intentionally misusing the RAADS-R autism test
Got a high score on the autism test!!!
(I just answered instinctively based on what I thought would get the highest score. I'm very good at tests)
lol the maximum score in the original paper was 227

"Free speech" is a good principle for governments (though one whose details include serious problems that need to be considered), not for moderating communities.
This seems like a good moment to remind everybody that when someone seems *weirdly* intent on introducing strict legalistic procedures for moderation, and they are not a literal nation state, they're *probably* trying to ensure that their bigoted friends have wiggle room to fly under the radar

@joepie91 Third parties can't really offer this easily as vendors (airlines etc) tend to offer 3 types of product: single, retour and openjaw(a->b->c). As prices vary continuously you cannot safely sell 2 products simultaneously, as that kind of batching is also not supported (pricing holds are per product and short lived).
@peterbjornx Ugh :| That makes sense, but, ugh

all i'm saying is, if they can add types to python, then i should be able to remove types from java. it's only fair

Students respond better to feedback when it's depersonalized.
Personal: Your wording here is unclear
Impersonal: The wording here is unclear.
Personal: Your organization is confusing.
Impersonal: The organization is confusing.
Personal: You made the opposite claim in the previous paragraph.
Impersonal: The previous paragraph made the opposite claim.
I've found that this makes a massive difference, giving students the detachment they need to focus on their writing.

One of the interesting things, as we begin to test out the federated model of social media at scale, is that having a rule of “I don’t have to put up with any dipshits” is getting a lot of pushback from the dipshits.

honestly if you need a whole 'council' with members and a process to try to convince people online that you're not a shit head, you are probably a shit head

jokes aside, the fact that these knobheads get so mad about defederation kinda suggests to me that defederation works quite well to isolate and disempower them, so that's nice

"About pineapple on pizza?"
"No, the other thing."
"About favourite movies?"
"No, the, y'know, *other* thing. You know the one"
@doot@glitterkitten.co.uk I count two Soapbox instances(!) and a whole lot of single-user/group instances on that frontpage

Apple has finally killed its ill-conceived plan to scan photos for CSAM. This is a direct result of work by experts and activists. Speaking up is important and sometimes we win.

i just saw credits for an old dos game where they put their "catering" in the credits, including their local pizza place
we should bring that back. that should be a thing
It continues to boggle my mind how not a single travel booking system seems to accommodate the usecase of "go pick someone up, therefore 1 person in one direction and 2 people on the return trip"

Yes, I know that no win is permanent and victory is rarely complete. The work is never done. But if we don't stop to celebrate when we do win, then we will turn into burnt-out husks who cannot carry on the fight.
@y3mz Hm, that doesn't seem to show STL export if you're not logged in... here's the current STL (link expires in 14 days): https://transfer.sh/ISitNx/Part%20Studio%201%20-%20Tray%288%29.stl
@y3mz Design is here, so go wild :p (CC0/WTFPL):
It probably won't print correctly yet though, I still need to fix a bunch of the supports, it seems that only a few printers have good enough part cooling to print the current design without drooping bridges, so I'd recommend waiting for the final revision :D

@elfwizard I maintain that "takes issue with the vagueness of the test questions" is a more accurate test than any test that one could deliberately write
