Did exactly this with the Sennheiser BTD-700 Bluetooth dongle. Found someone had done the work to create a little C library for controlling the dongle and with that Claude had created a nice widget for KDE to control my headphones.
> I think that reality is basically made of habit.
This statement is not self explanatory and reeks of performative profoundness, care to elaborate?
> Habit is a bigger deal than you think.
Feels like we're just adding the element of mystery to the profoundness to imply you have a deeper understanding than someone else in an attempt to get out of defending your position.
I hope not, I genuinely would rather find out you do actually have the answer to all my issues!
> I think this has nothing to do with commonality and more to do with the fact everyone I know who is autistic (I work in tech) has been obsessively getting themselves diagnosed with things since they were like 14 like its a religion.
I hope you decide to keep that opinion to yourself in the future and not tell people that what they are experiencing isn't real.
> Just has a new thing wrong with them weekly
So, you see multiple people experiencing a new medical ailment or symptom "every week" and think all these people are faking an issue so well it fools a doctor? What about my severe plaque psoriasis, T-1 Diabetes, and POTS?
Am I just imagining the giant red inflamed scaly patches of skin on each one of my joints?
Am I just psychosomatically making my body not produce insulin?
Im just making up that my blood pressure drops so low from standing too fast that I get tunnel vision?
Your opinion causes people like me to spend 20 years of their life to hide and ignore the problems they experience until they are so bad we can't function as human beings anymore. And the sad part of it is, if we (the patients) actually understood what we were dealing with early on in life, a lot of these problems can be avoided.
It's a shame so many people share your ignorant opinion and tendency to shame what you can't understand, you'll never comprehend how deeply that effects the people you are saying it about.
> What about my severe plaque psoriasis, T-1 Diabetes, and POTS?
Thing is with those conditions is that there's an objective test you can take, with symptoms that are hard to talk yourself into with other people on the internet
I was keeping a Windows install around solely to play Fortnite with my kids but they've finally found other games.
Rocket League performance on Linux used to be the other big reason but about 4 months ago I fired it up and found it ran smoother (the random stutters I have suffered through on Windows are not there on Linux).
Now that those two are no longer relevant I can finally reclaim that wasted SSD storage.
As someone in their mid 30's who followed Ron Paul back in the early 2000's, I have a hard time understanding this sentiment when, at least back then, "Your rights end where mine begin" was their foundation.
Idk, I don't have any loyalty towards any of these political parties so it shouldn't bother me but part of me gets defensive when I hear them described this way today. (Hell, I remember being the weirdo anti-interventionist in my circles and it was always the tea party ass hats that were uncomfortably enthusiastic about offing people they didn't like).
I picked up a Rexing dash cam a few months back and after getting frustrated with how clunky it is to get footage of it, I decided to look into building something out myself to browse and download the recordings without having to pull the SD card. While scrolling through the recordings, I explicitly remember thinking it would be nice to just describe what I was looking for and run a search. Looking forward to incorporating this into my project.
Millennial checking in: At this point I'd probably fall over in shock if I managed to get an "uh huh" from someone.
Was actually talking about this with my kid yesterday and I decided it would be fun to just dig in and return the stare and see how long it takes for them to break (if they even do!)
Or the fact that in the time it took me to read this thread I could have finished that task. Sometimes I really want to punch my brain in its stupid face lol.
Might be worth checking out the "Copenhagen Suborbitals" group (they have a YouTube channel) and see if they're still active! It's been years but I think I recall they were trying to build something capable of getting a person into space (not sure if orbit was a goal).

Thanks for linking this. Ended up finding my kids school district on the list unfortunately.
