  • I run it on my second phone, a OP6T. GNOME on mobile has improved a lot. The framerate is higher and the keyboard is more consistent. Auto rotate now works. I still wouldn’t use it as my daily driver though since the camera still doesn’t work, voice input with pipewire is very wonky and it still crashes every now and then. Random touch input bugs happen twice a day too, forcing me to reboot. It got so far but it still has a bit left to go.

    I heard this for years while the show was running. I refused to watch the show as well. I decided to start watching it recently.

    It turns out that what people were referring to when they likened me to Sheldon was my autistic traits. Sheldon incorporates a lot of specific autistic traits in his character and I am autistic. The funny thing is, one of the people that was constantly comparing me to Sheldon was a good friend of mine who was also autistic but I guess she is somewhere else on the spectrum which is why it was easier for her to associate me with Sheldon than herself.

    I guess my point is to tell you that sometimes people make uneducated guesses and comparisons that may end up seeming funny when you realize why they made them. Watch the show. Laugh at them for comparing you to an exaggerated TV persona because you were different from what they expect the average person to be.







  • As an immigrant, I can concur. What I thought Canada would be and what it turned out to be are very different things. I’m not happy with the financial stress nor with how my international experience is not taken into consideration when applying to jobs. I am an undesirable candidate. I was lucky enough to find a job that is somewhat similar to what I used to do but my partner is restarting his career just to make money. At the end of the day, we barely make ends meet because rent is so expensive. Just to get an apartment we had to go through hell because we have no credit score and we couldnt afford to pay 6-12 months in advance. I generally felt unwelcomed.
