I installed Bazzite earlier this month as a dual boot and have been very happy with it. A lot of stuff just worked on bootup, haven’t installed a single driver, and that’s including my AMD GPU, just installed a game, plugged in my controller, and it played. Most games seem to run better than Windows. Fullscreen mode is a lot less annoying to tab out of - there isn’t the annoying momentary black screen, tab just happens. OBS seems to finally be on the level of Windows performance, although some of my favorite extensions are Windows-only. That’s been something of an annoyance, a lot of stuff is Windows-only, but usually if I Google “[program] Linux” I’ll get a workaround or substitute. I still leave Windows installed because of anti-cheat nonsense, but I rarely boot into Windows anymore.

Kind of meandering but that’s my experience so far. Overall pretty satisfied.

Unfortunately, failing classes in public education is not at all common anymore. It requires a lot of documentation, meetings, calls, individualized curriculum adjustments, and a multitude of second chances. On top of that, administration is not a fan because it makes the school look bad in their eyes.

A lot of the teachers I worked with would vent their frustration that it was way too much work to fail a student or get them dropped from the program. Unfortunately, I was too busy figuring out how to update the curriculum from Windows 7, on machines built to run Windows 7, as well as just learning how to teach (my “training” was about half a day of sitting in on other classes), to fight that kind of battle. At some point, it’s a disservice to the rest of the class to spend that time and energy on the ones who are there to coast.

I tried my best. Hopefully everybody learned a few things. If nothing else, I certainly did.

The lack of etiquette is really frustrating. Had a tech student that was always putting in both earbuds as I was speaking. Had to walk over and wave my hand in front of the screen to get their attention.

When they graduated they said they were excited to get a job in the industry. Internally can’t help but think “with what knowledge or experience? You spent the entire class blocking it out.”

Waited for time to pass and dust to settle to respond.

I appreciate this.

Understandably, I think people in mental health-focused communities are sensitive to feeling like their experience is being invalidated. Consequentially, sometimes i feel as though it is hard to speak a different opinion for fear of being labeled as someone who invalidates.

I’m not here for arguments. If differing opinions will result in that then maybe I will bite my tongue. You seem to have a good head on your shoulders based on this comment so I believe the community is headed in the right direction.

Thats very dismissive of you and does not fit this community well imo.

That’s not your place to decide.

pushing your assumptions on others is a dick move.

Don’t really know what assumptions I pushed here.

Telling people you feel your existence is denied because someone says “autistic people don’t have powers” is just not a good look. Calling names and picking fights with people who don’t agree with you isn’t either.

Unfortunately for you, I’m not leaving this community just because you want me to. I will be blocking you because I didn’t come here to be called a dismissive dick. I suggest you do the same.

Have a nice day.

I’m considered gifted as well and I would never compare it to having “powers”. I’m just good at taking IQ tests. That’s not what I’d call a power.

It’s playable but it struggles to maintain 60fps on the lowest settings, I even modded out the environments with a potato mod. So if you don’t need things to be pretty it still is functional, but you can feel the frames dip fairly frequently.

SF6 runs pretty poorly on the Steam Deck so I don’t know why they would want to highlight that, lol. Pretty much had to turn everything to full ugly mode.

I can absolutely relate to what you’re describing. Sometimes you need a break from a specific person, and it is not because you dislike them, you just really need a break. This is, from what I can tell, not a common neurotypical experience and so not something that neurotypical folks can relate to, and it’s hard to put it into words as a way that sounds anything other than “I don’t like being around you”.

The closest I can come to putting it into words is that sometimes my mind behaves like a cat. One moment you’re both enjoying each other’s company, the next I’m totally full and need to go. It’s not about any specific person, it can happen with anybody I’m around.

It’s good that you’re working to understand how to express your experience to others, it’s difficult but worth the time to strengthen relationships. Hopefully your partner understands that it’s not the easiest thing.

You left their party after a couple hours to relax. I’m guessing you were feeling a little overstimulated and needing a break, and your partner probably realized this as well and was willing to let you decompress.

Then you accepted an invitation to socialize with someone else, which to your partner probably seemed like you needed a break from them but not someone else. Of course, this is not a one-to-one situation, I’m sure swimming and a sunset is much more restful and relaxing than a birthday party, but from their perspective they probably wished you could have stayed but respected you needed a break. Now they’re finding out that you didn’t necessarily take a break from socializing, so it looks somewhat more like you needed a break from them.

Again, I know that isn’t exactly what happened, and it isn’t the message you meant to give with your actions, but that’s my attempt to see things from their perspective based on what we’ve been told.

What…what is even the problem? Managers “feel uneasy”? What?

“Have you tried…”

“Tried what?”

“…letting people finish a thought without butting in?”

Nothing you said was out of line. It’s an important skill to be able to laugh at yourself. It’s also an important skill to not make fun of someone after they have let you know there is a good reason that you shouldn’t. I’m autistic myself and the energy of this comment section is making me strongly consider blocking this community and moving on.

Nothing short of handing them cash in person is truly a guarantee. Really depressing how it’s turned out.

The section about “Autistic Burnout” is so validating. It feels like I’m having a new crisis every few years. I’m jealous of neurotypical people that can just…go through life without being overwhelmed so easily. It’s frustrating and there’s no safety net for when it happens so you just have to grit your teeth and push forward when all you want to do is lie down.

So do you just start a conversation, list these commands, and it follows them forever? I’ve just been starting new conversations whenever I use the site.

Get this into app form and I could see it being popular with the Wordle crowd.

That’s quite a story.

That’s the worst part. It has gotten so miserable for both employees and customers and none of the profits made from these changes has gone back to those most affected by them.

Which boils down to: people want to be able to plug something in without thorough inspection.

An easy, cheap solution they could have popularized from the start would be to print something like an arrow on both the port and plug to line up visually.
