@GreenRoc @hellomiakoda @KatyElphinstone As a German, I imagine that learning English spelling must be hell for autistic kids. The fact that there seem to be no rules to connect spelling and pronounciation and that everything is more or less arbitrary must be really problematic.

@rmblaber1956 @GreenRoc @hellomiakoda @KatyElphinstone Yeah, German syntax is not for the faint of heart. :) But in the specific context of autistic traits, it has the advantage of being very rule-based. Lots of rules, some of them maddeningly complicated, but there are rules.

@GreenSkyOverMe @AnarchoNinaWrites I can also remember this from West Germany up to the 1980s. Tetrapacks replaced those things extremely fast at some point, but the bags did absolutely exist.

@dansup Christine has definitely mastered the art of prototrolling, which is a portmanteau of protocol and trolling that I just made up.

@futurebird @GreenSkyOverMe Cool, thanks a lot! I‘ll let you know about the surface tension problem as soon as I‘ve solved the issue with my power plug and the oversized receptacle I didn‘t think about.
This plan sounded better when I was bigger.

@futurebird @GreenSkyOverMe I‘ll be really tiny and use that as a chance to finally clean some finicky things I own. Would it be possible to get my pressure washer shrunk together with me? That one would really help when having a go at my vaporizer.

@GreenSkyOverMe @DeliaChristina I love the example of LLMs providing GaaS (gaslighting as a service). This is 100% typical LLM output that can be easily recognized as such - and still, OP could be convinced to doubt themselves instead of assuming that the slop machine slopped slop.
I do not want to live in this timeline anymore. :(

@foobarblubb @GreenSkyOverMe Ja gut, aber wenigstens wusstest Du, dass Du nach der Vorband gehen kannst, wenn Dir danach ist. Da fehlt IMHO der Unsicherheitsfaktor, der die Sache für mich ziemlich schwer zu ertragen macht.

@GreenSkyOverMe Viel schlimmer finde ich Vorbands. Man kennt die meist nicht und man weiß nie genau, wann der Kram endlich vorbei ist und das losgeht, weshalb man sich widerwillig in eine Menschenmasse hat drängen lassen.

@quincy Ich weiß genau, worauf Du Dich beziehst. Bei mir waren es "Gastkroketten". Auch schön.

@kaia Wow. Have you reported that to Sanifair? I am under the impression that they generally make a real effort at providing reasonable service for the money they get.

@seism0saurus @GreenSkyOverMe Meine Eltern wollten sich Photovoltaik aufs Dach bauen, aber die Schwurblernachbarin hat sie so lange wegen der gefährlichen Strahlen genervt, bis sie den Plan aufgegeben haben. Nicht, dass sie den Blödsinn geglaubt hätten, aber sie wollten endlich ihre Ruhe vor der Trulla haben…

@kaia Fallout 76 was, as far as I'm aware of, the only title of the series I didn't play. Why the hell would I want to interact with PEOPLE when gaming? I do that during work hours. Don't want that in the wasteland.

@kaia Perhaps they could make it look less like Brandenburg in the fall. I'd like it then.

@kaia You establish a SAFe project structure, thus making sure that the actual coding will be pushed back by meetings until the original problem has been solved in some other way.

@kaia "Normal" is a euphemism for "boring AF" that was invented by boring people.
