Surprisingly, this does not eliminate the risk that the maintainer will want you to explain or modify your patch. gitlab.winehq.org/mono/mono/-/

No one wants to review your patch? Simply become the project maintainer and then merge it yourself. gitlab.winehq.org/mono/mono/-/

@tbodt When that happens, I will write my own logic to fetch the content.

ADHD 

I think maybe the reason priority heap time management has been working well for me is: it lets my ADHD brain go where it wants. As soon as this project stops being what I most want to do with my time, I'll stop. And maybe come back to it. Or maybe not.

I'm not attached to the idea of completing it. I'm not going to push myself to get it done. I won't regard it as a failure if I abandon it.

I suspect I will get it working eventually, though, because the web isn't getting any less annoying.

psychology literature on autism is all so cringe.

"90% of autistic people are men" 100% of us can't believe you've fallen for this self-fulfilling diagnostic issue. ... and 90% of us wear striped knee socks.

"a few autistic people are so high-functioning that they even manage to hold down a job" we are holding down the entire science and tech economy, Clarence.

"a defining characteristic of autism is a lack of desire to share interests with others and a deficiency in theory of mind" I think the issue might be that you have never once spoken to a single autistic person as if YOU possess theory of mind, Karen. Now, the doors have been locked for your convenience, and my six hour presentation on obscure writing systems may commence.

Browsers don't care if your HTML is well-formed or not so this isn't surprising.

Still working on this. Got as far as the body tag and into the header of the page I'm working on. But, surprise, the HTML is malformed. They failed to close an element. So I had to add a rule so that, if an ancestor element is closed, it treats that as implicitly closing the current element.

I probably fell asleep right as 2026 was starting in this timezone.

I reached a point where I can parse most of an HTML header and now I'm exhausted.
