i'm seriously considering permanently abandoning laptops in favor of tablets. i spent a day working on my wife's tablet today and it was fine enough for when you're on the go that the small screen isn't too much of an issue. plus, you get an extended battery life, no noise, more comfort carrying it around, and the best of all, for much less money

the biggest downside is that, since tablets are technically embedded devices, they're much more locked up and you basically have no access to the system with the stock rom

so im looking for a cheap tablet ($100-$200), around 10 inches, that i can easily (or at least reliably) install linux to. any recommendations?

my new psychiatrist gradually took me off of ritalin+venlafaxin and introduced bupropion, first 150mg while cutting the venlafaxin dosage in half, and now 300mg of bup alone, completely removing venlafaxin

it's been 4 days i think since this last update and it's been fucking rough. i'm not sure if it's just the venlafaxin withdrawal or if the bupropion is contributing to it, but i feel like shit, i'm getting constant brain zaps unless i remain completely still with as little stimulation as possible, been having nightmares every single day, am extremely irritable and im not even sure the bupropion is even helping at all

is anyone else under the same treatment? it feels like a fringe/experimental treatment, but id like to confirm this from other adhders

thanks

edit: thank you so much for all the answers! they helped me to calm down and reassured me a bit. the symptoms are starting to wear off, so that also halped.

(this post obviously assumes the recent removal of russian devs due to sanctions is bad; no need to comment if you disagree)

a lot of people i know are considering jumping ship to some bsd after the recent MAINTAINERS debacle, but i'm skeptical it would make any difference. afaik, they're just as us-centric as linux if not more (it's the berkeley software distribution, after all). also, my biggest gripe about the bsds and the main reason i've never had any interest in them is their permissive licensing. permissive licenses suck

would there be any difference wrt sanctions in the bsds or moving away from linux to *bsd bc of that would be pointless?

i've been playing with cppfront for a few minutes now and it's been a surprisingly pleasant experience so far. i'm tempted to try it out at work to see what happens, but i wanna know if anyone tried to use it in production and what your experiences are

for those who haven't heard of it, cppfront is a cpp2 to c++ compiler, a bit like coffeescript for js. cpp2 is herb sutter's proposal of a new and cleaner c++ syntax with better ergonomics, better orthogonality, and better defaults

será que não temos pessoas suficientes aqui pra marcar um encontro emacs no brasil? acho que não precisaria nem ser na mesma cidade que todo mundo mora, eu mesmo moro no rio e estaria disposto a ir pra são paulo ou bh, já que são umas 8h de viagem e uns 200 reais ida e volta.
