After a shower (which I already dread because it is overstimulating) I take very long to dry off because I need all water to be gone off of my skin.

If I do not I can feel a single drop of water rolling down my skin. Somehow this is even more overstimulating than the shower itself, so I hate it even more.

“Got any questions about propane?”

“Or… propane accessories?”

It has been decades, still have not gotten over it.

Case sensitive? 5 letters.

There is a reason Brawndo is in the picture.

Maybe you didn’t get the hint.

Eugenics is bad, please don’t explain to folks like this where autistic people come from 🤣

That is the joke of the meme, is it not?

Always has been (this wide spread) 🙂

Fair point.

Although it does have the biggest exposure to Google addicts.

I have never met an expert programmer with this particular issue.

Git gud.

… I just had to verify my age …

No you did not. You chose to do so.

I have not used WhatsApp in 10+ years, Windows in 4+ years, Google services in 2+ years.

It is a choice, stop lying to yourself about having to accept things.

“The Pretender”, starring Michael T. Weiss, was my favorite show in the early 90’s.

Yes, “I’m weak. And what’s wrong with that?” Weak - AJR

You mean the hand terminal?

It depends on how close to the fictional device you mean it to be. For instance, it would appear they are just “dumb terminals” without local processing power. So the offloading of the processing power to the cloud should be possible today, but there probably isn’t a use case for it yet.

Actually making it look like that shard of glass that shows you information on the screen? If you equip AR glasses it could potentially already be done, but again, I assume no one will build it as the use case isn’t there.

It’d be an awkward device as per today, so would not be a commercial succes as of yet.

I knowingly pick a new side project / fascination to focus on. I’m always forcing myself not to pickup side projects so I can actually finish something, but when struggling to motivate myself at all to get unstuck, I engage in the guilty pleasure of a new sideproject for a day or so to get going.

Agreed.

In addition, be sure to take a wide sample of ADHD symptoms from what you research.

It is such a broad condition that manifests quite differently in many people.

It might help narrow it down a little by looking at AuDHD specifically. The Autism + ADHD mix.

You’ll know you are ADHD (in addition to autism) if you consult a doctor and get diagnosed (or not).

If you’re seeing that one condition dictates you must have the other, I’d assume you’re dealing with cognitive bias. There are plenty of people in the world who have one without the other and clearly no indication of the other.

No sense in being “worried about ADHD” just for the sake of it. If you have ADHD symptoms that are hindering you in life, get professional help. If you are not hindered by ADHD symptoms, stop worrying about it? I understand that might be hard if you are obsessing over it, just saying there is no point to it if you don’t actually have the symptoms.

Recently, a major ISP in the Netherlands was determined to be streaming metadata from within their customer’s networks to Lifemote, a Turkish AI company.

Here’s a report in Dutch: https://tweakers.net/nieuws/245620/odido-router-stuurde-analyticsdata-naar-turks-ai-bedrijf.html

This is just the latest one to get caught doing it, but determine how comfortable you are having your internal network exposed to a 3rd party.

I’ve used personal/non-ISP modems and routers for 25 years because I’m not comfortable with it it. At all… But hey, you do you.

The taste of tomatoes/ketchup is great.

The texture of tomatoes is horryfing and makes me shiver and gag.

They are not the same.

The next release is Windows Only. However, it includes consoles and Steam Deck verified…

Did I read that correctly? What are they skipping, the Commodore 64?
