Foundational research on a topic does not help you, directly, no. It just lays foundations for more science later.

Could anyone pls explain it like I’m 5? Or perhaps 10?

Well, UBPorts still uses .click packages, those did not seem like good solution even in 2015… Those are just .deb files with a different extension and metadata.

Nowadays Flatpak seems more interesting, although… I personally prefer Debian packages.

I was always wishing the BlackBerry Classic would run the same OS, but FOSS and up-to-date and based on Linux.

The Classic will likely never come back (has not even been rooted yet), but it’s nice seeing an OS like that.

Hoping for tight XMPP integration into the hub and something like the BlachBerry Classic hardware-wise. With Mainline Kernel, USB-C and 5G. Ready for the next decade.

That would be my dream.

Can you already say “rødgrød med fløde”? :p

Also, many Danes will tell you to look for “Kamelåså” on Youtube, but if you haven’t had that experience yet, I highly recommend the short sketch.

Yeah, Disney songs actually are great for this, I’ve never watched Frozen, but I can sing the song in Norwegian.

(and a couple other languages)

Playing a bit faster can help, yes.

Have you tried listening to subject that interest you?

Don’t know about you, but my mind wanders little if I’m fascinated with something.

made my day

If there’ll be enough people working on it for quite some time and can figure everything out, then yes.

I’m not going to buy one just in case it gets support. It’s more likely I’ll be disappointed or would have to do it myself. And I’m already mainlining another phone, I really don’t have the capacity to work on this one as well, so… nope.

The SoC will be an unpublished MediaTek Dimensity 7000 series chipset. As it is still unpublished we can’t disclose details about it and need to wait the SoC vendor publications

Pretty sure there will be no mainline support at all…

I doubt it said “100 % neurotypical”, it gives a much more detailed result.

To me there are more things in there that seem autistic, but then it is also impossible to tell for sure from just one comment.

One thing in particular is noteworthy: Being friends with quite a few autistic people. Autistic people often end up becoming friends without knowing they’re autistic, just because they often connect much better than with neurotypicals.

One thing that is often associated with being autistic is fascination with flowing water, but ADHD folks could also find that fascinating, of course.

Some pretty good tips in there, thanks for posting this.

Although I could definitely not do any sports in the morning, I’m much closer to being a zombie the first two hours after waking up, lol

grams per pound xD

I thought just using imperial units was bad enough already, but this, lol

I know you aren’t joking, I’m also using that song to focus occasionally. Also, 1 hour BBC news intro.

Depending on your country it can sometimes take years to get an appointment, so you might have to ask several places and be patient. That’s why many people educate themselves and self-diagnose before they finally get an official diagnosis. Which makes sense, as it is mostly about understanding yourself better and not much else, so there’s little risk something could go wrong there, lol.

There are no specific symptoms, it’s too complex. There are things that often occur, but for some people the opposite might be true and they are still autistic.

The best to learn more is to read as much as you can and make sure what you read is good quality, as there’s a lot of bullshit out there when it comes ro autism.

Also, please don’t say “have autism”, that’s painful to read. People might be autistic, but they don’t “have” it.

Another thing to avoid: “person with autism” (It is: autistic person)

I definitely am like that and definitely am autistic.

Did you know autistics not only often struggle to talk to new people, but can also have friends… unlike what many people claim?

To me this sounds like AuDHD, but this is obviously far from a diagnosis and I’m not a professional, I merely have read so much that I sometimes know better (lol)

Jokes aside, try this: https://rdos.net/eng/Aspie-quiz.php

It’s so far the only online test that gets somewhat close to what a diagnosis would probably say and I’ve asked diagnosticians and they said it’s useful to get a first idea whether to seek a diagnosis, as this mostly looks the same as their questionnaires. Don’t forget to save the PDF with the full results at the end or you will have to do it again.
