That's LTT in the bottom
  • It's always funny seeing users doing their cargo cult dances when troubleshooting stuff

    Shocked Pikachu face when other stuff starts breaking because you 'optimised' 500 settings

  • Apple
  • I wanna throw in my 2 cents as I'm considering getting an iPhone after only ever using Android

    Recently I've started noticing how much disrespect for your time and attention I've experienced on Android. It's not so much Android itself, but the ecosystem around it:

    • A layer of bloatware from most major manufacturers

    • The Play Store and Samsung store trying their hardest to sell you some bullshit app with the most obnoxious clickbait banner.

    • My Samsung phone forcing me to install some random apps I don't want with a prompt that I can't dismiss.

    • Google or Samsung (I can't remember which) trying to get me to agree to personalised ads by presenting it as if it's a 'we've updated our terms' type prompt.

    • Google ads being generally annoying.

    And more general malware-like behaviour trying to sell me shit. I don't care.

    I'm not my grandma who's just going to blindly fall for whatever slight of hand that gets them 10c when I install some borderline malware app, it's just annoying. I just want a phone that's reasonably powerful, and works.

    Android itself is great, and I've been able to improve the experience by using an ad blocker and f-droid where possible, but it's rough. I can't install a custom ROM as my banking apps don't work if I do :////

    I hate looking up to Apple as a solution here as they're do a bunch of shitty things

  • Deleted
    *Permanently Deleted*
  • FileZilla, until the maintainer(s?) decided to start putting malware in the installer.

    Likewise with Moq, it's not cool grabbing emails from my got config without asking and sending them somewhere.

  • Microbiology (GUT BIOME) with Dr. Elaine Hsiao (followed by my anecdotally ASD-safe diet)
  • You are going to get a lot of flak for posting this, and I'd suggest removing it.

    A lot of adults living with Autism, particularly those who grew up in the shadow of the vaccine scares of the late 90s are told that autism is something wrong with us that needs to be "fixed", rather than a part of who we are, and something to manage.

    We are offered and sold products and cures, often by people who do care (in the case of many, parents and family) that ultimately don't work. For many of the people reading this, you've added another entry to the long list of things they've been told will "fix" them.

    Please be mindful of the fact that autism as a whole is still not very well understood by the medical community.

    I'm glad that your daughter is doing better.

    But given that even the researchers you mentioned don't fully understand this relationship themselves, I would suggest that providing a list of foods and why they fix specific problems is not a good thing, and you're doing harm by posting it.

    You do not know for sure the relationship between those specific foods and behaviour withr regards autism. At this time I'd imagine there's not a research organisation that does.

    I would encourage the mods to remove this post.
