I’ve heard the phrase ‘less/more profound’ though it seems there is still much debate on terminology.

Identifying emotions can be useful, probably has to occur after the event when he is receptive. There are many aids for this like emotion wheels etc should be easy to find online. A lot of autistics struggle to understand what they’re feeling or separate emotions from physical feelings so having a guide can help give him the tools. Might be useful to read about alexithymia also.

Perhaps role-playing a scenario might be good too. Such as playing a short board game together and saying let’s try to lose on purpose. Or changing your schedule but letting him know ahead of time that this is a ‘practice’ change (and the change being a nice thing for him). Having it occur in a safe way may help him tolerate and understand it when its less under his control.

Maybe look into autofs which will mount only when you choose to access the drives and then unmount on idle. Could be simpler then trying to react to network status.

Never seen ffprofile before that’s useful. Wonder how up to date it is with all the new ml options.

And while he highlighted some signs of unions reaching more people on platforms like TikTok, the union chief noted a stark fact: “Collectively, the trade union movement has fewer followers on X and Instagram than Nigel Farage on his own.”

“We directly represent five and a half million people, so we’ve got to get much better at using those social media platforms and talking directly to members and potential members,” the TUC head added.

Get on the Fedi!

That’s good. There are also editors that can run it for you and highlight the issues whilst you type, neovim being one.

$() for me, to quote from

Backtick command substitution `...` is legacy syntax with several issues.

1. It has a series of undefined behaviors related to quoting in POSIX.
2. It imposes a custom escaping mode with surprising results.
3. It’s exceptionally hard to nest.

$(...) command substitution has none of these problems, and is therefore strongly encouraged.

Cyclists have hailed a new multi-million pound cycle route as a “gamechanger” as construction nears completion.

The Gloucestershire Cycle Spine, a segregated cycle lane linking Gloucester, Cheltenham and Bishop’s Cleeve, has caused months of disruption but is now due to be finished in March 2026.

A cycling campaign group has hailed the ambitious scheme, which in future could end stretching 26 miles (42km) and all the way to Stroud.

Gloucestershire County Council said the scheme was already causing a boost to the number of people cycling.

The £48m scheme has been criticised after roadworks caused disruption in both Gloucester and Cheltenham.

I guess so, the readme states:

The game Cave Story was released in 2004 and made available in the freeware version after more than five years in development…

It is good, a nice mix of story and action I think plus the (unique?) concept of your owl carrying characters who have their own abilities is interesting. The puzzles are pretty simple it’s mostly about the combat though there’s also a little bit of stealth needed at times.

Difficulty does ramp up quite fast, or at least compared to something like Mario Wonder but Owlboy is a shorter game so I guess that’s to be expected. The pixel art is luscious and there are some memorable scenes. In reviews I think it ranges from 70-90% and I’d give it 80+ for sure.

If you have a linux machine Cave Story is also freely available via flatpak: https://flathub.org/en/apps/com.gitlab.coringao.cavestory-nx

Owlboy, continuing my slow progress. Reminds me of Cave Story a bit.

Proton has already begun to cut some ties with Switzerland over "legal uncertainty." Lumo is the first product to change home, with Germany currently hosting its servers.

The company has also confirmed it’s developing facilities in Norway, while investing over €100 million to build a “sovereign European stack” for its services, ensuring it “can’t be held hostage by Switzerland” if the laws change for the worse.

Switzerland’s loss is Germany and Norway’s gain

Done this for my partner - usb goes in to boot to Linux, take it out to boot back to pre-existing Windows, really simple. Fedora will install to usb no problem. Windows can’t screw up this way either, bit safer then using same drive. Speed has not been a problem.
