Trying to shift over towards the Fediverse.

I dislike the concept of a single-axis, back-and-forth “spectrum” such as your 12% would imply, but more of a multidimensional conglomerate of myriad spectra (plural), where e.g. spoken language when not overstimulated is one, spoken language ability WHEN overstimulated is another, social interactions when not oversocial-ed is one axis, social interaction ability while oversocial-ed is another, tactile sensory is one axis, smell/olfactory sensory is another, visual sensory is another, etc.
Because that’s the reality, is that it’s a mish-mash of several interconnected axes and spectra, that tend to go off the rails a bit faster / more easily than NT / allists seem to go off the rails and break down
What does this even mean?? I’m trying to read through the Comments to make sense of it and see if somebody’s given a “translation” of what it’s trying to say … 1% more person isn’t allowed to talk too much? Original autie is sensitive to the chatter so dislikes being talked at?
I’m trying to follow, but I’m missing something crucial to the interpretation of whatever this means
"You Don't Speak For Me" West Newbury cartoon by Brian Wheeler
Found after seeing #198 Misidentification (dated Dec 4, 2020) [https://www.webtoons.com/en/canvas/west-newbury/misidentification/viewer?title_no=274439&episode_no=199] shared from a trans group and looking through the West Newbury cartoons across WebToon and Insta
Relevant/important watch for everyone who’s not already familiar: youtu.be/AHX6tHdQGiQ “Ink Cartridges Are A Scam”
He talks about basically the computer coding “bricking” the system if you try to do anything other than spend more money on their racketeering; their “razor and blade cartridges” profit model of selling the one item for cheap then price-gouging the fuck out of a required component to keep it working
So how many years of service is that, that it has been going alright and not giving you issues??
And are you US-based, and with which provider?
It looks like it was released it like 2015… en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fairphone_2
As I have learned more about the Fediverse, and begun exploring all its depths, I have similarly thought about that paradox between, as @[email protected] mentioned,
just the internet as it was designed to be. A network, not a broadcasting medium. A place for connecting people
versus the fragmentation we’re all seeing
It sucks, but as I see it it’s just kinda like the “growing pains” as we shift towards Web 3.0 and Decentralization, away from corporate overlords, figuring it all out communally, the balance between ourselves being monetized like the whole “If something is free, you are the product.” line gets at
Fairphone 5 - release date and US support??
Ever since I learned about the Fairphone [https://www.fairphone.com/en/], I keep trying to figure out when they’ll release the Fairphone 5. Further, I keep wondering whether it’ll be usable easily and realistically by Verizon [https://www.verizon.com/support/devices/], since there’s some complications with Fairphone being based in the Netherlands, but I believe generally supported across Europe since so much of their website is in English. Just about anything I find over on Reddit [https://www.reddit.com/r/fairphone/comments/11nx0vn/fairphone_5_release_date_29_september_2023/] seems to be outdated, speculating and guessing, or otherwise unreliable. Anybody know many details about when it might come out, and whether it’ll be supported here in the US??
“Growing pains”
It’s to be expected in this transitional time and period away from corporate social media, towards federated. It sucks, but it’s really not the end of the world. Cool your jets, salty
