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.

Yes, they need to subscribe and comment on something. You can add them from that

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....?

That's correct. I'd suggest you create accounts on all the big instances and search for it so more people can find it. It's definitely indexed from lemmy.ml already, but it's worth checking lemmy.ca and others.

Post it as a qr code with the URL printed in the image as well.

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.

Thanks for sharing that here. The mods put that very well.

The concerning part will be what nonsense gets shoved into their apps in order to earn that discount. I'm guessing loads of ads and trackers under Reddits control.

I've created a list of other electronics communities on lemmy.

Feel free to create PR's against it or make suggestions here if there are others that we should include. I've also placed them in the sidebar.

Let me know if I've missed anything.

This list on Github

General Electronics

Embedded (generic)

Embedded (hardware specific)

Radio Frequency / RF

 

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.
