A rant on social media addiction = adhd articles/videos - Geddit

There are lots of articles on the internet always trying to make ADHD into something that is gained through internet addictions than something that a person is born with. I keep hearing, “TikTok is making kids have ADHD” or “I have ADHD because I scroll through Instagram for hours” and etc. The person probably already had ADHD and TikTok or whatever else didn’t just make it appear out of thin air, it just made the symptoms more noticable (speaking from experience.) This has the same feeling as vaccines causing autism or OCD is from being anal about order and cleanliness. It’s offensive and downright false. Social media addiction is real, of course and this is not to knock down those who have it without or with ADHD. It’s just frustrating that ADHD is a scapegoat for “those damn phones”.

Brave android infinite looping verification on Annas-archive - Geddit

For some reason Brave has been stuck with boot looping Anna’s Archive on Android. Can’t download from any mirror on some books/files. Have no problems on Firefox Android. There’s a fix that requires a chrome extension but the android version of Brave doesn’t allow extensions.

Would these grips make the steam deck easier to hold? - Geddit

I found that if I hold the steam deck using my fingers and upper palm high on the deck, it creates less strain. This means my palms can’t rest on the lower half. Would this grip make it better to hold so I can rest my lower palms on something?

The steam deck feels very heavy - Geddit

The steam deck feels very heavy holding it in everyway. It feels the heaviest in its hand grips. Does that feeling go away? It feels like I’m trying to hold a laptop.

How do I find news without using Social Media? - Geddit

I have used YouTube, Reddit and Mastodon for news related to certain topics. Now I want to be more independent in finding my own news sources. However, there are so many sources on the internet I wouldn’t know where to begin to find them by myself.

Steam deck delivery and summer heat? - Geddit

We are currently in a heat patch of 90°f weather; primarily we get 80°f+ weather in August. Delivering a Steam Deck would take about 2 weeks according to the website and I want to know what I should do in the case of the package being outside in the mail truck and porch for so long on really hot days?

Necessary accessories? - Geddit

I’m getting a 64gb steam deck probably next month. It will be used as a portable console and a desktop PC for work (desktop reliant websites). The most heavy game I’ll play is Stray (no 1st person shooters, MMOs or huge open worlds) with an hour or two of play time a day. I plan to get a 3rd party dock, a screen protector and a case. I will wait until around black friday for those. Is it necessary to get a ssd? Or will the 128gb micro SD card I have will be okay for one downloaded game at a time? Main issue is the heat. Will a case make the SD hotter? Will having a JSAUX backplate or a fan matter to keep the console cooler during playing? From what I’ve read, people say the backplates will still get heated after so many minutes of playing. The fans seems to put vaccume pressure on the actual fan and will cause it to stop working in the near future. I want to prioritize coolness before getting everything else.
