Unfortunately we don't have polls in lemmy. Nonetheless I'd love to hear from you: What's your favourite Star Trek theme and/or your favourite scene with special (background) music?

For example: My favourite theme is TNG and my favourite scene is Cochrane's warp speed flight in First Contact with Steppenwolf's "Magic Carpet Ride".

I mean, I get it. For bingewatching to be effective such option must exist. But I just can't imagine to skip Star Trek intros. It's part of the anticipation, the joy, the ritual. What about you? Do you skip intros?

Love your PC hardware piece for a bookmark!

My fav is more than 30 years old and has been through many wonderfull books with me. It is made of leather and shows a hedgehog under a starry sky.

I'll try to keep it short. These are the things I love doing, even though I sometimes don't have the energy for any of it, except lying in my bed. Being autistic can be quite exhausting.

...tinkering with alternative operating systems for notebooks and smarties.

...watching Star Trek - grew up with it and just don't get tired of (re-)watching. My fav is Voyager.

...playing video games - my favs are Loz - Breath of the Wild and Horizon - Zero Dawn

...reading - mainly SF, fantasy, and non-fic. My fav authors are Stephen Baxter, Robin Hobb, and Henry David Thorau.

...strength training - one of my rooms was turned into a training room.

...cycling - I own an almost 20 years old Specialized Rockhopper and prefer day trips.

...travelling and hiking with my GF - mainly in remote areas such as Lapland for example.

... lying in my bed, since it is the one place with the least sensory triggers.

Fingers crossed. I know from my own experience that it can make all the difference in the world to finally have a lot (!) of things explained. (Got my diagnosis at the age of 34, ten years ago.)

Most autistic people struggle with sensoric overload due to a decreased ability to filter stimuli. In my case there are almost no special triggers but the multitude of stimuli, foremost accoustic ones, followed by visual ones, followed by haptic ones. For me it is very important to minimize them by using ANC, a basecap and/or sunglasses as well as large and soft clothes

Apart from that he most important thing is to recognize when I'm starting to melt down and then to grant myself a timeout as soon as possible. Therefore I had to learn what helps me to relax the most. Being in a room with only a little light and sound, read a book, play a game, watch my favourite TV series ... If in the office or the public I sometimes retreat to the toilet, which is embarassing to admit but kind of helps.

I got nothing to add to the comments already written but wanted to say "thanks for sharing", 'cause I'm in this mood now for weeks. It's like I'm waiting for something to happen without knowing what this something is. Luckily I'm going on holidays a few weeks from now. So: Thank you for sharing.

Though they are double the price you mentioned as a limit, I want to recommend the ones I'm using for other people in need of really good NC headphones coming to this thread.

I got myself refurbished Bose Quiet Comfort 45 and in my opinion they are perfect. I use them to blend out noise in public transport, museums, shopping malls, the office and so on. I can wear them for hours without my ears hurting or the battery running out. They really improved my quality of life.

[-] 73kk13@discuss.tchncs.de 7 points 5 months ago

Nah, I'm using it for work, to write proposals and documentation - that's all. And I always include a "written with AI" disclaimer.

My NT girlfriend has two (other) autistic friends. Apart from that there are none or at least none, who would describe themselves as ND or "on the spectrum".

A long time I experienced myself as "normal". It didn't occur to me, that "all the others are weird" can't be right. While reading about ADHD a friend of mine also read about Autism and Asperger's Syndrome. He often said (both teasingly and matter-of-factly) "You most certainly are autistic". Eventually I had enough of it and looked it up. The Wikipidia article convinced me blazingly fast ("wrong planet syndrome") and I got diagnosed within half a year by the age of 34 (i.e. 8 years ago by the time of writing).

It gives you book recommendations based on ✨vibes. ✨ You enter a search query like "funny scifi" and it returns a list of (hopefully!) good recommendations.

IMO it isn't so much about knowing who you are, but where you are, what you do, what you like etc. From that they (e.g. G👀gle) will extrapolate a profile and do whatever they want with it - faked data or not.

Furthermore Fitbit belongs to Google. I wouldn't use a Google product if I was concerned about privacy.

Custom ROM communities (discuss.tchncs.de)
submitted 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) by 73kk13@discuss.tchncs.de to c/android@lemmy.ml

Hi there, do you know about any Custom ROM communities here apart from LineageOS? I do really miss iodé OS for example. I am also curious: Would you like to have a general Custom ROM community or special custom ROM communities?
