To be fair, all birds who went extinct back then also still had a common ancestor somewhere, all life on earth does.

Stahp, my games already perform better on linux with wine then they did on windows at this rate…

Actually please keep going !!!

Its uncanny for most people to look at themselves in photos or video because we are so used to seeing our mirror reflections instead.

Same can be reasoned with acoustics. The sounds we speak are made inside your throat and mouth, practically already resonating within the skull. It’s bound to sound different than what a microphone some feet away will pick up.

Feels like an imposter compared to how you know yourself.

Every organisation with a digital front should host their own servers and data.

I believe its ridiculous how we evolved into paying massive amounts of money just to have someone else own and possibly mistreat our data.

You have it backwards.

German in German is “Deutsch” or “Duits” in Dutch.

Dutch in Dutch is “Nederlands” or “Niederländisch” in German.

“Deutch” comes from an old high german word “diutisc” which meant “of the people”

“Dutch” comes from “Diest” meaning “people’s language”

When the Romans invaded England, they important the Latin “Germania” to refer to Germany and gradually started to use “Dutch” for the common people of the “lower countries” (Belgium and Netherlands)

I have tried snac before as a minimalist fediverse server but the blog style layout isn’t really for me.

I have also considered wether a personal Lemmy is a good idea or not.

Counter argument, every year is the year of the linux desktop because its a good meme to share our enthusiasm for the platform.

Also any year that someone switches their main desktop to linux is the year of the linux desktop for them personally.

It doesn’t have to mean anything beyond it, there is no failure condition or something to chase.

It is so undervalued for how amazing streaming your own music collection is.

In my experience the suppressing of the impulsive parts of my brain also suppressed my natural curiosity.

I can agree on being more alert but i feel the stay interested is assumption.

Spoken like someone who doesn’t visit public spaces.

To answer the question directly:

Yes, so common its a textbook level stereotype.

But i am willing to argue what it really is, because as i have come to realise a definite line between child and adult hood does not actually exist.

As people grow older social life becomes more complex and how hou are perceived plays a big role. People are thought that acting grown up is good and are belittled for acting childish.

Teens eventually distance themselves from their childhood as an attempt to seem more mature to their peers. Even if they secretly really stil love that thing.

Autists often lack the luxury to do this, your same aged peers have seen through your young mask time and time before, they know your different you are already an outsider.

Because you don’t have a high social standing that you can lose on a whim it matters less if people continue to see you “being weird” and you found you really like those things… in a world where there are many things you don’t.

But its not that autism directly makes you like things we deem childish, its that we are more honest about what we like, and society is following us here. Just have a look at all the Pokémon and Hogwarts stuff for adults. Spongebobmemes.

Adults who play is decreasingly no longer a taboo and the stereotype will fall.

But there is also the related stereotype of having friends outside your age group. Basically for those people it’s easier to mask.

Younger kids see a cool older kid that isn’t belittling them for being kids and even plays with them. You’re the coolest person in the world for them if you do that.

Older people just see a young inexperienced someone all the way while being experienced enough to be less judgmental and more practical socially. They have no need or desire to be rude at you because you are not competing for a social standing like teens are in school.

I once read about an idea of putting rice grain sized measuring devices all over an agricultural field with a mesh network to collect all kinds of the data for farming

Then a coworker asked how we would remove such e-waste eventually.

ADD and autism are one stone trow removed from each other most people that have one have a little of both.

From a neurodivergent perspective they are all the same bigger spectrum that includes dyslexia, cdc, ocd…

I think its very likely your mom is overworked partly because she is also juggling her own challenges between it all.

You didn’t mention a lot of details about your dad but same kinds stick togetger so i am highly suspecting there is no one in your family that isn’t or wasn’t a “special kid”

NTA

You said you feel like this is your fault, but really how would it be. You are just a kid trying to make sense of your life and survive.

And so is your sister.

Your mother sounds overworked and ridden with self doubt. But what i am missing here is some general knowledge about autism.

It seems your treated as different, “the special one” but autistic reality is that were all just different combinations of individual brain modules.

Do those modules mostly work like most other people, you’re neurotypical. Do they work differently you’re neurodivergent.

But you don’t develop autistic brain-functions out of nowhere. Parts are almost certainly inherited. You might have a mix that enhances some aspects but i can guarantee you’re are in a family of neurodivergent. Unofficially but helpful you may privately consider your family members to be “different kind of autistic” rather then “normal” incl your mom.

Your mom panicking about your sister is a big tell, she seemed spooked. It is possible your sister is going trough depression, which may be a side effect of underlying neurodivergence which she might need help for.

Your parents would need to break the stigma and treat both you and your sister as equals who can grow themselves with each their own proficiencies and challenges and needs.

This probably means trusting you with some more independence, and allowing your sister to express that she needs extra care. A possible angle to suggest something is a dokter once told Me “What works for autistic people often works for everyone” you don’t have to discuss wether or not they are autistic (people get really upset if you do that) but you can affirm that she needs some of the care that they give you, while you want the space to grow to not need it anymore.

Good luck!

Our upbringing leaves huge impressions on us that help us shape who we become, but a prison implies a freedom you are kept away from.

If we had no upbringing whatsoever (how would that look like?) would we have more potential?

Even if we could engineer the perfect adult body to be born as, would we retain our reality of unique individual lives or would we all become the same flavour of person?, limiting the range of what humans combined can experience (highs and lows).

I’d argue the restrictive prison is individual life itself, you can never become someone else that exists or experience things as different species. You can only really experience your own perspective of lived experiences.

The people around you are modifiers they may enable you, hinder you but others are never and never have been in charge of your person, regardless of how much they/parents may pretend to be.

Wrong community but i want to give this a fair assessment because of how many don’t want to unity against the rich thinking they are it and would have to live with less.

This scenario is not ruling class.

Summarised its wealthy business owner that owns plural properties.

This can be considered high end middle class. And is a good example of how little most people really have. The Middle class that most people believe they belong to is basically just business owners nowadays, almost everyone who is “employee” and not owner is lower class.

The actual rich, 1% upper class which will look at this family and person as dirt.

The 1% upper class does not just stay in a 5 star hotel as if it was note worthy expense. Their accommodations are simply arranged and provided.

They’d laugh at “owns a resort” because thats just a single asset to put on their portfolio of ownerships.

They don’t consider whether or not something is egypt because they are free to fly wherever they want.

The rich will swallow this wealthy person and family whole if their greed finds them.

To be more technical correct, all ideals go out of the window the moment a shareholder pushes a little.

Apple has been one of the wealthiest countries for years, they don’t need money, they can’t be doing this just for money.

They are doing it, to get more money yes, but only in order to make the angle of a line go up so they can sell a comfortable illusion to the people keeping them in charge of the available unimaginable mass of wealth already there.

I have done research into what product i should buy three times and i am still not sure enough to answer this. That says enough about how confusing the modern tech market is.

They are definitly proprietary and a competitor to LDAC from sony. Finding something that supports both sennheiser and sony headsets without being overpriced is a nightmare.

The renaming while still selling it with older packaging for years has been angering me since it happend.

Honestly it would not be so much of a problem if things where actually labeled appropriately with all the actual specs and support features on the package but its more profitable to keep you guessing (and going for the higher priced one just in case)

They do the same thing with Bluetooth audio transmission usb, their “high quality audio” and “ps5 compatible” but does not tell me wether it supports aptx or not?

Also the whole “buy a product clearly pictured with usb A type connector, receive a usb C type connector variant, if lucky, with an added adapter.

Cannot find the source for the pick but there is this where Bernie covers all the same points in different words:
