Omg, this is the best early-morning laugh that I've had in a long time. Mac-nerd, here. From childhood. Also a Linux nerd for servers. This is so great that I immediately sent it to friends in tech. I'm still laughing like a nut.

Can we stop throwing around "autistic" for anything? Have people actually ever met autistic kids? It has nothing to do about having uncommon interest, it imply much more things than that.

Autism is a spectrum. Some autistic people are able to function somewhat normally while others might need help all their life. The term is certainly over used but it's possible to meet someone autistic without ever knowing it.

I played education games on a Apple II in 1998; I was in the first grade.

Was taught using Apple2 then Macs in Jr High.

I built my own PC in high school (late 90s), upgraded it through college, then switched back to Mac’s when they went Intel.

I can’t muddle through Ruby, Python, Perl, Php C/C++, Objective-C and Swift. But wrote Actionscript, JS, and HTML/CSS for a living for 15 years.

How you start doesn’t matter and Mac’s are still better than Chromebooks. They have Unix shells FFS.

Is Dragon 32 a Mac or Windows computer?

[–] kibiz0r@midwest.social 11 points 6 days ago (8 children)

Can confirm. Started on a Mac. Was using terminal, hex editor, resource forks, and squirrel basic to modify my Catz installation before I was 10. Windows peers seemed to think computers were made of rainbows and unicorns

I started on Mac and installed Linux on a PS3 just to see if I could, where does that put me on the spectrum
