Ding! Ding! Ding! We have a winner!

I’m autistic and extremely faceblind and despite this being potentially useful to me personally, I really don’t think this should be legal at all.

I also want to say, don’t let anyone use people like me as a reason why it should be. I dont know what’s scarier to me, being identified accurately by it which, stalkers and abusers will love, or being misidentified by it and experiencing what to me will seems like arbitrary harassment and violence.

Great job Ray-Ban! Really good look! Thanks Meta! Connecting us to people whether we like it or not!

I can’t come up with anything better than anti-social engineering. Id call it prompt engineering but…

Hacking? No no no no. This is social engineering without the other person. It’s anti-social engineering.

thank you, I seriously appreciate that, and sorry for assuming but theres enough people who do remove attribution I lumped this in. fwiw what I’ll do now is share the link to the original post going forward. im sharing somebody’s work for free I figure it should be attributed to them even if they offer it for free. I gotta reflect on my reaction too

(btw if anyone knows the source some asshat removed the attribution from this and im not about that)

jfc this is so sad because it would actually be hard for a human coder of very little ability to do it this wrong. at least it has its own instance i can block.

Adblocker? Some lists will block dynamic dns providers (badblock for sure has afraid.org). If so you want to exempt that since you legitimately use it.

The Smurfs. 65 minutes of using the word smurf in place of all swearing. Somewhere during the denouement a character should mouth but not say “Oh, fuck!” then two other smurfs are nearby. One says “what did they say?” The other smurf looks panicked and then offers without much conviction: I think it was, “Oh Smurf!” Big laughs. Scene.

Thank you these are fully awesome! I had no idea there had been a quiet layout enlightenment was underway.

You know the episode of Bobs Burgers where Tina takes a typing class and does the hunt and peck but she can do it faster than the teacher can using the home row? It me.

Also if you want to type fast a keyboard layout that wasn’t chosen based on its ability to prevent mechanical jams by slowing the typist is probably the way to go. eg Dvorac

Only the Earl of Sandwich may designate what is or is not a sandwich. The original Sandwich sandwich was Roast Beef. Anything else is just sparkling white bread.

100% misguided attempt, no offense intended and im sorry that i missed the mark that bad, for my part I’ll say more in the future about why. I did think it was a long shot but that’s exactly the kind of thing i could have included but didn’t. i hope you track it down and again, so sorry, not my intention to insult or be rude or otherwise waste your time

I just discovered Qobuz, its a French music streaming app that feels more like a record store than a streaming platform. You can also buy tracks, many of them in audiophile quality. Their pro plan includes a discount on lots of tracks.

What you dont get is anything algorithmic or AI at all. New music discovery is fully back on your hands but you’ll have to decide for yourself if the editorial content is enough to offset that

I am splitting my purchases between subvert.fm (over bandcamp these days, look into it and make your own call) and qobuz is the only music streamer I’ll use, they are at the top end of artist compensation per stream.

Discovery is a more interactive process for me now, but, i personally find it more rewarding. YMMV.

Even if you decide this isn’t for you, please use subvert or bandcamp or direct purchase in those rare cases that they offer it.

Stay away from the big names in this space, go to live shows, buy direct merch, we need to do anything we can to remove every intermediary between us and the artists we love and that provide the soundtracks to our lives.

I realize that I’m saying this all from a place of privilege. To those who can’t afford these things, i have been in that position. Do what you have to do, support artists as best you can, but only if you reasonably can. Look out for yourselves first.

1000% this game had amazing music. For a system that had only a couple of pulse waves, a sine wave, a white noise channel and a sampler channel using an algorithm that was already over 30 years old in 1983 some games really got an amazing amount of expression out of them. I’ve always felt that this game’s soundtrack was criminally underrated.

This is a really important point. Diagnoses go up with each revision of the DSM (at least in the US, as it’s put out by the American Psychiatric Association) because the authors are intentionally making the criteria more expansive.

To be clear this is policy and guidance playing catch up with reality, and it still hasn’t caught all the way up.

Be wary of anyone conflating increases in rates of diagnoses with rates of occurrence, anybody talking about changes in rates of autism diagnoses that fails to speak to this is either being disingenuous or are themselves the victims of others disingenuity.

It’s like putting down mousetraps and then being surprised to find mice in them. The mousetraps don’t increase the number of mice (ideally they decrease them!) but they can change your perception of how many mice there are by increasing opportunities for exposure.
