yess when I read that this is a common experience for aphants, I became pretty certain I’m an aphant too. crazy how people can do that on command

interesting, I haven’t seen a licence like that before. I wonder why they didn’t go with good ole GPL, as it prevents restrictive commercial use of software quite well.

welcome to the rabbit hole!

I spend a lot of my idle time “working” on different problems with projects I have going on and a lot of that involves “constructing” things in my mind.

I do, too! I guess in a different way though. A lot of aphants like to compare it to a computer that does not have a screen or GUI. The computer is there - also the graphics card, the images, the data - but nothing visual appears in your mind’s eye. I would say there are several things that are more difficult for me to do - but surprisingly people with aphantasia function just fine. Otherwise I would have known something is different with me way earlier.

it’s absolutely wild! I still struggle to imagine how other people can picture things.

I do! I visualize when I dream. But I can’t do it on command. This is how I realized I probably have aphantasia. I can never consciously visualize. I can think and conceptualize, but not ‘see’.

I don’t think I have an inner monologue. Also I have full Aphantasia. I can’t visually imagine an apple let alone rotate it in my mind.

as you specified a square meter and not cubic meter, you only delete an infinitly thin plane of matter, rendering your superpower useless

you lose the finger you’re snapping. So you can only kill up to 9 dictators.

oh shit oh shit I’ll keep my awkwardness and remain fragrant then

impeccable social skills

I am really glad both exist. Gnome is awesome because of its simplicity and ease of use and KDE is really cool because it makes me feel like a superior human being

I guess that is because people don’t understand what the fediverse is and why it exists. It is one of the foundational problems the fediverse aims to fix. Marginalized communities get all the tools and authority to protect themselves from hatred and abuse.

That would require people actually recommending specific websites

I actually think that’s the way to go! lemmy.blahaj.zone would be one example of a queer-inclusive community.

well in that case join an instance that doesn’t federate with queer/transphobe instances? This is the advantage of federated social networks - it gives full control to the people who run their own instances
