Docker + Immich + Tailscale is the killer replacement to Google & Apple Photos, it's simply that simple

That sounds like a good thing, no? People able to hold jobs at their full potential is good for them, good for their families and good for people who would had to be their helpers/caregivers otherwise.

It is! It's why we advocate for a broader umbrella of dx for ASD.

There are kids who are are independant and almost functionally neurotypical, they probably don't even need "helpers", but still need assistance that they wouldn't get if they didn't get a dx under the "old" definitions

Treat and "mask symptoms so I can hold a job at my full potential" are different things. And even if ASD isn't a whole bunch of other things are.

That's what I mean by "impacts of" :)

People want pills and because you can't just get pills for symptoms cheaply the industry has responded to demand and diagnosed everyone.

It's like a cross between everyone at a bank being a VP and your doctor being a bro and prescribing you viagra for blood pressure so insurance picks up the tab.

ASD isn't treatable with medication. Its impacts can, but Autism itself is largely pharmalogically untreatable

NYTimes had a podcast today about how the autism category—which used to mean something closer to nonverbal or mentally disabled—had broadened and includes a lot more people now but with symptoms that aren’t at the same severity.

I feel like that’s true for a lot of these categories. I feel like severity of illness is really important when talking about mental disorders since the spectrum is so wide.

You're right.

It's now ASD or "Autism Spectrum Disorder" and it much better describes the broad range of impacts the disability can have because it really is a spectrum; all the way from non-verbal to the mild, but real impact it has on social development, communication and interactions and putting a label on it means access to help

Could it be? Could 2026 be the year of linux on the desktop?

They're discontinuing the Facebook Like button on third-party sites. That's pretty wild! The Like button used to be Facebook's major initiative back in 2010. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Facebook_like_button

Media sites in particular used to try to drive people to click the Like button, causing their articles to appear prominently on Facebook. And since it was an <iframe> running on every site, Facebook would automatically know what articles you viewed, data that they could use to target ads to you.

How/why did that die out, I wonder?

My guess? implicit behaviours are always more valuable than explicit behaviours, so when implicit engagement became the metric and measurable, Facebook didn't need people to deliberately engage with content to determine its value

Also..

* In that time we moved from desktop to mobile; clicking that tiny button was difficult on mobile and they couldn't replace it with a comparable mechanic

* Changes to third-party cookie and XHR rules in browsers made the data less reliable

"Front Door" has to be the worst product name for a CDN I've ever heard of. I used to work for a CDN too.

We should've never let marketing in the door honestly, all of the product names for the big three are awful.

Microsoft CDN

There, that's it. You're selling it to (hopefully) technical people
