Since Musk is allegedly about “free speech” - but obviously only if it suits him and your handle isn’t something he wants…
In regards to that twats tweet regarding the “the Australian people” - as a member of “the Australian people” I want to put it on record that that asshat does not speak for many of us here…..some of us are pleased about this (the ABC app is a far better source of news without the rubbish and downright unintelligent comments that come from posting articles on social media anyway….)
Around 2002 when I tried Ubuntu for the first time on an old Dell laptop.
I only tried it initially as I was bored with Windows UI and liked the look of Linux. Used Linux ever since on and off.
Spotify Premium - because firstly don't care about paying for it as I use it literally every single day and after using it for nearly 10 years the algorithms are perfect when it comes to music recommendations - plus it has a better catalogue as I listen to some pretty obscure non-mainstream dance and jazz/funk music. As for the UI it's fine as I guess I am used to it. As for music sound quality - if I want music sound quality I will listen to my CD collection but for streaming via Bluetooth buds out and about with ANC it's a moot point really....
Well this hits close to home....in a good way I guess....(I mean I was diagnosed 10 years ago and I think the PDA aspect of myself went into overdrive in the opposite direction around "what would the Dr know and I've done just fine for myself until now anyway" - only been the last couple of years I've slowly started to "accept" myself as actually autistic....)
It can be good to challenge authority when it's called for, I mean, I'm the person my friends (nearly all are NT) when they want to know about situations (legal and workplace in particular) and what they can do to fight back.... challenge authority as I am all for it, but it still needs to be done within the bounds of not getting into serious hot water over it as well.
In that sense it has helped me as well. Plenty of situations where they don't expect people to stand up for themselves or understand the laws (which I have used to protect myself over the years in things like real estate leases, employment etc)
But the flip side is challenging every little thing that seems wrong. I have lost count of the amount of times I've been into a HR office for formal counselling over the years because of refusal or being "argumentative" or just flat out "not a good fit for the business"....so yeah like everything it's not a feature it's a bug that probably needs work in my case...but where do you ever start after so many years anyway sigh
Thanks for the heads up!
Just disabled this and a few other "Meta services" apps for "app download" and all the other nonsense...
Unfortunately using a bloated S23 at the moment but toying with getting a P7 Pro 🤦🏼♀️
