We're slowly progressing. The days of copying the USA's homework are behind us. We're somewhere in the middle now.

Poor eye contact and abnormal postures have their own categories? I've always lumped them together as "poor body control"

I have a Surface Pro 9 and it runs like a charm. I would recommend it even if it is a little pricey

Direct to Consumer, I think?

I heard this for years while the show was running. I refused to watch the show as well. I decided to start watching it recently.

It turns out that what people were referring to when they likened me to Sheldon was my autistic traits. Sheldon incorporates a lot of specific autistic traits in his character and I am autistic. The funny thing is, one of the people that was constantly comparing me to Sheldon was a good friend of mine who was also autistic but I guess she is somewhere else on the spectrum which is why it was easier for her to associate me with Sheldon than herself.

I guess my point is to tell you that sometimes people make uneducated guesses and comparisons that may end up seeming funny when you realize why they made them. Watch the show. Laugh at them for comparing you to an exaggerated TV persona because you were different from what they expect the average person to be.

I am genetically blessed with a chronic form of histamine allergies that keep my sinuses blocked. On bad days, I have to heat water, then let it cool, and then add a specific salt then use a medical pump to pump them all the way through my nostrils until they reach the back of my throat to make sure the canals are open. Doctor's orders and all. I assure you, we are not doing this for fun.

It is happening to me too on my surface tablet. Do you have TLP installed? Just out of curiosity

[-] Hector@lemmy.ca 5 points 6 months ago

I have had it installed for a while and I check it after every update. I can't use it yet as my daily driver because of scaling issues. The desktop scales properly but windows do not. Fonts are too small and the cursor is tiny. I figured out how to scale the cursor manually but I couldnt scale the windows.

There is also Niri, a compositor that is inspired by PaperWM

I have a Microsoft Surface tablet and Fedora with GNOME works pretty well on it. I usually use a stylus or the magnetic keyboard with it but when I do use the touch screen I dont encounter issues. I use PaperWM on top of GNOME and it makes it all so easy to use.
