    That’s everyone’s brains. Emotional (and physical) intensity is the strongest reinforcement signal to any learning.

    What is wild is lack of factors commonly assumed to be normal.

    E.g. it’s fairly normal to have a timeline of your life available for recall at the moments notice. I, on the other hand, sometimes randomly remember a year I totally forgot I lived through and just sit there overwhelmed with no clue how to deal with the revelation.


  • ADHD is also a designation for a lifelong set of conditions that manifest early in life.

    You can end up developing ADHD-like symptoms later in life, but the „late bloom” itself is a good reason to seek and treat underlying conditions.

    And to correct a misconception, moving leg is a self stimulation thing. It’s not a hyperactivity manifestation, but a self-grounding action. On its own it’s entirely neurotypical.

    „Attention deficit and hyperactivity” designation sits somewhere in the ballpark of „diabetes means your pee is sweet”. Technically correct, easily observable, but ultimately describes symptoms, not the causes underlying them.

    The wave of „just accept it” is belittling and harmful. It actively segregates, it denies access to professional help, it leaves people who could easily be self sufficient with no tools for self sufficiency.

    And most importantly, the way brains work, for something to be recognized it needs a (preferably named) category. Orange was bright brown before we decided that it’s a separate thing.

    First, Omarchy doesn’t need funding or partners. It’s backed by a Nazi multimillionaire.

    Second, the whole apolitical argument is bullshit. Everything is political. Support for a distro that doesn’t really need support by nature of being a child of a Nazi multimillionaire is a support for that Nazi multimillionaire.

    “We didn’t support them because of that” means nothing. The support still sends a message. Just like artist loses control over interpretation of their art the moment they release it, people lose control over interpretation of their actions the moment they act. Does it sound fair? Maybe not, but it’s how reality works.

    Reality is, outside of speciation events, vast majority of traits are neutral. And humanity hasn’t really faced a speciation event yet. We’re isolated as a species on our branch because everything else either died out or merged with us, not because we got forced through an evolutionary bottleneck.

    It’s compelling to try and attribute inquisitiveness and borderline suicidal drive to explore to ADHD, but such attribution can be made to a number of traits with the same level of credibility - namely, “we don’t know but it sounds nice”.

    That’s a nice story, but it reeks of trying to set a narrative to evolution.

    Meanwhile, for the actual evolutionary process ADHD doesn’t have to be beneficial at all. As long as it’s a not-too-crippling side-effect of beneficial mutations, it gets a pass.

    But then why are we bringing evolution into this story? ADHD is highlighting a problem with a way faster process than that one. Specifically, how the hell are we modifying our societies that a significant percentage of population whose behaviour you can find enshrined in anecdotes suddenly finds themselves constantly overwhelmed by normalcy?

    PS: Dopamine starvation hypothesis doesn’t seem to have evidence backing it and looks to originate from influencers, not scientific process.

    PPS: Self-correction, dopamine theory is older than influencing - https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/1652243/. Yes, I’ve got ADHD, how did you know?






  • I’d probably add that for something like nextcloud granted scopes can be an „orthogonal”–for the lack of a better word–subset of requested scopes.

    The set of requestable scopes has to be defined by the system itself, not its specific configuration. E.g. „files:manage”, „talk:manage”, „mail:read” are all general capabilities the system offers.

    However, as a user I can have a local configuration that adds granularity to the grants I issue. E.g.: „files:manage in specific folders” or „mail:read for specific domains or groups only” are user trust statements that fit into the capability matrix but add an additional and preferably invisible layer of access control.

    It’s a fairly rare feature in the wild and is a potential UX pitfall, but it can be useful as an advanced option on the grant page, or as a separate access control for issued grants.
