I have seen her name but I don't know what she is well known for. My condolences, it is always sad when people pass away much too early.

Sounds like your message implied that being autistic meant being an asshole, which categorically isn't true. You can be accused of being an asshole, it doesn't mean it's because of your autism though - and going "autistic = asshole" is absolutely worthy of a ban. Maybe don't be so quick to portray your own experiences onto autistic people as whole. If you wanted more specifics about what Kris meant by "don't be an as…
I think you may have misunderstood. (See sibling comments in this thread.)

That is exactly my position, thank you for articulating it so eloquently.
You might want to update your original comment to clarify. It seems to be getting downvoted by people who misunderstanding the comment.
Unfortunately I cannot edit it, but downvotes are ok.
as others have mentioned, this topic is probably not a worthwhile one to bring up as the focus is on mourning one of our own.

#64Flip. I am actually gutted, at the moment. We have never crossed paths but I remember watching her ECHO episode with Liz Rice a few days ago. Listened to her on Hanslemann's podcast too. Seemed like such a great soul
Re: Kris Nóva has died
#65Kris was a talented engineer and an amazing person. She was doing something that she loved.
Kris recently said how she was feeling the healthiest and happiest she had ever been.
The loss is gutting to those that know her, or only know of her.
For those that don't know, Kris created Hachyderm[1], which had incredible growth[2] after Elon Musk's Twitter takeover. She also created the Aurae runtime[3], and went on to create the Nivenly Foundation[4].
In Kris' own words,
"Fuck the internet, I'm gonna go climb mountains. If you can - if you're lucky enough - please also get outside, if you can."
If you can, take a break. Get outside, and just... take a moment to just /be/ outside.
RIP Kris [1] https://hachyderm.io/

Re: Kris Nóva has died
#68I had only begun following her and her work since the creation of Hachyderm, and so sad to hear about this.

I understood it fine, but thanks for the assumption.
It was put across in an asshole way, and bringing it up when it has no relevance to commiserating the loss of a great person and engineer, is an asshole move - autistic or not.
