You joke, but one time I got woken up by what sounded like a Chinese lady complaining about batteries, and it turned out to be the low power alert on the cheapo import soundbar.

directus→derecho from "straight" to "right"
So that's why "straight on" and "on the right" are the maddeningly confusable "a derecha" and "en derecho". Such a pain when following directions.

Your original intent was to not need to replace tyres. If you still need to replace other parts just as often, you haven't really improved on the problem.

Placebo buttons.
Some appliances like elevators or traffic crossings cycle automatically, but they still have (non-functional) buttons. If the buttons are removed, people complain that the wait is too long. Let them push a button while they wait, and they'll think it's much quicker.

I meant accessibility in the sense of, how difficult/messy/undignified is it to eat. But yes that too. I thought coconuts were brittle, and grapefruit were inedibly sour until I tried some in their country of origin.

The ideal microwave would have
- a dial to set the timer
- NO OTHER CONTROLS!
Start/stop? Use the door. Clear? Turn back the dial. Power settings? Full power, wait, repeat. Everything else? Nobody uses it, nobody knows what it does, nobody kept the instructions. Get rid of it.

That is such bullshit, even aside the ableism angle. Whatever impairments you might have, you already had them when you passed the first time. How are they gonna test you differently? Write all the roadsigns as vague hints? Upholster the car with uncomfortable fabrics?
[(first post)](https://sh.itjust.works/post/9023136) Thanks to everybody who took part. Now it's time to see the results. I've counted up everyone's agreements and disagreements (using some amount of _reading between the lines_. I didn't count any that were unclear). The 'autistic' answer for each statement is indicated with **bold type**: statement | agree | disagree ---|---|--- I often notice small sounds when others do not. | **23** | 0 When I’m reading a story, I find it difficult to work out the characters’ intentions.|**5**|1 I find it easy to "read between the lines" when someone is talking to me.|0|**6** I usually concentrate more on the whole picture, rather than the small details.|0|**4** I know how to tell if someone listening to me is getting bored.|2|**4** I find it easy to do more than one thing at once.|1|**4** I find it easy to work out what someone is thinking or feeling just by looking at their face.|1|**5** If there is an interruption, I can switch back to what I was doing very quickly.|3|**4** I like to collect information about categories of things.|**5**|2 I find it difficult to work out people’s intentions.|**4**|0 So, lemmy.world/autism picked the autistic option every time and scored a perfect 10/10. Interestingly, if we weight it proportionately according to how many picked each option, we only get 6.2, barely over the threshold. Scores of 6 or over indicate possible autism spectrum disorder, so lemmy.world/autism should seriously consider the possibility that they may be autistic. (Personally, I got 8. Go me!) My intentions for running this test was it would be interesting and fun, and I think it was (One respondent was concerned I might have some undisclosed professional interest - I don't, but thanks for looking out for the community). I think the main takeaway is that interpreting self-report questions can be really hard. Should I do another? If so, should I do anything differently?

There is (as far as I know) no easy way to copy a user handle to mention them in a post or comment. There isn't a UI element or menu option on a post to do this. I can go to their just page and use the share button, but then I get (for example): https://lemmy.guide/link?target=@zachatrocity@sh.itjust.works That's not Zach's instance, it's mine. To get the user handle I'd have to edit out the URL part, and change to the correct instance @zachatrocity@lemmy.world. Is that how it's supposed to work? Is the instance change thing a bug? Is there a better way I don't know about?

In Fern Brady's song, she says John Kearns is obsequious and Dara is an imbecile. But, then when they talk about it in the studio she says John isn't obsequious but Dara is. So then why did she write the song that way? My thought was: if she calls Dara obsequious, then she has to call John an imbecile*. At the time she still didn't know that John had been purposefully trying to lose in the team task. Maybe she suspected he had genuine cognitive impairments, and it wouldn't be ok to joke about it? (*There were also 2 other teammates, and the 2 hosts that she could have substituted into that line. My thinking here is that, since she had already worked with 2 of the teammates, she felt it was right for the song that they were the ones to get dissed individually.)

I thought it could be fun/interesting to go through an autism test question by question, and see what resonates with people, and how we approach thinking about the questions.

You know The Culture novels by Iain M Banks, right? How it has sentient starships that choose ironic names for themselves like these; - Sanctioned Parts List - So Much For Subtlety - All Through With This Niceness And Negotiation Stuff - Attitude Adjuster - Of Course I Still Love You - Funny, It Worked Last Time... Well, if you pay attention, you can notice starships hiding in plain sight all around you. Here's a few from recent years; - Alternative Facts - Sigma Grindset - The Woke Mind Virus Is Either Defeated Or Nothing Else Matters - Girlboss - Basket Of Deplorables - Are We The Baddies? - I Am Not A Robot (Click To Confirm) In this thread I want to know; what starship names have you spotted in the wild?
My doctor ordered me a pack of forms and questionnaires to request an assessment for adult autism. In amongst the medical histories and self assessments, this question stuck out; >it is important to know that not everyone who is referred to our service will have a diagnosis of autism confirmed. In the space below, tell us how you think having an autism diagnosis confirmed, or not, might impact on you and your life What's going on here? Do you get asked this for other conditions? We're a community that typically struggles to read between the lines, so I could be way off, but this feels grudging to me. It's a question that says - what's the point of us even offering this service, and why are you so special that we should waste our time on you?

Look at this post https://sh.itjust.works/post/5863836 It's just a regular image post, hosted on the instance server, but it displays as an external link, & you have to click through to view it. Earlier, similarly formatted posts to the same community display as normal image posts. The only difference is that the newer posts include an additional ?format=jpg parameter. I'm guessing this is throwing off the detection of an image post.
As title. There's an option in the settings menu to disable animations. However GIF image posts animate in thumbnail view regardless.
