  • (Autistic person here, working on expressing my emotions too) You could try a feelings wheel. There are a few different designs that work on different principles, but the general idea is that they show the relationships between different emotions. I attached a few here so you can see which one works for her best.

  • What's the deal with Signal?

    Jump

  • Different people don't like it for different reasons. Some people don't like it because they think it has CIA financial backing (nope), and some people don't like it because it requires your phone number, therefore it is not private (the privacy it provides is more than sufficient for anyone not actively being persecuted by a Five Eyes state), and some people don't like it because it feels corporate (it's a 501c3 nonprofit, and how corporate it feels is subjective).

  • I get distracted/overwhelmed fairly easily, so GNOME is a godsend. minimalistic top bar + on demand workspaces to throw my extra windows into = I can actually get stuff done.

    What insulting words or phrases have you heard americans being called ?

    Jump

  • It's Cockney rhyming slang. If you want to come up with a slang term for a something, you take something that rhymes "yank → septic tank" and then cut it down "septic tank → seppo"

  • Looking for a good representation of an autistic character in NT social settings. Any recommendations?

    Jump

  • Star Trek: Discovery has Cadet Sylvia Tilly, a character who's not identified as autistic but is very coded as such (e.g. in her first scene, she seems to have trouble with picking up on social cues and talks a lot, and she had to get a different fabric for her bedsheets because of "special needs"). her portrayal is very respectful and positive, and as all the characters get to know each other they make an active effort to be understanding and accommodating towards her and treat her like the capable officer she is

  • I looked up the Open Technology Fund on Wikipedia and it has no relation to the CIA. well, except that its parent agency (Radio Free Asia) is part of the US government like the CIA is. they don't seem to work together at all, and they're under the purview of two different branches of government

    besides, as other commenters have said, they're open source and they've been audited. anyone can build the client themselves (with any potential backdoors removed) and set up their own server. would the CIA allow for that?

  • Signal was developed with financial backing by the CIA, so do with that information what you will.

    source?

  • Is there such a thing as a bullshit-free news agency?

    Jump

  • NPR News is probably what you're looking for. sports and celebrity stuff is relegated to the Culture section, which is its own separate thing (although there are a couple of music stories that seem to have been misplaced). here is the RSS feed for the News section: https://feeds.npr.org/1001/rss.xml

  • What's the dumbest blockbuster movie you have seen that somehow received high praise?

    Jump

  • he absolutely carried Stargate Atlantis, it was weird to see him in Aquaman

  • What's the dumbest blockbuster movie you have seen that somehow received high praise?

    Jump

  • Aquaman. the visual effects were ridiculous, the characters were one-dimensional, the soundtrack was...something, and the overall tone was that of a testosterone firehose to the face. i said the eight deadly words about halfway through, and i was thoroughly bored out of my mind despite action scene after action scene after action scene...the only reason why i didn't just get up and leave was because i was watching with a group

  • New Windows AI feature records everything you’ve done on your PC

    Jump

  • try $ sudo apt install akmod-nvidia. it's gonna pull in some dependencies and a proprietary driver, and probably break Secure Boot if you have it set up, but that's how i got it to work on Fedora (except i used dnf, of course)

  • What things do you refuse to pirate?

    Jump

  • i refuse to pirate indie games. i will always buy games that are independently released or from small publishers because 1. they're just trying to break even (unlike publishers like EA and Activision who have millions of fans lining up to buy their repetitive junk) and 2. they almost never have DRM. i'll also buy my music for similar reasons; 99% of artists can barely make a living and i really do not want to contribute to that statistic
