It’s at this moment, Little Billy recognized his ideas aligned more with that of the long-time foe, than with those he had considered allies.

The Windows 10 equivalent, Timeline, got discontinued in 2021. At this point in time it is unknown whether Microsoft will retrofit Recall into Windows 10. Knowing Microsoft it is safe to assume they’ll try anything for profit.

I like CryptPad by Framasoft, for big stuff.

Microsoft has a history of doing so, both with Minecraft customers and others. They just don't care.

Some web applications force me to open their screens in separate tabs and windows, by making the screens remove any filtering on revisit by back button. And thus I have 20 tabs open that all start with the same meaningless word.

Indeed. I'm not totally oblivious. Luckily I have learned a few phrases and figures of speech. But it seems I had a way harder time learning those than my school mates who weren't on the spectrum.

Right! I totally missed that! Why is Jalopnik advertising for the Post?

I took that AQ-10 test, and also pondered this particular question. No, I suck at reading between the lines. Give it to me straight, please. No beating around no bush.
Figures of speech pose an equal problem: I may just lack the cultural awareness that allistic people enjoy, but it's rare for me to understand a common phrase, and more often than not I'll invent a completely new one.
Reading between lines: do allistic people do that? How? Is it some skill I can learn?

No, they aren't. You can switch to their Universe patches anytime, at your own risk. If you want Canonical to mitigate that risk for you, you pay. Simple, really.

All the good things Records bring are stifled by JPA and DAO conventions and requirements. I really hate JPA for that reason, and have avoided Hibernate in favor of my own DAO implementations.
Records will slash thousands of lines of code from my implementation and will make it infinitely easier to maintain, and trust down-stream.

Advances in the java programming language, version 16 and newer, slashed a million lines of code from my codebase. Maintaining my programs became easier overnight, due to this 1 secret trick: Records. Unfortunately version 16 was not LTS, so I had to wait until this year's release of version 21, which is LTS. Go read the linked article. It explains Java Records in a very approachable manner.

From the perspective of maintenance and technical debt: yes, you do want your code to be as clear as possible. But some languages, like assembler and mindfuck, simply weren't designed to be semantically expressive. Assembler clearly states what is happening but not why. And mindfuck is created to be as hard to parse by humans as possible. Without a description of why things exist or what they should be doing, you're going to have a bad time.
Andrez Sainz de Aja writes that comments are a code smell: they make us lazy. Instead of using comments to convey intent, the coding should. But that is hard, so it is easier to write dumb coding and just put the intent into comments.

Solution: delete all bookmarks that point to an article hosted at github.blog. Background: For the longest time, Firefox would suggest the github.blog web address whenever I type "github" into the address bar. I found that weird: yes the word "blog" starts with a letter lower in the alphabet than the word "com", but the ".com" TLD is much more popular so should show up first, right? Right... unless you, like me, have web search suggestions turned off when entering web address into the address bar. Instead, it takes suggestions from my bookmarks and open tabs, like I instructed it. Thus, Firefox is behaving exactly as designed and instructed, and the solution is to remove the bookmarks that point to github.blog. I only wish I'd had recognized that sooner...

When attempting to save a file using MS Windows 10, into a folder to which other files are written at the same time, it's impossible to change the name the file should receive, as each new file causes an update of the save dialog, moving the file name cursor back to front. Discovered today, using Windows Pro, version 10.0.19044.2846
Chances are you forgot to kick it. The linked article is written by me. It explains how Java streams need a terminating operation in order to start any actions. For more explanations and code examples, do follow the link and read the article. It's free.
