    Is autism coded characters a thing?

    Short answer: Yes

    Long answer:
    rules:

    • no autism diagnosis (excludes Sean Murphey)
    • no possibility of autism ever suggested (excludes Gregory House and Regan from inside job)
    • no alternate diagnosis (excludes Komi from komi can’t communicate who is canonically SAD not ASD)
    • must demonstrate an autistic trait, though not necessarily the obvious one (Sprig is here because he experienced sensory overload in a cinama)
    • no traits only shown in fanfiction considered (I don’t want to be here all day)
    • have to be from a show I’ve watched and I personally have to see it (no Abhed from community, no Catniss Everdeen from hunger games)
    • they don’t have to be good representation (so I don’t have to justify several of my choices most notably Sheldon or Beverly)
    • no instances where the author obviously knew what they were doing when they created the character (excludes the Mitchells from the Mitchells vs the machines, but not sheldon because they fell into writing him like that by accident)
    • being an excentric genius isn’t a sign of autism (excludes Albus Dumbledor)
    • being an idiot savant isn’t a sign of autism (excludes Forrest Gump)

    so in no particular order:

    • Myne and Ferdinand from Ascendance of a bookworm
    • The entire La clan from Apothocary Diaries
    • Luna Lovegood from Harry Potter
    • Several Stephanie Meyers protagonists including Bella Swan from Twilight, Wanderer of the stars from The Host and the one who keeps changing her name so it’s not worth keeping track of it from the Chemist
    • L and Near from death note
    • Lios from delicious in dungeon
    • Mob from Mob Psycho 100 and Saitama from one punch man
    • Saiki K from the disasterous life of Saiki K
    • Akun from Aho Girl (also Yoshiko get’s an honorable mention for ADHD)
    • Star from Star vs the Forces of Evil
    • Mabel and Dipper from gravity falls
    • Luz from owl house
    • Marcy, Sprig and Polly from Amphibia
    • Ferb from Phineas and Ferb
    • Lilo from Lilo and Stitch
    • Peridot and Lapis Lazuli from Steven Universe.
    • Papyrus and Nabstabluk from undertale
    • Abby from NCIS
    • Spencer from iCarly
    • Commander Spock from Startrek
    • Captain Sam Carter, Dr Daniel Jackson and Thor from Stargate SG1
    • Sheldon, Raj, Beverly and Amy from the Big Bang Theory
    • A lot of spidermen, though it’s strongest in Penny Parker IMO
    • Every robot ever put to screen who’s name isn’t Baymax
    • Many, many aliens including some listed above

    Snap has absolutely no system libraries and handles them by bundling them per package. Flatpak does kinda the same thing but a few core ones get bundled in the runtime. As far as I’m aware you can’t update libraries without rebuilding the snap completely. There are a lot of things you could say about this behavior but “sane” would not be high on that list. Stable maybe. I’ve had flatpaks break because a bug got introduced in a runtime. Snaps probably wouldn’t have that problem. But those underlying library updates are shared. You update the nvidia-opengl runtime once and it updates for steam, heroic and all your emulators. Meanwhile unless I’m fundamentally misunderstanding snaps, when a new mesa feature is released, you need to wait for the snap maintainer to update the snap before you can take advantage.

    If you’ve been PC gaming on windows for a long time (a much longer time than I have actually) you’ll have beef with Nvidia. You’ll remember what they did. You’ll remember when they released a driver to specifically break PhysX if there was an AMD card installed. You’ll remember them consulting with game studios shortly before the release of certain games just to put yandere simulator toothbrush levels of too much polygon in certain scenes to make sure their cards benched favorably in said games. You’ll remember a shit tonne of things like that they did. From an end user’s perspective, a fair amount of users have a chip on their shoulder for one thing or another that Nvidia did.

    Not exactly. It’s still used as a basis for Mint and Pop_Os. It’s still a fave basis for other people’s distros. And I think if you’re using an ubuntu based distro it’s not your fault that your upstream is stupid. To clarify:

    • ubuntu
    • kubuntu
    • lubuntu

    -> PEBCAK

    • Pop_Os
    • Linux Mint
    • Hannah Montana Linux

    -> Silly maintainers using a dumpster fire like Ubuntu as a basis

    In our defense, nobody actually likes nvidia. They are a bunch of greedy patent trolls who actively stifle innovation with the way they run their business. And I don’t hate windows users. I just think they’re reckless with their privacy. As for mac users, I see them as cousins. At least what they’re using is posix compliant. Oh, and other linux users: if you’re using snaps, fuck you and fuck the horse you rode in on. You’re even stupider than the windows users.
