Poll: OS Statistics
Poll: OS Statistics Hi,I've been attempting to figure out development environments, and specifically if it is worth it to have cross-platform support at the expense of all the problems that offers. To this end, I've made this poll to gauge the average usage of different platforms in this community.If you use multiple operating systems, pick the one you use the most. If your platform does not fall into the poll's parameters (chrome OS? other esoteric things) please post to the topic.Thanks.

Re: questions about Spotify
Re: questions about Spotify One thing that people may be unaware of is the fact that things like right clicking and contextual menus and etc. Open a list of options at the bottom of the window. So if it feels like right clicking isn't doing anything, try scrolling to the bottom and check if there are any new options.

Re: Disability versus ability
Re: Disability versus ability Yeah, I don't think this works if it's something that's enforced, and I'm very much not advocating for that. What I'm advocating for is...I guess...teaching people the categories-being-modifiers rather than categories-being-definitions distinction, which perhaps is a bit of a tall order for a syntactic change, heh.But...there seem to be a bunch of adjectives which drag a whole social context behind them, and there are some that don't. tall/short/etc. would be something I put in the second category. Blindness on the other hand (among other things) seems to be something that a lot of people react to in predictable ways. And maybe it would be useful to emphasize blindness being a significant but not all-encompassing thing. Then again, maybe not.

Re: Disability versus ability
Re: Disability versus ability I don't necessarily disagree with "person who's x" as compared to "the x person" distinction, and I think I'm even mildly in favor with the first formulation.For me, it's about facets vs. identities. Thinking of someone as "an x person" generally (not contextually, I'll get to that in a bit) where x is a category seems to define their identity solely in reference to the category itself, whereas "a person who's x" defines the person to be an object to whom the category's facets get assigned, but (importantly) the object is not just the category-they may fall into other categories (musician, coder, husband, so on and so fourth) which modify them in other ways.Now, in specific contexts such as disability services, I don't think this is that important. A widow in a funereal context would not be aided by being called "someone who's husband is dead", and similarly in disability services (where the focus is specifically on the disability) I don't necessarily see the value of the first formulation. But I like it for keeping my thoughts appropriately boundaried, if nothing else.

Re: Any tips for dealing with lonelyness?
Re: Any tips for dealing with lonelyness? Epistemic status: based on personal experience, specific to highschool-like environments; probably mostly wrong.Some points that might help.1. I've heard it said that people like talking about themselves, and while that's not true in the vast majority of the cases, it is certainly true enough. Try to figure out how to let people open up. Let, specifically, not make-you want to balance encouraging someone to talk and listening to them. The goal is building trust, so you'll have to talk about yourself, too, but be careful of context. You shouldn't go off-topic enough for the other person not to sympathize, at least until you're good friends. This takes a while though, and the next point helps facilitate the process.2. You've talked about how people don't use linux/play pokemon/listen to video game music, etc, which makes it hard to talk about things. But this is same from the other person's prospective. You don't watch movies or listen to pop music or follow the most recent instagram memes, so they don't have anything to talk about with you either. And yes, this is a catch-22, but when other people realize they do not share your interests, they have the choice of talking to many, many other people that do. You do not have this luxury. As such, it is useful to have at least a passing knowledge of the general interests that other people share, just so you have something to talk about. Not necessarily random memes and things, but music and movies and shows and so on are useful for small talk. And you want to do small talk because that eventually leads to better familiarity. It's the shared interests thing; eventually you can introduce people to what you actually like and they can do the same, but popular things are good as a starting point to scope out each other.3. This might be a little more contentious, but...you want to figure out how to change your initial assessment for the people who don't know you. I did this by being really good at academics. You can do it by being good at anything that's normal-adjacent. Helps if it's a performance-like activity, but it doesn't have to be; the goal is to be known as "Stasp who's a really good and also blind" rather than "Stasp, the blind person". Should this matter? no. Does it? yes.To explicitly state: this will not get you close friendships. I think it's really hard to do close friendships in high school, specifically with the kinds of interests you have, because people like sticking to their own groups and there isn't really a linux-using, pokemon-playing group for instance. But what this does let you is figure out how to interact with a lot of people at least to a rudimentary degree, and if you do that with enough people you'll find one or two people who you can relate to.

Re: melodyne studio. is it free?
Re: melodyne studio. is it free? @3hereis Melodyne Studio, andhereis the page on the Addon you need to use with the software. I haven't linked the direct addon because there are some useful notes about the software on the page.@13I typed "is melodyne studio free" into google and found the following trial help pageas the first result, which had the link to download the software. Being unsure about the accessibility, I typed "melodyne accessibility" into google and the first two links lead me to the forum related to the nvda addon as well as the wiki page mentioned above.When people say 'just google it', they are in effect asking you to do at least *some* work. I'd like to extend the benefit of the doubt to everyone, that they have already spent significant time on solving their problem on their own before posting on the forum (the solution to the problem, in most cases, literally being writing the title of the forum topic into google and then looking at the first page that pops up) but usually, I cannot.Equating simple questions like this to asking for accessibility guidance doesn't seem right. In that case, you're asking for information that only a few people have; in this specific case, the information that was asked for was publicly and *easily* available. In the accessibility case, the response to "just google it" would not be "you're all unhelpful jerks"; it would be "I googled it and I found nothing."Is "just google it" used as a rhetorical device by people who think they're smart to just ignore the question and show their superiority? yes, probably. Have I seen it used liked that here? in most cases, no, not really.

Re: Any Red Dwarf fans out there? Way back when, I listened to the decktalk transcribing of red dwarf. It was...interesting.Haven't read the books. They're probably not as interesting as the show, though that's up for debate. Personally I don't really think shows can be turned into books without losing something and vice versa, but haven't read the books so maybe i'm wrong.
