Microsoft FINALLY releases Windows 11 ISOs for Arm64-based PCs — but there's a catch

Windows 11 ISOs for PCs with an Arm64 processor are now officially available, but older Snapdragon laptops will need to jump through additional hoops to get them working.

Windows Central

I saw this on @scalzi ‘s Whatever blog, and was intrigued enough to buy a copy.

The fact alone that every recipe tells you whether you can freeze or can it (I never thought of canning full meals??) makes it invaluable to everyone.

The specific advice on how to accommodate different disabilities, and the history of colonization of some of the foods, is also pretty awesome.

Highly recommend this new cookbook by @geekyjules !

Hello genealogy people of mastodon. I’m here to chat all things genealogy related - my background is mainly Scottish/uk records but also European, immigration/emigration. Just finished MSc at Strathclyde uni.

@Richard_Littler @actuallyautistic my low gain hearing aids for #AuditoryProcessingDisorder have been a metaphorical godsend for this. I get way less overloaded/over stimulated since I got them.

Blue light blocking glasses work similarly for me in those awful fluorescent lighting scenarios, though somewhat less effectively, but much cheaper

@Havoc_online @actuallyautistic @ashleyspencer Would this be someone you would like to invite to your Discord server?
@ashleyspencer Congrats!!!!!
@theautisticcoach @actuallyautistic @actuallyautistics If you do another AuDHD group and I have the spare cash I’ll be happy to sign up.

for me (from observing my #ActuallyAutistic #AuDHD self and my various ND friends and family)

#Autism is #ADHD plus:

* low awareness/control/respect of nonverbal social/emotional/timing signals (incoming and outgoing)

* emphasis on rational/logical explanations for events and behaviors over emotional/social explanations

* avoid eye contact, retreat from social encounters during stress

* high empathy, concerned about fairness and diversity vs arbitrary rules esp. around social hierarchy and manners

* difficulty telling lies or going along with unfair/imperfect directions

* inclined to follow rules (as long as they're fair and clear), difficulty recognizing sarcasm

* sensory sensitivity (sometimes / specific stimuli)

Both have:

* impulsiveness, distraction, low boredom tolerance

* hyperfocus

* sensory processing delay (sometimes)

* creativity and lateral thinking

* comorbid anxiety and depression and sleep problems

The relatively new term #Monotropism is probably a real thing and embraces both.

One of the things that made Twitter so powerful was its ability to amplify calls for grassroots activism— it's time to see if Mastodon can deliver the goods, too: if you want to help send the message that fascists should not be given a national platform to spew their hateful rhetoric: open Apple News (or your Android equivalent) and block the *CNN Politics* channel
