    Good you say it out loud. That way you and others can be shown that this is a false assumption.

    Ways to contribute but not limited to:

    • Donate money so people can produce foss instead of for profit/proprietary crap
    • Help translate
    • write wikis or documentation
    • follow discussions on the project forum/website
    • spread articles/news about the project

    Obviously, telling others about it is still helping and valid. But saying you cant contribute any other way seems unlikely.

    Thanks for bringing it up.

        I‘m autistic as well so please feel relate to on that front.

        1. thats rough.
        2. you dont need to understand translation software. Your assumption (again) is that you do. I dont understand translation software either. Translating for foss often means reading a sentence and writing it down in your mother tongue
        3. you are writing it in pretty flawless fashion so whatever you‘re talking about is another false assumption. Even if you use a translation app it doesnt show at all
        4. thats what throwaway email accounts are for. Nobody is saying sign up and forget it. I‘m saying help others who use the software and report your own bugs.
        5. cant comment on sedatives since I dont use any but I get the notion that people are hard to deal with.

        In conclusion, we autistic people tend to get stuck in our ways more often and need to rethink our approach to things so we can live without self imposed, unnecessary restrictions.

        Have a good one.

            Whatever you think mate. I stand by my initial statement. I can relate to the inflexibility of your thoughts because its a thing I often struggle with as well. I wont refrain from anything though as you can probably imagine. Have a good one.
