Grounded take: You weren’t necessarily misdiagnosed. Prior to DSM-5 (the psychiatric diagnostic manual) which was published in 2013 you couldn’t be diagnosed with both autism and ADHD. Given that there’s no treatment for autism it didn’t make sense to even consider diagnosing people with autism when they were presenting with ADHD. BPD is somewhat common comorbidity of autism too (this one seems more often misdiagnosed but if meds work then not much reason to doubt it).

My real take: it’s all the same thing presenting in different ways, because we’re all different people, but it’s also uncanny how similar people with autism are in some respects.

How else would you engage in a foreplay with your laptop?

I have ThinkPad at work which is pleasant enough to touch due to rubberised plastic but wanking with it sounds tricky because of how stiff it’s hinges are.

Does that make it legal? Cool.

I thought „groundbreaking” would be sufficient indication of sarcasm, sorry. They discovered a correlation and went wild with it but to be honest science and medicine are rediscovering basic facts about autism all the time - this is just one more example. At this point science is also a bit to blame - we’re producing countless papers that are just data collecting because they don’t even attempt to find causal links, making it easy for politicians to spin it however they want. This is a double edged sword in any case because RFK could say it’s the Jews that are the problem tomorrow using exact same data.

They discovered that there’s more neurodivergent people among ethnic Jews? Groundbreaking.

Pretty sure big part of this is selection bias combined with ASD making it more likely for us to subscribe to more extreme versions of ideologies due to all or nothing mindset. It doesn’t guarantee that you’re going to be a cool hippie uncle because it could be the exact opposite too.

To give an example - most of the older autistic people in my family are in denial of this which in consequence makes them pretty shitty people. Living in denial of your autism oftentimes means that you’re also living in denial of being bisexual which leads to funky opinions like sexuality being a choice. Being aware you’re being manipulated can also make you more isolated and in turn ramp up paranoia or other schizoid type behaviours. When you feel like an alien it’s much easier to subscribe to cutthroat views about economy and things like that. TLDR: there are vile autistic people too

There’s Kodi in WebOS brew appstore. I’ve only ever used Kodi for offline media libraries but as far as I know there’s plenty of third party Kodi addons for this kind of piracy.

How common is standalone dyspraxia, without autism as a comorbidity? I get an impression that DCD is just another tell for neurodivergence. Doubly so because they mention anxiety and exclusion as supposed common consequence.

I rarely pirate stuff on Mac but I’ve had this saved in my bookmarks: https://www.torrentmac.net/

More obscure stuff might not be well seeded but I haven’t found anything better.

„Breaks community rules” is likely coming from Voyager users because the app presents it as a predefined option for report reason. People likely assume that it’s some kind of an integrated reporting flow. This issue was raised recently in Voyager community: https://lemmy.world/post/35221872

uBlacklist is a browser extension that can filter search results from commonly used search engines like Google/DDG. You can use it with Super SEO Spam Suppressor which is a community maintained blocklist targeting SEO/AI spam.

(I’ll give it away if anyone wants it, just needed a place to post my own stuff)

That’s still the case so automation + multiple providers is still the way to go. This guy here makes Usenet provider maps so that you can figure out what combination will work the best for you: https://gnu.gl/users/rexum/statuses/114789594488827582

I assumed OP is after some kind of media manager with integrated download capabilities and Zlib doesn’t have anything similar as far as I know.

• Couch Potato is pretty much dead, Radarr is the way to go.

• Back in the day Sabnzbd was considered slow and inefficient so Nzbget was usually recommended. These days both are pretty much indistinguishable performance-wise and Sabnzbd seems to get more active development.

For plain ebooks there’s a Calibre plugin that integrates Anna’s Archive as a store. Requires a paid account but works okay in my limited experience.

Unfortunately I think it was more that they were stolen from rich people rather than being a nuisance to poor people who have to coexist with those pointlessly noisy hunks of steel:

Several stolen vehicles were recovered, with 10 others found to have no valid MoT and 11 without road tax.

Not going to argue with that, but it does pose challenging questions on how to govern digital archival so that certain lines are not crossed. Current restrictive laws push archival into the grey zone where it’s hard to effectively enforce privacy protections.

According to that latest Princeton study on phenotypes of autism - approximately 37% of autistic population ;)
