A steam deck is basically an arch linux laptop. I bet there are ways you could connect it to a bigger monitor and keyboard to simulate a proper pc though part of why it performs well might be the lower res for the smaller internal display.

There are some great free options to learn game design. Godot, blender. I am most certain its doable to build something but getting a livable wage as an indie game dev itself is a real challenge. Watch indie game the movie for reference on it. Chatgpt, even the free version can also quickly help you get up to speed to plan such kind of project. (Its also a huge autistic blessing to get an ai perspective on how your mails/messages can be interpreted and how you could interpret mails/messages from others.

Speaking as someone who has studied game development, i hope to make my own games aswell but purely as a hobby cause id be unrealistic to believe to get an income out of it. i could never accept a job in the industry where my talent is exploited for profit so even as a portfolio it wouldn’t do.

Where i come from messing with schizophrenic people like that, saying things are a hallucination that are not, or acting like a hallucination is real is considered abuse/neglect. Its actually very dangerous and could significantly worsen her condition.. she needs to get out but its quite possible she psychologically trapped with your brother. As sad as it may be saving her isn’t your responsibility to carry though, but if there friendly connections that could help, she may need someone more mature looking over her.

I asked my partner for an extra opinion on your “manic episode” it doesn’t seem all that out of the ordinary. Manic episodes tend to last hours. This just Appears to be a temporary state of mind.

What i think could more accurately explain it is that you where overloaded and exhausted by sensory experiences which can be physical experience like light and sound but also mental ones like remembering a long to do list, receiving new information. Its very common for autism.

Different from what society seems to assume many autists are very emotional beings but we often struggle to express those feelings or to connect them with neurotypical emotions. We tend to learn automatically to exercise the self control to contain or genuine pure feelings but when we are drained those emotions leak, which can actually be a really good positive moment of reflection and selfgrowth… granted if your with good people willing to listen in kindness.

I hope your in a better spot with better people where you are now. Being family i assume it may be hard to really get away from those people but i wish you strength in keeping their nose out of your mind.

Wow what the actual rollercoaster.

As a fellow autist i am not sure if i would handle such a chain of events so well as you did.

I actually have some context for autism-schizophrenia.

Both medical disorders as well as adhd/add/ocd/dislexia/bipolar are all part of the neurodivergent family,

Therefor its common for overlap between these conditions and for different medical diagnoses to be more common in a single family tree. You may have (had) a schizofrenic family member and to some your autism resembles parts of it.

None of that matters to how your family treated you because even if you did have dillusions or psychotic feelings they are still no reason for forced therapy. These conditions, are very misunderstood and the only person that can truly know if they need help is the neurodivergent person themselves except maybe if they cause proven major harm.

This reads like an ad,

I fail to see what the new technology is? Yt-dlp can do thumbnails just the same and much, much more.

To me this looks like a non malicious version of a part of the functionality that old school YouTubers downloaders have. Paste links, select format, press download.

Is this even Foss? I found no link to any github page.

Rage if no foss /s

If your the developer reading this, i do respect your work and dedication that you put in this project, but a download gui is not new technically nor a discussion about technology. Furthermore i think it would probably be way more useful and possibly even easier if you focused on making an excellent gui for yt-dlp instead. It will grant the same functionality for thumbnails but also videos, metadata, Descriptions texts, ¿comments?

Yup sounds look one of the good reasons to hate on capitalism. The guys able to create reliable long living stuff should be praised to the highest degree. Its why I believe job/career should not be attached to survival income. So much energy gets wasted because stuff is designed to break. So much talent is wasted because too nice things are not profitable

I got lucky and work at the internal IT for a nonprofit, things aint brilliant either but at least its discussable stupidity and not intentional malice

I think if you look around hospitals and science labs you will find there is some old electrical equipment that is still used because of how reliable it is.

When we want we can make lighbulbs that last a century

Space probe Voyager 1 (1977) is still communicating with earth from beyond the solar system, Space tech is a good general example of advanced technology that is designed to keep functioning, EDIT: After 46 years it had a computer glitch just today. It was designed to last only 5 years.

Other examples include bakelite Telephones from the 30s and Radios from even earlier still being fully operational.

Incorporating electrical equipment in implant and prosthesis should be just fine, but it should come ready out of the box with no need for updates whatsoever and the software that is prevalent open source so you don't need to rely on a for profit company to maintain your health post surgery.

Id much rather have a hoodie that i can use to connect and interface with devices then an always online chip implement. I am rooting for this one.

Even if google has your data, up till now there was not much brain muscle to properly analyze it in a realistic and detailed collection of intelligent knowledge. Just some cheap tricks like daily patterns.

An ai could potentially use the same data to learn things about you that you yourself do not. Its not our information that has changed but googles ability to harvest addition information from the data they already have.

I don’t use google service myself but this should alarm people that do. The information they have provided is much more powerful then what was anticipated years ago.

It sound like exactly what i have been saying is the future of human growth.

Ai companions that are like a butler, best friend, therapist, mailperson, accountant, lawyer all in one.

Your ai talks to their ai, before you ever met they each return a baseline of info, conversational opener and suggestions for meeting at a date/location

And absolutely yes on the open source under my direct control cause holy shit end of the world if it is not.

Ok il attempt again, take in mind though i am no expert in this field either.

An api is a system that allows software to talks to eachother. It does this by sending structural packages back and forth that can be read by software.

Such package usually includes a secure identifier to confirm authorized acces ( like a token) as well as a formal request (show me/edit/remove this specific data)

The api receives the data package, and if the authorization is valid executes the request.

The way I understand it (i am no expert on this ) onlyhttp is a way to provide authorization tokens through a browser cookie (you know those right?), meaning only that browser can have access with that token. The client person never sees the token so its pretty secure in the background.

The bearer token is similar to the one in the browser coockie but the client person needs to enter it inside the package for the api. This can happen from any browser or script by anyone who knows the bearer token. Except Apparantly you cant enter such tokens at all if the api is set to onlyhttp.

An API lets different software talk to each other. HttpOnly uses secure tokens (think password) that a server uses to confirm identity.

Bearer tokens also confirm identity but the added security provided by HttpOnly does not allow passing such within the api information.

Common advice is if its free then you are the product and the apple does not do free. They dont need to sell data to data companies to turn a profit, which meta and google very much do.

That doesn’t say apple is secure or private. Personally i don’t trust any that ain’t self hosted but i do have a personal ranking, worst to best for tech companies

Meta - Amazon - google - Microsoft- apple
