It’s ultra weird, although I guess I… could kinda see how someone wants to keep a diary of family dinner conversations?

You can just use your phone to record those of course, but a dedicated device might be easier to use. Since it’s not cloud-connected and you transfer off of it manually anyways, fiiiiiiineee I guess? 🤷

I mean to be fair I’ve had three Kindles now and am someone who uses old Fairphones and repairs them, and none of my Kindles gotten close to surviving long enough to potentially run into this problem of them no longer supporting it.

Which… is the actual reason one should not get a Kindle, tbh. They’re fragile as fuck.

I suspect they’re ending support for some older format these devices need on their server-system, since it’s been a few years.

But sadly no technical details given.

Can’t have been that devoted if they were still on those old devices instead of buying the newest one every 1~2 years, can they now?! <-- Amazon C-suites

Cute animal in the logo.

And they also… No, that’s actually it.

FTFY

Americans would do anything before they take a look in the mirror, damn.

Hrm so I searched around that site a bit, and I genuinely cannot find them ever discussing that. Maybe it’s in some of the videos (a very poor choice of design for something that supposedly is about more inclusive communication) but mostly it seems to be seminares and workshops.

But just to ask the general question, I still need to make a negative assessment, yes? I still say “worst”, not “++ungood”. So I would also call something “stupid”, not “unsmart”?
Intuitively just from the title, of course nonviolent communication ought to be a thing, but that’s distinct from a discussion as to whether all uses of a word should take in account all other uses of the same word, no? E.g. stupid person vs stupid move, or rape as a crime vs rape as a plant.

Why not, if I may ask?

This begs the question how I’d negatively assert outcomes and efforts if I am not to use negative language to describe it lest it’d be cruel.

Did you accidentally reply to the wrong post? I said something about word use and language, not about judgement and observations or decisions.

Yeah exactly, the mentioned words like ‘stupid’ or ‘lazy’ aren’t exclusive to describing neurodivergency at all. In fact I’d argue that’s a tiny minority of their use.

Danger noodle! <3

And if you live for rent, at least over here in Germany your landlords are obliged to replace them regularly, but like you say that just means they’ll replace them with previous ones that have been checked and had batteries replaced.

Ah yes, I remember a browser extension about finding coupon codes for the sites you’re on that absolutely didn’t end up being disgusting shit. 🤣

I can’t even decide what would be worse: AI-based shopping of general stuff, or shopping for AIs.

Eventually?!

That’s what I immediately thought of. 😅

Republicans? Yeah. Their voter base, too.

I’m not sure what a mental hospital is supposed to do. These people aren’t delusional. Not… per se. Rather the competently evaluated all the ways they could achieve something, be competent or successful or contribute or society either locally or at large, and also how they could enjoy their life. Then fully willingly went “nah, fuck it!”, took their brains out and tossed them into the bin.

What do we do with them, volunteer them for Musk’s Mars colony? 😑
