No I want to save what HN is use and add it to something like TamperMonkey user scripts so I get the alternating colors for HN permanently.
I tried before but I failed. Do you know of a solution?
Year for year, I try to find out how to get each post in HN a different color for the number so that I can easier navigate.
Grey
Red
Grey
Red
...
It helps me same as a table with different row/column colors.
Because when I need to callback information, I can remember, hey this was red!
Next clue is I need to find a red label and a greyed out text.
I wished there were more clues, but this is the best I know at the moment.
Could you please support me and possibly others?
I got Autism.
> What? I think someone needing this level of instruction would be better served by basic mindfulness and small, manageable exercises in active listening or empathetic dialog, rather than a grab bag of non-contextual tips like this.
Look, when you say "someone needing this level of instruction," it comes across like needing detailed, step-by-step help is weird or a problem. But plenty of people with ADHD, autism, or other brain differences don't just find this helpful - they actually need it to make sense of things.
And suggesting they'd be "better off" with mindfulness or simpler stuff? That assumes they haven't already been down that road. Maybe those approaches just don't click with how their brain works.
Calling it a "grab bag of random tips" really undersells what's going on here. For people who need things spelled out clearly and directly, those specific tips might be the difference between something being useless and actually doable.
The whole thing reads like it's written from the perspective of someone who finds this stuff obvious, then judges other approaches as somehow inferior. That's the ableist part - acting like there's one "right" way to understand things and anything else is just... less good.
This particular nature of making quick conclusions can be found everywhere.
That article is no shocker. It exposes the same weakness in openly questioning things and using your brain.
Related: People argue like this:
- "All people who make stairs hating on wheelchair users"
- "Men who don't like other men crying or showing emotions are hating all women"
The problem isn't just conspiracy theories - it's this broader pattern of binary thinking that refuses to acknowledge nuance or complexity. When we jump to these extreme conclusions, we lose the ability to have real discussions about difficult topics.
These, or similar quick conclusions are flawed to the core and hurt those around.
So you buy premium - now you don't have ads from YouTube anymore. But now YouTubers such as LinusTechTips and who else not want monthly payments for their exclusive content. Yea, that's not going to work. Now your watchers don't watch your content.
My neurologist has a LOTS of patients.
All of those with either Autism or ADHD / similar symptoms claim that they feel they don't get enough work done.
I start to believe that we are overly self-critical, and that the actual workers are having better ways of hiding their incompetence :D
