Well, I'm using GitHub. I don't know what to tell you.

I guess I would be ok sending the money on my own. But these other services have the nice feature of allowing other users to contribute to the bounty into a single pot. I.e., I can put a bounty of $20, then user b also really wants the feature and will add $5. When the PR is approved, the developer is guaranteed $25 and doesn't have to contact user b to send their $5 or give out their financial info to X number of people.
Is it available right now? What do they call this feature so I can search for it?
Oh interesting. Do you know if there is a way to get Windows Explorer to support tags for files so they can be searched? I know there's a roundabout way to do it through the properties menu for specific file types but perhaps there is a better way?
One thing I've started to notice in here is a ND person will make some joke based on typical Autistic dry humor (overly literal or pragmatic, etc.) or just putting a light-hearted spin on the situation, and some NT will swoop in to attack that person for "gatekeeping" or "mocking", not realizing this was an ND attempting some inside humor directed at fellow NDs.
Feels bad finally finding a community where we can safely share our traumas and quirks and insights, and then "allies" feel the need to attack and berate us when we're just Autistic and just socializing in our weird way.
Please be nice and don't shame our odd humor. We're struggling already as-is.
For example, a light-hearted ND joke here, immediately attacked by someone who doesn't realize this community is exactly where that kind of humor is very common: https://communick.news/comment/316930
If you haven't already, look up Graphic Audio. They make a lot of popular books into audio dramas. It felt a bit cheesy to me the first time but it's grown on me. I find them often on Hoopla or at my library.
"We're Alive" was a pretty fun audio drama that I think started as a podcast, but they edited into more seamless "books". Available as a freebie if you have Audible.
"Impact Winter" is another Audible freebie I think, about Vampires.
Alternatively, you may be interested in the Magnus Archives. It's a podcast with a short horror story in each episode, but all tied together by the researcher who narrates it. Eventually some connections form between the stories but each one is pretty short so you don't need to be super dedicated to the whole podcast if you just want a few stories.
I gotchu. I read it literally the way you say at first.
This is exactly the kind of joke I make all the time which is what prompted my friend to ask if I was autistic.
Got myself an sleep mask and weighted blanket for bed. Helps me sleep so much better.
But also, when I notice I'm building up to a meltdown, I tell my wife "I need to hide for a few minutes", go up to the bedroom, lights off, mask on, weighted blanket on, earbuds in, and just block all stimulation for about 5 minutes. Usually prevents any meltdowns.
I can't tell, so I just assume everyone is always bored of me all the time.
