  • I was tested by someone who came to my school when I was about eight years old because my parents were concerned. They diagnosed me as being lazy.

    30+ years later and my kid is going through the same thing. The workers at the nursery are decent though, and suspect neurodiversity. A couple of appointments later and my kid gets an autism and ADHD diagnosis. My wife and I speak to them because my symptoms are so similar, and they said that from the conversations we had about my kid, they assumed that I had already been diagnosed.

    I’m now 45 and still on a waiting list for an official diagnosis 😫






  • I don’t know, you can get Photoshop and Lightroom for £10 a month, which is very cheap when you compare it to a night out or a takeaway, and at the moment, they’re better than the equivalents.

    I do need to have another look at DaVinci Resolve though. I’ve heard loads of good things about it, but it was overkill for what I needed when I last tried it :)











  • Linux is obviously very good, but you are right, we give Linux a pass sometimes because we ‘build’ it. We tend to overlook its flaws because we want it to be better than the competition.

    I’ve recently had an upgrade fail to the point of a reinstall, a folder that I can’t share between two users on the same laptop, and shutdown buttons on two computers that disappeared. If those problems happened on Windows, I’d be really annoyed, but because they happened on Linux, I just fixed them and carried on.
