I think there are a few instances where mentioning your own inability or failures are ok. One would be where it's qualified with like, appropriate measures to ensure it doesn't happen again.

Like if I say I'm flawed and not perfect, it makes sense to think something like this might happen again and hey here are the mechanisms or things in place to ensure my non-perfectness can be addressed and mitigated so as to cause the least amount of harm for others (at my own expense).

Of course this is not at all what was done or what tends to be done :/

Yeah, DIYing isn't too expensive when I did it, I think you could do it for around $100 USD for parts, maybe if there are still free sample PCBs available from pcbway or allpcb. That assumes you have a soldering iron and solder and the other tools...

Question for the folks in here, are there any inexpensive SBCs with USB-C that can do data and power under ~80 USD? I've seen I think the Orange Pi 5 and a few others but I'm not sure what the track record on support is.

What do you use to change the layout, VIA or QMK? I used ZMK on a Lilly58 and I preferred it to QMK/VIA. I used a nice!nano and the wireless was pretty good.

Thanks for the response. What you shared is the same experience I have with Google :/

Does anyone have any examples of Linus genuinely admitting he made a mistake or was wrong in a way where he dealt with a modicum of consequence? I can't think of any, but I don't watch him very much, at least recently.

Maybe if a video is made about this then that amplifies the Nexus video and the criticisms it had. By not meaningfully engaging with it, they are not exposing it to their audience which is substantially larger than Gamers Nexus.

I think it could be that he does do it eventually though, after he finds better arguments or finds support from his community.

I've been eying Kagi and Orion. How do you find Kagi? I spend so much time fighting with Google SEO if it's half decent I would switch. I'm just wary that my searching methods wouldn't work well in Kagi.

Did you find it straightforward to adjust to how Kagi works?

This is hard to believe, it seems too comical.

I believe you of course, and without accumulating enough about Linus' & LTT's antics I would have doubted you. I wonder what it is that causes these kinds of things to happen. I want to say success but I think there may be something about their ethos. Not what they espouse but what they sorta believe internally.

Oh InDesign is great. Fiddling around with code can be annoying, for a research paper I wrote in undergrad it took me longer to format it than to actually write it and I ended up doing quite well on it (as well as one can for a lower level biology lab with the expectations that come with it...)

I think this is interesting, certainly screenshots and giving an idea of how something works is important. It seems more important to many users rather than say developers. I guess developers have a different set of priorities, maybe it does make more sense for users to add screenshots or contribute as it is in their interest whereas maintaining and fixing critical bugs is more within the interest of the developer?

How would this even be communicated effectively to users? I find that most calls to support are vague and maybe if they were broken down by interest or skill set it would help people understand that they too could do something.

E.g. Having a headline that says contribute, and like a table with icons for different professions or areas people could contribute with different processes for each. I have friends who are good typesetters or editors, but they would not put in the effort to use github, they would prefer to use something closer to social media or word/docs at the most. It feels like github samples from only a subset of the population and is actively trying to ensure the comfort and curation of that community to the expense of others and collaborative work in general.

If you are learning LaTeX, you might want to check out typst. There's a plug-in to use it with Obsidian that's under development, though it seems functional.

I was tired and frustrated with all the bloat that came with LaTeX. The syntax was annoying, and things constantly broke. I've been using it for almost a decade and I started off by writing a research report in secondary school, then did resumes, more research assignments, etc. Presently I'm working on a timeline package and a sort modular resume that will make it easier to tailor towards different jobs depending on their requirements.

I really suggest you take a look. It's in its early stages and developments are coming along very quickly. The community discord is very helpful and enthusiastic, filled to the brim with brilliant people in disparate fields with all sorts of use cases. There's stuff for music chords, 3D renders, circuit diagrams, slideshows, several theses, and so on.
