Nonprofits are allowed to make a profit. They just have to roll it back into the operation. (Can't hand it out to shareholders, board members, etc.)

Ditched this crapware for Jellyfin several years ago. Glad I did. It's been great.

My go-to is folks, but 1000 others have mentioned that already. So I will throw in "people".

"Hey people, how's it going?"

That works for me

I have a Bambu A1, and yes it really is a great printer. The firmware BS is crossing a line though, and that company will not get another dollar from me. My next printer will be a Prusa or a Voron.

I have just changed from fastmail (Australian owned, but hosted in the US) to mailbox.org (German owned and hosted, as I understand it).

The reasoning is that I didn't want my email provider to be reliant on a US hosting service. This graphic has fastmail as a preferred choice though, and doesn't mention mailbox.org at all.

How the *world works

I just did some experimenting, and in duckduckgo.com at least, searches like this work quite well:

"Best CPU (site:lemm.ee OR site:lemmy.world OR site:lemmy.ca)"

Not exactly user friendly, but it's a starting point. At least two ways forward:

1. A browser plugin with a config page allowing you to select/deselect your favourite instances, and make a bang operator to suit: e.g. "!lemmy"

2. Petition search engines to do this themselves.

Thanks. I have removed my gitlab and github accounts. If I need something in future, I'll use Codeberg.

Thanks. In some ways, with or without the diagnosis, I already have a lot of things explained (and relatable stories, hints, tips, systems - whatever I can glean from other people's experiences). I guess I would like a pro to agree, to reduce the imposter syndrome a bit. And help me feel like I am home, at last! 🤞

You are absolutely right. Whatever the outcome, I will have learned something. Probably about me, or possibly about the doc. I can always go for a second opinion if needed. I hope it is not necessary, because I don't have the energy frankly! Thank you though. I am hopeful I am right, it would explain a great deal of things. We'll see what happens.

Thanks. Autism is the best fit I can find to date. I have not seen any doctor for approx. ten years. Last time I went to a doctor it was a psychiatrist that gave me an ADHD diagnosis, but I am not great at following up on things.

It was suggested to me a few years since then, also a few years ago (by a layperson) that I should look into Autism. I dismissed it at the time, because all I knew about autism was what I had found out through mass media which is nothing like what you find out through people's experiences, or books etc.

Long story short, the more I look into it the more it feels like the correct fit. But the more it feels like the correct fit, the more weight the expert opinion seems to have. And, an answer of "get out of here you lazy git" would be a bit crushing at this point, precisely because the symptoms seem to fit and explain my life so well.

I take what you are saying though about expert opinions sometimes being less than infallible.

I am going to the appointment tomorrow though, no matter what. Will report back!

Thanks again.

Well said. Thank you for helping me to clarify my own thoughts on this.

On android at least, yes there is a duck duck go browser.

Not enough 😑

Thanks, you're right, I could have left a short summary. Here you go:

It's a TED talk from Carole Cadwalladr, a British Investigative Journalist, about the rise of technology, the downfall of democracy and the broad data/privacy problems that we all face.

Re: clickbait junk. Uh ok. If you say so 👍

Thanks that's good to know. I've got a Dyson V8 and I also have a fair sized collection of Bosch blue 18V stuff. But my point was really that DeWalt 20V and Bosch 18V (for example) is the same number of cells and same pack voltage at different points in the charge cycle. It's just that one is marketed differently.

Thank you. This is my hope. I had previously decided (loosely) that I didn't need a diagnosis, and that I would just muddle through. Can't remember now exactly what triggered it, but a few weeks ago I decided this is worth pursuing. I have done a few questionnaires and it all points the same way. Soon, I can stop wondering!

I have a bit of a split response to this. On one hand, I have a workshop which is absolutely packed with tools, machines, materials and so on. I can make and repair almost anything in there. Many people would look in the workshop and assume I am a hoarder.

But as far as my living space, I love a clean, uncluttered place. I will get rid of kitchen gadgets, books, disks, furniture, clothes, etc if it is not adding something useful or beautiful to my life. I have half a dozen matching t-shirts same for underwear and socks. I will regularly go through out kitchen cupboards and take things we can't/don't use to other people or food bank etc. I am a frequent visitor of the "tip shop" near where I live and things get repurposed and rehomed there. I love a clean streamlined life, I would be more streamlined if the people I live with were more into that mindset 😁

Nice
