Good lord some of those are spot on.

There’s a lot of men telling on themselves in this thread. And everywhere else too.

…but no one is making this racist except those trying to cause arguments, and those who don’t understand what women are saying.

Yes, if someone said something racist and meant it, they’d be a racist. Women are not doing that.

No, no, no. Don’t you realize? Men are the real victims here! Eyeroll to end all eyerolls

if you’re trolling, I think you’re leaning too far into the stereotype.

Mr skeltal will save us.

Doot doot.

“I hear they’re reforming the Dawnguard, vampire hunters or something, in the old fort near Riften.”

I would say make the top bar the same or similar to the excellent title bars you’ve already got. Currently feels like they’re from 2 different systems.

EDIT my personal preference is to colour the minimize maximize close buttons.

Other ideas: round the corners just a tiny bit. Make the dock look more like the taskbar maybe. See if there’s examples from “Windows 95 Plus!” Which I think had extra themes.

EDIT 2: it looks great, you’ve done a good job here I like it!

She also has a cigarette in the other hand

Nice!

I’m trying to tell myself that I have no space for the Avengers Tower. I really want it though!

Yeah it’s weird. AWS has a Q LLM too: https://aws.amazon.com/q/

You’d think someone would tell them about qanon

They don’t have the talented programmers needed to make API changes happen.

reddit is an old school internet site. In that it was originally hacked together by very motivated people. But once the novelty wore off, and the tech debt started piling up, the motivated people either left or got promoted. It should have been trivial to add things like headline editing, but that never happened because their code and DB is a huge huge mess.

Overshadowed by the API fuckup was something that really spoke to how badly off they are. They deleted old private messages! Their schema or infrastructure is so utterly fucked up that they couldn’t roll back whatever made that happen. People lost years of communication, just gone. No backups, no “go to this new page to download an archive of your messages”, nothing.

It should have been easy to incorporate rate limiting into the API. It should have been easy to serve ads to 3rd party clients. It should have been a no brainer to charge heavy/advanced API users a nominal monthly fee. Mod tools should have been implemented over a motherfucking decade ago!

Utter incompetence. Completely clueless. Fucking useless.

It really angers me because they had it handed to them on a plate. But instead they fucked around and found out.

Been using orgzly for a while, I had no idea it was abandoned?

Looks really good, but I’ll stick with my favourite M+ Code, which I use in iTerm2, Emacs, and VSCode.

Edited to add: they have semiwide and wide, but no condensed? Weird. That contextual resizing is pretty cool though!

Apart from death and taxes, I think maybe drama is the 3rd universal constant.

I used Borg to backup a bunch of dev servers a few years ago, about 5TB from several dozen hosts, over several years. It worked flawlessly, and its dedupe is downright magical.

The restore workflow, where you just mount a snapshot and copy what you need, is fantastic. Very straightforward and reliable.

That’ll pay back those billions in debt!

I have a ploopy mouse and it’s utterly fantastic.

So many buttons and has QMK firmware so I have actual layers on my mouse!

Yeah you got it exactly. I’m not explaining stuff well today. I think I used up all my brain at work.

Honestly it sounds like you’re in a much better place than I was at 23! You’ve had therapy and you have a friend group. I think you’ll do ok.

Also, ugh ugh ugh on the pressure to change. I’m more than twice your age and got diagnosed this year. I spent decades thinking I was just broken and had to think and act the same as everyone else. I really wish I could tell myself, at your age, about what I’ve learned.

I’m autistic and so is my wife. We were friends first, then got talking as we both were dealing with shitty divorces. We’ve been together 13 years and our relationship just get better and better.

Don’t try to get dates using apps. They’re for a very specific set of attractive, charismatic, extroverted people. Not neurodiverse people. Some might have luck but nobody I know uses them.

Instead, in my subjective opinion, you should be joining social circles that contain the type of people you wish to date. Hobbies, clubs, sports, dog parks, volunteering, etc etc. All of which might be far outside your comfort zone and if so I apologize and I hope you don’t feel insulted. Basically you need to level up your social skills to attract prospective partners.

Of course, I met my wife online first, but it was on a forum, not a dating app. But I hope this helps in some way. Good luck!

EDIT: I didn’t date from age 17 to age 25 because I shut myself away. Only once I grew up a bit did I start getting interest from prospective partners.
