A_Chilean_Cyborg

Sure, i will infodump people if given the chance, will listen to music on repeat, on my ANC headphones, and be a somewhat picky eater, but if you looked at me from afar, maybe you coudn't tell right away, i can study, i can work, i can be social if i need to, and maybe, if you meet me, the first time you may not notice it right away (unless you're neurodivergent yourself).

But, when time passes, and i lay my guard low, somwthing will inevitably happen to show me, painfully, that i'm indeed autistic, meltowns, misunderstandments, worse, you name it, and then you remember, you're autistic and there is no escape, this is what I am and there is no fighting it, i'm autistic, and need help sometimes, with some things.

I overall like to be autistic, i don't want it gone at all, i feel is basically who i am, but at the same time it is very frustrating, this year and a half, has been awful for me, i dropped out of university and tried to work, but they fired me because they learnt about my plans of getting back at uni, in this whole time (and my numbers were good, i even did sales, i'm sure as heck it was that), whenever i wasn't rotting on my parents house, i had so many fkng momments that remind me, like a punch on the face, that i'm autistic, not gonna lie, at university had many too, bit atleast there i had an structure to cling onto, because yay comorbid adhd /s.

Anyways, sometimes i feel that if i was more obviously autistic, it would be more obvious to people, that i fkng struggle with things 😭.

I have the flu rn and is fucking hell, I feel phlegm down my throat and I must cough it out even if it hurts like hell, and I just can't ignore it, is awful.

And that kinda lead me to a realization, when people say to not do that, so to not worsen the throat pain, is hard not to assume they have a way easier time ignoring the feeling of phlegm in your throat.

Also: if anyone has tips, they're very welcome.

So, basically, I kinda don't like very much to have an immutable distro, there are things I don't really like about steam OS but the immutability makes it so if can't really change it, for starters, I kinda don't like at all dolphin, and would prefer to use nemo, but is my understanding that next time valve pushes an update, all it would revert.

So I was wondering what other options for distros there is, that are not immutable, that allows me to not loose any basic functionality is possible, things like gamescope, and how the keyboard works with the touchpads.

Advice would be appreciated.

First of all, how is called this category of programs, instance engine?

Second, why there are 3 different, basically inter-compatible projects out there, what are the benefits of each one over the others? and why does Lemmy prevail all of them.

*i will be using feddit as a umbrella term for all the reddit-like fediverse.

I don't have much of a technical Background to know how this things work under the hood, but I'm quite curious of where all of this is heading.

I see a lot of awesome features locked away in these other projects that would be just nice if it was standard to have them, like piefed's hashtag-like system that allows people to seek things by topic instead of going to a specific community hosted in a specific instance, it would instantly fix the fragmentation problem across feddit, lol.

How the future of feddit will be? will be all be using Lemmy or other specific project, or instances will use whatever project they like and they will be cross compatible enough that it won't be much of a deal what project is running underneath?

I'm learning French, long ago I found the idiom "c'est la vie" (this is life), and I like it quite a lot, it describes struggles that are common to human life, but then I found this one "c'est la vie de l'autiste" "this is the life for the autistic (person)", and I kinda fell in love with the idiom.

I think it is a beautiful idiom to describe our common struggles and hardships we face as autists, our shared problems and experience navigating trough life, and I thought I would like to share it, because I think is such a nice way to describe what unite us as autistic persons, the common struggles.

We get misunderstood, we misunderstand, we don't get the context, we hurt people without intention, we can't tolerate food, noises, textures, we get obsess on the topics we love only to find people don't care as much as we do, and so much more, for sure, for most autists, only some of these things are true for them, but on average, they are very real.

And yeah, I'm only focusing on the sad, there are a lot of good things about being autistic, but this idiom isn't for that

For me is baymax, the disney character.

Since I saw the movie for the first time I felt identified with said robot, I'm an engineering student, and also very chubby, i like to hug and to care for others too, not very agile or fast too.

Is really a new experience for me, I do really hope it lasts a good time.

I'm also really relieved seeing that I do, In fact have the ability to make friendships, and that I won't be forever alone.

I'm not sure if he is neurodivergent or not, he says he isn't but at the same time... yeah.

There is hope people, it can happen!

I have a long way to go before even start to think in that kind of stuff, but seeing the laboral market in chile not having such interesting job (there are few jobs for engineers to do actual engineering stuff imo) I find an appealing possibility to get into academia instead.

So it seems interesting to ask if anyone here has experience in academia and if is in general a good idea.
