m_r_butts@kbin.socialto Autism@lemmy.world•Be yourself and be true to who you are. Don't let neurotypical conditioning define your identity.1·2 years agoHow alone am I in disliking the word “allistic”? To me it feels like an outgrowth of a persecution fetish, literally defining an outgroup. Especially since it has zero mainstream adoption, where “non-autistic” is immediately clear to anyone.
I think this is funny, but it’s hard for me to hate too much on flatpaks. Disk space is practically free now, and having spent a good chunk of my career fighting DLL hell, I have a lot of sympathy for the problem it’s trying to solve.

m_r_butts@kbin.socialto Privacy@lemmy.ml•X's new privacy policy allows it to collect users' biometric data4·2 years agoI never understood why anyone was on it in the first place, unless it was to read Dril’s tweets, and you can buy those in books now.
m_r_butts@kbin.socialto Technology@lemmy.world•Scientologists Tell Feds They Don't Want Randos Repairing Their E-Meters6·2 years agoMeasuring galvanic skin resistance isn’t bullshit. But it’s certainly not telling them what they claim it does.
Devices of that type are usually advertised to consumers as biofeedback machines and used for detecting autonomic sympathetic arousal to train the user to control anxiety.
Because of the harsh consequences in Scientology of failing an auditing session, Scientologists also to learn to control their responses when they’re on a meter. In effect, users can train themselves to lie to it. This is how they end up with those stares that are somehow both intense and vacant.

m_r_butts@kbin.socialto News@lemmy.world•26 states see ‘substantial’ spike in COVID hospitalizations, CDC says92·2 years agoI’d like to see some absolute numbers before I panic about percentages. 12 people instead of 10 is a 20% increase.
I was slogging my way through TOS season 2 this week and had to go watch TNG for a while to be rejuvenated by a captain who actually listens to his officers.
A reasonable concern but also a shame, because data is data and PornHub has a massive userbase. I trust Backblaze stats for hard drives because they just have a shit-ton of real-world metrics. I’m inclined to trust PornHub stats for the same reason.
