Thymos
It's a local program (I live in the Netherlands) for people with autism or similar issues. They teach you html and java and some other stuff I don't remember. Eventually they help you to work on projects they do for other businesses and even find a job with a "regular" company, but only if you're ready for that and able to do it. It's government funded and aside from the IT professionals, they also have healthcare professionals who help you with any issues you encounter in the work environment. After having been unemployed for years due to mental health issues, it's a very exciting opportunity for me. I've already visited the company and the people and work environment there seem really suitable.
- I started using Lemmy
- Got back on Mastodon when it got rolling a bit more. I follow more accounts now and it's actually fun.
- Got back on linux after a 5 year hiatus. I should have done it a whole lot sooner, I enjoy using my computer more.
- Needed a laptop and instead of buying a new one, I got a secondhand laptop from a local system administrator who put linux on it. Debian is great and I love the old Thinkpad.
- I've applied to a learn/work program in web development. I haven't started yet, but I will soon. I'm so excited for that.
Thanks, it really was. I had happily used the self-checkouts for years before that, so it's a real shame.
NL as well. Maybe it's because it's a big city, poor neighbourhood, more theft, I don't know, but I'm done with it.
Also, some places do random inspection. But that’s frustration free too
Yeah, I'm gonna disagree with that. They've recently ramped up those checks because of increased theft due to inflation. They also scan more items now. After having been checked 4 times in a row and them completely emptying my bag each time, I no longer use the self checkout.
A secondhand woolen blanket. After years of being sweaty and uncomfortable under synthetic duvets, I've never slept better.
The words can be copyrighted alright, that's not the problem here. Even without publishing them, the creator already has copyright over his 624 words. There's probably nobody who would be interested in publishing them because, let's face it, they aren't that interesting on their own, unlike a novel or a poem. All the stuff that makes this a piece of art is added by the AI, whereas a printing press adds very little to nothing to a book.

What do you need that for?
