Since there is more awareness of neurodiversity, my employer was thinking about a diversity statement on website/careers page that (among other things) addresses this and maybe change the interview process a bit.

It might be just a drop in the ocean and only help a little, but I think it's a step into the right direction and I'd like to support this and encourage it.

So, #askfedi : what would actually help you (neurodivergent folks) during job interviews or at work in general? What could an employer realistically do? And what would encourage you to apply?

E.g. would a buddy help? More time/pauses? Online/(partly) written interviews? Dim lit, quiet rooms?

The passive income movement was a fantasy about not having to give a shit. This is a terrible foundation for pretty much anything.

The "Passive Income" trap ate a generation of entrepreneurs

I had coffee last year with a guy - I won't use his real name - who told me he was "building a business." I asked what it did. Dropshipping jade face rollers. I made him say it twice. Jade face rollers. He'd found them on Alibaba for $1.20

The Attack: How it works

Every time you open LinkedIn in a Chrome-based browser, LinkedIn’s JavaScript executes a silent scan of your installed browser extensions. The scan probes for thousands of specific extensions by ID, collects the results, encrypts them, and transmits them to LinkedIn’s servers. The entire process happens in the background. There is no consent dialog, no notification, no mention of it in LinkedIn’s privacy policy. This page documents exactly how the system works, with line references and code excerpts from LinkedIn’s production JavaScript bundle.

OK! Toyota is ready to fight!👍🏿

Everyone looks at the number of cars that are sold in China each year, and begins to salivate. Their eyes turn to dollar signs!🤑

Then they get in market, and realize how much quality and value you need to pack into a tiny price.🤯

It's harder than spaceflight!

You can't just sell someone a basic, mid-level car for $60,000, and then expect them to put $5 a gallon gas in it every month. That only works on Americans that don't know any better.🤡

You have to sell someone a great car that they never have to put gas in, and that only costs $18,000.
