Didn't expect the mastodon CVE report/account would kinda end up being about platform diversity on the fediverse (TLDR: only mastodon really had the problem, which was huge)
Alert #autism folks. A friend is mentoring a founder going through a startup accelerator program. It’s for idea stage founders. He’s wanting to do customer discovery interviews to validate his idea, which is a mental health app to support adults with autism.

o. I am pretty sure I am #ActuallyAutistic , I had hints building up here and there, and then we took me out of my context, and I moved 300 miles away, and.. it’s like being off-balance every time I leave the house. Sometimes even inside the house. The question is what the fuck do I do about this?
@splott I always feel some sense of disconnection with the world around me, but I find it important to have spaces or activities to help be recharge/recenter/regroup. So I find myself wondering if there were particular aspects of your old home that you can recreate in your new one to help build a sense of comfort and connection… #ActuallyAutistic#ADHD#AuDHD#neurodifferent@actuallyautistic
Further to my griping yesterday about my #ADHD medication woes; I’ve just contacted my local ADHD service.
Things I have learned:
As far as I can tell, two years after being referred to them (already diagnosed), I’m still not officially on their books.
The way I’ve been having to do things (make a GP appointment, wait two weeks for it, they send a letter, we wait two weeks for a reply, etc…) is just The Way To Do Things.
I’ve also learned that the service are changing their Advice & Guidance supplier on April 1st, so today is the last day any dosage increase requests can be submitted until then.
So I’ve just had to hastily arrange a phone appointment with a GP, who has said he’ll do his best to email them today, but that there may not be a secretary available to send the email.
Capacity and generation are two different things. Grid operators have capacity markets that ensure peak load can be met, and incude generations assets, demand response, energy efficiency, etc. Batteries absolutely coumt as capacity so long as they are managed to do so.
