I’m an autistic and ADHD geek. I’m also an aspiring Linux sysadmin. I love Warframe, The Witcher, forest and ocean facts, cats, and tech. I’m always looking to learn new things. I live by a rule of ‘live and let live’, except when someone is hurting or trying to force their way of life onto others.

  • Some genes are dominant and some are recessive. Dominant genes override recessive genes regardless of which parent it’s inherited from. Some genes that simply aren’t compatible with each other are altered during fertilization. These altered genes are called mutations. Some are beneficial, some are harmful, but most are benign. Some genes only come from the Mother, which would be the genes for the mitochondria. While some will only come from the father, which would be the genes for the nucleus.

    As for X and Y chromosomes. The X chromosome contains a lot of info you need in order to live while the Y chromosome just codes for what makes a being male. If you have a defective gene in your X chromosome and are male, chances are that it’s going to present itself. If you’re female, it depends on if that gene is dominant. One notable case is the genes for the cones in your eyes. They reside in the X chromosome and sometimes one of those genes has mutated. If you only have the mutated version you may be unable to see some colors. As givesomefucks@lemmy.world pointed out, this has advantages and disadvantages.

    Disclaimer: I’m going by what I remember from high school biology. If I made an error, then please correct me.

    EDIT: Corrected my wording in regards to colorblindness.










  • I can’t remember what I did to break it, but back when I was in high school I was tinkering right before class and rendered my laptop unbootable. I booted into an Arch Linux USB, chrooted into my install, found the config file I messed with, then reverted it. I booted back into my system and started the bell ringer assignment as quickly as I could. I had one minute left when the teacher walks by, looks at it, and says that I did a really good job. She never knew my laptop was unbootable just 2 minutes earlier.






  • I don’t put too much time into it. I simply dedicate chests/lockers to food, gear, and resources. But I don’t usually try to organize types of each item, for example;

    • Seeds usually ends up in both resources and food containers
    • Health kits usually go in gear, but can end up mixed in with resources and in rare cases, food containers
    • Raw resources and crafted materials go in the same containers
    • Power sources and lights end up in both gear and resource containers, but I usually keep them in gear containers
