I'm reminded of something that Binding of Isaac does that I wish more games would do: If you're anywhere in the main menu (even drilled into it), if you just mash the B button/Esc key, it will keep backing out, up to and including exiting the game if you press it on the main menu. I hate games that make me click 3 times and say "are you sure??" when I just want to quit the dang program.
I have heard that autism is a sufficient reason to be denied immigration to some countries, but I haven't looked up the details myself.
EDIT: Internet says Australia, New Zealand, and Canada are among them. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Discrimination_against_autistic_people#Immigration
You can get anywhere in the city on a bus! ...in about 2 hours, with a half-hour transition from the east-west bus to the north-south bus in the middle.
There's glass everywhere. In a few places, there's street sweeping, but mostly not. So unless you want to go vacuum/sweep up every bike lane you use (which I've seriously considered), bike tires really don't last very long.
I use it for all the reasons you've mentioned. I especially write down recommendations, ideas, thoughts that felt worth noticing, anything I think I'm going to forget that doesn't go on my calendar or somewhere else, and braindumping/processing my feelings.
I use an app called Logseq, because it combines the things I wanted from some of the other main apps in one place, which none of the other apps manage to do all of:
Logseq does have a moderate amount of rough edges, and has been frustrating from an open source perspective at times (I've had PRs linger for over a year before just getting rejected because they didn't want to bother with it), but it's still the one I like the most.
FYI though syncing between devices with it is still pretty shaky. They have a native sync for $5/mo that is getting reasonably good, and is in beta. Syncing files via other means is kinda risky/not-great UX.
But with more walls around the garden

This shit keeps radicalizing me about the internet more and more. Ughh.
I mean, Google does index and cache most webpages internally already. So yeah, maybe. But after reading the article it doesn't sound like they're doing that.
We see the “cloud” as some bulletproof storage but long term it’s up in the air really.
A+ pun, intended or not
I even found an old diary entry of mine today that linked to one of my own facebook posts, and that link had already rotted. Ugh.
Hm. I wonder if you could write a browser extension to just kill gifs in their tracks and only show the first frame without hover or whatever. Maybe. Didn't find a solution after a cursory look (only malware called Gif Jam) but this certainly seems possible in principle...
Someone on StackOverflow found a thing that accomplished it; maybe this can be converted into a userscript. If this would be really valuable to you, and you aren't up for doing it yourself, let me know — I might make this just for fun. https://stackoverflow.com/questions/5818003/stop-a-gif-animation-onload-on-mouseover-start-the-activation
EDIT: I made one. Weirdly it works on all sites except beehaw, though, and it just breaks gifs on beehaw. Probably some content security policy on beehaw preventing the images from loading for the JS? https://gist.github.com/phoenixeliot/45f0c6a04fffd84998ac8bc526c901fe
But it does successfully replace gifs with broken images, so maybe still net positive for people for whom gifs are a health hazard?
Some parts that can be configured:
Which sites it applies to:
// @match https://beehaw.org/*
// @match https://*
How to select which elements are considered gifs:
var gifElements = document.querySelectorAll(
'img[src$="gif"], img[alt*=animated]'
);
My guess: People who can be as competent with security as they need are very expensive.
