I'd really like the author who has no idea what is going on with Dissociative Identity Disorder to not go about mentioning DID in the same breath as schizophrenia.

They are not related in any way. Schizophrenia is explicitly neurochemical and treatable with medication. Schizophrenia is something you can be genetically predisposed to and born with.

DID and related dissociative disorders are based in trauma and are NOT something you can be born with. While trauma can cause neurological changes, they are not neurochemical in nature, and they DO NOT respond to medication. There is no medication for DID, and its incredibly irresponsible to equate these in a crackpot Jungian-style bicameral mind theory blog post. I discovered Jung's bicameral mind shortly after becoming aware of my own dissociative disorder, and while it provided a nice distraction and piece of thought, it ultimately has nothing to do with my disorder.

My alters ARE NOT VOICES, they are not hallucinations, they do not present audibly. They are me, they are my thoughts and feelings and preferences presented in different ways from different points in my life. They present as internal thoughts and feelings the same way anyone else would think and feel internally, and we (my alter states and dissociative people) organize them as individuals because the dissociation makes that easy, but they are all me. They are my competing emotional states that arose because I was forced to hold these states inside me to survive my ongoing abuse.

If the author is reading this, DO NOT bring up Dissociative Identity Disorder with schizophrenia and then go on to refer to both as "the schizophrenic". That's frankly insulting to me, people like me, and the INTENSE trauma we went through at the hands of rapists and abusers (usually parents and family members) and your entire piece is trash just for that alone.

I wish I had enough karma here to downvote your post.

schizo-effective disorders can also be based in trauma. It sounds like you don't know much about schizophrenia if you're disturbed by the association.

The problem is you can't trust a model number of SSD. They change controllers, chips, etc after the reviews are out and they can start skimping on components.

this is even worse in automotive ECUs. this shortage is only going to make things more difficult to test and forget about securing.

I can't even convince security professionals to install Signal, let alone something that requires installing a specific client configuration that may not be identical across platforms. If it's not e2ee by default I'd rather just stick to my current social graph.

Daily standups is a form of evil micromanagement for competent devs and a bad substitute for good mentorship that junior devs need.

Ban this horrible practice and start trusting your employees more.

TheJoYo · 4 years ago
What does good daily mentorship look like?

I ask because I tried to set up daily checkins with my junior dev if only to make myself available to them.

What do I do when they just go radio silent for a week?

Incendiary statements don't add much to the conversation.

You probably like buying groceries, you're typing on a computer and you presumably at least own clothes so you don't have a problem with all corporations. One would also assume you don't want a return to feudal society in which the goods generally available to you were those produced in a 2-mile radius.

You might be reading the anti-corporate sentiment into that comment.

It seems more directed towards the public space of Twitter and Facebook where corporations have enough rope to hang themselves in the town square.

I did the account nuke a few months ago. Felt great.

The only social media accounts I still have are twitter (locked down account, never post, use it to follow a few local businesses and local public figures), HN, and Reddit.

I'm also getting pretty close to pulling the plug on Reddit, the site feels somehow even more toxic and polarized than it did years ago. Although, that's probably also partially a function of me growing up and maturing.

Using a third party app like Infinity for Reddit lets me subscribe to subreddits anonymously.

Reddit has been read-only for me since the Digg migration so I lose nothing and give nothing.

That sounds like entirely too much effort. No one will bother.

Yah, i don't expect everyone to run their own server but luckily joinmastodon.org walks anyone through the process of finding a smaller instance.

My issue with Mastodon is that it imitates Twitter a little too well. I keep finding people to block when looking for people to follow. The local and federated feeds are infested with spammers, self-righteous ideologues of all kinds, 4chan rejects, and bots. It just isn't worth the effort.
TheJoYo · 4 years ago
I suggest you find a smaller instance to join to have a more cultivated feed.

I'm the only user on my instance so everything I see is there because I subscribed to it.

My issue with mastodon is that exploring servers means creating a bunch of accounts. That's kind of annoying. I still like and use Mastodon, but there it is.
TheJoYo · 4 years ago
I don't even have a Mastodon account and I can explore servers remotely just fine.

I might misunderstand what you mean by explore.
