Time to build a new one and this time, dont tell investors.

Absolutely, especially with ADHD in the mix. When demand aversion kicks in, your brain literally tries to undermine any attempt to focus unless you can force it to cooperate. Music usually helps me with this.

Autistic Spectrum Disorder.

We don’t have a natural ability to infer emotions from body language, for a start. We have to learn to actively pay attention to it. Replacing natural instinct that a neurotypical person has with an active thought process is tiring, for a start.

Add to that most ASD people have trouble with emotional control, need to actively think about their own facial expressions, and often have social quirks that are unacceptable like nail biting which must be actively repressed… and being around others for hours on end is exhausting.

On top of this, most ASD people also have ADHD, and in the modern open office environment between the social aspect and never ending barrage of distraction, and the workplace is hostile, actively hostile to folks with ASD.

This combination of factors leads to having no where to unmask and relax until they get home. When they do, they are so exhausted from being something they are not for 10 hours (commute has to be included as its all public space) that when they get home they just shut down. They don’t call family or friends usually, they don’t get things around the house done. They have to turn off and try to re-energize themselves for doing it all again tomorrow.

I know all this as I am ASD and ADHD

Being able to work from home has brought actual balance to our lives as we can unmask the moment the camera goes off, we have rooms at home where we can close the door and remove distractions (well except mandatory work chats, but its a matter of muting that for focus) and at the end of the day we still have energy for our actual lives. In other words, this is the true work-life balance that I had always heard of but never truly felt I had.

DuckDuckGo is still the main one but the Bing results annoy me (MSN news proxied articles from other news sites)

Stumbled on this today, worth a look: https://seirdy.one/posts/2021/03/10/search-engines-with-own-indexes/

Users are testing the impact of not using Google.

Spoiler: non-LLM enshittified search engines return reliable results and usually are not censored.

I missed this, someone have the TL;DR for the clueless?

I feel the same way about having to use Mac for work and going back to a Linux PC at the end of the day. God damn I hate Mac’s UX. From the entire UI, to the CMD key, to the fact that END functions as PGDN and goes to and of page instead of end of line.

TIL… Thanks.

EDIT: Been playing with it a bit now and if it uses keepass as the DB the advantage I see right now is that having it in Nextcloud means automatic sync, and there are several autofill and syncing apps for various OSes and password sharing and automated checks for breaches. It’s probably a better option for anyone with Nextcloud than going the Keepassxc/syncthing route.

I’ve always loved Keepass, however I moved away from it in 2012 as it and any file based vault has brute forcing issues. You need to track every copy of it that has been made and if any copy falls out of your hands, like if you lose a device, you need to do a password rotation on 100% of your passwords. Since its a file, its not possible to prevent brute forcing.

Alright does anyone have opinions on Nextcloud Passwords? There’s apps for it and it would sync to my Nextcloud.

I hate this. Bitwarden has been a good app.

Because many sites intentionally give you different code because you’re not in a chrome browser and that code is frequently tested with lower priority or not at all due to market share. And Firefox is able to run chrome code.

Additionally some sites actively tell you that your browser is not supported and downgrade the experience because you are not using Chrome.

But in reality the sites really only react to the user-agent, so doing this just makes them use the chrome code.

There is absolutely nothing ‘Good’ about their will. Never has been.

They also renamed a bunch of locations from Safeway > FreshMart and laid off career employees with years of raises and benefits and forced them to reapply under the new franchise name. Same owners, same stores, but LOOPHOLE.

Fucking assholes.

Sigh… Not showing up for me. Is this affecting all regions?

This actually stems from long forgotten common courtesy to remove a hat when entering someone’s home or place of business.

It’s an ancient custom dating back to the days of knights, and generally courteous when visiting some one new or entering any professional establishment.

I downvote it when its opinion is clearly wack. Like when it tries to give Washington Post a highly trusted rating after all the inflammatory, biased shit they’ve been putting out.

Hahaha, fair point.

I dont usually upvote posts about Reddit…

…but when i do they’re shooting themselves in the foot

I hear what you’re saying here, but the parallel doesn’t work. People were dying of stage 4 lung cancer for years before they finally put warning labels on the product.

Unfortunately, people like this are going to have to keep saying it over and over until the message takes hold. It will take years.
