@VintageEdmonton@mstdn.ca I wasn't there for that event (although I remember the tornado well enough), but I was for a similar one in 2012. It was a perfectly clear day. Then there was a few clouds on the horizon. Then we got the order to evacuate, which seemed strange. As we walked to the parking lot, the storm clouds rolled in so fast you could see them (I took a picture of the sky half clear and half covered). It started raining hard before we got to the parking lot, enough that everyone was running. By the time we got there, it was already hailing. I don't remember seeing a storm arrive that quickly. I don't know if there was any damage to the festival, but I'm sure that they didn't have time to properly pack things up or hold them down at the very least.

Ok, I think I'm getting in over my head on this computer problem, any help much appreciated! (Linux/Opensuse TW/KDE/btrfs) Symptom: Everything that tries to save something to my home partition (configurations, sessions, kwallet, etc.) says that I have no space left, and thus won't work. Some programs won't even load (Vivaldi, Steam). Every file manager I have tells me that I do have space left. History: Before this happened I had tried updating a game in Steam thinking that it would warn me if there wasn't enough room on the disk to do so (silly me). Then the whole desktop crashed and I had to restart. Tried: 1) deleting several GB of files. I can now download files to /home, but all the other stuff still won't work. 2) running fsck from bootable flash drive. Mostly didn't do anything. Finally got it to tell me to use btrfs check instead (I am using btrfs). 3) I did that and it told me that there were errors. The only things that looked like errors was in "Checking free space tree" where it said "Space key logical (number) length (number) has no corresponding block group" twice with different numbers. 4) Not being terribly familiar with btrfs yet, I read the fine manual for btrfs check. There were lots of warnings about not trying to repair a btrfs without experienced help, else risking your volumes. So here I am. #linux #opensuse #btrfs

@AeonCypher@lgbtqia.space That's a refreshingly nuanced take on the whole issue. I mean I get it, why so many people are so mad about AI/LLMs, they are doing a great deal of harm. And if you're working with limited information, it's a better side to be on than the purely pro-AI side. But it is a matter of throwing the baby out with the bathwater. The whole situation, while not incomprehensible, is a bit more complicated than just "AI bad/good". The problem isn't the people using it, it's the companies and governments that are proliferating it at a pace unprecedented in history. That's where the problem lies, and that's where change needs to happen. And since they aren't going to change by themselves, it's up to the people to make them. But in order to do that, they need to direct their efforts to where the problem lies instead of against the users. I mean, that's one of the most common ways elites get away with these kinds of abuses, make the people fight each other rather than them. It's simple distraction. So that's why what's needed here is education. People need to be informed about this technology, its capabilities, limitations, and the ethics in their use and proliferation. That's why I skipped ahead in the production schedule of my education project Techne to make this easy to learn lesson on the whole issue: https://techne-system.neocities.org/program/level-2/topic-8/l2t8-iib-tech This way people have a better starting point from which to decide what they want to do than just "pro/anti", which only serves the elites. I believe you said something to this effect yourself. But I also suppose that one of the reasons many people prefer attacking users than institutions is because they don't know how to so the latter. That is why Techne also includes lessons in Social Change Strategies and Systemic/Institutional Change. While these efforts aren't necessarily easy themselves, the lessons are relatively easy to learn and accessible. Because the only way this harm is going to stop is when we stop fighting each other and start fighting the ones truly responsible, together. Only through our collective action can be bring about real change. It's been done before, there are proven methods. We can learn how and become part of the solution. Edit: Given your background I would be interested in your thoughts on the lesson should you have the time and interest. I also welcome feedback from anyone trying to learn from it. #Techne #OSES

A bit of a rambly ranty post about AI/LLMs, Linux, and people Hover or focus to reveal Sensitive
@jzb@hachyderm.io I think you sell the post short, it's got a lot of good things in it that need to be said and heard more. I don't think that all the anger and harshness is a terribly effective way to change other people's minds or behavior, particularly on the Internet. People aren't receptive when they're defensive. I'm also not a big fan of blame. I think it's a clumsy tool that's just easy to reach for because it's part of our animal toolset. I prefer the saying "Don't hate the player, hate the game." I don't mean this as absolving people of personal responsibility, but real solutions will only come from understanding the circumstances which brought about these behaviors (see: Fundamental Attribution Error). And far more grievous than any individual's use or not of AI/LLMs is what is being done at the corporate and government levels regarding it. That is where we should be directing our anger. Trying to get people to stop using AI is like trying to stop weeds from growing by clipping their leaves or petals one by one. What is needed is a massive push towards institutional change. And I know that that is hard, and doesn't produce change right away, and people's anger needs to go somewhere so individuals get caught in the line of fire. But if people just starting even looking in that direction instead of what amounts to just blowing off steam, then change can truly begin to happen. Remember that fighting each other is always what the powers behind these problems want us to do because it distracts us and keeps us ineffective. If anyone wants to discuss strategies for such kinds of change, I have ideas to looks at.

I haven't been keeping up on things here too closely, so have you (or anyone) heard of similar things happening in Canada? If Alberta handled that stuff, I'd just assume that that was likely the case.

Thanks for compiling and posting this. So far my favorite one is the one about modem handshakes. We must do something similar to that, it's just our communication protocols are a lot different, and thus not always considered compatible (which just means that better communication software is needed with more protocols included).

@SylvieLorxu@chaos.social I started to learn programming when I was about 10, but the internet didn't come around until much later. By then the crappy computer classes in school had pretty much killed my enthusiasm for it. I wonder what it might have been like for me if I had had online communities to help me while I still had the drive.

@emsenn@kolektiva.social It's ok. If there really is nothing in the program that would be of benefit to you then that's fine. The program is designed to help people who do lack this knowledge and could benefit from it. I just mentioned it in case it could help. On the other hand, if there is any part of the program you think that could benefit from your knowledge, skills, and experience, it might be a good place for you to share those things and be able to get them out to people. Techne is intended to be always improving, looking for feedback and contributions from anyone who can help, and then in turn being able to disseminate it to others. Also, it is my intention to also build a community that will allow people to practice and apply this knowledge and these skills. Perhaps that may end up providing a space for these conversations you describe. That may be a bit far down the road though for your needs, I don't know.

@emsenn@kolektiva.social That's no small ask, but I get why you ask it, because it needs to be. I don't know that I can offer specific solutions, but what I can offer is a framework that can help lead to this kind of change. Among other things, the Techne System teaches skills to help answer the questions you are asking. In particular, you would likely be interested in the Level 3 topics of Social Change Strategies, and Systemic/Institutional Change. It's all free and open so you can investigate it at your convenience and see if it might be of any worth to you. https://techne-system.neocities.org

@stimpunks@mastodon.online I first learned about behaviorism when I was a teen I think, in a sort of history of psychology. So my impression of it was that it was an old timey theory that we had moved on from with more sophisticated models. So imagine my surprise when I start learning about neurodiversity a couple years ago and that behaviorism is just about *everywhere*. Like next they're going to tell me that phrenology is still in use too?!?

@barefootrambling@autistics.life @pathfinder@beige.party @autistics@fedigroups.social Heh, I just told a psychiatrist basically this the other day, about fitting in. I was basically as you describe in high school too, although I don't think I had as many contacts as you. But for the groups I did have contact with, this was much as it was like for me. But outside that, I did find my group. It was the local Star Trek club, a group with shared interests, communication, and values. And that I and others that I am still in contact with are convinced were mostly if not all neurodivergent. And all of the friends I have irl right now I met in that club all those years ago. And then there is online, these are my people. Even before I came here, my first "home" online was probably Slashdot, "News for Nerds", before it became overly corporate. Then I moved to Reddit, which is mostly special interests. But then that became overly corporate too. So I moved to Lemmy, which introduced me to the Fediverse, and then here, because of the much bigger user base. My point is that, not entirely liminal, but in neurotypical spaces, sure.

So tomorrow is the big day that I've been... anticipating... for months now: my first appointment with a psychiatrist. And yeah, I'm a bit nervous. First of all, what kind will they be: a nice, caring person who actually listens and is well informed about and supportive of neurodiversity? Or an old-school, manipulative elitist who likes having control over people and may have more control over my life than I want them to? How much self advocacy am I going to have to do? (Of course I've been madly scripting since I got the appointment.) And how much of that will do any good?

And then there is the possibility that, thanks to a misunderstanding with another doctor, that this one will likely think that I am there to get a diagnosis for autism and adhd. But really what I want is someone to talk to about my situation, goals, and options, like how to navigate the system and whether a diagnosis would benefit me more than any potential drawbacks. I worry that when told this that they will get angry and tell me that I just wasted their time (typical RSD). (sigh) I guess we'll just have to wait and see. 😬

Replying to @pathfinder@beige.party
@pathfinder What you are talking about (or at least is related to it) is something I call Part-Whole Symbiosis, the idea that when a part of the group/system improves, the whole improves, and vice-versa, in a positive but asynchronous feedback loop. It is quite the opposite of our current dominant paradigm of transactional thinking, as you say. It is beneficial from a system's thinking approach, and is why it is less intuitive for most people. That is why it is covered in detail in the Techne program: https://techne-system.neocities.org/lessons/L3T2-I-PWS I got my first taste of it with interactions with certain friends in my late-teens/early 20s. If we wanted to go out, but one person couldn't afford to do anything, the other person would offer to pay. But there was no record keeping, no favors traded, no debts owed. It worked both ways and we were happy with that. I liked that system, and wondered why the rest of society couldn't be that way. That is why one of my hopes with Techne is to build a community that will serve many purposes, one of which is a sort of asynchronous support network, like mutual aid but a bit more organized. That's further down the line though as there are many practicalities to work out. @shadows @autistics

I just had an idea that I want to run by the neurodivergent community as a possible way that some of us might be able to help each other. I have no idea if anyone would be interested in trying it, or even if it would work, so I want to know what others think.

If you want, you can skip down to "The Idea" below, or you can bare with me for a tiny bit of background first for some context.

So like many of us I have executive function issues. For me, when I get a new interest, I hyperfocus on it for a couple of weeks or months, and then I stop. Not because I lose interest in it, it's more like running out of gas while still on the road: you really want to keep going, but the damn thing just won't move. This is not really a problem for most of my interests, but for certain projects, it can leave them unfinished, which really frustrates me.

So far the only thing that I've found that can give me energy to continue a project is engagement. If I can find someone to talk to about it, that helps. If they talk with me about it, that helps more. If they actually work with me on the project (assuming that it's the kind of project that someone can help with), that helps the most. The trouble of course has been finding people who are also interested in the same thing(s), thus this pretty much never happens for me.

But now I recall some people in the autistic/ND community saying that they actually like listening to other people info-dump about their special interest(s). So this got me thinking...

The Idea:

Basically this shares some traits with body doubling and mutual aid. If someone like me needs engagement to work on a project (or maybe even just share an interest for the sake of some social contact), and someone else would be interested in helping out this way, the second person would be like their interest-buddy (hopefully a better name will be found). Kind of like how some people help others by body-doubling, except this will be with talking or maybe even participating instead of presence. And like body doubling, it can be a one time thing, an ongoing arrangement of some kind, whatever the two (or more?) people agree on. But unlike body doubling, it can be done (well more easily anyway) over the internet. Social media posts, DMs, chats, voice, whatever. Of course discovery would an issue, but no different than for body doubling or mutual aid, so I'll leave that issue.

So how about it? Is there any merit to this? Any use? Any interest? (And I mean in general, not just for me.)

@PeterLG @BinChicken I'm not even convinced that he's actually autistic. I tried looking it up online and the only references I could find were a) his mentioning it on Saturday Night Live (so a pretty suspect claim given that) and b) new stories about that instance.
