    I started the video shocked that GN would do a video like this at all. I was 100% ready to blame GN for being petty. As I watched and listened, though, he made really good points, and I can't help but agree. Especially on the points where Linus doubles down on really bad takes instead of doing the right thing, insisting it doesn't matter (there are loads more examples than just Billet).

    The one thing he didn't say that I wish he had, though, is to remind people that he's focused on industry journalism, not just hardware itself. This isn't a hit piece, it's an information piece, where he holds industry players accountable. Not unlike his journalism on Newegg and Asus. No, it's not positive, but it's honest, and it informs and benefits consumers.

    I respect your opinion and I hate pretty much everything that Musk says and does... but I love my car. The other options on the market are not as good at this point. Maybe soon they will be, and I'll look at them again next time I buy.

    I haven't been diagnosed with ADHD, so that means my picking up of electrical engineering, retro computer building, programming in z80 and 6502 ASM, 3d printing, CAD, AI, LLMs (locally run), python, rust, embedded programming for AVRs, RP2040 in C, rust, and ASM ... Since the beginning of COVID is perfectly normal, and the dozen half finished projects I have scattered about are entirely reasonable...

    Right? Right....?

    There are better solutions to the problem. For example, letting communities follow other communities. It's simple and flexible.

    Take a look at the discussion here https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/3071#issuecomment-1595303910 or my diagram of one proposed solution.

    I stumbled onto a YouTube video first, unfortunately. But even watched as a video this wad is still a masterpiece.

    For those interested, there's a lemmy community for the pi pico from the same mods as r/raspberrypipico.

    https://lemmy.ml/c/raspberrypipico

    (if you're viewing from a different instance, just drop that link in the search and if it doesn't show up the first time, try again in a few minutes and it'll show up after it's sync'd to your instance)

    Nope, B is officially supposed to be left hand. B is equidistance from both index fingers. Y is closer to the right than the left.

    B is very commonly typed with the right hand, though, just because so many people are right handed. I'm weird with it, and use both fingers, depending on what word I'm typing and if the other hand is more busy.

  • This is run by the same moderator team as the subreddit. I'm not shutting down the subreddit or anything at this point, but I wanted to give a lemmy alternative for users that want to move over.
