Part of the reason is to to get controlled competition.
Same with google being the largest donator to firefox. If they wouldn’t do this it would create a hole that could motivates many others to create new innovation that could become a threat to them.
Also so they can deflect anti monopoly laws and also because they benefit from open source themselves.
I love the concept, i have even been working on something similar but, big buts…
Recommend ubuntu? While many are moving away from it.
Ai chat with ollama as a prominent feature? Controversy aside, this survival computer better packs some hardware, which may cost more precious possibly limited power.
Note taking app? Besides the intention to run it on ubuntu which i presume already includes something to work with markdown… any computer with a terminal can make notes as far as i know.
Hardware scoring and community leaderboard? wtaf
Things like offline wikipedia in kiwix are indeed pretty cool but in general the way this software describes itself feels sloppy and based more on vibes then anything though out.
Card against humanity… maybe…
Sounds like they stopped caring about the relationship and autism is just the excuse.
Unless there are significant changes to your ability to cope post marriage that are affecting them you are the same person as you always where when they decide to marry you.
This is not your fault, your partner should be there to support you, not drop you when they no longer feel like it.
You can tell this is accurate by the way they hold their tummy like they feel sick from constant stress.
My week as a windows forced office worker just peaked having seen this meme.
The world started yelling first, i don’t know why all the fuss when we respond back to it.
The upside of enshitification in newer games and crap like this is that i am less interested in playing the new stuff and the more so enjoy replaying older games.
Which also run at peak performance.
I highly prefer a wireless mouse, but only if does also come with a wire.
Both are independ labels for a specific set of neurodivergent features your brain may or may not have.
Basically, a young brain grows and develops neurological connections. For most people, those connections are relatively similar or typical but minor differences in them is part od why people are all still unique.
When you are “blessed” with neurodivergent dna from your parents, you are more likely to make different, atypical connections.
There is biologically no difference between neurodivergence from autism or adhd. But for medical purposes we group an area of “symptoms” with a label so we can grant each the professional help they need.
Neurodivergence also does not even need to occur with a genetic predisposition, simply growing up differently to your peers can already show the difference, but it doesn’t need to be negative either. Just like how many parts of adhd and autism can be positive.

The term and idea of neurodivergency originated within the autism community but its not true that its a replacement word for autism as it also includes adhd, ocd, bipolar, dislexia… Anyone with some atypical neurological configuration.
But i get you, and your case shows why its important that the classical medical terminology stays separate from the neurodivergent ones. The way i see it one has a more socio-cultural purpose, the other an instructive medial one.
Under neurodivergence we who are different celebrate how similar we all actually are in contrast to the dominant neurotypical masses, it does not differ between our actual challenges on purpose and it can be a great way to explain ourselves to neurotypicals without having to go into the details of the diagnostic labels they may not understand or only know bias about. So in may ways it is a “i am different/special” label used in a positive “but that shouldn’t matter” kind of way.
When the context is about getting the right help, the term does nothing. But what does carry weight are the right diagnostic criteria which professionals help has experience with and knows what set of tools are relevant.
It is known that technically speaking, adhd is part of the autism spectrum, but the good reason on why its kept distinct is because giving people with mild adhd the same access to help as an autism diagnosis might get you would exhaust the system and make it harder for those on the spectrum with severe challenges to find any help at all.
Hyper focus is an explicit trait of adhd where they have very intense focus on one single topic.
Also consider
Combination of both diagnosis is not uncommon and there is even a pattern where high level at functional masking autistic people get an adhd diagnosis in school long before autism is “discovered” in adulthood.
It has heen proposed that adhd, just like some other neurodivergences (ocd, dyslexia,…) should technically all belong on the autism spectrum, they are all about “the brains network of neurons being build in a non typical way”, which is also why everyone is still unique, but doing so would make it harder to medically label the specific needs of the more challenging forms of autism that need that label to get appropriate help.
Its another thing to literally be so autistic that the extremely bad repercussions simply don’t matter.
It wouldn’t really be a choice on my part. If society finds my existence so offensive they execute me for it thats a problem for their conscious not mine, i will die some day anyway and i am content to do so for not betraying what i know is right.
Feels bad for my family though but being an example of making unethical compromises is worse.
Autist here, i refuse orders on principle, the only way people can get me to do anything is to have me decide that i agree on doing so.
My expectations if i was ever forced in a military setting would be to get punished for Insubordination at a constant rate, i assume to get beaten, locked up, be given the extra shitty food (which i just wouldn’t eat).
When it comes to being put under pressure i have a lifetime of experience. They can hurt, torture me all they want but will never rule over my independent thoughts.
I am no hero, nor a vigilante but simply holding on to what i know is right is what gives me strengt. And while i expect coming out bruised, broken and traumatised it will stil not be close to the horrors my own mind will inflict on me for going against my nature.
Whether I would actually shoot someone giving me orders, depends on the person, the context and the orders. But chances are they will already know i am more trouble then worth something to them and wont be handed a weapon.
Since being a fully developed adult i more and more discover that i am full of phrases that i picked up/copied with intonation included but that i don’t actually understand and can’t really grammatically dissect to understand either.
The problem is i interpreted many of them a wrong way, so I believe i am expressing x as being helpful/friendly, but they understand y as mocking them or something completely different.
I would need a more specific example of this but if y already does not make sense then it makes some sense that z, which is a response to it, doesn’t either.
Personally i have used sarcasm this way where i respond to nonsense with nonsense. Because i want to point out that it is nonsense and the more socially friendly way to do so is by pretending it made sense sarcastically.
I have no idea what was up with the multiple steam windows, it did feel like he was actually cursed when that happened.
But the “weird control” issue in l4d2 which was then solved by using a custom launch command found on protondb… thats super real.
Eventually you learn to check protondb as a habit the second you encounter any kind of game issue but for a newcomer thats another hurdle.
I may be biased because my groceries are for a full household and i already find grocery stores to be one of the most exhausting places to go trough.
Actually i am biased twice, my grandma had circular stairs like this and they were an incredible safety hazard.
The stroller we have right now can fold and on normal stairs they would be fine but it be a 2 person job on these ones to take the corners. That means leaving the baby alone on either end (depending on household)
For a short vacation this might be fine but imagining to live here it would become such a pain. If some people are happy to live here, more power to them.
I am fortunate we have enough mental energy to go to stores to buy ingredients to cook our own meals most days.
Its similar, to what is referred to as “adhd-tax” I am still in this picture more then i would like.
