We end up with allists in power because the ones willing to hurt others in the pursuit of power usually aren't autistic.

None of the autists I know show the slightest draw to power. The most I can say is that we're driven to find influence by a sense of injustice.

An autist will (in my limited experience) gladly give up a position of power (e.g. give a patent away or give up copyright) if it benefits the world.

Ever wanted to know what a new place will be like before going? Noise levels, lighting, sensory stimulation?

Now we can help each other find our way and be prepared too!

In my family (we live in Berlin) that stance is called the Berlin Bear, and we use it to signify we've successfully done a thing.

E.g. (in Berlin Bear stance) "Dishes done!!"

People have been working on making Linux more available for decades now. It's at the stage where it's probably more intuitive, more usable and more friendly than Windows ever was.

Yes, it's different, and thus requires investment in familiarizing yourself with a different os, but it's no worse than going, say, from win10 to win11.

The "Linux is for nerds" meme has to die.

@hazelnot
Neither is Microsoft's latest os, whatever that is. Every time I have to use one I'm completely confused because each version has a completely different interface.

Honestly Classic Gnome on Ubuntu would be so much more familiar to anyone who was there for the Win95/XP/Vista era than modern Windows interfaces.

People get used to what they're given. Don't underestimate people. They can learn a new interface pretty quickly. They have been doing so for decades.

@hazelnot
Which is just as good a reason not to upgrade to the latest Windows as it is to not switch to Linux.

People should not have to deal with new, confusing interfaces when they don't have the mental bandwidth to do so, but that applies equally to both. Linux is not special in that way.

Hello, I'm Mux. I'm a #neurospicy, #queer musician based in #Germany and I'm having a bit of financial hardship.

Long story short, I got burned out, fired, diagnosed with #depression and #fibromyalgia, and refused any kind of assistance from the state.

Currently I'm surviving by scavenging my wife's dental fund, but that bill will come due soon enough.

Goal: 0/3000€
