Makes sense, I keep hearing people using rust for microcontroller, even had someone telling me that it could be use for fpga code, but I'm skeptical of the utility

Maybe translation issue? I just meant for fpga work int is 32 signed by default, but it's way more common to use logic variables which are unsigned and arbitrary length (>=1)

I use unsigned and fixed point sub-16 bit integers (you can make them almost any size you want) in gateware you can optimize things and one of those is not using a ton of huge numbers to do math when you don't need to.

The problem is that, with a lot of causes like feminism, it’s kind of mushy. It isn’t straightforward, it is loud, it is a winding path. ... I just feel like just simply supporting the rights of women isn’t enough with it and that there’s something more.

This is why intersections are important, there are many interconnected struggles under capitalism which all run into common opposition along misogynistic/classist/racist lines and often with numerous overlaps.

Having an approach which does not include the systemic forces at play from more angles than just one, can lead you to blind spots which cause friction with other people.

I don’t think going out of my way to stand somewhere waving a sign for hours is what I think a good way to spend time with. I believe we should protest smarter by fighting with facts and being more focused than just allowing intrusive and irrelevant directives take hold of certain causes.

Demonstrations are only useful if they're actually demonstrating something. If there's nothing actually threatening why should anyone take your demonstration seriously? This doesn't mean you need to be actually getting people in danger, but shit like stopping traffic and being disruptive makes a point where holding signs does not.

The undecided voters this year have really been deciding with a vengeance

This latest guy having a ton of Ukraine posts is probably also part of them being like "he's a democrat"- there's even a picture of him with blue hair
