I've never so much as shot a gun, so no, never had an open carry.

Huh, I had no idea that was the case. How does what3words make money exactly? I assume ads but I block those everywhere I use a screen.

Are there any services that do roughly the same thing but are open source?

The what3words app is awesome and lets you share any 10-foot square on the planet and save them into lists.

International Fixed Calendar? I seem to remember hearing a proposal for the 13th month being called Sol which is kinda cool.

It's not on F-Droid, but I use BlipBlip for this exact thing. It's an old app sadly, but still works on Android 14. There's a ton of customization options which you might find useful.

I would love to try Returnal! I've had my eye on it since it came out but I never got around to it. Thanks for doing this giveaway! Happy holidays!

I came here to say exactly this. My favorite games for 5+ players are Codenames and Sushi Go Party Edition.

There are some really great answers here already that I think are perfect starting points for you. I'll offer a bit of what I know because everyone's experience is different.

I don't have ADHD, but my girlfriend does. She uses Trello to keep track of her school work like assignments, due dates, class information, important links, etc. She also uses Obsidian for her research notes. Between those two and her calendar, she manages to stay pretty organized as long as she looks at them regularly. As another commenter said, having an app on your phone for quick reminders is probably a good idea too.

As for me, I like Obsidian and use two vaults for different purposes. One is for my roleplaying game notes to plan for running games of D&D and others. To organize it I use the Johnny Decimal system because it's good at separating different projects within one space. I can look at the folder number any time I search or link a note and immediately know if I've got the right version of a monster or the right NPC called "Alice" for example.

My other vault is my general knowledge base for all other notes. I recently came across the work of Nick Milo and have adopted his ACE method with some tweaks to tailor it better for how I think and work. It's a well thought out system and I am starting to see the benefits more and more.

I hope you find the systems and methods that work for you even if Obsidian doesn't become part of your workflow!

I appreciate your thoughtful reply! I guess it does boil down to a difference in how people like to consume content. I prefer being able to get a digest or summary of interesting things to read and don't care so much about what's brand new. Using AI for this could work well and I'm sure we'll see that pretty soon.

And certainly you're right about needing a willingness to jump in. I always feel like whatever I have to say is less important than what others are doing which scares me out of posting. That's why I like places like Lemmy where I can make a post and if people see it that's cool, but it's not in everyone's face and easy to ignore.

I would personally love to use GOG for their buy-to-own model, but I'm incredibly tied into the Steam ecosystem. I just can't live without Remote Play Together for playing with distant friends, the Workshop is incredibly convenient for modding, and free no-setup cloud sync of all my saves is a no-brainer. Gabe Newell was right when he talked about piracy being a service issue. If you provide the best service, people will keep coming back.

In that same vein, I'll never buy another Ubisoft title as long as I live. Their crappy launcher makes it impossible to play their games on Linux.

I see lots of love for Linux in the comments which is awesome, but is there anyone considering making a hackintosh out of their machine? Is that a good route to go these days?
