Don't talk to me about painful and please take the rest of your insufferable statements and shove them up your ass

AHDH is an actual diagnosed disability. If I have to take meds that would leave you tweaking for 3 days then employers better allow me being late sometimes.
machinawhite··on The Battle to Define Mental Illness (2010)
> Financial entitlements

???

> various medical services

I pay hundreds of euros each month for health insurance I expect something in return

> higher welfare rates

Anecdotally none of my neurodivergent friends are on welfare. But I imagine people with more severe types of autism cannot really function in a work environment. That's why it qualifies as a disability.

> Accommodations, such as extra time on tests

Never got it

> a more comfortable working environment

Ahahahahahaha

> more attention and time having school staff attend to them

You're tripping

> Affirmative action schemes.

???

> Exclusion from military drafts.

I don't know anything about military

> Extra leeway in social situations in general - in specific ways.

You spelled extra bullying wrong

> second order effects

What the fuck are you even yapping about?

machinawhite··on 11 years of hosting a SaaS
I think they meant their own setup is dodgy, not DO's
machinawhite··on 11 years of hosting a SaaS
I'm not sure I see any criticism of DO in OPs post. They said _their_ setup was dodgy, and _they_ aren't proud of not checking the inbox. Other than that they just explained what happened, no? Looks like a bit of misunderstanding to me

I used to think HN is full of brilliant people but then there's emotionaly stunted priviliged yuppies like you spewing the most retarded shit I've ever seen. Please fuck off and work yourself to death so there's less of you.

Fuck you.

machinawhite··on The UX Research Reckoning is Here
> What foreground/background colors are readable (white/black and black/white perform about on par, with yellow/blue being the best IIRC), destructive actions shouldn't be next to constructive (at the minimum there should be a separator between 'Save' and 'Quit'), ...

Agreed, but hasn't all of this research already been done? I thought these are well understood already. A/B testing hamburger menus literally sounds insane to me

machinawhite··on Tech companies keep falling for the forever fallacy
You're delusional.

I'm actually surprised such a simple app would have such bad performance and crash at all?
machinawhite··on New F-Droid repository format for faster and smaller updates
More hostile than Windows for sure. F-Droid does not produce high quality hardware to go with it.
machinawhite··on Honestly, It's Probably the Phones
I'm not against taking measures during a pandemic so that people don't die brother I just think taking and taking and giving absolutely nothing in return is a little disrespectful and your sharp debating skills won't make me any less empathetic for young people
machinawhite··on Honestly, It's Probably the Phones
I thought we're talking about young people, not --toddlers-- children, for Christ's sake
machinawhite··on Honestly, It's Probably the Phones
"We're all in it together" means nothing when you get shafted the most but ok
