Makes sense. In any case, it’s great he’s getting help. Hope he gets better soon!

To be fair psychiatrists in Germany see you for just as short a time. Psychotherapists see you for an hour a week. Psychiatrists just prescribe medication and don’t actually talk to you beyond that.

Many people don’t know the difference though so your friend might simply believe they get an hour with a psychiatrist. And than there’s the rare exception of a psychiatrist who is in fact also a trained psychotherapist. Most of them still call themselves psychiatrist, because doctors have a much higher social standing than psychologists (which in germany most psychotherapists are). Its complicated. But in general: Most psychiatrists have very little time for their patients.

nothing we do will matter in a million years

But it will still be the truth.

Maybe what we do won’t matter in the sense of having a discernable effect, but there is something eternal about every bit of us anyway. In a million years it will still be true that once there was a fresh parsnip on this strange small platform called lemmy, hitting buttons on a keyboard and communicating with people from all over their little wet rock of a planet, attempting to connect and to understand. Every kindness of you, every act of bravery, everything you’re proud of in your past is now as true as it was then and as it will be next year. And that will never go away. F o r e v e r.

(Of course, this is also correct for everything we’re ashamed of - but if we try to make the best of it, that too becomes a universal truth about us.)

Yeah, the native functions works for most apps, but not discord unfortunately. But thanks alot for looking around! Will try your solution when I get back home tonight.

I’m using mint with cinnamon.

I did try to look for a solution online, found other annoyed users with the same problem and no solution, and kinda gave up tbh.

Maybe I do have to switch at least the DE in order to solve this, but at the end of the day it’s really just a small annoyance.

The problem is that discord forces itself in front of every other window I currently use on the main monitor, twice, while it starts and auto updates. Manually dragging it away once it’s open is the smaller annoyance compared to the distraction of having to switch back to my other application two times in a row. And I guess the only solution would be for it to start on the secondary monitor in the first place, so it could go and take center stage where it doesn’t annoy and distract me.

JS paint, open in browser, no install required :)

It’s a perfect clone of oldschool ms paint.

Sounds really useful. I guess there’s no equivalent on mint though? Tried to search for one just now, but then again I’m still a noob and could be looking for the wrong thing.

Still, not the first time I’ve heard about the superiority of KDE plasma. Thanks for sharing.

I can’t for the life of me get discord to start on my secondary monitor.

But eh, you get used to it.
