We suspect our kid may be autistic but I’ve never seen her do this other than when she was younger and played with Lego type toys.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Would you ever walk up to a total stranger and strike up a conversation?
17·2 days agoI wouldn’t but I think it depends on the culture. In Morocco people would just start chatting to people in the car next to them while they were waiting at traffic lights. They would just chat to everyone.

linuxmemes@lemmy.world•I'll try something different next install, I swear.
1·3 days agoMe either. I use Plasma because I prefer the whole workflow but I’m fine with GNOME, it’s just a bit shit out of the box, which I think is part of the problem. It feels so much more modern and the settings menu is much better, plus all the GNOME apps feel lightyears ahead of the half-baked KDE stuff. I wish KDE would stop adding obscure features nobody uses and just work on the polish (though I think they’re doing a bit of that now with the new login screen and unified theming).

Steam@programming.dev•Valve - About the New York Attorney General lawsuit against Valve
5·6 days ago“disappointed to see the NYAG make that claim after working to educate them”.
Isn’t that just lobbying?
I don’t care what people on here think, an AI being able to code an OS is really impressive, even if it is shit.

KDE@lemmy.kde.social•[Saddest news] The discover app does not change it's color based on the accent color 😭
17·9 days agoWith the new login screen coming and the unified theming engine allegedly close, I hope the Discover app gets redone. I find it pretty slow and ugly, especially compared to the Gnome equivalent (whatever it’s called). It gives me constant errors about useless stuff as well, I often find an app in there and just download it in the command line.

Ask@piefed.social•Married people, do you have a wedding ring? Do you always wear it?English
2·9 days agoYep but I can take it off when I need to. It hurts sometimes when I have to lift something with round handles that squash my fingers together.

Academia@mander.xyz•Students increasingly support banning laptops from classrooms. Multifunction screens fragment attention and block learning.
63·9 days agoIf I’d had a laptop in my classroom there’s no way I’d be paying attention to the lecturer.
Most of them seemed to be giving it a fair go but Linus himself seemed to be treating it more like a Cheap Car Challenge from Top Gear. He was cracking (bad) jokes about “just Linux things” before he’d even started and he gave up pretty much straight away. The problems he was having with Discord seemed more like Discord issues than Linux issues.
I game on Linux without issue. Literally 95% of games just work without issue. Deathloop never ran well and Routine (a UE game) for some reason kept want to install and uninstall a package each time I ran it (but it played fine). I don’t think I’ve found another game that doesn’t play and I recently bought ARC Raiders.

Opensource@programming.dev•Mozilla partners with Anthropic to perform security audits on firefox
111·9 days agoWhat’s wrong with this? I’ve found AI to be really helpful for debugging. It doesn’t mean humans aren’t doing it to but AI can spot this that people would miss.
twinnie@feddit.uktoshitposting@lemmy.ml•The to do list grows as I remain affixed in place by supernatural forces (marijuana)
32·9 days agoI watched this film when I was like 14. I had to close my eyes at one point, I was so scared I started worrying I was going to die.

Technology@lemmy.world•LibreOffice criticizes EU Commission over proprietary XLSX formatsEnglish
61·9 days agoI kinda get it though. I think every single time in my life I’ve sent a document in the non-Microsoft format I’ve got a reply saying they couldn’t open it. That’s from LibreOffice and from Mac.

homeassistant@lemmy.world•Soo, someone was backing up their on its own local disk, instead of something outside the VM which runs HA 🤦♂️English
2·10 days agoI’m not even backing up.

Privacy@programming.dev•From next week, Australia will require users to verify their age to play GTA Online and other R18+ online games
441·11 days agoThey keep saying this is to keep kids safe online but when I’m teaching my kid about internet safety one of the most important points is to not share personal information.
All parents have the kit to stop their kids from getting to porn, they’re just not using it.

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Looking for recommendations for men's grooming stuff
31·11 days agoThere’s these sort of crystal things you can use instead of deodorant. You rub them on your pits when they wet and they don’t produce any smell but block the bad ones. I used one for a while, it was good.

Lemmy Shitpost@lemmy.world•How did internet viruses spread before the internet was invented?
26·11 days agoIt was a weird time to like computers. Nobody had an antivirus, and if they didn’t it never got updated. You’d just take floppy disks around to your friend’s house and plug them in. Windows gave everything admin rights.
To be honest, I was using a computer for about five years before the internet happened and I never got a virus.

Pravda News!@news.abolish.capital•Iran Is Morally Superior To The United States
61·13 days agoI think if Iran was as powerful as the US they’d be doing all that and more.
















Depends on how long I have. If it’s a workday and I don’t have much time then I brush my teeth first, if it’s the weekend and I’m not in a rush I eat breakfast first. I just do this on some idea that sugar (such as in milk) makes your teeth a little softer temporarily and you shouldn’t brush when they’re like that. That from what they say about brushing your teeth after coke but it stuck in my head.
