the term "neurodiverse" is supposed to cover ASD and ADHD but its primary usage appears to be ASD when i search the hashtags. it gets tossed in by a lot of people who are talking about autism and want to be inclusive, but people with ADHD don't do the same thing, so in practice, it ends up being another name for ASD.
some hashtags are too polluted or generic to follow. you kind of have to be sure to pick ones that are very specific to your interests. for example, the "psychology" hashtag is full of stuff that isn't really psychology but the "ADHD" hashtag is less spammy because it's more specific.

the way they sell Norway in tourism and cuisine is like "come here, live like a viking, eat seafood like a king, climb a mountain like an adventurer" and if i was a tourist, i wouldn't even be interested in that. what i look for are creature comforts and interesting people.
Norway is a really great country if you're the outdoorsy type, which i am not, lol

but it feels more like the kind of vehicle you drive. most any vehicle will take you places, but people typically pick ones that fits their use cases (applications) the best

it's kind of funny when people argue over the best OS without ever asking "for what purpose?" because computers are tools and you need to use the right one for the job

#Element (#Matrix chat client) on mobile needs to fix replies for images. it only shows the image name someone replied to.
