Just another redditfugee. Maybe I'll infodump a little more about me later... depends on how things develop here.

  • Alexithymia is very common among people with autism

    Jump

  • Shows that those psych-whatever-ists knew drat about the (ancient) greek language, because 'word' would be 'logos' and 'alexi' is actually a greek surname of ancient decent, that would mean 'defender'. The ancient greeks would never have named the condition that way! My impression is that various Freudians and Anti-Freudians converged on the term in the early-mid-20th century as a means to make themselves sound smarter than any of them really were.

    Source: As someone named Alexander, I just finally felt vaguely offended enough by the term to start digging a little deeper:

    https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7005782/

    And also, nothing about the condition as described by modern sources ever made any sense to me - which after reading the article I linked, wasn't even a surprise to me anymore. Sorry, rant over.

    TL,DR: It's another piece of etymologic fallout from a historic shitslinging match between researchers and practitioners, but one that didn't get resolved conclusively. Because brains ...

  • Welcome our new mod, Agamemnon

  • Hi. Thanks for the welcoming.

    I'll be mostly hanging back, though. Only acting on reports and illegal content attacks. It's an emergency lifeline that is good to have set up before an emergency happens.

  • What quote from a movie is instabtly recognisable?

    Jump

  • "Yippee-Ki-Yay, Motherfucker!"

  • For those of use that found out we were autistic as adults, how did you find out? What caused you to consider that you were autistic? What confirmed it?

    Jump

  • Long story that played out over months... Went to the doctors with depressive episode. Got diagnosed burnout. But from what??? So... I dug into researching psychology. Turns out, I inherited the family 'tism and could trace anecdotal evidence back 4 generations. Nobody ever bothered to investigate before. Presented my findings to my therapist and her reaction after listening to it all was (paraphrasing) "You didn't KNOW?".

    So, yeah... No 'officially on paper' official diagnosis yet. I don't plan on getting one, because it turns out, the main cause of my problems isn't Autism, it's ADHD on top (that one got official a few months later), but now I am doing better with that under control and unlearning all the masking I did.

  • You can be banned from lemmy.blahaj.zone for calling out transphobia

    Jump

  • Be advised: I recognize this person joining and speedrunning Ban% in safespaces for several months now. This is at least my 4th sighting of them. They will antagonize the userbase in record time by blatant disregard of netiquette and basic human decency. They will cite any of their vast repertoire of mental conditions or minority membership cards as justification when called out on bad behavior - whatever is convenient at the time. Conversation to them is a game that must be won at all cost and people with even slightly differing opinions are seen as enemies that need to be defeated (and also humiliated) Their strategy is generally to single out one member and harass them with wall of text posts.

    Do not engage. Do not educate - dozens have tried and failed. Just identify the pattern and ban permanently, before they can do any lasting damage to your community.

  • Hackers are Attacking Observatories

    Jump

  • That is identical to my observations from a data science perspective.

  • Hackers are Attacking Observatories

    Jump

  • Yes! Agreed! Earthbound observatories in second line are in a constant struggle of acquiring proper funding. Which means, that they are operated by people with passion - for the science. The unfortunate side effect is, that everything that isn't operations and academia takes second place again. Employing someone dedicated to just cybersecurity isn't perceived as a priority - after all, 'why would anyone hack an observatory?'

    That is the kind of fallacy that can only be avoided if you already had an expert in house, unfortunately. I have been working with researchers, too, and I got the general impression that the appreciation for and crossover of ideas between departments has a lot of room for improvement. So that could also be a factor.

  • Hackers are Attacking Observatories

    Jump

  • Ngl... the press release and article reeks like their IT department was a shitshow to begin with and the only method they could think of defending was to rip out ALL the cables.

    I bet it wasn't even a targeted attack, but they have to frame it that way to save face.

  • Legendary feeling of Catharsis: Definitely worth it.

    I just hope he got all the papers he needed before that and a new job in the bag, because doing this without either of these conditions fulfilled can haunt you later.

    But I am pretty sure he did.

  • We Might Have Accidentally Killed the Only Life We Ever Found on Mars Nearly 50 Years Ago

    Jump

  • I do agree with the conclusion. - A new mission dedicated to answering the question of life on Mars is warranted. Earthbound discoveries of extremophile microbial life in the past decades have broadened our definition of life-enabling environmental conditions and discoveries of new classes of only intermittently alive cells/spores have broadened our definition of life itself.

    Plus, apart from satisfying our curiosity, we will very likely get some insights into our own biochemistry along the way.
