I thought this was an easy one, but turns out it is not.

My story is quite similiar, though I was working in theoretical ecology. Turned out that I could handle the computers we were working with and their linux distros better than anything else. I went on for another 2.5 years and then quit. I aquired he LPIC-1 and LPIC-2 certificates from the Linux Professional Institute, worked as a pure Linux sysadmin for half a year and am now working as a sysadmin for Windows in Linux in my 5.th year.
Where I live you need at least some kind of certificate (or some on the job experience) and the will and ability to learn. In my experience most companies that are working with Windows will be quite happy to hire someone who doesn’t shy away from the terminal and/or cmd.

Many thanks!

“It’s so hard to get sh*t made unless it’s a f**king Marvel comic.”
And consequently equally hard to get anything else but a Marvel movie to watch. Art monetarized to this existent just isn’t art anymore.
Don’t misunderstand me, I like some good entertainment now and then, but I prefer movies that make you think and can even change you for the better.

Missing on my list - thx!

I’m donating on a monthly basis: To four NGOs and to the devs of the OS and apps I’m using regularly.

Very nice idea! Made me relive many happy moments :).

In 1996 I skipped school to get an autograph from William Shatner.

Also in the 1990s I visited a Star Trek exhibition where George Takei signed copies of his autobiography sitting on the TOS bridge.

In 2022 I attended my first convention and got autographs from Kate Mulgrew and Robert Picardo (and others).

In 2023 I got my (first) Star Trek tattoo :D.

First, I love characters that are regularly puzzled by human beings / being human:
Spock
Data
Odo
The Doctor
Seven of Nine
Saru

Second, I love strong female characters:
Katherine Pulaski
Kira Nerys
Kathryn Janeway!!!
SNW Uhura
SNW Chapel

Third, I love queer characters:
Guinan
Garak
Jadzia Dax
Adira and Gray

I might have forgotten an awfull lot of equally amiable characters, which doesn’t mean that I don’t love them.

Currently pausing BG3 to continue Hogwarts Legacy and enjoy some The Last of Us Part I sessions inbetween.

Replicator. First things first.

I found an interesting position there. But there seems to be no discription of the job itself, just of the company. That’s odd.

I don’t think I can “speak” neurotypical. I’m imitating NT behaviour/language. And no matter how good I act “as if”, it will always be an imitation. It’s like repeating words of a language I don’t understand. I can learn what to say under which circumstances, but it will never be the same like actually speaking that language.

My NT girlfriend has two (other) autistic friends. Apart from that there are none or at least none, who would describe themselves as ND or “on the spectrum”.

A long time I experienced myself as “normal”. It didn’t occur to me, that “all the others are weird” can’t be right. While reading about ADHD a friend of mine also read about Autism and Asperger’s Syndrome. He often said (both teasingly and matter-of-factly) “You most certainly are autistic”. Eventually I had enough of it and looked it up. The Wikipidia article convinced me blazingly fast (“wrong planet syndrome”) and I got diagnosed within half a year by the age of 34 (i.e. 8 years ago by the time of writing).

At the moment I’m watching TNG (The Next Generation), which is what was running on TV after school when I was a kid. Inbetween TNG episodes I watched SNW (Strange New Worlds) as well as DIS (Discovery). Before that I watched PIC (Picard) season 3 as recommended by a friend.

When I was a kid I loved TOS (The Original Series) most, later followed by VOY (Voyager). Nowadays my favourite is SNW. Most of the series I like(d) instantly. To DIS however I just came back after quitting at season 2 when watching the first time.
