  • The autistic community has been dying for this kind of accessibility accommodation for years.

    I cannot express how deeply this angers me. Though i am happy to exploit the fuck out of this for personal use.

    “Markdown offers a cleaner, more semantically clear representation of the content. This means less noise for language models and other text-analysis systems people that process information neurodivergently, resulting in more efficient processing and potentially lower compute costs real life physical exhaustion.“





  • King Richard I was once captured for ransom while traveling undercover trough Austria.

    His cover was blown specifically because he tried ordering a roast chicken.

    There are a few variations of the details in this story though, a peasant could definitely have owned a chicken and eaten it when it died but it was probably way more valuable to sell it.









  • As much as i hate my own answer, when using a computer for work or school you should adapt to using the operating system and sofware supported by that school.

    The last thing you want is to, in middle of class get instructed to download and use x, and then have to go into a rabbithole of trying to be compliant, missing the class.

    I would not trust a vm for cad software because i don’t know how heavy the stuff is that you would be doing. You might need that dedicated gpu. dualboot is probably a better option.

    Another interesting idea, based on the fact that Linux can read and use from windows disks is to make it windows and school appropriate with 2 partitions, then install your preferred linux on a fast bootable usb.

    This way you can take and run your linux wherever you want, and when you plug it in the laptop you just access the partition from the windows disk to put heavy programs and files.

    I am doing sm similar on desktop where my old windows drive is still there and functional but is also used as game install drive from linux.




  • This seems to be an unpopular opinion but i personally had someone block me for presumably being too friendly and sincere, after an initial comment where i had agreed with them and defended their downvoted comment.

    A second person blocked me after i pointed out that the person they where calling ai/a bot is in fact a well loved moderator of the community they tried to be a part of and they where simply misreading the room.

    I don’t really mind that people remove themselves but it does worry me that tolerance of others have gotten so low that ideologically similar people will label each other enemies based on very basic misunderstandings of topics they agree about.



  • This is certainly bad, but in context of the general problem of Pfas this feels strange to focus on.

    These chemicals are literally everywhere, non stick pans, pizza boxes, dental floss, contact lenses, rain jackets, cosmetics,…

    Almost everything that is water repellent has a high chance of being made with pfas. Those videos with the cool water repellent sprays, not so cool really.

    Dont get me wrong this is a serious issue but the article seems suprised to find it in firefighter clothing while i would personally be more suprised that its not in there.

    Trough sweat these people may get a higher dose then some others but in the context of all unborn babies already having pfas… this is (sadly) hardly something to be specifically upset about.
