    Autistic things are sometimes truly depressing. Absolutely. And figuring out how to interact with people, especially if they are people that you may find attractive for now intimate companionship (not trying to assume) is something that isn't generally explicitly taught. It probably should be though as doing so would significantly reduce interpersonal strife. If wanting or receptive to some advice from someone with AuADHD, I can share something that helps my brain in some in-person social situations. Sometimes, I reframe it as a "scene" where I am playing the character of Me. Not an exaggeration or non-authentic version of myself, more like "method acting". This tricks my brain into being more present and not worrying about possible futures or cringey things of the past. People of this kind I've heard of seem very energetic. They may not always do the smartest thing, but they do it all the way in. Maybe that's what's wise. For their benefit and the role that they in company structures, it is one approach that pays out for some. And it is one that's heavily promoted. However, it does effectively amount to gambling, albeit with minimal personal risk to the CEO, considering the level of connections and wealth required for the position, not to mention the Golden Parachutes that they have in their contracts, should they be replaced. Though then why be a corporate executive. Doesn't seem anything desirable. Generally, it's about accumulation of personal wealth and power, rather than actually believing in a given service or product. While to you and I, that may not seem desirable, to a certain percentage of the population, it is a principal drive. Unfortunately for us, and humanity at-large, there's also a statistically-significant increase in the incidence of anti-social personality disorder in those who pursue such positions, compared to the population average.

    I've been using Vivaldi as my logged in browser for years. I like the double tab bar groups, session management, email client, sidebar and tab bar on mobile. It is strange to me that tab bar isn't a thing on mobile on other browsers despite phones having way more vertical space than computers. Although for internet searches I use a seperate lighter weight browser that clears its data on close. Ecosia also been using for years. For a while it was geniunely better than the other search engines I had tried but nowadays it's worse since it started to return google translate webpage translation links based on search region instead of the webpages themselves. Also not sure what to think about the counter they readded after removing it to reduce the emphasis on quantity over quality like a year ago. I don't use duckduckgo as its name and the way privacy communities used to obsess about it made me distrust it for some reason

    That would be 1 in 4 users and that's just not accurate at all. What you mean to say is 25% of Windows users still use windows 7. Its still an alarming statistic, and no wonder bruteforce cyberattacks are still so effective today considering it hasn't received security updates in like 10 years. I sincerely hope those people aren't connecting their devices to the internet like, at all. I'm fairly sure at this point even using a Debian based distro is better than sticking to windows 7.

    Indeed I did not, we’re at a stalemate because you and I do not believe what the other is saying! So we can’t move anywhere since it’s two walls. Buuuut Tim Apple got my back for once, just saw this now!: https://lemmy.blahaj.zone/post/27197259 I’ll leave it at that, as thanks to that white paper I win! Yay internet points!
