What movie scared you shitless when you were a child?
  • 70s - Black Christmas
    80s - Poltergeist, The Changeling

  • Adult ADHD Diagnosis - what is the process like?
  • I was diagnosed 10 years ago via a neuro-psych assessment. It wasn’t cheap but I wanted to assess for other areas of needs, such as short term memory retention. The assessment included an interview followed by several hours of structured testing.

    These days, I believe there are quicker ways to test specifically for ADHD via a limited set of questions. A psychiatrist can certainly do this but most primary care physicians should also be able to as well. Depending on where you live, access to psychiatry might be limited and your primary care physician may be the one to manage your meds (if warranted) in any event. A psychologist may be able to diagnose ADHD but can’t offer medication options.

    Re: learning disability/dyslexia, the neuro-psych testing can identify these issues. There may be simpler, more cost effective methods to identify these or other deficits. If you potentially need accommodations in the workplace, they may require some proof of assessment.

    Hope that helps.

  • Pt.2 of the Kbird mascot. Thoughts on these two designs?
  • I really like the right one. It oozes confidence :)

  • Happy Canada Day!
  • Welcome! And depending on where you are, sorry about the air quality :/

  • The worst physical pain you've ever experienced ?
  • Worst instant of pain: root canal of infected tooth.

    Worst overall: 6.5mm kidney stone.

    Runner up: gall stone blocking duct.

  • Artemis alpha version 0.1.2 just rolled out!
  • Looks great! Well done.

  • TIL that the Canadian government will send you a flag that has been flown on top of the Parliament buildings. The current waiting list is over 100 years.
  • I ordered 2 from the Peace Tower about 5 years back when the wait was 72 years. Had my kids take over their respective “orders”. They just might arrive in time for their grandkids to enjoy them. They are pretty darn big too.

  • Our first buddy!
  • Lol. My first 25 events with mine - 1 red finch, 1 cardinal, 23 of the same black squirrel. And for the record, it ignored the alarm feature by the third attempt.

  • Who owns the Fediverse? I mean who owns and runs the hardware that runs this system?
  • Thanks for the link! Coffee and kudos passed along.

  • Private beta for Artemis App will start rolling out end of month 🌛
  • Signed up! Anything to support your efforts.

  • iOS Subreddit will be back online on Monday 19th June
  • I may be reading it wrong but it appears mods will only enforce one rule: every post must somehow relate to iOS. “Hey, here’s a pic of John Oliver from my iOS device.” Is fair game. It will be up to admins, not mods to enforce site-wide rules. This is going to be interesting.

  • Vote for the name of this new Kbin and Lemmy iOS app under development!
  • Artemis. Great name and doesn’t imply a fixture to any one fed platform.

  • *Permanently Deleted*
  • Thanks…I thought it was something altogether different.

  • Apollo was excellent. Still can't figure out how one very clever chap (Christian) could smoke the official Reddit App. Surely out of the 2K employees at Reddit, there must have been a small dev team dedicated to it.

    BTW, could you share how to get the kbin PWA going? I signed up and used kbin on the iPhone and, while ok in Safari, it has some challenges. Desktop is quite nice actually.

  • Which browser do you use on MacOS?
  • Firefox and Safari.

  • Unofficial Subreddit Migration List (Lemmy, Kbin)
  • Sort of manual but try this as a kbin.social user:

    https://kbin.social/m/{lemmy community} <-- but without the '!'
    e.g. https://kbin.social/m/[email protected]

    Remember to remove the '!' :)

  • Reddit CEO seeks to end site protest by allowing users to vote out moderators
  • Totally agree.

    For a given sub, how many accounts map to individuals vs bots/fake accounts? For real accounts, how many of those actively engage with the sub? This is not a problem for 'controlled' user accounts. The legitimacy of any vote will be suspect...no way around that.

  • Reddit CEO says he’ll change rules to end protest
  • Let's get him on an AMA to discuss further. Oh, wait...

  • Reddit CEO Steve Huffman: Reddit “was never designed to support third-party apps”
  • Oh, that’s rich. The API was created for third party access. And if he didn’t like it, why was it tolerated for so long? Hmmm…maybe because they brought in more users and their data to fatten the pig before IPO?

  • Me on my first day of lemmy
  • Crap! Just did that too :/
