If you are a person anywhere on the autism spectrum, you may experience "Justice Sensitivity" and if you're like me, you may find it difficult to understand how so many people don't and how this could possibly be the norm.

Justice sensitivity is a trait common in autistic and ADHD individuals. Learn how justice sensitivity impacts autistic individuals and how to care for yourself.Amy Marschall, PsyD (Verywell Mind)
@tardis I haven't experienced that so much, but sometimes when I am mentally tired or sleep deprived, certainly. I suspect I'm sort of just barely on the spectrum though, and my experiences are not representative of the vast sea of possibilities with neurodivergence.
The upside, of course, is being able to focus on incredibly complex, difficult problems that scare other people away. We're wired up differently, not wrongly.
Este sábado se cumplieron 30 años del cocido en el que se plantó la idea del movimiento cultural gallego conocido como bravú.
Así que para mi #MusicMonday de este lunes haré un especial dedicado a la música con la que los gallegos crecimos en nuestra infancia y adolesciencia durante los 90.

I had no idea that North Carolina allows spouses to share a voting booth. Both must consent to that, but of course an abused (or otherwise scared or intimidated) spouse isn't going to complain.

#AndroidAppRain at apt.izzysoft.de/fdroid today brought you 16 updated apps, but also 2 apps were removed:
* DiviDoc contains a self-updater, and its author did not respond to our issue
* URL to PDF was rebranded to WebCapture more than a month ago, so the "old" app was removed
Further, several more apps could be confirmed as #reproducibleBuilds – bringing their total number here up to 315 (or relative: 26.2%).
Enjoy your #free #Android #apps with the #IzzyOnDroid repo 
This is a repository of apps to be used with your F-Droid client. Applications in this repository are official binaries built by the original application developers, taken from their resp. repositories (mostly Github, GitLab, Codeberg).IzzyOnDroid App Repo
Re DiviDoc ... You commented on an old closed issue instead of opening a new dedicated one:
github.com/Armand31/Dividoc/is…
Whether or not the author cares I can't say but for most projects that is a good way to go unaddressed. Also for the sake of every other potential user checking out known issues...
An Android app designed to assist the documentation of dead bodies in war, disaster and migration areas - Add automatic update · Issue #9 · Armand31/DividocGitHub
@alerque Yes, I commented on the issue that introduced this, Caleb. And I've pinged the author explicitly, twice even. Apart from that, the project has not seen any commit since 2/2023, and Armand seems "gone" since June. So chances of this being addressed are rather low to non-existent.
Should it be addressed later, the app can easily be re-established, metadata have been archived and not deleted.

Spotted on an evening walk on an isolated beach in Aotearoa #NewZealand
A small human (5?) holding up a kite so her older brother can get it in the air. She's an expert holder, picking it up every time it falls on the sand. The patience and optimism that it'll fly eventually seems infinite.
A man (30s?) with a thoughtful aspect pushing a wheelbarrow down to the water line. He's got all the gear for a perfect few hours fishing. A while later he's spotted in a deck chair next to a low table with a picnic on it while waiting for a catch.
A small group of young humans directed by a man (40s?) in setting up a sand-drawn rugby pitch. He's wearing a bucket hat and has the air of a dad on a mighty mission. Within minutes he has teams sorted and is running up and down the sand umpiring. This is serious business
Two grey haired naturists walking along the treeline on a quiet patch of the beach. From a distance they look like two tranquil, rather pink wild creatures happily holding hands as one of them points out different cloud formations crossing the skyline.
A couple of women (20s?) smooching while standing in ankle deep water. They pause to take a selfie and then one abruptly stoops and splashes the other. Shrieking, chasing and more smooching to follow.
Any typos spotted in this post are lost after being locked in overnight after the sunset gates were closed at this beach. If spotted give them a drink of water and a ride to the nearest town. They will appreciate breakfast.
@Marián Kyral @mahdi Já mám Firefox a Thunderbird binární, protože tam jsou updaty hodně časté, Libreoffice kompiluju na svých třech strojích pod hodinu (jsou to děla), na čas Qtwebengine se mi nechce vzpomínat.
Zkoušel jsem binpkg gcc, protože mi chvíli zlobila jeho kompilace, ale jinak té binpkg větvi Gentoo rozumím tak, že je spíš pro případ, kdy člověk spravuje síť a nechce kompilovat na každém PC.
Ta binární větev je pro všechny, kdo využívají nejčastější kombinaci USE flagů. Pokud člověk moc nedivočí, tak se použije binární balík. Jinak se kompiluje.
Bohužel čím větší balík, tím více USE flagů a tím větší šance, že se bude muset kompilovat. Nebylo by špatné, mít nějaký nástroj, který by mi řekl, kterými USE flagy se liším.
(nastesti pomerne rychle byl pak i binarni) ... btw firefox ma udrzovanej www-client/firefox-bin (esr i nejnovejsi), takze tady du cestou nejmensiho odporu.

Fairphone 4 and sensors
Full post here. rene.seindal.dk/2024/11/03/fai…
I bought a Fairphone 4 as a part of my project of de-googling my life.
Playing with different operating systems, I somehow ended up with a phone where most of the sensors didn't work, even if they did when I got the phone.

The concern here is that old search engines can give you links and you can go into them to verify the content. AI taking over our search engines hides the sources of information, forcing us to blindly trust the AI and wherever it got its information from.
