Yeah there must be some federation issue with that community. I have a Hexbear account so I replied with your comment and linked them to this thread
Ah got it. Two sources I wish I knew about in the beginning are Xah Lee and Mastering Emacs. I linked keybinding specific pages, but both have a LOT of content and are super helpful. I've never read them start to finish, but just picked topics I was interested in learning about.
Those keybindings are useful in the terminal and other places that use GNU readline too
The White House clarifies that President Joe Biden and other US officials have not seen or independently confirmed that Hamas terrorists beheaded Israeli children.
...
A White House spokesperson says the president based his comments on claims from Netanyahu’s spokesman and media reports from Israel.
Don't the fallout games have more satire of anti-communism than they are seriously anti-communist themselves?
Oh I didn't know there were talk pages. Yeah I agree an apples to apples comparison would be good, but if you don't have that it's probably best to not include it.
Thanks! I was looking it over and something stood out to me.
For comparison, 2.8% of the United States population is currently incarcerated, millions more than were ever imprisoned in Soviet gulags.[1]
Can I ask where that 2.8% figure came from? That's almost 10 million people and seemed like it was quite high to me. I followed the reference number to a blog which has this quote:
“In a rather small news item appearing in the newspapers of August 1997, the FLT-AP news agency reported that in the US there had never previously been so many people in the prison system as the 5.5 million held in 1996. This represents an increase of 200,000 people since 1995 and means that the number of criminals in the US equals 2.8% of the adult population. These data are available to all those who are part of the North American department of justice….
I tried but I didn't see this FLT-AP source in their references section and couldn't find it with a quick Google. This is several times larger than the number reported by the Bureau of "Justice" so I wanted to check the source to see why there was such a large disparity. I'm not saying the figure is wrong, but maybe it would be helpful to briefly explain why there is such a stark difference from the government source.
Also the prolewiki page says "currently incarcerated" and the reference is referring to nearly 30 years ago. The 2.8% figure could still be accurate, but maybe a different source should be used to back that up.
Sorry for the criticism. I really do appreciate the work you and the other editors have put in! I know very little about this subject, but feel like I learned a bit by reading the page.
Oh wow that is impressive. I wonder what the power draw is like with them being based on server ARM chips
The other comments have covered a lot of the potential positives of a getting a diagnosis. Here's an article written by an autistic doctor on some of the drawbacks:

In short, there's a lot of ableism, so it's important to think about what benefits you will personally receive from a formal diagnosis.
I'm not trying to dissuade you from getting one if it's something that you want to do you should go for it. I just wanted to share some info that made me think getting a formal diagnosis wasn't right for me.
Does Yanqui == Yankee?
Thanks for the insightful comment!
How do you think an export ban will square with Taiwan and America's one China stance? Taiwan is incredibly important to U.S. chip making with TSMC being the largest semiconductor manufacturer in the world. If the ban carves out an exception for Taiwan wouldn't that escalate the tensions? The U.S. is now looking to create fabs internally, but those are still many years away from operating and operating at scale.
