If you just arrived, welcome! Have any interest in fabricating some sweet soft and chrome to assist with everything from communication to positive habit forming? #A11y? You might have found the right place! I'm heavily interested in creating accessible technologies that address gaps in care, utility, and function. A blend of futurism with a humanist flair. Zero internet connectivity required, no "cloud backups" or gathering of your data. Everything runs local, zero "AI" bloat.

I should be trying to get my silly ass to bed but here we are. 😅 You only have to do this once if you want to authorize 3rd party installs. Nerds like us can still use ADB or provide a signed built APK using your dev credentials and just deploy it without. This is different from the "developer options" we currently have. It is *just* for devs who are not authenticated so they can still offer support to a user without the walled garden warden keeping control.

making us wait 24h is crazy

Singing is one of those things I love doing when I'm feeling like I'm a bit disconnected. From trying to start the next step with a project to dumb neuro things making my place in the world feel a bit less certain like just about any other mammal in my position. Instead of dwelling or letting that time just evaporate I usually throw on a playlist I can generally keep pace with. Plenty of piano and acoustic masters, not that cheesy layered nonsense. Something I can drown out the lead to while still being able to pick up on notation, no percussion to mess up my rhythm. ANC on so I'm not hurting myself with my own voice was a nice upgrade. Works the heart like a decent run if you know what you are doing, shapes your core a fair bit if you emote along while genuinely trying to carry a tune. Autistic motor neuron issues make mirroring a stupid difficult challenge here, so wins when my "real" voice pops through are little dopamine hits worth the effort. Hard to ignore when everything finally syncs up after a day of dropping shit, burning yourself, banging into doors, or struggling to hold a hug for long. When your senses react unanimously to something you are actively participating in, when you move along and respond in kind to cues that trigger your emotions while continuously learning how to keep pace, when that full throated Bennington scream clears right to the end.. it feels amazing. You should probably sing more. Goodnight, mammals. ♥️

@thegothtslur @leon78431 @sleepy_devo They always dump shit on the floor then leave the party as if nobody else can see how much of an amazing credit to their arguments they've become.

i'm not a trans woman you fucking muppet

Look at what Google's AI did to my beautiful icons! A part of the march pixel drop, "custom" home screen icons that use pre built prompts for generation. Very little control built-in!

@DreamLeaf5 Macy's is genuinely trash now, like a glorified garage sale. Panera has such a limited variety these days it feels like a different company entirely. You'd smell nothing but bread and scones baking when you walked in. Now everything is QSR packed. 🤢

Remember Starbucks and Macy’s and Panera Bread??

@techspence @CroodSolutions You could have had 140 if only..

@CroodSolutions we're only limited by our imaginat... I mean tokens

Sorry folks but, "we found 137 vulnerabilities we never knew were there thanks to AI" doesn't mean you're all of a sudden protected.

@reactionarycen1 We approach various cancer treatments like this by giving what we think is the highest tolerable dosage to attack the problem. We've been done this with semaglutide. Upper and lower bounds issues won't be using placebos with zero effectiveness, or rather shouldn't.

@Snakesan What if you are testing higher doses or drug interactions?

RCTs are kind of outdated if I'm being honest. Some classifications of drugs and therapies have such immediate results that playing with placebos begins to feel like a form of cruelty. We've known about their effectiveness for too long, time to start trusting the science by modifying this approach a bit.

Are we still doing this? Thirty two years ago I know this was the practice, up to having my parents and the nursing station attendant at school ensure the medication was actually being taken as I'd tongue or cheek it then spit it into a toilet. Even if it kind of dissolved a bit. Hated how anxious it made me feel without having the language or an adult around me willing to listen. There is a tongue reflex I still occasionally trigger due to the way I'd torque it so I could hide them above my back teeth on the right, above the gum line. I'd hope things are different today.

Ritalin is a schedule II controlled substance. Same classification as cocaine and meth. We prescribe it to six-year-olds for fidgeting.

@leon78431 @sleepy_devo Trans Radical Activist is a label given by TERFS, who are political in nature. Sorry you managed to drink the kool-aid so much you managed to integrate terms you hardly understand into your vocab. The person you threw that at is not a TRA. 😭

@Snakesan @sleepy_devo i bet you don't even know what TRA means and what is "your kind"

Love it. Things could be adjusted to really make this process secure from third party influence but it is a start. You can still ADB your unsigned apps if you really wanted to, though at this point a dev account is pretty cheap and not really worth skipping past. If it means our parents are less likely to become victims to a sideloaded app I'm all for it. Those of us who make apps can work around it.

My only concern is the one time 24hr cooldown. This should be a process that has a natural sunsetting period, forcing another 24hr cooldown if another source is being used for apps. Bad actors can still work around this, tooling the cooldown into their social exploit chain. The restart is neat, not having it enter a "safe mode" to verify unauthorized software isn't running also seems like a missed opportunity though.

Google just announced a "developer mode" coming to Android. It continues to enable installing unsigned software, a key use case in hobby development and in human rights tools. And it has serious safeguards against the most potent malware attacks like AI impersonation.

@leon78431 @sleepy_devo idrk why i bother with your kind x.com/leon78431/stat…

@Snakesan @sleepy_devo okay but you don't come across like you have communication difficulties for someone so articulate this is even less of an argument though

@leon78431 @sleepy_devo I can try to distil it a bit. I've become pretty comfortable accepting that I have a communication difficulty. Accommodating it has led to wild outcomes in my personal life in part because I learned, generally, most people are pretty chill about differences. Just be chill, bro.

@Snakesan @sleepy_devo this is word salad

@cremieuxrecueil This would just lead to bias while being considered unethical, as this isn't really a metric we are studying. Not yet at least. There is valuable data here. If it helps those who cannot reform habits well there could be a benefit for going blind here.

The solution is clear: We need to find more ignorant fat people. Link: bloomberg.com/news/articles/…

This is not good: People have learned that GLP-1s are really effective, so if they're not losing weight, they know they're in the placebo group. So these people getting placebos are getting mad and leaving the trials.

Between this and the adolescent behavioral health revolution + pill mill kid survival stories coming out more and more it feels like America is going to be spending an incredible amount of time and effort fixing unintended harms caused by folks who love to publish an image like the Duggar family. Fake input leading to demands for fake performances. That has to lead to some really dark aspects to be hidden from view.

The Duggars raised not one, but two pedophiles, and they did it on national TV. I have really serious, really dark questions about what went on in that home, how many people knew, and for how long.

I do not want to live in a world where my mostly silent context cues and emotes are seen as something to be cautious around. That access and reliability gain is too important to hide due to others perceptions. I see how we handle unique identities in much the same way. You don't have to vibe with someone who struggle when it comes to verbalized speech, you don't have to be an ass about it. Just treat others with basic respect. Seems easy enough.

@sleepy_devo but why exactly do you think it is "asshol"ic to call a "trans woman" "he" you haven't explained why

@Glinner @sleepy_devo What the ...? How? Where did you feel you were led to this conclusion? When did you review the guy you are making baseless claims against? Why didn't you put in even a tiny bit of effort here? No wonder you keep attracting flies to your "movement".

Yo @sleepy_devo stop trying to get into women's spaces and sports, stop trying to force us to use your made-up words, stop getting people fired for not playing along. Then we will indeed 'leave you alone'.

@stardewy_ I remember frito pie from the first grade! Brought it up to NY when we moved. The Garbage Plate is a Rochester NY thing, you can find places around Buffalo that offer them as well.

i’m from new jersey and never once in my life had i heard of an oreo overload

This is a literally defining characteristic of the disorder when intellectual ability isn't impacted while not suggesting others seek a diagnosis. Autistic voices are going to exist. There are some that just want to use the topic for engagement and for those continue to call them out. When someone explains why this differs from "lack of courage" you aren't supposed to hop in and say "that isn't autism". When the person that tries to educate you about this is autistic themselves.. wyd?

@suchnerve @guiltyasinights This isn't an autism symptom exclusively though. You could just be bad at socializing

tick in the “more likely you’re autistic” column btw (bad at social cues → lifelong pattern of not knowing why people are angry at you → conditioned to assume you could ALWAYS be doing something wrong without realizing it)
