    It's not that I'm bothered by this post or anything but the described change is so incredibly minor that I can imagine many people not noticing it at all. Also, it doesn't introduce any new features which would require an explanation. The article really seems quite useless to me.

    But if it's useful to you and other people - it's okay. I just shared my thought.

    Right, I forgot that autistic people are not allowed to post about things that annoy them in a community about annoying things. Noted.

    having the chance to try to hit the daily unlock request window which lasts less than one minute each day (!!!)

    Holy shit, are you serious? Can you elaborate on how does that work? You get an email saying you can do that between 3:27:15 PM and 3:27:50 PM or something?

    Yeah, but those shouldn't really influence memory usage too much unless actively used, right? I'm pretty sure browsers unload unused tabs from memory.

    I myself sometimes use quite a lot of tabs, although I have to admit it's definitely not close to 80 tabs open at all times.

    I have no idea how people use so much RAM. I use a 16 GB machine for work and it runs perfectly. For the majority of the time I'm well below 8GB. And I do use Electron apps.

    Of course, I'm aware of the possible uses demanding more than 16 GB but I can't believe this would be the case for a majority of the people.

    While it's not nearly as customizable as an Ubuntu kernel, it's still easy to make your GrapheneOS look and feel exactly how you want it to, within reason.

    WTF is it supposed to mean?

    Incredibly detailed and clear explanation of computer graphics. I highly recommend all videos from Branch Education - they're so good I can't believe they're free! I see almost exclusively news in this community but no rules forbidding different content so I guess this is ok? It's undeniably related to technology.

    Hi everyone! It's my first post here in an attempt to make this community a bit more active. I've been recently diagnosed at 26 so it's all pretty new to me. However, I really appreciate the fact that now I have a new vocabulary to talk about the stuff I experience and communities like this which might be helpful in understanding myself better. I'm a Software Engineer and I love everything related to programming / Linux / Computer Science. It's been quite literally the most important part of my life since I was like 15. Usually it's great but sometimes when I get a new idea I tend to hyperfixate pretty hard on it to the point where it becomes quite tiring. It could be an idea for a new project, a new technology to learn or to configure something in my Linux setup. Right now it's moving my entire computer setup to NixOS. When I fixate on something like this I usually spend pretty much all of my free time on it. Moreover, my sleep usually is hurt as well because I often can't fall asleep thinking about the stuff I'm currently working on. I will literally lie in bed trying to fall asleep and my brain tries to solve problems or plans and designs stuff. I will spend most of my weekends in front of the computer, even though I love spending time outside, especially in the nice summer weather. But I just can't seem to stop. I force myself to go for walks and runs but it's not really relaxing because, you guessed it, I'm thinking about my project all the time. If I try to distract myself with a podcast I will often notice 15 minutes in that I stopped listening after the first minute or so. I need some way to balance this computer stuff with other things in my life. I just need to chill out sometimes. To play some games, watch some youtube or read a book lying in a hammock without thinking about programming literally every minute I'm awake. The best solution I found so far is weed. It's not 100% effective but in general getting high and going outside tends to help me relax at least a bit. Well, travelling or meeting with people is usually effective in breaking my train of thoughts too. But obviously it comes with its own set of challenges and it's not something I'm willing to do often. So, fellow autists, do you experience something similar? How do you deal with it? Please share advice, experience, or anything related.
