Think about your average Joe/Joanne. Are they someone who are willing to go against the status quo? Are they someone always ready to try new things? Are they someone not afraid to express themselves and be an actual individual?
That’s why it’s called normal because it’s the most widespread, but I agree with you, normal is not something I want in my life and that already puts me on a spectrum somewhere.
This is just my opinion. Lemmy doesn’t conform to many of the current standards of reduced friction for the user. Before joining you have to figure out that there are more than one servers that you could join and make a decision which one you want to be on and depending on your choice you have to take a mini interview and/or be approved by someone to join. After joining you probably either deal with an ugly page design that someone created like in the hi5/GeoCities days or you have to choose one of the milion apps that are available for it. While browsing you have to figure out that there are duplicate communities and figure out which ones you want to subscribe to and figure out what kind of sorting works best for you on your main page. And in order to discover more communities you go to All where you see a bunch of unhinges stuff that either you learn how to block or you ignore.
By the time you are having a seamless experience you have truly past the test of being somewhere on the spectrum, because no normal person will ever put up with all this, as could be seen with the user gain of mastodon vs bluesky after Twitter went to shit. The platform with less friction even though more closed and proprietary gained more users.
In recent years we’ve come to the conclusion that autism is much broather than previously understood and than many more people fall om its’ spectrum. People that have an account on a platform like Lemmy are automatically highly probably autistic in some way because or the barrier to entry and specific interests that normal people wouldn’t even bother with.
True, what you described is basically all there is to it, but in my opinion the corrupted versions where the SM is doing backlog management or where the rest of the company structure doesn’t change just the dev team are more damaging than the more codified versions of it.
Sure, part of the job of the SM is to teach a PO that they need to research the market, but bridging the gap sounds like your saying the SM should find these things out for themselves and that’s just not true. The SM by definition is less technically minded that the PO. They deal with processes, data and people, not with product specs and market research.
If everything is displayed in the same language then sort by the displayed language. You don’t want to have to search for Spanish near the E letter because it’s sorted by the original espanol in the background since that’s not what you as the user sees.
The scrum master is not a product owner and shouldn’t be providing scope or anything for that matter in tickets. No wonder agile is hated and dying, it’s been corrupted beyond recognition by people who have no reading comprehension.
This ia what they call an echo chamber. You took it at face value and didn’t question it.
There was a long time of that happening and everyone being blisfully unaware. That’s the period that feels like the golden age to me because we were getting all these new cool and free services not fully realizing what we are paying.
I feel like jokes are a reflection on the people making them, based on their own experiences and biases. Jokes also need to be rooted in some kind of reality we all agree on in order to subvert and become funny.
A dumb joke about cats not wanting toys still tells me the owner has no idea or doesn’t care. And I’ve met these owners many times before. So many people see their pets as furniture and understand nothing about them, their personalities or their needs.
I’d say Sarah doesn’t know much about cats or is just lazy.
Cats love toys, but it needs to be engaging. They love their pray to feel alive, to move, to hide. A crumpled up piece of paper on a string tied to a stick works wonders. That means the owner needs to participate, but most don’t. Also cats are crepuscular so for maximum success keep play limited the evening or morning. You might be surprised how much of a hunter your cat actually is.
It’s still there for me, called Fediverse Forums. It’s a lens you can disable or reorder so maybe you did and forgot about it? It’s also different to Forums lens which doesn’t seem to include Fediverse for some reason.
Has had it for a while and can easily be toggled between normal search and lemmy search, forums, academic, pdfs, etc. It’s glorious.
It took 10 years to meet anyone that used Reddit. I assume it’s gonna take another 10 to meet anyone on this platform.
Many people do not live up to this level of maturity that you seem to expect of them. And many others can’t beat the dopamine and quick gratification that tiktok provides. As such, tiktok attracts people of all ages and associating it with kids is, and has been for a while, an outdated view, only held by people who don’t actually engage with the platform.
Outdated views and disconnection from present reality is represented by the old man screaming at clouds meme.
Sure, this interpretation falls in the old man understanding of tiktok, someone who has never been to tiktok.
Current day tiktok is full of people of all ages and the feed adjusts to your interaction with the platform, so you won’t see a single kid unless you specifically take actions for it.
This is either a old man yells at clouds situation or gatekeeping masculinity situation depending on the meaning of the word man. Either way a bad take imo.
They said they found out at around the same time as all the other creators, so breaking it into a video wouldn’t have mattered for anyone. The people they assumed were affected at the time already knew and were dropping the sponsorships.
I was in a similar situation as you, with an existing docker solution, looking for something easier to manage. Yunohost had this hype behind it that I couldn’t resist. At first it did seem easier with the official apps, but as soon as I needed anything outside the set boundary the dream collapsed. The final nail for me was not being able to get smb working.
Good thing I had kept my docker setup safe so it was easy to revert to it. It’s more of a pain, but it’s also more versatile and capable so I have no better choice at the moment. Portainer helps a lot.
I know it’s kind of a trend but I think that is the case because so many people identify with it.
I wouldn’t have cared about the label itself it if wouldn’t have come with a vast amount of knowledge and explanations for many aspects of my life. This is why I cared about this and why I talk about it with others, because deep diving into the topic has helped me learn a lot more about myself more than anything else in my life and it explains many of my interactions with others as well as other peoples behaviours.
And to be honest many of the struggles of people on the authism and ADHD spectrum are not really something that can be solved with typical self improvement tactics, it’s something to manage or maybe to medicate, but if you haven’t found out that you fit the label it would be impossible to figure this out.
