If I’m going to be an optimist, the post says “People didn’t previously get diagnosed because a bad upbringing is just abuse and not diagnosis” and this person is saying “with a good upbringing, you get help with diagnosis instead of abuse.” No joke involved. just “The secret to not having miserable kids is not abusing them.”

Obviously the negative take would be “Abusing your child until they behave ‘normal’ is a good upbringing because it ‘helps’ them blend in”

Which one was it? 🤷 Poe’s law kinda means it’s impossible to know if this is sarcasm or not. I’m not about to go digging through someone’s post history to find out their attitude on the topic.

For a purely semantic sake, you’re probably right. But for a colloquial sake, the term “valid” here, doesn’t mean “legally valid” or “medically valid”, but instead means “emotionally valid.” For some people, confirmation is therapeutic enough to help. Also “diagnosis” doesn’t exclusively mean “medical diagnosis”. There are many definitions to the word, and in a medical sense, it usually means what you’re describing. But “I think I have ADHD” is a diagnosis. Not a medically valid one, but something that might help me get through the day sometimes. And if that’s all I need, then it’s emotionally valid.

Being told “your self diagnosis is not valid” to some people is the same as being told “There’s nothing wrong with you.” (Because most people aren’t working on a strict legal medical definition of “diagnosis”) Emotionally validating your assessment that something is wrong can very well be what drives people to advocate for a medically valid diagnosis.

Also, saying “You don’t have ADHD unless it’s diagnosed ADHD” is wrong regardless of stance on self diagnosis. If my arm is broken, it is in fact broken, even if it hasn’t been diagnosed. Undiagnosed issues are still issues. Too many anti-self diagnosis claims come across as saying that if you don’t have a diagnosis it doesn’t exist. At most you can claim “You don’t know for sure you have ADHD unless it’s medically diagnosed”

As with all things, a self evaluation is a useful “what do I do next” step.

That didn’t take long.

Sure. but there are plenty of reasons to not read other than “uneducated”. And associating ability to focus with intelligence and education isn’t fair either.

If an American couldn’t tell me how many states there are, I would question their intelligence.

If an American told me that they don’t read books, I would just assume they find books boring.

I also hate “reading a book” as a proxy metric for intelligence. I know plenty of cultured smart people who watch documentaries but don’t read. And I know some dense, not that bright people who read a lot of Twilight style books.

The circle was proposed by experts who said “if you’re going to build something this dumb, a circle will require much less space and cause less problems for animal migration patterns” and promptly ignored by MBS.

tl;dw - MBS murders anyone who opposes him, so no one will tell him it’s a bad idea (Jamal Khashoggi voiced opposition to the plan). Also, it’s a bit of a stunt to attract tourists (compared to something like the Burj Khalifa) and has a bunch of promises that are just patently not viable, as opposed to an actually thought out project. ~24m into the video, the proposal for a circle is dropped in as a better alternative (albeit still crazy)

Watch the video. Ikea isn’t even mentioned. There’s a lot of explanations for a lot of different aspects.

I have a few cheap TLDs because as an individual I didn’t want to pay a lot of money for the dot com versions. But I’m not a company.

From the neovim 0.10 changelog:

‘termguicolors’ is enabled by default when Nvim is able to determine that the host terminal emulator supports 24-bit color.

So for me, i previously had vim.cmd.hi 'Normal ctermbg=none' as the method for disabling the background. But now, nvim was deciding to use gui colors for the terminal, and I was only setting terminal background to none.

The options are:

• vim.cmd.hi 'Normal ctermbg=none guibg=none' (also none out the gui bg)
• vim.cmd.hi 'Normal bg=none' (flat unconditional bg none)
• vim.opt.termguicolors = false (just disable the now enabled by default function to go back to terminal colors)

Definitely make sure you think through all the physical security implications of having your house automatically unlock in any scenario.

Have the house auto unlock when getting home on a bicycle, sounds convenient until, as you point out, they could get stolen and now the thief has a convenient way to unlock your house. So you would not want that.

You would definitely not want the house to STAY unlocked when something like a tag is in range. If your kid is home alone, you want them to be able to re-lock the house (or in general, you want to be able to lock your house while the kid is home).

Whatever solution you wind up with, you are going to be trading physical security for ease of use (and complicated fun task). Be safe. Make sure the tradeoffs are actually thought through and worth it.

Hard to unlock the house based on media playing if the kid is outside though.

I’m not an expert, but it has something to do with full words vs partial words. It also can’t play wordle because it doesn’t have a proper concept of individual letters in that way, its trained to only handle full words

In pineapple express they call it “the dopest dope I ever smoked”… But I now realize that movie is almost 20 years old.

I had to SSH into a server for dev work at a previous job. And vim was the obvious best answer for “IDE like” experience in a terminal. I needed more power than nano.

And then vim stalled in development. Neovim was created in response to that, and it had new shiny features (many of which vim also has now), that caught my eye (async tasks were added to neovim before vim).

So I was a vim user out of necessity and I switched to neovim to chase new shiny things, and have found 0 reason to go back.

The most commonly cited monitor in recent years for this is “AW3423DWF”… Which is AlienWare 34" (no idea what 23DW is) Freesync. I assume the 23DW has a point to it too.

Point is, people see a lot of characters and complain when in reality it is exactly what you are referring to. The name is an encoded version of its capabilities. Its just that the encoding isn’t always clear because if every company used the same encoding they would have the same name. and if there are 2 similar monitors you would need to have every feature in the name to differentiate them, so the shorthand encoding becomes necessary. (Eg, AW3423DW and AW3423DWF only really differ on freesync vs gsync, thus the F at the end)

Knocking as well

I say “hokay, so” at least 10 times a week and I’m pretty sure everyone just thinks its a thing I say, and no one gets that it’s a reference

The archlinux-keyring package will install a few gpg keys.

But also, the AUR also uses gpg keys to validate things.

Just searching the AUR for one of the repos that Jaffa linked to in another comment…

https://aur.archlinux.org/cgit/aur.git/tree/PKGBUILD?h=librespot

Here is the PKGBUILD. Note line 24:

validpgpkeys=('EC57B7376EAFF1A0BB56BB0187F5FDE8A56219F4') ## Roderick van Domberg

And I’m sure if you got through the AUR there are plenty of packages that use this

Many AUR helpers (like paru, or yay, etc), will either auto download these keys for you, or prompt you. Even if you were to build this pkgbuild by hand, unless you removed that line, it would require you to import the key for the makepkg to work. So “how does a fresh arch install wind up with GPG keys that I didn’t manually import?” … the answer is AUR helpers most likely (or you did it manually for a makepkg and just forgot).

It’s also worth pointing out that GPG handles signing things, but also signature verification. These are all public keys in your system. Having public keys that have been used for signature verification is perfectly normal and kind of the point. If you had Roderick’s private key that would be weird.

Its enough for me too. But not everyone has the same use case and environment. I definitely see why someone would want this.

What I disagree with is that it needs to communicate to the internet to do this. It adds delay and potential for outage if your internet is out. But they do this so they can force you to get their app and milk you for extra data to sell. Internet capable smart devices are to harvest data not grant features. Features could be done better by ZigBee and a hub, but that doesnt grant the device a way to phone home
