Quick background: I live in a house with my sibling and their parents. My sibling is not legally or biologically related to me, but they ARE my sibling. My sibling’s parents are not my parents, but we are collectively a ‘family,’ in many senses of the word. I call my sibling’s parents “the Elders of Plumley” as...
I’m having a really specific problem trying to play a game with my friend on fedora linux, and the internet seems to hold no wisdom for me. Can I ask for tech support here, or on the gaming community? I’m used to reddit where posts get deleted for being off topic, and often asking in a specific community is also considered...
A while back I was in a business class, and I had this thought, that I really wish there was a way for me to log how many mental spoons* (how much mental energy) it takes to do a task. Something like a period tracker app, or a habit tracker, that could allow me to enter some data, and when it had enough it would be able to...
That’s super fair, and I appreciate this perspective a lot! I’ve thought about this a bit myself–part of the challenge i think is making something that I would use, because I’ve never really had a phone app that actually works for me in the realm of time management and similar for this exact reason. It’s a lot of energy to learn an interface and consistently input enough data that the app could even work. I think that will be the main difficulty, trying to make the app as effortless to use as possible while still maintaining the functionality I’d want.
Data privacy i think won’t be too hard to deal with–I’d intend for the app to be free, not have any login requirement, and for all the data to be stored locally. I have a lot of concerns about privacy (both as a general thing and because of my ptsd) so this is another part of making an App That I Personally Would Use. Thank you for the kind words and your perspective :)
I’ll definitely look into these apps. The money tracker thing might be a good starting point!
On the point of spoons and whether folks would understand their significance: one thought is that, I could maybe have different settings to change the language and visuals to batteries or something similar? It’s definitely something to implement much later on, after i figure out the core functionality, code everything, make the first set of visuals, etc etc. But I definitely will keep that in mind!
Data privacy is definitely on my mind with this whole thing. It’s kinda why im on lemmy, and moved my laptop to linux, and generally am very vigillant when it comes to my online privacy. Ideally the app would be free, open source, have no login requirements, work without internet, and store data locally.
Thank you for your insights! If you do find anything notable with those apps, please let me know :)
pretty quiet week this week if you ignore whatever the hell is going on with our bathroom toilet, which has a diagnostic issue we can’t troubleshoot and which has flooded once this week. calling maintenance once again to see if we can figure this out so i don’t have to plunge every third time we flush (ironically it’d be...
My brother is home for reading week and we’ve been playing board games a lot! In other news, going to see a documentary in a theatre today. It’s called Your Fat Friend and it’s soemthing I’ve been looking forward to for a while

Is there a good place to ask for tech support on Beehaw?
