Average xdg noncompliance moment.

Rust and C are the same “tier” of performance, but GNU coreutils has the benefit of several decades of development and optimization that the Rust one needs to catch up with.

This would never happen if it were licensed under GPL. /s

Is the only reason they don’t have AI because they just don’t have the resources to set up and run their own models and bots?

There’s not much here beyond what you want to accomplish. Writing what you want is the easy process, actually writing it is where motivation goes to die. :P

In terms of the content itself, where are you going to source information from? How are you going to ensure the information is accurate and usefull? How are you going to cover the idea that no two neurodivergent people are alike? Who are you going to talk to?

One thing that did jump out at me though is the following:

Terms like “neurodivergent” are intentionally avoided unless selected by the user.

I’d be interested to hear your reasoning behind this. Claiming “neurodivergent” is pathologising language is a common dogwhistle used by those who don’t value our right to self identify or organise.

Syncing software is not a backup. I’ve had cases where they get confused and end up deleting data. They’ll also blindly copy over corrupted or randomwared files.

Imagine falling into lava and hearing “It’s-a okay Kühlschrank, we-a all make-a mistakes”.

Non-adhd autistic person here and I think I have that too. Annoyingly the thing I focus on is my anxiety. Conventional wisdom is to keep myself distracted, but even when doing that the anxiety cogs are still turning in the background.

As another commenter said, I wouldn’t be surprised if non-autistic people have the same thing.

Firstly, I apologise for calling this AI earlier. It still looks strange, but it could just be your camera doing some fancy upscaling or something.

As mentioned elsewhere, there’s a lot of misinformation about what causes autism, usually caused by shoddy research which is then pushed to easily swayed people. Sadly this seems to be the same.

Having a quick read of it, all 8 of the papers it cites for autism fall into the same trap of blindly trusting autism diagnosis rates from hospitals.

All this paper has proven is one of (at least) the following:

• Painkillers cause or trigger autism.
• Parents who use painkillers are more likely to seek an autism diagnosis.
• Parents carrying an autistic child are more likely to use painkillers.
• Parents carrying an autistic child are less likely to lie about what substances they use.
• Parents who have access to painkillers are more likely to have access to mental health services.

That would require aibros to actually do work rather than have the machine do everything. :P

Are we still doing this? Haven’t we already figured out that it has a partially genetic component that’s more likely to be active when the mother gets pregnant later in life.

Edit: Anyone else getting AI vibes when zooming in on the image? The distortion is wierd and there’s nothing on the page to the right.

Exfat does not support permissions, so when it gets moved to the drive, that information is lost.

If permission information is important to you and compatibility with non-linux devices isn’t, you can reformat the device as ext4 to support all linux features.

I’m a Linux Mint user and I’ve not had many problems using Steam as a Flatpak.

If you’re currently running on LMDE and are enjoying it, why not just switch to the “vanilla” non-debian Mint? It should be similar enough to what you’re used to, but with more up to date software.

The problem is checking for malware: It’s very hard to do that and a lot of malware has evolved attempts to avoid detection.

If you’re itching to test Orion for Linux, you’ll have to wait. No public builds are available yet, and when testing versions do arrive, they’ll initially be restricted to paid Orion+ and Kagi subscribers.

If reading this has you itching to try it out, you’ll have to wait. No public builds of Orion’s Linux port are available for testing, and when available, the plan is to only give paid Orion+ and Kagi subscribers first dibs – crushing, but there is a reason for it.

Seems they didn’t give it a proofread before publishing. :p

Wasn’t that when Whatwg took over the spec?

So the narrative is that Rust somehow, through being released only through one distro, is going to use that influence to force incompatible changes into other codebases. Despite the fact that any change to shell scripts that isn’t posix compatible brings opinionated people out the woodwork. And then they’re going to pivot to releasing a proprietary version of coreutils that somehow has killer features that the open source version lacks despite coreutils being 30 years old.

Also the guy pushing for it once worked for a government so that means he can’t be trusted ever again.

It’s just a fucking bunch of programs that act as thin wrappers around C functions. There’s nothing novel that needs protecting or is hard to implement.

As I understand it, Steam has a report feature on their store page for reporting games. Presumably that goes to a person that looks at it.

I think to upload games to Steam you also need to prove your identity. Which means if you do upload malware, then it’s easy to track you down.

Of course, that takes time and things can slip through the cracks. Steam games are still full programs that run on your computer and can do anything a regular program can do, there’s no sandboxing.

Treat them like you would apps on the Google Play store; assume that they’re mostly safe but also give additional scrutiny to ones with low review counts or AI generated images.

Is it likely? No. Is it possible? Yes.

If you want to make absolutely sure that Windows can’t spy on anything, you’ll need to physically remove the storage device containing Linux when booting.

A more practical but slightly less secure approach is to enable full disk encryption on Linux. Then, if Windows does decide to get sneaky it’ll only see random data.

This doesn’t prevent hostile code such as ransomware from destroying the data though. For that, you need to have good backup hygene.

A good backup system is to have automatic daily backups to some online cloud storage provider, and weekly or monthly backups to a physical device you keep disconnected and safe.
