I live in Asia, specifically Pakistan, and ADHD meds are not easy to come by here. I live in the biggest city and only know two stores which sell locally manufactured methylphenidate (aka Ritalin).

It's alright, I didn't perceive you to be minimising the situation. It's just this issue touches a raw nerve for me and I felt compelled to point out how much worse it is here. Appreciate your empathy.

I wish I could agree. It really feels particularly bad here (though our neighbors in India have caught up in recent years). Have lost count of how many public lynchings/murders/breakouts of mob violence have happened in recent memory. I even personally know someone who was shot and murdered by a religious extremist. A year later, when the killer was arrested, I found I knew him too - he was my brother's batchmate in uni (a very expensive and popular business school) and had even been to my house.

I also have another friend, a feminist organiser, who got accused of blasphemy because she was standing next to an LGBT flag on stage during a women's march. She had to go into hiding for a few months for her own safety. I know other feminist organisers who have been accused of blaphemy too, from a different city. Their march was pelted with stones by counter-protestors from an extremist madrassah.

Beyond these personal anecdotes, I recommend reading about the cases of Salman Taseer, Junaid Hafeez, and Mashal Khan.

Don't get me wrong - conservative religious fascism is ubiquitous and bad everywhere. but dude it is straight up murderous here (and I feel much of the muslim world generally) in a way that is difficult to convey to outsiders.

There's a joke by a popular Pakistani comedian that goes like: "A Pakistani goes to Mecca for the first time. After getting off the plane, he sees a signboard with Arabic written on it, and starts kissing and prostrating himself in front of it. A few minutes later, an Arab dude taps him on the shoulder and says, 'bro, that sign says bathroom' "

This joke just played out in real life. Muslim extremists are beyond parody

I am an atheist living in Pakistan, and incidents like these send a shiver down my spine. If this woman had not been sheltered by shopkeepers and the police had not acted quickly, she would definitely have been lynched and murdered.

The mob of zealots that had gathered around her was chanting "“Gustakh-e-Rasool ki ek hi saza, sar tan se juda, sar tan se juda”, which roughly translates to "what do blasphemers deserve? decapitation! decapitation!"

This country is fucked.

In the developing world, impossible burgers & beyond meat are nowhere to be found. I only know of a single restaraunt in my entire country that sells a beyond meat burger (at 4x the price of a normal beef burger).

tldraw.com is great

That's exactly how I felt, too

They have more or less the same functionality. This is just made to fit in with the GNOME desktop's design language. Also, this is a third-party app.

The best starting point in my experience is https://regolith-desktop.com. You install it and get a noob-friendly, pre-configured unixporn desktop out of the box.

Once you start using it, the rest of the obscure programs referenced on /r/unixporn start making sense too.

It plugs into Jellyfin, a self-hosted alternative to Spotify/Netflix, (and the topic of this sub :) )

✊ hang in there buddy and keep trucking. I was similarly in a low place when I started Odin. I'd just dropped out of college (for the second time).

Decided right then that I was going to become a developer and kept working away at it with a blank mind. I made tons of mistakes but felt liberated by working towards my goal.
