Yes, and I'm afraid that I (LSN, self-Dx with high certainty, awaiting formal Dx since early 2023) been guilty of giving this advice until some time last year, when a user on this very platform informed me that what I was suggesting was masking.

One major factor in this problem, I believe, is that a lot of the "raising awareness" stuff I've seen over the years tends to focus on just one part of our demographic (namely young, medium support needs boys), which is quite counter-productive. This is likely the main reason why none of my teachers ever thought to have me tested, and why I was 17 before I thought "Hmm, I can't shut up about Linux, I have a bunch of autistic friends, and I just watched three solid hours of old PSAs. I wonder if there's a reason for all that?"

There are times when masking is a good idea, this potentially being one of them (I do not know the context); but on the whole, it really isn't fair to do it all the time just to placate neurotypicals when they are more than capable of dealing with it without long-term psychological harm.

No, that bit's funny. I mean the running joke about Linux audio being bad.

You know, I don't get this joke. I have been using Linux and BSD since 2019, and the only incident I ever had was with sndio(7), and that was because I decided to switch to the -current branch of OpenBSD without heeding the warnings.

Apart from that, whether I was using ALSA, PulseAudio, PipeWire, JACK, or OSS (on FreeBSD), I always had a perfect experience.

Well, I tend to write out detailed plans in Markdown or AsciiDoc for events ranging from the mundane to the complex, and from the imminent through to the distant future.

Physically, though, my desk and bedroom have always been somewhat cluttered; and virtually-speaking, my /home and my hierarchical notes directory are both fairly ugly.

Viewer? Probably just Quick Look. It's built into the Files app.

If you want to edit, just use Apple Photos. Everything is in there anyway.

I checked the talk page after the news came over my sources. They've been discussing whether or not he was dead for hours.

I imagine at least eight Wikipedians were compulsively refreshing twenty different news sites whilst hovering over the "edit source" button, waiting for the confirmation.

Damn, must've only just changed! I still have "is" in my cache.

[–] hellfire103@lemmy.ca 4 points 2 weeks ago (3 children)

Whoa, where has this been all my life?

[–] hellfire103@lemmy.ca 4 points 2 weeks ago

Huh, neat. Thanks!

I have always had a great deal of respect for C, and I would like to start writing in it. However, while I am skilled in other languages, I basically don't know any C off the top of my head.

I find that I learn better and faster by attempting projects, rather than working through a book ir taking a class. For example, to learn Perl, I am working on a basic disk image writer that's coming along nicely.

So, what do you think might be a good idea for my first C project?

EDIT: Zig is also something I'm interested in learning. Same question, different language.
