This is just wrong. The age at which person wants to transition and whether they want to take hormones is highly subjective and never same for everyone. And while there are more hormonal changes with age, it simply means that person may need more effort to pass, but it is not impossible. I for example transitioned entirely without hormones even after 18, and feel completely fine.

    English language isnt even very difficult to use gender neutral they/them or neopronouns, as many words are ungendered. In very gendered languages like ukrainian, it is impossible to use something other than he or her; there isnt even a universal way to refer to a particular person in gender neutral way.

    I dont use neopronouns for myself, but as a non-native english speaker, i struggle with reffering to people with neopronouns because i dont know how to properly use them.

    About they/them, i dont feel about it in any way offensive, even though i dont use it personally. For me, it is just a universally neutral way to refer to person, if, for example, i dont know their exact pronouns, and for every person that i reffered this way, they are okay with it, including myself.

    This is exactly the problem. By differentiating people in binary gender in government legal system, it not only gives less rights to specific genders, which in partiarchal society is mostly women, but especially lgbtq people. For example, by strictly requiring men and women in marriage, gay, trans and nonbinary people have a lot of problems getting them. If only law reffered to every citizen as an ungendered "person" or "human", it will solve many problems and make everyones life happier.

    I have an nvidia gpu, and run some apps through flatpak. And there is weird problem of gpu acceleration suddenly just stops working in flatpak apps.

    Normally when i for example run zoom, i can stream my screen no problem, blender gets full performace from gpu. But if run these programs some time later, zoom just shows black screen, and blender lags so much.

    In between this time, i did not do anything to installed packages. I did not do a system update, i did not update flatpak packages. Everything should have been working as it worked earlier but it doesnt.

    I found out that in between that time, new nvidia driver version is released on flathub, and updating nvidia driver package specifically, fixes gpu acceleration in flatpak apps. But now i have a question, why does already installed driver suddelnly stops working, until i update it?

     

    I have a problem that every time i want to start new hobby, i cant work on it for long enough time to develop it into a habit. I quit the hobby i started even less than one month after starting it, even if i am excited and interested in working on it for a long time.

    Since i dont know if i really have an adhd, because psychitriastists i went to say that i dont have adhd, despite i have common symptoms like lack of motivation, problems with learning and work, and problem with working on hobbies for a long time, i need to somehow find a way to work on a single hobby for a long time, without meds.

     

    I have a problem that i cant focus on my tasks for a long time. I cant do my work for long time per day, neither do it periodically every day.

    I know that to develop habits of doing certain work every day, i need twenty one days, but i lose interest to doing my work and just becoming bored of it in two weeks maximum, which is not enough time to develop habits.

    Another thing that my lazyness does to me, is that i cant keep my focus on one big task for long time, like several hours. I can keep working on this task for half of hour or a one hour at most, until i just get bored of it, and dont want to do it until next day.

    This problem apllies to any tasks i need or want to do, like doing sports, home work, programming and other work, and this is what keeps me from getting a job, because i just cant work full work day every day, especially if i cant even develop a small program for home work for more than two hours.

    Which advise can you recommend to get rid of the lazyness, and actually keep focus on the work and develop new habits?

     

    After my previous post on this community, i read all comments and found lots of useful materials on gamedev.

    For the firts couple of weeks i was completely involved into gamedev, learning, reading documetation, making project for hours every day. Next week i started to get bored with it. I was still making progress, but i just wasnt involved in it enough. Next week i got completely bored with it, and just left it. I tried to get back on track a couple weeks later, but wasnt successful.

    I just cant find myself doing some work, like learning something new, for longer than two weeks. When i was younger, i tried to self learn programming, but couldnt to continue to learn for long. Now i know how to program, not because i personally was interested in it, but because i was taught it. Even if i will somehow learn to develop games, i dont think i will be able to work on same project for months or even years, which is always required to make good games.

    Earlier i mentioned that i was bored, which is not what it seems it is. Making games is fun, and i want to do it. I just have a weird feeling, which i cant really explain what it feels like, and it prevents me from just opening the editor and continuing to work on a project i was doing last day, for unkown to me reason. Every time i boot my pc, i just look at that icon on the taskbar for a solid two minutes, until i decide to do nothing. Same thing at the next day, and a day after that, and then i just forgot i was actully doing that. I dont know why, but two weeks seems like the maximum i can spend on any big project, even if i am interested in it, and i know i have enough skill and time to complete it in reasonable amount of time.

    So, what can you recommend me to do, to get me involved into game development, to get interested in it enough to actully commit enough of my time to make great projects?

     

    I wanted to become a game developer for some time, and even tried following some tutorials for making video games, but i quit it due to not understanding the coding part, i did not really understand what i was doing.

    Now i know a lot more about programming, but mostly just in java, however, i dont think it will be very difficult to learn new language, as now i understand many concepts of programming in general.

    I want to learn to make games on godot, which i chose because it is quite popular and has a lot of documentation, tutorials, guides and community, which should be very helpful, especially for newbies.

    As for a newbie in game development, what advice would you recommend me follow, to easily get in the gamedev? Maybe its some guides, some example or test projects, or something else, which i dont know about yet, everything will be helpful.
