Heyooo, I'm Tove! I'm an old computer poker with more interests than time (autistic and probably ADHD). Some of the more recurring ones are software dev, microelectronics, whittling, knitting/crochet, reading, political science/anthropology/sociology/history/etcetc and games.

I am terrible at social interactions and seems to have developed social anxiety in the decade or so of really bad mental health I'm just about crawling out of. Initiating contact with others is very hard for me, so might not do it often. Also, I will probably come to the conclusion that reaching out to someone makes me a bother or annoying or just too weird, so for their sake I refrain, usually.

But will absolutely try to engage if others take the initiative! (Probably badly. Fair warning.) Initiate contact and you'll probably become my favourite person!

Keep being the awesomeness that you are! <3

Checked the chapter names of one of the many books on my tbr-list, and apparently you lot are in here! ​
This is what it's called, right?

(Not sure about the source, I got it from this:

Tonight's little project, hopefully it'll help me relax some, I really need that.
OK, how is it that, despite first coming out and transitioning over 12 years ago this is the first piece of flannel clothing I own, in my life?!?! Like it was a childhood dream of mine to be a lesbian! (there may have been signs of transness in my youth. subtle ones) (and yes, I am a little embarrassed admitting that :P) It's actually shameful..

Seeing as I've been moving away from the overcompensating femininity in the past few years (finally! took me a while to get over that phase and also move away from the binary, probably because of all my mental health issues and isolation..) I should stock up my wardrobe with more flannel over the next few months! It's kinda like septum piercings or short skirts, everyone looks hotter in it.
Here, a comfort prize for not getting to see the xmas tree: a sexy, sexy beast of a keyboard. I know the reviews said it could be used as a weapon, weighing in on almost 2.4kg, but damn. Also, first time I'm trying linear switches and first impression.. Amazing. Feels just.. amazing typing! And the sound is perfect! Turns out the load clicketyclickety gets old pretty quick.. ​ But this has a very subtle thonk to it, much like.

Also. åäöåäöåäöåäö
Was gonna try to get into some Xmas spirit here, but it seems I have to play "what's the resistance" for a bit first.. :/ (being a little colourblind makes those coloured bands more or less useless for me..)
This can't be a very good way of teaching can it?? First thing in this chapter you get to pair 6 words/expressions with 6 pictures. Only, these words aren't even introduced until later in this chapter?? (Also, notice how no 4 is "friends", which match two pictures and you can only figure out which one by looking ahead at no 6, "Chinese friends"...)

There was a similar thing in the workbook tests for the previous chapter. You were supposed to answer a few relatively simple questions, but the questions contained words the books haven't covered yet, and there were no information on what they meant.

I mean.. this isn't a me-thing, right? This is a terrible way of teaching, yeah?
Anyone have any idea how to fix this, btw? Pretty sure at least one is some kind of icon/picture (nicotine+), while the other probably is that. (fcitx5)

It's.. a little annoying, but I don't even know where to look?
Anyone have any idea what's going inside my "slightly used" display? (Bought it in '13 I think it was)

At first I thought it was rust, but it looks more like some kind of residue? I am particularly interested in the opinion of someone who knows more than me (most of you? :P) regarding the first photo, the backside of the power connector (it's glitchy, or it was, now it just doesn't work)
