solely for being nazis

At what point do you think it's okay to punch a nazi?

What is your favourite open source software that you discovered in the past year, that you can no longer live without? in c/[email protected]

I just checked out fWallet and it doesn't support importing random PDFs so that's a huge downside to me since a lot of events I attend only send a PDF with barcodes/QR codes.

Could you do me a favour and make this post look like a Reddit post? in c/[email protected]

How are China's stringent lockdowns explained in this conspiracy theory? Also, where do I sign up as a member?

Awesome, thanks!

Where does something like "use a DC motor to build a tiny little fan" stand, in terms of safety?

Thanks, fire safety concerns have definitely played a major role in why I haven't actually started building stuff. I'll keep this in mind.

What you said makes sense. To provide context for why I am/was looking for the exact opposite --

I have a long string of failed hobbies and junk accumulated from all the stuff I've bought for them. I carry a ton of guilt because of this.

I guess I'm too hesitant to buy parts and have them lying around if I don't end up using them all if I abandon this too. That's the reason why I was hoping to buy a fixed set of parts for specific projects so that way I can at least convince myself that I used it all at least once.

Background: I took some 100 and 200-level courses on electronics in college over a decade ago. I still remember some stuff (Ohm's law, Kirchoff's law), and I can recognise the basic parts in a circuit diagram.

I am also happy to pick up a beginner friendly text book and go through the theory by myself, if there are any recommendations.

However, I've never even held a soldering gun. I am a blank slate when it comes to any practical applications. I get overwhelmed trying to figure out what kit to order on Amazon.

So, is there a course/tutorial you'd recommend for learning the hands on parts of it? I'd prefer as much handholding as possible. Ex -- if someone sells all the components to finish the projects in the course that would be the course I pick.

Why do people complain about multiple streaming platforms existing? (lemmy.world)
 

People (including me) complain about monopolies all the time for various reasons. At the same time, I've noticed a ton of complaints about the existence of multiple streaming platforms. But isn't that a good thing at the end of the day? If streaming platforms consolidated into 2-3 companies, there wouldn't be much stopping them from raising prices even more.

How do I browse an instance that I am not signed into? (lemmy.world)
 

I am currently logged into my account on lemmy.world. I'd like to view the home page of literature.cafe (or any other instance), view all the communities there etc.

I could just tap on the instance name, or even add instances that I wasn't signed in to on liftoff which no longer works.

Is there a way to do this on voyager?
