Even if you have tinnitus, wear hearing protection for sure. Unfortunately, I have a connective tissue disorder, which is the cause of the tinnitus and the cause of my hearing loss…

What you can do, with some extra steps, is have Home Assistant installed (and have a Home Assistant server, I guess!) on the phone and use a smart power switch that's also associat…

It's been a while, but at a previous job (maybe 8 years ago) I was responsible for managing mobile devices and using Blackberry's MDM suite, you could have segregation of personal …

I think the reasoning behind this is that ideally you're at the location where you can confirm what you see, instead of maybe referring to older media or from memory. That being sa…

I do watch how much I'm consuming the news as it does impact my day, but part of the problem is that when I eventually go to look at news online, I'm immediately confronted with 8+…

Absolutely, yeah. I use that when data is limited, but haven't come back to it in a while. Thanks for reminding me!

Same! To the point that when I'm home I'm usually playing outdoor ambient noise mimicking that. https://moodist.mvze.net/

I'm willing to be wrong, but it's specifically mentioned as an analogy for abuse in the article itself. Not trying to turn everything "woke", but phrasing of scenarios around this …

I think we need to be a bit more careful and considerate around the use of language around physical abuse, or abuse in general, and using software. Saying that here as someone that…

I notice the delay, but I try to check myself with it. Not everything has to be instant gratification. We're ruining our brains.

Yeah, I can confirm seeing that a fair bit specifically during non-verbal parts of videos when someone is using a tool.

Yup! I have significant hearing loss to the point that I'm useless without hearing aids. I'm going to take this idea for my partner to use to get my attention if needed. Having it …

I can't help, but get generated vibes from the photos of the team. It just might be the focus of the camera, alongside my lack of trust for any images I see online these days!

Acclimitisation can be hard. In some cases I can put things to the back of my mine, but often it's just hard or not possible. Certainly in my experience and from talking to others …

I'm not a professional, and I'm not diagnosing, but I am diagnosed autistic and I share some of what you're talking about here. I'm sensitive to noise, smells, lights and vibration…

You're right -- I totally misread what you said. Sorry! I think tattoo does imply more of a permanence and familiarity in regards to the relationship someone would have with a tatt…

I see where you're coming from, but a prosthetic arm is someone's arm. Mentally it very quickly can become something you identify with, like a prosthetic arm basically being YOUR a…

I second this. It's great!

I'm yet to look at your project, but I can't say Comtrya without thinking about Stargate, so I'm kinda sold already.

Speaking as someone who is autistic and has significant hearing loss, open offices are a form of torture. It might sound like hyperbole, but I promise it's not! I enjoy working in …

Scott Hanselman released a video[1] not too long ago that covers reviving a Zune in 2023, if that's of any use! [1] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m-ZPx-h5ApU

Very relatable. Have always been able to do this. I have quite significant hearing loss these days, which has been tied back to having Ehlers Danlos Syndrome, relating to connectiv…

Women tend to not be diagnosed as much as men either, mainly as they're forced to mask more throughout life -- I don't think we'll ever get an accurate representation there, unfort…

Would painting black present potential heat absorption/dissipation issues?

I discovered the same as well, highly recommend turning off the camera.
