but love to learn about it) and ultra-marathons (in a sense of watching Youtube videos about people that run them, there is no way in hell I am capable of such feats).
Home alcohol brewing? Cuz I do home coffee brewing and it scratches the etch just enough so that I don’t go out in a frenzy and intoxicate my self with adulterated alcohol 🥴
I’m currently obsessed with obsidian.md
Aight, I’ll bite. Tell me some about it. I’ve already downloaded… What’s got you hooked?
I used notion before, as context and I like how it’s just regular markdown, nothing fancy. It puts the focus on the text and not what it looks like.
I also like that it’s free and that I have the files on my computer, (and on github in my case)
Huh, this is interesting… I usually use obsidian, but have recently moved to Notion for Dungeons and Dragons campaign development.
I really enjoy notions database centric system for DnD. I like that fact that i don’t have to remember to push my changes to GitHub, as i often move PC.
My only problem with Notion is the lack of extensions/themes… Almost everything i use is in the Catppuchin mocha theme (even my windows)… But for the love of God, i can’t get it to work on notion
But hey, knowing my ADHD-ass brain, I’ll be using a new note system soon
Me, too!
Someone asked me last week to explain why I loved it, and I couldn’t explain why. It’s fast, is all I can think of.
For me it’s that it has it’s focus on the text and it’s simple markdown, it’s free and the files are stored on my computer (and github in my case).
I came from Notion where I put way to much time into what it looks like instead of focusing on the text.
My first real hint that I was different from the people around me was, in fact, my first obsession: Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars.
FUGAAAHHH FOILED AGAIN!
This is my life as someone with ADHD
This was me with ants for 3 weeks immediately right after finding the AntsCanada channel. Then I forgot about ants forever. Probably for the best, I might have not been their most responsible god.
Frogs rule tho
Haha this was me about four years ago, and ever since I send the Wednesday frog to a friend of mine.
