i've seen this story being posted so many times over the years and every time it's such a good read

i'm a programmer (an actual programmer, not a vibe coder). sometimes it feels like the options available to me in the future are either killing myself or accepting homelessness

from what i'm seeing, most likely ai will never live up to the hype and the bubble will burst. there's still a chance it wrecks every industry before bursting, though, which is my fear.

it's a really important misconception, though. disabilities and disorders are not illnesses and should never be treated as such

 

i've wanted to talk about this for a while, but i'm not interested in any fuckass liberal takes, so i'm posting this here

also, i'm not a medical/mental health professional so feel free to call me on my bullshit. i'm genuinely interested to hear why i might be wrong

anyway

adhd and autism are social disorders

that doesn't mean that "everyone is a little autistic". that doesn't mean that "labels don't matter". that doesn't mean that we should all get off our meds. they're genuinely disorders and need to be treated as such

what it means is that they're not illnesses. these conditions are not inherently disorders, they're socially determined to be disorders. they're disorders because they make us misadjusted to our current class society, not because they're inherently harmful to our health

i'm also not saying that there aren't inherent limitations to autism or adhd, of course there are, very clearly. but limitations aren't necessarily disorders or disabling. everyone has limitations, even neurotypicals, but not everyone has mental disorders. children and the elderly have particular limitations, but neither childhood nor old age are disorders. perfectly healthy people have numerous limitations compared to other healthy people, but those limitations don't hinder their participation in our current society

this discussion frustrates me so much because it seems to be either the "labels don't matter" discourse that put me off of seeking diagnosis for over a decade or the "autism/adhd is an illness and i'm broken for having it" discourse which sometimes veers very close to eugenics and puts the blame of our suffering in our "bad genes"

being autistic and having adhd sucks and we need as much treatment as we can get and i love my meds, but this suffering is not my fault. a capitalist class society that steals our lives and grinds us to a pulp is to blame. neurotypicals just happen to be better at surviving this hell (which is exactly why they're typical). in a society designed for our wellbeing, those diagnoses would look very different

what do you think?

[–] bunitor 3 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 children)

this is the correct answer, as much as people here don't like it. the only reason neurotypical people are typical is that they're fit as workers in a class society. everyone has limitations, including neurotypicals, but our limitations make us misfit to a class society. we're not as able to output work consistently 40h per week and do what we're told without being told it

[–] bunitor 5 points 1 week ago (2 children)

they're not illnesses and that's not even a controversial statement. no mental health professional worth their salt would call autism or adhd illnesses

so cool to be late to my therapy appointment at 9:30 even though i woke up 7am (me rn)

what's weirdest to me is that if i try to force myself to not doing nothing for an hour after i wake up, it feels weird and wrong in a way i can't explain

 

nossa, essa proposta de isenção fiscal pra fazenda de servidor gringo no brasil me deixou tão puto com esse filha da puta. ele atropelou toda discussão sobre soberania digital que tá acontecendo no brasil, justamente no momento em que ela é mais relevante, e faz uma proposta que basicamente coloca a gente numa posição permanente de colônia digital

eu já sabia que ele era de direita, mas o que passou na cabeça desse canalha pra fazer essa merda? e foi uma canetada que ele fez sozinho, sem envolver nem o próprio ministério da ciência e tecnologia

antes disso eu tava relevando os petistas que ainda defendiam haddad com aquela explicação do "é o melhor que dá pra fazer" (apesar de ser mentira). agora eu quero que se foda, não vou deixar ninguém defender esse estrume na minha frente. ele desde o começo do governo foi um lixo, mas eu nunca imaginaria que ele colocaria a gente numa posição de colônia que impressionaria até um político do novo

it looks like you're implying state investment isn't capitalistic. if that's the case: capitalism requires state intervention

not sure if this is bait, but public companies are inherently more efficient per dollar than private companies from the simple fact that they don't need to waste money paying shareholders

[–] bunitor 3 points 2 weeks ago

i feel like people are misunderstanding your point. yes, generative ai is bullshit, but it doesn't need to be good in order to replace workers

[–] bunitor 8 points 2 weeks ago

this confirms what i just said in reply to a different comment: most cases of ai "success" are actually curated by real people from a sea of bullshit

[–] bunitor 13 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

this summarizes most cases of ai "success". people see generative ai generating good results once and then extrapolate that they're able to consistently generate good results, but the reality is that most of what it generates is bullshit and the cases of success are a minority of the "content" ai is generating, curated by actual people

[–] bunitor 3 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

people are downvoting you, but you're right

 

i get a little annoyed at posts that start with broad statements like "is linux actually ready for the average user?" but then it's just someone asking for help to fix a problem they have with their sources.list or whatever. it's not a massive problem, but it's misleading and it feels borderline inflammatory sometimes

please tell when you're asking for help

anyone else noticed this? it started a few days ago

i want to test debian trixie (13) so i can report bugs and troubleshoot before the release later this year. i thought about simply installing trixie alongside my current bookworm installation, but that won't be my scenario when the time comes, since i've been updating my system instead of reinstalling it since debian jessie (8) and this time it won't be different. how can i clone my current system so i can simulate an update to trixie? do i simply create a new partition and copy my files over, then chroot to it and install grub?

 

fazia um tempinho que eu não entrava no xmpp e eu decidi ver como estavam as coisas. eu percebi que eu tava desligado no meu cliente no celular e aí tentei fazer o login e percebi que eu tava recebendo uma falha de autenticação. depois de algumas tentativas, eu fui fazer login no lemmy pra confirmar que minha senha tava certa (e tava) e tentei entrar usando o xmpp.lemmy.eco.br (não rolou). alguém mais com o mesmo problema?

alguém mais sente isso ou sou só eu?

eu fui testar o old lemmy esses dias e percebi que, no all (que é a listagem padrão do old lemmy) ele mostra conteúdo marcado como nsfw explicitamente. e não demora muito pra aparecer: na imagem que eu mandei, não precisa nem descer a página. não tem como remover isso na configuração. o melhor que dá pra fazer é mudar a listagem pra local ou subscribed

só um aviso pra quem por um acaso queira abrir o old lemmy no trabalho não ser demitido

 

i'm having a little bit of a hard time expanding the unstaged changes on magit. the mode menu works fine via touch on android, so i can do most operations, but i can't expand the unstaged files in the main magit buffer without the keyboard, which is a problem since read-only buffers hide the kb by default. i could change that configuration, but i'm using a phone, so screen real state is very limited, so i want to avoid that if possible. i tried touching, double tapping, holding, but nothing seems to expand the files

i feel like i'm in uncharted territory, so this is a long shot i think, but is anyone else having similar problems?

small browsers (self.linux)
submitted 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago) by bunitor to c/linux@lemmy.ml
 

please dump any small browsers you know about, i'd like to try them out

the two i can think of are emacs's eww and links (text mode). eww has been surprisingly useful, even without js support and extremely barebones html rendering

this is eww:

emacs window with eww displaying linux@l.ml's header

and this is links:

terminal window with links displaying linux@l.ml's header

sadly, neither is able to login to lemmy, but I was able to login to mastodon through brutaldon

EDIT: ooh, i forgot about lynx (not links). also command-line. it managed to successfully login to lemmy:

terminal window with lynx displaying this post before this edit

 

tl;dr if you have an encoding problem while running guile on emacs for android with termux, make sure the LANG env var on emacs matches the value of termux:

;; ~/.emacs.d/early-init.el
(setenv "LANG" "en_US.UTF-8")

don't where else to post this, so i'm posting it here so it doesn't gets lost

emacs >=30 comes with android support. i've been using it for a while now, but it's really only useful if you can install applications to use it with. that's why the project offers an emacs package and a termux package with the same signature so you can share the termux binaries with the emacs runtime. packages and instructions here: https://sourceforge.net/projects/android-ports-for-gnu-emacs/files/termux/

i tried running guile on emacs with geiser a few days ago but it failed to run due to some encoding issues. it ran fine on termux

after a little googling, i compared the values of the LANG variable in both termux and emacs:

  • termux: LANG=en_US.UTF-8
  • emacs: LANG=en_US.utf8

then i just changed ˋLANGˋ on emacs to match the termux value and that solved the problem! to keep it working, i added the change to ˋ~/.emacs.d/early-init.elˋ:

(setenv "LANG" "en_US.UTF-8")
 

over on reddit, there's a distinction between /r/linux (general discussions) and /r/linuxquestions (community support). i notice a lot of support posts over here, which could warrant the split, but otoh maybe the volume of posts is not enough to justify it and it could risk spreading our community way too thin

what do you think?
