The photo in the article also doesn't display the heat maps legend. Clicking on it reveals a legend at the bottom but the word "quantiles" is AI-sloppy looking. Could be a compression artifact?

Honestly I even get rid of the taskbar too. I'll float the system tray at approximately the same place but either let it hide behind everything or fill the space above it with a specific window (mirrored phone screen) with fixed size. Now that I'm typing it out though, I'm going to investigate auto-hiding it until a keybind reveals it in front of all windows.
I switch programs exclusively with alt+tab regardless and KDE's launcher fulfills the super-menu functionality. I want a fresh session login to open to just my wallpaper. No icons, no task bar, no tray, nothing. An anti-rizz if you will.
I like the aesthetic and see it as a (tongue-in-cheek) method of security by obfuscation. I pair that with completely blank keycaps on my keyboard and suddenly 99% of the population doesn't know how to interact with my machine.
incredibly toxic
If this is how you feel about modern medicine you have zero standing to comment on divergent brain structures and their inherent changes in biochemical processes. There are plentiful evidence-based, peer reviewed research papers written by curious, highly specialized doctors on the impact genetics and fetal development have on differing brain structures that lead to various behavioral, emotional, and mental conditions you diminish.
Yes, finding community that shares your sentiments is absolutely good for you; I myself experienced this recently at a workshop on organizing labor and community. While that feeling of solidarity was sorely needed and positively effected my mood, it had zero impact on the biochemical processes and structural differences in my brain that lead to my various executive and mood dysfunctions.
The best way to treat and compensate for those dysfunctions is via consistent, appropriate medication and therapy from medical professionals. Those professionals have put blood, sweat and tears to get where they are because they want to help you. The private industries surrounding health care are absolutely toxic, zero argument there.
You may get frustrated trying to fight for treatment for yourself, but I'd wager that frustration pales in comparison to the frustration felt by the doctors who have to fight against insurance to properly treat their entire population of patients. Finding the right therapist and health care team is far too difficult and expensive, yes. The benefits of getting your shit sorted out now rather than later, however, are immense.
Mistrusting evidence-backed knowledge because your idealogically-driven desire to tear everything down feels better broadcasts your fear of introspection and lack of forethought. How do you expect to rebuild a healthier society from the ashes of our current capitalist hellhole if you yourself aren't healthy? How do you think your compatriots would react if you start spouting the same denial of modern medicine and, by extension, the scientific method as a whole? That's the bullshit my 'centrist' ex-friend spouted in between cheering on the dismantling of the Department of Education and complaining about the 'transgenderism indoctrination' happening in schools. Anti-intellectualism and distrust of expertise are key components of the conservative ideology and I'd advise you to examine how you've come to subscribe to them.
Based on the workshop I attended, many of the compatriots you want to stand with are queer and neurodivergent. If you are neurotypical you're going to have a hard time finding solidarity and community amongst people you insist just need to revolt against society rather than radically accepting their existence and working alongside them. If you are neurodivergent but have not developed tools and skills to compensate for your dysfunctions you won't be nearly as useful or instrumental in the revolution you dream of.
My distress stems from a combination of alienated labor, eroded social contract and kakistocracy.
My complex biochemical divergence stems from birth.
I think you'd rather externalize blame for your dysfunctions and demand the world change rather than seek evidence-based medical treatment so you can be functional enough to make the world change.
Totally valid, no rush. My guitar whispered to me a bit yesterday but its been a few weeks so I stuck to warming up rather than pushing for tempo.
I've mostly been working on Black Dahlia Murder's Statutory Ape and Protest the Hero's The Dissentience in terms of full songs. A few scattered PtH riffs off Palimpsest; intro to Sun of Nothing and the sweeps at the end of Selkies by BTBAM to round things out.
Haven't written anything in years, just working on my chops.
A few more;
Alluvial
An Endless Sporadic (Guitar Hero fans know)
Scale the Summit (but only the first couple albums - Carving Desert Canyons specifically)
TRAM (Tosin Abasi plays jazz)
Teramobil (GREAT introduction to my favorite modern bassist, Dominic LaPointe)
Trioscapes (Between the Buried and Men's bassist Dan plays jazz)
I often can't work to their music because my brain fills in their vocals for me, which is sometimes too distracting.
Can relate 100%. I have audio processing oddities that make understanding lyrics difficult. With how many times I've listened to their albums (1500 times in a row for Palimpsest! I've got the Last.FM receipts for it, even) I know the lyrics mostly by heart. Instead of my brain being distracted trying to comprehend it gets distracted trying to sing along. Thus, instrumental for getting work done.
Also I can't keep my boys Between the Buried and Me out of this post any longer. Suuuuuuuuch a fucking band. The new album rules, too!
CHON, Covet and Mestís are pretty laid back and so fucking excellent.
Cloudkicker has been around for a long ass time; early-mid 00's on Myspace. One of the progenitors of the 'bedroom guitarist' project, although he toured with Intronaut as his backing band awhile back.
Arctopus and Blotted Science are fucking weird and I love them.
Hehehe I knew that would draw you out. Where's your riffs?
Wisconsin?
