Does anyone have any resources for managing neurodiverse people at work? I have an autistic+ADHD pal who needs support and adjustments made in how they work (e.g. better ways of tracking hours, trouble with being interrupted during a task, looming existential dread at unplanned meetings and most of all difficulty articulating needs) and it would be great to send them something they can show their manager.

Train OH: (from a stereotypical looking "lad" to some very "lad"ish friends) "and yeah so Brighton is great cos you've got like everyone coexisting, like you're out on the town right and there's everyone out, trans people, everyone, and it's like no big deal" (to which another "lad" replied) "yeah man like it should be, it's chill" Tiny bit of faith restored in UK society

In conversation w a friend, she was surprised when I said we won't have electricity after social collapse. She asked "why? What happens to electricity?" I had to then explain that infrastructure needs people to maintain and if things fall apart, nobody will keep the generators going or the wires in check. She seemed surprised by this. Is this why people don't seem worried about what's coming? They have no idea??? I was trying to hide my shock that I had to explain this to someone who isn't a child. I think I take too much for granted and assume too much of people's ability to be logical. Now her obsession with social issues at the expense of #ClimateCrisis makes sense. I was always wondering how someone on the left would not care about collapse. I have tried to explain before that as much as I share her concerns about the many dire issues that do need dealing with, none of it matters if climate change causes collapse. Then we won't have social housing, or equity, or any of the other things she cares about. (she was even part of a group that protested demanding "affordable gas") Her look of shock finally helped me realize that she has absolutely no idea what #ClimateCollapse means. No idea. I've been arguing with her all these years and she's had no idea. I don't even know what to say. There's no way she's the only one. Lots of well intentioned people say "yes climate is important but....". I am here to tell you that none of those other issues will even exist in the face of climate and social collapse. I don't know if the average person can even image the number of deaths that we are facing when the society we built loses electricity.

The longer I spend in the software industry the more I think that the primacy of "don't repeat yourself," in all its many forms and scales, is a tragic flaw. I think it is far, far harder than most anyone would like to admit, to write something that is usefully and sustainably reusable over any but the shortest distances in space and time.

I'm out now. No more hiding. I get to grow breasts and wear dresses and cute shoes! Oh, that shower scene from childhood actually happened? Shit. Oh, "Running Pussy" was a high school nickname that really fucked me up? Shit. Oh, I can't actuall buy cute shoes because I'm a monster. Shit. Oh, people literally want me dead. Shit. Oh, some of those people are related to me and say they love me while *still* wanting me dead. Shit. Oh, I have no idea what my sexuality is and if I try to figure it out I'm a freak. Shit. Oh, this idea pretty much destroyed my life. Shit. Oh, I'm supposed to be so much happier now? Well shit.

Attached: 1 image Good news! It looks like the noise you have all made has convinced Philips Hue to reconsider. They will not force data sharing on user accounts, according to their response in this The Verge article. We do await the exact changes to their policy. https://www.theverge.com/2023/9/28/23892761/philips-hue-app-account-changes

That being said, I'm excited to be talking at two conferences in October:

Hope to see some of you there!

For anyone who is considering it for their own org, I shifted my org to a four day workweek several months ago, just as others globally are starting to (including, civil servants in Scotland!) 100% endorse. We are getting the same amount of work done because we are less bored, stressed and tired. We all take off Fridays. Everyone’s pay remained the same. Some people use the time for a paid second gig. Others to volunteer or like me, to read a book with a cat snuggled near by. #4dayworkweek

How do I begin to explain to you why surveillance cops are bad, and why #RaspberryPi hiring an ex spy cop _because_ he used Pis for surveillance and deciding all the criticism came from an organised dogpile and not from marginalised people with something to lose from police surveillance was bad? And why their reaction of immediately blocking everyone and whining to the media was bad? Anyway, that’s why I can’t buy a Raspberry Pi 5 https://petapixel.com/2022/12/09/raspberry-pi-under-fire-by-creators-who-are-upset-it-hired-a-former-cop/

I'm not just saying this because I'm on the OpenUK board ... State of Open Con last year was amazing, and I expect it to be even better in 2024! Open source software, open data, and open hardware all in one event. As a bonus, it's on the Tuesday after FOSDEM, so we can all travel together on the Eurostar from Brussels to London on Monday 😁 https://stateofopencon.com
