remember that time sony tried to put "copy protection" on audio cds that literally just intentionally installed malware that opened up vulnerabilities and stopped windows from being able to back up cds

The research was fundamentally flawed and should not be used as evidence that one group is better than the other. It does, however, highlight the problem of biased research that stigmatises everything about us.

The autistic girl faces the reader, looking perplexed. She says, “Basically, they decided that autistics care too much and should be more willing to sacrifice their principles for money.” She inhales slowly, massaging her temples. The camera zooms out as she raises her hands in frustration and shouts, “WHAT!”
After calming down, she continues, “I know, I'm shocked too! But let's remember this is only one study. Not all autistics are selfless, and not all allistics are selfish. Yet it does shine a spotlight on how researchers talk about us.”
The page opens on a large spread, showing the autistic girl in various different poses and activities: displayed on a stop sign and crossed out, holding one of the kittens from the first page, playing music on the harp, and daydreaming of a beautiful castle in a field of flowers. The text flows alongside these images. She says, “It often feels like everything about us autistics is twisted into negative traits. Even the good stuff! Our strong sense of justice, our passion for our special interests, and our rich inner lives are all viewed with scepticism.”
The bottom of the spread shows several allistic people frowning and judging the girl. The final panel reads: We can see it all across autism research carried out by neurotypicals. There is an inherent bias.
A girl is staring unnervingly at the reader as she says, “I am staring into your soul!”
The panel text reads:  Imagine if we talked about neurotypicals the same way researchers talk about autistics:
“Aggressive obsession with eye contact”,
“Inflexible adherence to unwritten social rules”,
“Inexplicable compulsion to project negative subtext into simple conversations”. The next panel shows the autistic girl standing in front of a blackboard which has “Bad Researcher Detention” written on it. She looks strict as she says, “Silly, right?” Two researchers are in detention, teary-eyed and apologetic. “Sorry,” one of them sobs.
The next panel shows a diverse group of autistic people and the three kittens from the first page, an infinity symbol above their heads. The text reads: We need to have a serious conversation about how we research and talk about autism. And above all, autistic voices need to be the ones leading the charge. Let us head the research! Let us share our experiences!

@newtsoda Very interesting! Could you provide a reference to that study, btw?

@newtsoda that study is absolutely wild.

"For example, Moran et al. (2011) reported that ASD participants considered accidental negative outcomes less permissible than healthy control subjects, whereas both groups rated other types of events as having similar moral appropriateness"

I'm sorry, I don't think the control was healthy 😆

WTF

@newtsoda @sheromon I used to work in an autism research lab, and the way they explained the difference between my (non-autistic) interest in video games and an autistic "circumscribed interest" in video games was that the latter was "excessive". It took me a couple of years to think "excessive for whom?"

There has been a lot of research about autistics over the years, but this one really took the cake! 🍰

Find out what happened when researchers attempted to compare the moral compass of autistic and non-autistic people... (1/2)

#actuallyautistic #autism #neurodivergence #comic #art #MastoArt

Comic Title: Morality & How Researchers Talk About Us.
The first panel shows a researcher looking at a graph. The text reads: In 2020, researchers conducted a study with autistic and allistic people. Participants were from Brazil and between the ages of 14-25. They were given a choice.
The comic shows two different choices. The first one is: Support a bad cause for monetary gain. The panel shows a girl smirking and holding a stack of money, her back turned to a cardboard box of crying kittens. The text on the side of the box reads 'termination'.
The second choice is: Don't support the bad cause but miss out on the money.
The girl is holding one of the kittens in her arms and yells “No!” as she kicks the empty box away.
The comic goes on to explain that the choice was given in two different settings: public and private.
One panel shows a girl sweating nervously, surrounded by a group of people. The other panel shows the girl alone in a big open space as she carefully considers.
A girl is seen clutching a sack of money, cackling wickedly. She has little devil horns and a tail. The comic text reads: This is what the study discovered: Allistic people were more likely to support the bad cause. The higher the monetary reward was, the more likely they were to do so. The girl is seen fawning over a pile of money with hearts in her eyes. She gasps “Wow!”, her mouth wide open.
The comic goes on to say that allistics were more likely to support the bad cause in the private setting. One panel shows the girl in a group of people, with a halo over her head and sweating nervously as she lies, “I don't support it!”
In the next panel the devil horns have returned, and she is alone in the room with a wicked grin, clutching the sack of money as she says, “Give me the money!”
Autistics, on the other hand, were much less likely to support the bad cause. And their answer stayed the same, regardless of the setting. The first comic panel shows an autistic girl playing with the kittens from the first page. The second panel shows the girl turning up her nose at the stack of money. In both panels the girl says determinedly, “No way!”
The comic then asks: So, how did the researchers feel about these results? Well... They concluded that autistics were too concerned with their principles and morals. The panel shows the researcher tapping a sign showing the girl and the cat crossed out; the text reads, “Bad!”.
The comic goes on to say that the researchers framed the results as a negative thing. It shows three shortened excerpts from the research paper, which read as follows:
Excessive valuation of negative consequences when judging the moral appropriateness or permissibility of actions. Inflexible when following a moral rule even though an immoral action can benefit them. ASD individuals, unlike healthy control subjects...

@newtsoda wow, this study is pants on head backwards

They consider people who stick to their principles "less healthy" than those who are easier to corrupt? Da fuk??

@newtsoda the world makes more sense now knowing that. Also: wtf?

I’m appalled. The kitties, too.

⚡️⚡️⚡️Чаты Telegram официально больше не конфиденциальны

Telegram обновил раздел FAQ, касающийся неправомерного контента, и убрал информацию о том, что чаты конфиденциальны, а данные не подлежат передаче властям.

"Все чаты Telegram и групповые чаты являются приватными между их участниками. Мы не обрабатываем никакие запросы, связанные с ними", — говорилось ранее.

@miller359 Мне кажется, что текст про приватность - это очень древний текст, который давно протух.
Ведь функция репорта в чатах, которую тут расписали, появилась уже много лет назад.
Сейчас просто расписали для тех, кто пытается Дурова судить за то, что якобы репортов нет.

// Никак не утверждаю, что там есть конфиденциальность :)

if my horribly underpowered 2012 thinkpad can run a local LLM...

does that mean my phones can as well? :blobcatthonking:

#Office is now #Microsoft365.
the urls are still office.com, but you might also end up on live.com. if you’re clever microsoft365.com also works.

the login is obviously through microsoftonline.com, sometimes device.login.microsoftonline.com.

if you create a link you might also visit sharepoint.com, which is different but quite the same.

if you want your emails, that would be outlook.office.com, even though office is now microsoft 365.

and now explain a user to detect a #phishing website. 👀

@FRYTG And then you have outloo, which can rewrite url to safelinksmumble.protection.outlook.com. So everything’s now a phishing link.

@FRYTG i still have an @hotmail.com email address which works just fine. Using MS's webmail has redirected me to various domains over the years including various brand names:
- hotmail
- microsoft / ms
- msn
- outlook
- live
- office
- (there might even have been "exchange" at some point)
- 365 with various of the previous brands

🤡 if you ask me

@FRYTG you can !
It's the exact definition of phishing :
"Phishing attacks have become increasingly sophisticated and often transparently mirror the site being targeted, allowing the attacker to observe everything while the victim navigates the site, and transverses any additional security boundaries with the victim." ;)
