I am unable to establish exactly what is "royspec". However, from an email address, point of view, royspec doesn't exist. [09:09] schestowitz[TR2] I have read the link about autism. Thank you for sharing that with me. [09:09] schestowitz[TR2] Autistic spectrum. [09:09] schestowitz[TR2] Autism + Aspergers both fall under the Autistic spectrum. [09:09] schestowitz[TR2] The deference between Autism and Aspergers is that people with Aspergers have more of the ability or skills to articulate the structure of human communication. [09:09] schestowitz[TR2] People with Aspergers, will have an IQ average or above. [09:09] schestowitz[TR2] People with autism can have an IQ below average, equally they can have an IQ above average, but they will lack communication skills. [09:09] schestowitz[TR2] Advantages and disadvantages of the Autistic spectrum. [09:09] schestowitz[TR2] Disadvantages [09:09] schestowitz[TR2] Underdeveloped emotional intelligence. Therefore, from a social point of view, to register on an emotional level would put us on the level of children. [09:09] schestowitz[TR2] Advantages [09:09] schestowitz[TR2] Highly cognitive functioning.Thinking in an analytical way. Not expressing emotion, can portray a good poker face. [09:09] schestowitz[TR2] Not expressing emotion is due to the fact, our emotional chip = chemical has an underdeveloped spec. This is an hardware problem = condition. [09:09] schestowitz[TR2] Emotion v cognitive = logical thinking, technically do not reason with each others thought processor. [09:09] schestowitz[TR2] From a human point of view, socialising, puts the Autistic spectrum into the disability category. Due to the handicap = disadvantage. [09:09] schestowitz[TR2] " [09:10] schestowitz[TR2] " [09:10] schestowitz[TR2] Hello Roy. [09:10] schestowitz[TR2] I am delighted, that it makes sense. [09:10] schestowitz[TR2] I have managed to develop a personal formula, so that my logic can reason with emotion. [09:10] schestowitz[TR2] I have concluded that the emotional chemical reaction is mechanical. [09:10] schestowitz[TR2] I implemented the same approach to emotional language, exactly in the same methodical structure as if I was playing chess. [09:10] schestowitz[TR2] The complication was memorising the whole database of the emotional chip = chemical. [09:10] schestowitz[TR2] After memorising the database. I then had to copy emotional reactions to emotional actions. Observing other humans interacting. [09:10] schestowitz[TR2] Now I can play chess with emotions or communicate with emotions. [09:10] schestowitz[TR2] The only problem that I have is I will always be processing through logic. [09:10] schestowitz[TR2] Lateral thinking. The logical chip = chemical, must understand that emotion reactions do not respond with reason. [09:10] schestowitz[TR2] I identify myself as self-governing. " [09:10] schestowitz[TR2] "People on the autistic spectrum, think from a binary perspective. [09:10] schestowitz[TR2] Humans speak in different dialects. [09:10] schestowitz[TR2] In the mechanical machine world. I have identified that human dialect is equivalent to C++ Java. C++ is compiled directly to machine code which is then executed directly by the central processing unit. Java is compiled to byte-code which the Java virtual machine (JVM) then interprets at runtime. Actual Java implementations do just-in-time compilation to native machine code. [09:10] schestowitz[TR2] Python is an interpreted, high-level, general purpose programming language. [09:10] schestowitz[TR2] Created by Guido van Rossum and first released in 1991, python design philosophy emphasises code readability with its notable use of significant whitespace. [09:10] schestowitz[TR2] I have identified that considering there is lots of different dialects or languages or code in society, can make it difficult for autistic people thinking from a binary perspective on what dialect or code to converse with. [09:10] schestowitz[TR2] I am fully aware that everything that I am stating is theoretical.

    On the UI side, one of the things that immediately captures attention is the redesigned audio mixer, which now offers clearer visuals, refined thresholds, and fixes for HiDPI displays using fractional scaling.

    One of the standout changes comes to Enhanced Tracking Protection in Strict mode, which now features a more flexible exception list. Instead of treating all blocked trackers the same, Firefox splits exceptions into two categories: baseline, which ensures core site functions work properly, and convenience, which covers additional features.
