That just sounds like masking with extra steps to be honest. Also, removing humor from every day actions sounds dismal. Just because we’re autistic doesn’t mean we don’t like to laugh.

This is only in my experience, and I can only speak as to what works for me and my Autism/ADHD. Medication and cognitive behavior therapy helped me keep my humor and learn to not care if people don’t like my joke or reference. To wait for them to ask for clarification, and only give clarification if they ask. I’m lucky though as my brand of humor isn’t really considered to be offensive as I like to “punch up” as it were. Also, most of my references are from the most basic bitch shows like The Simpsons so YYMV.

What other effective solutions are being explored by the government? Let’s platform those.

Not good enough is a stepping stone to good enough and a great starting point for done.

Reward what works, disengage what doesn’t, and promote ideas that can grow.

Sceptism is important, dissent is healthy, but recognizing what will progress society and putting effort into that is what’s needed now.

Yes, people can be offended or get the wrong idea from a misunderstood joke or a person can feel left out if they don’t get a reference. Humor can be a big part of building connection and repiore with people.

Replaying and perseverating on interactions can be a big problem too.

You’re right the mini 13 was 5.4 inches, the smallest iPhone 16 looks to be 6.1 and the pixel 9 is 6.3

It doesn’t feel that big but compared to the mini, big.

Absolutely this. Bill Clinton was Reagan lite and it wasn’t until Obama’s grass roots campaign that the centrist Democrats were challenged. Hillary thought she could do what Bill did and appeal to “moderate Republicans” and that backfired because she alienated the left of the party and Bernie picked up that thread and ran with it.

Yes and… the 2016 DNC fuckup was when it escalated. But the momentum started with Reagan and nobody took their foot off the gas until Obama. Centrist dems definitely overcorrected and we ended up with Trump the first time.

Pixel 9 if you want to join the darkside, grapheneOS works well if you’re not a fan of google

He’s missing out on HUGO, Gin, Surf and Ebitengine just to name a few.

Not hotdog

Just because I and my family benefit now, doesn’t mean it’ll stay that way. Also again, I don’t want to support or platform an app that charges others, who are not me, to share their own collection.

If they want to charge for the Plex TV or Plex Movies they host, and leave the app free of cost for a person’s own personal collection to be shared. That’s fine.

I have no confidence that’ll happen though.

Yes, that’s great for me and mine, but not for others. I don’t like to support or platform/promote applications that require a subscription for any access at all.

The problem is Plex aren’t Netflix in my usecase. I’m sharing my library with my friends.

Now if they’d like to charge for the content they host. Great more power to 'em, but I feel icky with a payment or subscription model that charges to deliver my collection to my friends and family.

So, like I said. I’ll likely start migrating to jellyfin and start the conversation with people in how to get the jellyfin app on whatever device they have.

A lot of flatpaks early on wouldn’t survive a major point release upgrade or worst case would hold on to dependencies and the user would end up with an unbootable mess after an upgrade.

I haven’t seen that recently though.

However I regularly run appimages on my fedora silverblue system so take what I say with a grain of salt.

IMPORTANT NOTE FOR CURRENT PLEX PASS HOLDERS: For users who have an active Plex Pass subscription, remote playback will continue to be available to you without interruption from any Plex Media Server, after these changes go into effect. When running your own Plex Media Server as a subscriber, other users to whom you have granted access can also stream from the server (whether local or remote), without ANY additional charge—not even a mobile activation fee. More on that later in this update.

I guess that’s something.

Gonna be a long slow explanation to my family and friends how to switch to jellyfin. Hopefully there’s an app ecosystem there as well. I was lucky to get a lifetime pass way back in 2009 when I did some work for them. It’s very different now.

Plex/jellyfin

If I could do it all over I’d pick jellyfin however plex is on more devices and easier for people to setup…for now.
