Being dumb is not a race.

Where I live, the heavily autistic people or other mental disorders usually move out of their parents home long before the parents die.

They get social security payments and pay rent. If they need assistance, they'll usually choose to live in condos along with other handicapped people, where services is hired as part of the rent. This can be structured in many ways. For instance as an institution owned by the municipality, as a privately owned institution, or as a self-owning institution which is becoming more popular. Regardless of the ownership, the institution or community gets paid by the government and is subject to the same laws.

Anyway, nevermind the details, the government pays for everything in the end. The point is that handicapped people are not legally incapacitated. They have the same rights as everyone else.

In severe cases, they can be financially incapacitated. Autistic people usually don't need to, but if so they will then be appointed a legal financial guardian. From experience, I can only stress that it is most beneficial to have a legal guardian that is NOT family. The reason is that handicapped people get a modest social security cheque to cover their expenses. However being disabled and all, they don't really spend a lot of money, so unfortunately family members acting as guardians find opportunities to start leeching. Disgusting, I know, but it's unfortunately what happens when they get pursuaded to let a distant cousin to run their finances..

In case you were asking about minors losing their parents, they'll be placed in foster care. Autistic or not.

I love the Streisand effect in defamation lawsuits.

I'd never have heard of that shitty company otherwise.

If most companies jump off a cliff would you do that too?

What a way to run a business.

I'm not going to rule out the possibility of something existing that we don't know of yet.

However, if we're supposed to look for anything in any way, we first need to know what we're looking for. So, what's a ghost? Is a a soul, and if so, what's a soul?

I think that's an interesting question with or without ghost.

People who believe in souls, should attempt to explain what a soul is and how they experience their existence. Is it an emergent feature of the electrons or brainwaves that can travel in other dimensions that our normal physics can't detect or something completely unknown?

People who have experiences with ghosts and souls should be investigated. How do they detect their observations? Are they somehow able to sense things that happen in other dimensions? That'd be really cool, and I still won't rule it out. The human mind can do weird stuff. For instance echo localization like bats do, seeing more colours than normal or even just perfect pitch. Stuff like that is provable and shows that our senses can be expanded by training. Perhaps we even have dormant senses like seeing magnetic fields like birds do.

So let's say some people can see ghosts but we just can't measure it currently, because we don't know how it works. We can still make an experiment where we compare the observations from these special skills and see if they align. If it turns out that the people who can see ghosts agree, then we should definitely investigate it further and find out what happens in their heads when they see ghosts. Where does the brain impulses come from? That'll teach us about the special sense, which could then prove the existence of ghosts.

I doubt their observations match up in a controlled environment. It's a shame because it would be really easy to prove the existence of ghosts.

I've read speculations about him wanting Americans to riot so he can declare an emergency, and that's why people should refrain from rioting.

However, it's pretty clear that he's going to try to stage that emergency to grab power, whether or not the Americans riot.

Maybe he should have a national emergency. A real one that prevents him from grabbing the power.

Vask i weekenden.

Nogle skovbørnehaver "forbyder" direkte forældrene at tage flyverdragterne med hjem i hverdagene. Det er vigtigere at børnene har en flyverdragt, end om den er ren. Det er jo bare vand og jord, og det kommer på dragten lige med det samme igen i øjeblikket efter de har fået den på. Det er spild af tid og ressourcer at holde dem rene.

Jeg synes det er en god løsning, at børnehaven bestemmer det, fordi det fjerner det der forældre-stigma omkring en beskidt dragt, når alle er beskidte on fredagen.

Vores (almindelige) børnehave havde et tørreskab, hvor man skulle hænge dem natten over hvis de var blevet våde. Så var de altid tørre om morgenen.

Hvis de også har brug for en flyverdragt derhjemme, så kan man købe 2, eller bruge overtrækstøjet som reserve.

I've tried Jerboa, Connect and Voyager. By now these all have the options to customize the view exactly how I want it. (Dark mode, tiny list, thumbnails on the right.) I don't care about clients that can't do that.

Jerboa was kind of buggy. Maybe it's better now, but that's what made me switch.

Connect has a lot of options. The developer is active in the Lemmy community trying to catch up with the bugs that somehow creep into every update. It has the superior text editor of these and also its own tagging system.

Voyager, previously known as Wefwef, is basic and stable. Maybe too basic.

I'm currently using Voyager, but I sometimes still use Connect when I need to quote text from the post I'm replying to while writing. For instance if I need to quote two separate paragraphs or whatever. Can't do that easily in Voyager. Also when I want to embed pictures in a reply, then Connect is ever so slightly easier. Small differences.

If I were to recommend just one for a new user who doesn't care about customization and weird options, I'd have to say Voyager, even if I myself prefer Connect. Voyager is easy to use and it's stable.

Ja det ser forkert ud. Det kunne være interessant at skrive til kandidaten og tjekke om TV2 har lavet vildledende fejl i deres test.

Det ligner et hun har givet et politikker svar. Hun står ikke inde for sit eget valg. Ellers er det en fejl.

Det mest overraskende ved mit eget resultat var at jeg åbenbart er 50% enig med den som jeg er mest uenig med, selvom jeg svarede ret ekstremt.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Denazification

Soviet zone: From the beginning, denazification in the Soviet zone was considered a critical element of the transformation into a socialist society and was quickly and effectively implemented. Members of the Nazi Party and its organizations were often brutally beaten before being arrested and interned. The NKVD was directly in charge of this process and oversaw the camps. In 1948, the camps were placed under the same administration as the gulag in the Soviet government. According to official records, 122,600 people were interned; 34,700 of those interned in this process were considered to be Soviet citizens, with the rest being German

Let's math: 122600-34700= 87900 Germans.

Former Nazi officials quickly realized that they would face fewer obstacles and investigations in the zones controlled by the Western Allies. Many of them saw a chance to defect to the West on the pretext of anti-communism. Conditions in the internment camps were terrible, and between 42,000 and 80,000 prisoners died.

Sure they never directly stated that they deliberately wanted to kill all the Nazi, but the result is still that they did kill a good chunk of them (between 50-90%) in the camps.

Problemerne er store nok

Hvilke problemer?

Immigration fra Ukraine har aldrig været et problem og det er deres flygtninge heller ikke. De arbejder og betaler skat og er taknemmelige for det.

Det eneste problem er at de stiller den danske arbejdsmoral i et dårligt lys.

I recently got fed up with spending hours making my MIDI devices work in Windows. Everytime I plugged the USB hub with my controllers into Windows, it would reassign the ports and I'd have to use the ancient Korg utility to remove dead ports. This is a really old issue that Microsoft claims was fixed ten years ago, but never was. So I decided to test if Linux can handle MIDI devices better.

It seemed to work fine on an old Mint laptop that I have around, but since I'd rather use the newer laptop and since I still need Windows on that for work, I decided to try out putting everything on a USB stick for portability. Also, the old laptop which I might use sometimes is a bit too slow for Mint, so I needed something smaller.

So, the idea is to put the OS, the DAW, the plug-ins and samples on one single stick. I happened to have a 8gb USB that I found on a parking lot. It's kinda dirty and broken, so I figured it was perfect for the experiment. Yes, I do know that flash drives aren't good for this, and when I'm done playing around, I will probably get an external SSD for this purpose instead.

8gb is not a lot for this, but I like the challenge.

At first I wasted another evening trying to make Slax boot. I gave up and found Poppy Linux instead, since I do want the tiny and persistent kind of installation. It's a bit slow to boot into ram, but it's nice and quick once at the desktop.

For a DAW I got Reaper working just fine simply by extracting the files from the official webpage. No install required.

It recognized my MIDI devices and audio interface instantly. No issues at all, no missing dependencies or drivers or whatever, and better yet: It's still works after rebooting. I made a setup of the devices to control mixer actions in Reaper and that also saves fine as expected.

Now getting plugins is a bit of an issue. It seems that most people run Wine to use VSTs, but I decided to stick with free native Linux plugins and those are somewhat more difficult to find.

So far I've found Helm for a synth and LSP for a samples. I plan on recording real instruments mostly, so I only need the essential stuff.

I was pleasantly surprised that the linux download for LSP also ships with a bunch of effect plug-ins. Highly recommended: https://lsp-plug.in/index.php

I have yet to make any music other than test tracks, but it seems that my idea works so far. The installation is completely independent of which computer I have available, so I guess I will be using Linux in one way or the other to make music going forwards.

Manually switching from all/unread seems to work and clears the read messages
