Which is why I use those tools extensively. I never said these people shouldn't try to compensate for any deficit, my point is that what people describe as "time blindness" is a real problem, and should not be so easily dismi

That's half my point, which is why I lead with agreement on that very problem, i.e. people self-diagnosing when they shouldn't. The top-level comment seems to attribute all such people who identify with those symptoms as doing so

Sorry, but you clearly have no idea what it's like to actually deal with this, at all. If I try to be on time to things, I will be stupidly early, or still think I have time to do tasks A & B before doing C, because they invariably

Thank you for joining in with some sense.

I'm really not, you've made an argument based on a semantic misunderstanding of my first response. I did not say "time blindness" was a condition, I said that people generally self-diagnose conditions, not just for those

You've really missed the point there, what I said was that these people who are using the term "time blindness" are not using official terms, and that ignorance does not detract from their life experience. Psychologists ref

So because those people are ignorant of the nomenclature, they must not really experience those issues? I never asserted that it was a standalone condition, in fact I attributed it as related to undiagnosed conditions that do have names.

Because that's a colloquial name given to a range of specific symptoms people experience, and it is in the DSM, covered by 1.e.: > Often has difficulty organizing tasks and activities (e.g., difficulty managing sequential tasks; d

I'm sure there are those who self-diagnose without really suffering from a condition, but you do realise time blindness is a real issue, right? https://www.simplypsychology.org/adhd-time-blindness.html I don't wat

And all of those generic services typically have more accountability than CloudFlare. I disagree, I think the metric that matters is what proportion of malicious sites use CloudFlare and their ilk. I have personally had reasonable success a

This reminds me of a practical application of such tech that never really made it. A chap had his invention on (Australian) ABC's The New Inventors , 20 years ago, named Emergalert. It could announce the presence of nearby emergency v

I had similar needs. I don't like that telemetry is on by default and you can only disable it by manually editing the config JSON (whilst service's stopped). I have encountered bugs in past versions but nothing recent stands out.
