Time for another Touhou hijack. This time it's this cooking action/sim! It's liked by a lot of people even if they're not particularly into Touhou. I highly recommend it. Very unique game.
#GameInfekt - Das Spiel ist soooo hübsch! Erinnert total an ältere JRPGs und der Charme kommt echt gut rüber. Der Soundtrack ist auch super. Freue mich schon sehr auf den Release Ende August. 💗
Magic Earth is an alternative to Waze and Google Maps with crowdsourced traffic and road hazard information
As part of a #BigTechDiet, I've been hoping to find an alternative to #Waze and #Google Maps - a navigation app that can tell me about slowdowns, hazards, and speed traps based on reports from other users. Today, I learned about Magic Earth.
It's proprietary, but not from FAANG or a company subject to the government of China, Russia, or Five Eyes countries. It collects minimal user data and has a good privacy policy. There are versions for both Android and iOS, and the Android version works without Google services.
I would say just buy TomTom Go, only 20 euros a year and no Google BS. Or if you really don’t want to pay use Amigo, it’s also from TomTom with the same life traffic etc.
My post about communick on @fediverse was unfeatured and I got a 3-day ban for "advertisements".
The post was well received and had 100+ upvotes. I've written it after someone found a comment of mine and said more people could be interested.
I did talk about communick a lot on that community, but my participation was far from spammy. I also subscribed to plenty of other communities and kept any communick-related comments to the "right" place.
reading the news about the flood here in Norway and wiki pages on the revolution in Iran converged into a bizarre dream during my nap: i'm a spy fighting the regime and the flood simultaneously, there's danger everywhere and i must save people (from either fanatic theocrats or masses of water, choose your poison), pew-pew 🦸♀️
all i wanted was to refresh my memory of what happened in Iran during that time, so i'm not... erm... so disoriented to read Disoriental by Négar Djavadi (see what i did there? 🥁🥴)
📖 According to the Nice and Accurate Prophecies of Agnes Nutter, the world will end on a Saturday. A Saturday quite soon, in fact.
The whole of our six-part adapation of @neilhimself and Terry Pratchett's wonderful 1990 fantasy Good Omens is on BBC Sounds now - and you can listen from anywhere in the world. Tell your friends, good or evil.
I have been massively enjoying this rerun of the radio series on @BBCRadio4 of the much missed #TerryPratchett + @neilhimself 's genius book #GoodOmens.
It's been wonderful to introduce a whole new generation to both Pratchett and Gaiman's work.
A big recommend if you haven't read/heard it.
(Have not seen TV series so can't compare to that)
@Ruth_Mottram@BBCRadio4@neilhimself
FWIW, the #BBC adaptation of Good Omens is probably my favourite. I have read the book & seen the TV version, but the radio adaptation wins for painting mind pictures & humour. If you are a fan of #TerryPratchett and haven't heard it, do listen. https://bbc.in/3qgSXt7
REALLY sick of hearing about how you have the experience to make value judgements about the experience of being diagnosed as a child.
I get that the diagnosis is a revelation.
And it is. I agree .
But i want to puke remembering how that "privilege" was used to justify telling kids "IF you manage to prove that you are able to emulate a person you can be awarded honorary adult status"
Otherwise you count as something between a child and an animal
Now im going to address the reason i made this thread
The phrase
"Aspie Supremacy"
First off
The concept of subtypes was CREATED to force "useful" autistic kids to compete for the privilege of being allowed to survive.
The fucked up messaging designed to make us desperate to prove we are NOT useless was built in on PURPOSE.
And that message ALSO is reinforced by ableist thinking in general.
Diagnosis or no, internalized ableism ISN'T avoidable
And here's the part which adult dx people are NOT going to like.
If there WAS a hierarchy within the autistic community based solely on being autistic.
The privileged category would be people who masked well enough to reach adulthood without being outed.
If You were diagnosed as being autistic without needing much support before autism was recognized as a SPECTRUM...
Most white people would have been labeled either high functioning or aspies
I just watched Hardware Unboxed demonstrating a last gen #Radeon completely obliterating current gen #GeForce in both raster performance and raytracing, in the $500 range. #Gaming#VideoGames
