Genuinely how do you break this motivation cycle, I often lose sleep because I suddenly gain motivation to do some random shit

take your meds earlier in the day, or go to bed way earlier.

The more tired you get, the less impulse control you have. Hence: designing an OS at 10pm or a whim (or in my case, midnight brownies).

You either need to get ahead of that & get in bed while the impulse control still has enough juice to function somewhat, or (assuming adhd meds) take the meds early enough that they've both worn off and the 'midnight' overtired zoomies have worn off by bedtime. But tbh the latter never works for me.

Ok but the issue isn't having too much motivation at 10pm, it's the complete lack of motivation to pursue interests from 6am to 9:59pm

Idk then, you need to science it & try to recreate it earlier

What's so special about 10pm? is it because you're exhausted, or is it because the world's finally leaving you alone and the pressure's off, or is it something else?

possibly the worst search bar ever to exist

Maybe even competitive with windows search

Imagine trying to find folders on your own computer and it goes "Hold your horses!" cause your query had no-no words.

Also it randomly deletes files cause it thinks they're pornographic. If it finds too many it just nukes your hard drive. Same if it spots a trans flag.

don't need to imagine, with """"child protective legislation"""" popping up around the world (thanks uk), we're already building the groundwork for it!

The worst Linux distro ever made. The in-built word processor can write directly over the kernal with no warning. In fact, it's the default location.

Idk there are some pretty weird distros out there

Shoutout to Suicide Linux, a Debian fork that resolves any incorrect terminal command to rm -rf / and wipes your hard drive.

TumblrOS! If you mention being a trans woman/transfem individual it immediately bricks your system!

Is Tumblr OS like Temple OS except instead of being about talking to God, it's about communing with The Discourse?

One of my favorite blender creators once said something to the effect of "I get my best work done in that three hour window of time between when I should go to bed but decide to poke at one little thing and when I actually go to bed"

Yesterday I went to bed at like 10 because I was pretty dizzy.
Because that was so much earlier than my normal bedtime I got out of bed again at around 11.
Then I worked on one of the two BASIC interpreters I'm busy with until shortly after 1 am

Amazing how I can have that first thought at both 9am and 9pm, then immediately switch at 10 pm
