We tried the kiosk but it says something like 'you need nintendo online subscription'

Nintendo online subscription required for this tho?

Self-hostable Docker Compose stack update manager.

And

when you choose to update, PatchPanda edits compose/.env files and runs docker compose pull and docker compose up -d for the target stack. You can also view live log.

Discovered in the latest Self Host Weekly:

I have not tried it myself tho.

Are the school working with you/understanding, would a deeper conversation/meeting with them help before you make the move?

Is he on any medication at present that could be adjusted?

ADHD is often found in autistic individuals which would affect concentration. Autistic and ADHD behaviour can be confusing to understand as one minute the person is quiet and focused the next they are restless and seeking stimulation (of any kind, good or bad). Learning about ADHD might be useful.

School expect deeper concentration as children age so this issue may not have been obvious before now. School might offer to help such as letting him have 'brain breaks', walk around classroom, regulate himself however works best for him. Does he stim at all? Would he be comfortable to stim in school? There's a huge range of fidget devices available also that he could take in, some can be worn discretely such as necklaces etc.

Autistics find socialising difficult and I've heard children can't sometimes use violence, even on people they like, as they struggle to know how to connect. Working on his social skills can help. Are there any groups for autistic children outside of school he could join? It's often said one of the best things for neurodivergent people is to spend lots of time with other neurodivergent people.

Finally for you as a parent you might look to find other parents/support groups for those with autistic children if you're going through this alone. Sometimes your own family can't understand or know how to help so you have to look elsewhere. Well done for reaching out to this community and I hope you can find something that helps.

That first cutscene conjures such a mood for the game and is unspoilt by dialog. When he throws his hands up and curses her with the timer - game on!

Posts don't move with you though (yet?)

I've heard the phrase 'less/more profound' though it seems there is still much debate on terminology.

Identifying emotions can be useful, probably has to occur after the event when he is receptive. There are many aids for this like emotion wheels etc should be easy to find online. A lot of autistics struggle to understand what they're feeling or separate emotions from physical feelings so having a guide can help give him the tools. Might be useful to read about alexithymia also.

Perhaps role-playing a scenario might be good too. Such as playing a short board game together and saying let's try to lose on purpose. Or changing your schedule but letting him know ahead of time that this is a 'practice' change (and the change being a nice thing for him). Having it occur in a safe way may help him tolerate and understand it when its less under his control.

For me the trailer did not inspire confidence.

And while he highlighted some signs of unions reaching more people on platforms like TikTok, the union chief noted a stark fact: “Collectively, the trade union movement has fewer followers on X and Instagram than Nigel Farage on his own.”

“We directly represent five and a half million people, so we’ve got to get much better at using those social media platforms and talking directly to members and potential members,” the TUC head added.

Get on the Fedi!

That's good. There are also editors that can run it for you and highlight the issues whilst you type, neovim being one.

$() for me, to quote from

https://www.shellcheck.net/wiki/SC2006

Backtick command substitution `...` is legacy syntax with several issues.

1. It has a series of undefined behaviors related to quoting in POSIX.
2. It imposes a custom escaping mode with surprising results.
3. It's exceptionally hard to nest.

$(...) command substitution has none of these problems, and is therefore strongly encouraged.

What a shame that film wasn't better but maybe Aeon Flux's feel could never be captured in live action
