  We use framework, and they are very good and I like them a lot. (Noting OP explicitly excludes them though) But I wouldn’t say they’re particularly durable. The chassis has some flex in it and we’ve had two screens fail out of 30 without being particularly abused. But of course, parts are available and repairs are very easy, so there’s that.

  (I originally put this first para at the end, but it's pretty important, so putting up top) Be aware that just because we're autistic, it doesn't mean we're not bad guys. He might be grooming her, he may already have more personal information than he should, and he may be targetting autistic children specifically. If you think that is the case, go to your parents or the police. I know that's the last thing you'll want to do, but the consequences if he is can be life chang...

  I remember some wild story about a guy who was killed by some other guys, and then buried in a cave with a big rock and who came back to life, but nobody saw it, but somehow became two other guys as well. There was another mad story about the whole world and everything on it being built by magic over six days too, but I think they were joking about that. The sticker book was kinda cool though, and getting a sticker for every lesson and service I attended. Not completing that before I walked...

  We like things that are similar to ourselves. Humanity has always sought company in the darkest of nights. Anthropormising things makes them less scary. > They’ll ask ChatGPT something—even something that has a simple, definitive answer that doesn’t really need further explanation—rather than just looking it up on a search engine. To me, that's a no brainer. Chatgpt will give me the answer I'm looking for much quicker and more efficiently than clicking half a dozen links and wading...

  Horror Certainly traumatised me as a child.

  Even if you do know code, nobody reads all the source code when trying something out. We still rely largely on trust, and herd protection. Lots of stars on github? Been around for a while? Keeps showing up in "Top lists" and on those posts on social media where people list the foss software they use? Issues get solved reasonably quickly and there's no ancient and ignored posts on there? It hasn't changed hands recently to somebody with a new account and no history? It's p...

  > How can I wear a skirt at work Wear skirt. Go to work. I don't know what I'm missing here. Unless there's a safety reason to the job or a mandatory uniform, why would anyone care? Maybe you're in a particularly repressive country and I don't understand the nature of the problem, or why religion comes into it.

  Not a Lemmy resource, but if you do want reasonably unbiased news that gets suppressed - especially in certain countries, Wikipedia does cover some of it - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Portal:Current_events

  They force a sense of urgency and have well rehearsed routines to skirt around these type of questions. Ultimately, if the mark is too sceptical, they'll realise they're wasting their time and move on. Plenty of others, it's not worth trying that hard.

  Personal view from someone who considers themselves pretty liberal: I don't get why people spend money on it. I have no issue at all with anything someone does to make money, provided it doesn't hurt anyone else. Good for them, wish I was attractive enough to do it. I'd have absolutely no issue with my wife or sister or friend earning money this way. What I do object to, is low effort. Not just OF/porn, but influencers and streamers more widely. Fake noises, grotesque leering, beg...

  Year of linux? Dude, please. I'm on my third decade of the thing already.
