I think what you should be considering is just how horrifying a brutal rape is. I'm not going to describe that. I'm going to tell you to put on your thinking hat, and really do some thunking on this one.

I'm aware of the definition of the word, yes. And I stand by what I said.

When those are just the precursors to the horrible murder, I'd have to say yes, magnitudes worse.

Because on one hand you get brutally murdered, and on the other you get brutally raped and brutally murdered.

Makes perfect sense to me.

Piper is probably what you want for the mouse (and maybe solaar which handles unifying receiver/bolt connectivity.

As far as Nvidia goes though, that's likely to be the sticking point right now. Maybe at some point they will clean up their act, but I wouldn't hold my breathe so I wouldn't ask you to wait.

Windows 10 may be the better fit right now, and that's ok. Maybe Nvidia will release new drivers in a few weeks or months and you'll have more options, but for now I think Win10 may be the best fit for what you need.

Edit: Maybe see if Mint works out? https://lemmy.world/post/15653242

Honestly stencils are best for that.

Exactly - honestly would be neat to stick on the boxes for the controllers I'm using for sensors in the garden.

May play around a bit with the design (with the help of a few graphic designer folks that I work with and would enjoy this, who can also do in minutes what would probably take me an hour or two)

I like this a lot more vertically!

I also think it could have a bit less detail and get the point across, which would let it scale better.

After you get the basics (others covered that), what I like to do when learning a new language is make a series of simple games.

Things like:

  • Guess the number (user input)
  • Hangman (more complex user input)
  • Pong (even more complex user input, graphics, hit detection, etc)
  • Space invaders (arrays, ways to increase difficulty including qty and speed)

Etc. Good luck and enjoy learning!

Solar powered battery banks which keep a few things up and running in my office (glass sliding doors, so I get plenty of light. Also use them to charge my phone and such.

My bike, which I used to ride to the bus to get into work until I went full remote. Has a small solar kit for my lights to stay charged on long rides. It's been a bit due to some joint issues, getting back into it now, but used to do centuries every weekend. Didn't need to it charge to full, whatever trickle worked just to extend it past the 4 or so hours it would do from full, then charge on the battery banks.

Gardening and associated sensors. Working on moving those over to lorawan, right now the updates are a bit spotty even at once every 4 hours updating due to distance.

I've got a bunch of stuff that's running on lightweight chips, like esp8266's and ESP32s, to do things like Bluetooth beaconing, lights (wled), etc.

It'll be a bit, but we are going to need to move to something with a bit more space, so other plans (solar + battery for the whole home, indirect solar water heating, etc) will be on hold for a bit.

I am shocked there is someone besides me who still enjoys the wordy C.

Pascal was the first real language I learned (after basic)

Just run windows in a VM for when you absolutely need it. It's how I can do my job but not be constantly barraged with ads in a start menu.

Pfft, that's only because you write garbage code in rust.

I write garbage code in lots of languages!
