I was a boost user for reddit, and when it finalized for Lemmy I had to "launch the rocket" 🚀 (get it again) I loved it over there and it is getting awesome here, as for privacy, I honestly don't know, and I know that is probably the worst thing I could say here. I was so angry with reddit about the greed and all it just felt right to keep supporting boost. I am rather noob to the privacy concerns and I am learning.

I am curious, I know this is an old post, but did you ever find anything that fit the bill? I have been looking for something similar as well and have zero programming skills to make my own (with blackjack)

Cyndi Lauper, no matter how bad it got for me when I was little, and it got really bad. I could count on her to be "right there waiting, time after time" and to see my "true colors" I know that sounds stupid, but I would get my tape and my walkman, go and hide in the dog house with Tramp, he would sleep next to me, and Cyndi would sing to me and I would sing with her, and it was okay for a few minutes, I was safe. Nothing existed but Cyndi's voice and the warmth of Tramp's body, it was almost like it could be okay.

So Cyndi Lauper, she was always inspiration to keep going, it could be okay if I could hear her voice.

Don't know if anyone cares, I am on the onion site, it is slow (and that may be at my end) but working.

I know the bad parts, but there are good things too. I am not opposed to Google, I use a lot of their services, and they are so ubiquitous that is near impossible to not use something they are connected to if you know it or not.

I find a lot of the apps and services very useful and if I find a useful alternative I will try it, but for now I am happy.

What it sounds like is they may survive my clumsy ass lol

Edit: I will look into the different tips I always have trouble keeping them in place, so I am sure I will need something

I had a pair of Jabra elite, and they got destroyed, so I have been without, I was guessing they would be similar, but change can be hard so I was looking for some ideas on what to expect, but now that you mention it you never know what she has found and called it Samsung, so knowing about the others is not such a bad idea.

No specific concerns, I like what you shared, I am looking for some general takes. I appreciate what you know about the noise cancelling.

I will remember to do what I can to preserve the battery but not expect miracles.

That is great, I often worry that these names are just that only a name. Glad to hear there may be some real engineering here.

Samsung Buds? (lemmy.world)
submitted 10 months ago by AkaBobHoward@lemmy.world to c/autism@lemmy.world

I think my mom is getting me Samsung Buds for Christmas, I have no ability to change this in anyway, however I am also not sure of this.

I am wondering if any of you have any experience with them, and if you would mind sharing what they are like with me?

[-] AkaBobHoward@lemmy.world 4 points 10 months ago

Yes, I was excited similar to the person you described, but I wasn't in a position to act it out at the time. I still felt it though!

I am very glad because I felt like I brought joy to your life.

And I will I have a bookmark placed on your comment so I can get back to it. If I come up with questions I will put it in a reply here so you will get a notification.

If you're not hurting anyone with what you do (at least not intentionally and when you realze you do, you stop),

I am sure you have heard this, and it has been misattributed so many times I am not sure who to credit but: "The right to swing your fist ends at my nose."

That was always the struggle for me, that part of my brain was never there I had to learn to fake having it so I could "fit in" and not get beat up, or worse (but there was still worse) but that act is exhausting. I don't want to have to act anymore, at all, but if I don't not even my mom wants anything to do with me.

Noticing a pattern. (lemmy.world)
submitted 10 months ago by AkaBobHoward@lemmy.world to c/autism@lemmy.world

First, I am a late diagnosis, so if some of my terminology is offensive please tell me, assimilation is hard.

On the the point, I have been noticing a pattern, I am in a number of allistic or mixed groups, online or in meetup type spaces. I am trying to expand my social circle, and I have nearly always been alone.

Is it typical amongst nurotypical people to respond to a question with need for information questions and then, when they realize that (and I don't know which) they're not interested or they can't help they just move on, not explain that they can't help or aren't interested?
