I’m not at all excited about the way our climate is going, but there’s a bit of a silver lining in Trump likely being the guy to put mar-a-largo under the mar
- Comment on No Frills PCB Brings USB-C Power To The Breadboard 1 week ago:
Yeah, 9v at the very least, but 15V would be a useful option too
- Comment on No Frills PCB Brings USB-C Power To The Breadboard 1 week ago:
Tbf, these are slightly different things, the one in the OP hooks up to the standard power “rails” on a breadboard. You don’t need to buy a special one with markings specific to a pi or Arduino (or just learn the pin outs). OP’s also has the benefit of not taking up half a breadboard like your example.
Not saying more similar things don’t exist, but for the example you’ve given I think there’s significant enough differences for them to have distinct use cases.
Agree with what another comment said though in that it would be good to select for higher voltage than 5V.

Randomly stirring shit in another country about paedos
That’s a lot of smoke that we keep assuming isn’t coming from a fire over there
- Comment on what is your opinion on mastodon and other fediverse microblogging sites?? as opposed to forum-type websites 2 weeks ago:
I think I’m very similar to you
I want to have a feed of topics I’m interested in, very rarely do I care about a specific individual, and the case that I do it’s probably because they’re a local restaurant or something like that, basically all I use Instagram for is a glorified photo menu for food I might want on a given weekend
- Comment on End of an era as Radio City tower hosts final live broadcast on Christmas Eve | Liverpool 3 weeks ago:
Other than the liver building, radio city tower has to be the most iconic part of the Liverpool skyline.
It was definitely the first thing I noticed when I arrived by train for the first time years ago

Kinda crazy that Linux can support some older Direct X games better than Windows these days
- Comment on I've noticed a lot of UK job applications use the American MM/DD/YYYY date format and some also say "resume" instead of CV. Does that annoy you if you're British? 5 weeks ago:
The date thing is infuriating because the American date format just shouldn’t exist

I see where you’re coming from but then you could easily headline this as “Teenage con man scams $50k”
Just because some people are gullible, even if they’re also often shitty people, it doesn’t mean they deserve to be scammed

Cheers I appreciate the list, yeah I had a feeling it was a bit of a smaller library
- Comment on Don't Forget The Sega 32X Turns 30 This Year, Too | Time Extension 1 month ago:
I’ve never really given the 32X library much of a look
What are some personal highlights of people here? I might give some a look at the weekend

- Comment on 'Democrat propaganda': Marjorie Taylor Greene plans to team up with Musk to defund NPR 1 month ago:
My friend, this is unfortunately the reality of all “left” press of any high volume.
We have the Guardian in the UK which is regarded as the lefty paper by many people here, but if you look at the modern editorial slant, particularly around political coverage and you’ll find it’s very much a centrist paper and occasionally a bit centre-right. They get the odd left-winger in for opinion pieces from time to time to keep up the charade, but you can tell if the LibDems had a chance in hell of being elected, the paper would drop all support for Labour in a heartbeat.
Actual left wing press at any large scale is not permitted to exist by the billionaire classes. If one gets too big, it’ll be acquired and the slant will shift before long. Class consciousness is bad for business

- Comment on Are illegal streaming sites really getting shut down a lot lately or has it always been like this? 2 months ago:
TBF those streaming sites are usually the lowest common denominator, run by people who are just trying to make as much ad money as they can before they get caught or shut down.
When one shuts down, another inevitably pops up—it’s been this way for a couple of decades. No site ever lasts longer than a couple of years tops, it’s just a way too obvious way of doing things to not get caught eventually
Generally it’s best to go with a download based approach anyway (or one of the streaming approaches that doesn’t involve a web browser), given the quantity of shitty ads and tracking they’ll have on them.

Sure things can always go quicker, but this one is at least already on the right trajectory, and luckily that’s the hardest one for a government to influence.
The government should definitely be heavily subsidizing heat pump replacements and bring back the solar subsidies though. And yes shove every penny necessary to get HS2 done to completion so we can get started on HS3 and completely disincentivise short haul flights. All the while building as many wind, tidal and solar farms as possible to power it all—bonus points if we can get a surplus Vs our immediate neighbours.
If we’re all dead the money doesn’t matter, so it should be spent on ensuring survival.

Well that’s a lie, I know an early 20 year old who’s into retro games and has definitely been to an arcade with CRTs in the past year or so
- Comment on People born after 2000 have never seen the cosmic microwave background on their TV set. 2 months ago:
No one in the last 25 years has ever seen it.
I mean you can still find a CRT today and turn it on if you like, they’re less common for sure, but they’re still around if you’re looking for one
