This is basically just a skeuomorph.

DataGrip is the one JetBrains IDE I can’t work without and continue to pay for. I’d love to find a pure OSS alternative, but there’s nothing else like it.

Alkaline batteries lose voltage as they drain, so 1.5V is at full charge but it drops down to about 1.2V very quickly and then stays at 1.0V - 1.2V for most of the alkaline battery’s operating life.

NiMH batteries tend to consistently stay at their nominal voltage (1.2V) through their entire charge.

So in other words, if you have devices that really expect exactly 1.5V per battery, they would only work with alkalines at the very top of their charge. Nowadays most non-garbage circuits should be designed to work just fine with anything above 1V per battery.

I’m curious about personal experiences here rather than aggregates, which tend to wash out individual differences.

I haven’t played this one, but I wish someone would do another “Inindo, way of the ninja” game. I have really fond memories of that one. I think it was a spinoff in the Nobunaga’s Ambition series. Looking at the screenshots now (from 30 years ago!!) it has… uhh… aged, a lot.

Does something like mindfulness help at all with this?

I’ve found that — with my ostensibly“normal” brain, at least — regularly practicing mindfulness meditation can be really helpful in getting through physically, emotionally, or perceptually difficult moments. It’s a practiced skill that helps take the edge off what would otherwise be overwhelming experiences.

I wonder if this is a practice that could also be helpful for people like yourself?

Genuinely curious: what happens to you internally / how do you feel when you feel overstimulated, as someone with ASD?

Half the posts on Mastodon are about how Twitter is doomed… so I guess it’s a kind of doom scrolling?
