Either you innovate or you pay that company $32M every summer forever
Let me guess, you belong to the people who call an ananas a pine apple?
So privacy first first and privacy last second, interesting combo

Sir, this is the US
Oops, it’s ASD in English (but ASS in German)
Another “no idea about the situation im CA” comment, but I think this is pretty the same everywhere (in Western countries).
Personally I suspected I have some ASD symptoms but that I actually have ADHD. But now it’s clear I have no ADHD and I will learn later today whether I get clinically diagnosed with ASD. By now it’s clear I have some symptoms very strongly, some rather mildly and some probably not at all. Knowing this has already helped me deal with myself better (e.g. less fighting against my nature where I now know they’re lost battles anyway) so the formal diagnosis matters less at this point. But it would enable me to get more insurance-paid therapy to start into this “new life” and I could make some demands at work of I feel them necessary (currently that only includes keeping a fixed/own desk when we soon switch to shared desks, but that might change the more I learn about my needs).
In your situation, particularly if you’re hesitant about seeing a professional about this, I’d read some books on the matter. I think there are three important categories and I recommend reading at least one of each: 1) scientifically(-inclined) ones that explain the “theory” (like those by Atwood), 2) first-hand experiences (auto-biographies and such) and 3) guidebooks (how to deal with it as an adult or as an employee or such).
Edit: Oh, I forgot one benefit of being formally diagnosed. Or maybe they’re two. Autism fairly frequently comes together with other psychological syndromes/whatnot, and a psychologist should be able to identify them which might further help you. Autism also fairly frequently is the cause for other psychological illness and a formal Autism diagnosis might speed up your access to help (and medication), e.g. when you suffer from depression.
Edit: oops, it’s ASD in English, fixed
I can’t speak for the church staff, but personally it’s just much more convenient to do it on my work laptop.
Also, my employer isn’t allowed to monitor me without good reason. So yea, I don’t even disable the VPN to my office for it.
Will Google really manage to make it impossible to root your phone?
Google has managed this years ago, but it’s optional. There was a fairly short timeframe when most phone makers enforced it, but now most allow power users to disable the security and root their phones. But usually they will disable some security-sensitive features like Samsung Knox. And many security-sensitive apps like banking apps will not let you run them anymore (if yours does, great for you, but that also means your bank’s security is shit, just FYI).
If you use 1 rubel coins, sure. Personally, I prefer to splurge on TP.
Let me know once the 50 rubel note is cheaper than a sheet of TP.
6 GHz is around 50mm iirc
Yes, a faraday cage does work. But note that modern wifi uses high frequencies, which means fairly small waves (edit: of about 5cm). That means your faraday cage needs a meshing of maximum ~2cm 1.25cm. The tighter the less signals it will let through.
Essentially, any mesh storage box should do the trick.
Products of Chinese companies aren’t really a good alternative for different reasons
Gonna get fucked in the ass either way
What kind of sugars are so low in calories that you can add 20g of them but end up with just 120 (kilo)calories?
Must be really hard to resist the urge to sue Musk over this branding, force him to cease using it, and then directly rebrand Threads as X. Just to rub it in.
Or maybe better, create a new payment platform that is tightly coupled to their social media platforms and call that X.
I think some of us also had hopes that the new CEO would put a leash on Musk and steer Twitter into calmer waters again, but this was just proof that Musk is still doing wtf he wants and the CEO is just there for show. So people have now abandoned their last bit of hope and therefore abandoned T…I mean X as well.
While I haven’t been an active user in a longer time, I’ve still been a very active lurker until Musk took over. By now, I’ve only checked Twitter every now and then when bored, to see what happened (as I mostly used Twitter as some kind of news feeds for stuff I couldn’t easily follow in any other way). But today I started migrating off completely - going through my follow list one by one and finding ways to follow those things (like local police, local town, local zoo, etc.) in other ways.
For some that means slower news, or only the most important news - which kinda sucks, as e.g. local police info were good to have in real time during major events or when there was some protest going on. For some this even means mailing lists, ugh.
And a few I couldn’t replace at all, so I’ll miss out on those news. Sucks, but hopefully those people/entities will provide their news feed through some better means sometime now.
How the fuck was Uber supposed to help traffic? That’s the most American take on solving traffic issues I’ve read in a while.
