No app is completely uninstallable. But the one app in Iodé that can’t at least be uninstalled via system settings is the Iodé tracking protection.

Iodé is considered one of the more secure custom ROMs and friends of mine and me are quite happy with it (running on a Terracube 2e, a Fairphone 3, and a Fairphone 4).

TOS in the early 90s.

Boy, was I disappointed, when I discovered how old it already was 😅.

Sweat pants and hoodies with high cotton-percentage

If you liked Voyager, you will like Prodigy I would say. It is for the young (at heart).

I love dogs! I don’t have one yet, but I most certainly will. I’m pretty sure it will help me cope with stress.

I’ll try to keep it short. These are the things I love doing, even though I sometimes don’t have the energy for any of it, except lying in my bed. Being autistic can be quite exhausting.

…tinkering with alternative operating systems for notebooks and smarties.

…watching Star Trek - grew up with it and just don’t get tired of (re-)watching. My fav is Voyager.

…playing video games - my favs are Loz - Breath of the Wild and Horizon - Zero Dawn

…reading - mainly SF, fantasy, and non-fic. My fav authors are Stephen Baxter, Robin Hobb, and Henry David Thorau.

…strength training - one of my rooms was turned into a training room.

…cycling - I own an almost 20 years old Specialized Rockhopper and prefer day trips.

…travelling and hiking with my GF - mainly in remote areas such as Lapland for example.

… lying in my bed, since it is the one place with the least sensory triggers.

Edit: just to follow up on this. I have just been diagnosed with Autism. I am extremely relieved.

Glad to hear. All the best!

Fingers crossed. I know from my own experience that it can make all the difference in the world to finally have a lot (!) of things explained. (Got my diagnosis at the age of 34, ten years ago.)

I got ill and luckily took the time to watch this. As a huge fan of Star Trek and Janeway I love it!

Most autistic people struggle with sensoric overload due to a decreased ability to filter stimuli. In my case there are almost no special triggers but the multitude of stimuli, foremost accoustic ones, followed by visual ones, followed by haptic ones. For me it is very important to minimize them by using ANC, a basecap and/or sunglasses as well as large and soft clothes

Apart from that he most important thing is to recognize when I’m starting to melt down and then to grant myself a timeout as soon as possible. Therefore I had to learn what helps me to relax the most. Being in a room with only a little light and sound, read a book, play a game, watch my favourite TV series … If in the office or the public I sometimes retreat to the toilet, which is embarassing to admit but kind of helps.

Thx for pointing out and enjoy.

Yeah, sure looks like a fork of FairMail and that GUI was always irritating me. I’ll stick with K9.

Moin,

ich hatte zur Zeit meiner Diagnose, also vor 10! Jahren, das Glück, dass die Warteliste der Autismusambulanz der Charité geöffnet war. Allerdings ist diese im Moment auch geschlossen.

Es gibt darüber hinaus auch Ärzte, die eine Diagnose anbieten. Allerdings, so mein Kenntnisstand, muss man das dann selbst bezahlen.

I got nothing to add to the comments already written but wanted to say “thanks for sharing”, 'cause I’m in this mood now for weeks. It’s like I’m waiting for something to happen without knowing what this something is. Luckily I’m going on holidays a few weeks from now. So: Thank you for sharing.

Though they are double the price you mentioned as a limit, I want to recommend the ones I’m using for other people in need of really good NC headphones coming to this thread.

I got myself refurbished Bose Quiet Comfort 45 and in my opinion they are perfect. I use them to blend out noise in public transport, museums, shopping malls, the office and so on. I can wear them for hours without my ears hurting or the battery running out. They really improved my quality of life.

Nah, I’m using it for work, to write proposals and documentation - that’s all. And I always include a “written with AI” disclaimer.

Exactly what I did yesterday and it felt so good.

Actually it was my (former) partner, not me, who suggested it.

Thank you for sharing this! Will have a look into Krishnamurti’s work and might even reread “Brave New World”.
