    Therapy (both individual and group talk therapy) helps with the emotional regulation and any childhood trauma and bad coping mechanisms you acquired by being a kid with ADD/ADHD. Medication helps with the focusing of course, both allowing you to focus for longer and sometimes (in the case of XR meds) softening the “crash” so you can have the mindfulness and focus to bring your emotional regulation tools into play and start to self regulate. I firmly believe both are necessary for some (if not most) people to be truly successful living with ADD/ADHD.





  • Depends on what your definition of winning is. If we reach a state where it is literally impossible to run your own software without heavy hardware modification, which would exclude 99.9% of users, that would be like big tech winning in my book. That’s why right to repair is important, and we probably also need laws to prevent OEMs from disallowing the use of alternate OS.

    Let’s be careful to remember that there are different levels of effort and understanding required for different levels of security and privacy. GrapheneOS has taken the approach of offering harm reduction, with sane defaults and options that allow advanced users to take near-complete control over their device (within the limits of the Pixel hardware). This is obvious by their inclusion of the sandboxed Google Play Store as a major feature of the OS, as it is much better than the situation on Google’s Android. It is also not installed by default, forcing users to at least somewhat educate themselves in order to install it.

    Accrescent is right in line with this philosophy, and is also not installed by default. Of course if your threat model (or desire) is to achieve the highest level of online anonymity and to have a completely FOSS system, you should not use it… of course you probably shouldn’t use FDroid either, in that case, and should build from source. However, you are clearly in a situation where your threat model does not require those lengths, and FDroid is more of a principled choice.

    I think its pointlessly inflammatory to call Accrescent “dangerous” just because it allows for non-FOSS software. Now if you want to criticize whether or not it is fulfilling its stated goals, that is another story.






  • Have you guys reached out to Nothing? Looks like they run Android, and are a relatively new company (founded by the former OnePlus founder) that is just starting sales to the US. Maybe an angle GrapheneOS could take is to be an alternate OS install option, they are very focused on growth and attracting the privacy and security community might benefit them as they aim to squeeze out more ROI. They also seem to be cranking out new phone designs at a pretty good rate, so perhaps they could accommodate hardware requests, who knows? business@nothing.tech to inquire
