Statement from Linus Tech Tips about Madison's accusations
I'm starting a new conspiracy that Linus knew all this was coming and that's why he hired the new CEO. I have no facts but I said it on the internet so people will believe me.

Between this and Madison's tweets I hope the good people can get out and the company dies.

Is ADHD over diagnosed?
As medicine advances, most diseases or conditions will be diagnosed more often. With the extreme increase in technology in the past 50+ years I wouldn't say that cancer is being over diagnosed just because we can find it better. While mental health science is arguably far behind traditional medicine, I wouldn't say that ADHD as a whole is over diagnosed. Is it probable that there are some bad doctors that will simply hand wave kids away with an ADHD diagnosis? Sure but those cases are far less common than you might think. As someone with ADHD I have seen the sentiment that it is over diagnosed arise in my life as people claiming that what I suffer from isn't real and I need to pay attention better, or that I'm just "abusing the Adderall to get ahead in life." So no I don't think it is over diagnosed and people around the world need to have a better understanding of how mental illness truly affects the people that suffer.

Google’s claim that search users have choice is “bogus,” Microsoft CEO tells judge
Microsoft is hardly one to be involved in this. They're just as bad in different ways. But. As far as search goes, I think it's incredibly simple to change search engines but the problem is Google doesn't give users that choice up front when installing chrome but even if they did most people don't give a shit and will just use Google anyway.

I've been on Linux for a while but this shit is starting to make my wife ask about switching over. Which is something I never thought I'd see.

This is what I don't get. They already pay ad rev portions or whatever to video creators. So why is it so hard to pay ALL the content creators based on ad rev?

[RANT] I pay $70/mo for this privilege
I was very close to closing on a house in rural midwest but I checked isp's and every one available had caps so I just stayed away.

Dethroning lemmy.ml, lemm.ee rises as the second most active instance
I wonder how many of the accounts on world are ones that are just left for dead as people moved around to other instances. I myself was day one on world but the outages became too much.

Which search engine should I use?

They use bing results but they most certainly weren't bought by Microsoft. They have a deal with Microsoft to use their results without tracking. At least to my knowledge. Someone correct me if I'm wrong.

If you're pirating stuff I wouldn't let a data collection group just set shit up in your apartment. No idea what they know but imo it isn't worth the risk.

Where can i find rare books ?
OpenBooks by Evan buss on GitHub. It's an irc based downloader and I have been able to find even the most obscure stuff with it. At least so far.

I've moved back to connect. You have to pay for premium on sync in order to get push notifications. Also I think connect looks better but that's subjective.

There needs to be a better way of updating games
I have never had any issues with this. Every night it goes into rest mode and every day after work everything I have installed that has an update has been updated, even games I haven't touched in months. The only exception is when games push updates later in the day and the update just gets out when I get off work but that isn't a console issue and just an inconvenient timing.

What search engines do you use?
I can't be bothered to self host a search engine. I just stick to duck duck go and I've tried some whoogle instances but I just prefer ddg at this point.

Which distro do you believe deserves more recognition?
Honestly I've really enjoyed Zorin. It's made life simple when it comes to migrating friends and family to Linux. Specifically the way they handle fonts and scaling in office programs when opening Microsoft files. It's been easy to get my wife to get off of windows after they started bombarding her with adds on her fuckin desktop screen.
