Remember back when Ubuntu put ads in the dash? I do (~2014) in c/linuxmemes@lemmy.world

Are the ads in the room with us right now?

Edit: I thought it was obvious that this was a joke, my mistake.

What are the best resources for getting started with hands-on electronics and robotics? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.ml

If you're wanting to practice soldering, and build a small, cheap project at the same time, I'd recommend cheap project kits from Aliexpress (there are probably equivalents on Amazon). Do projects that are through hole soldering first, before attempting SMD components.

There are plenty to choose from and they're cheap, so if it doesn't work then it doesn't matter much.

There will be plenty of Youtube videos of people putting these things together if you want to know more.

Have fun!

Well then, they don't sound very nice over there.

How do I stop from over sharing/being too deep to new coworkers. in c/autism@lemmy.world

To add to this: take notice of how much they are sharing back. If all they are saying are acknowledgements (e.g "Yeah", "of course", "I hear that", "wow, that's crazy") then they aren't really with you in the conversation. The dialogue has become a monologue.

Up and down votes are not a "agree / disagree" button. They are for dis/encouraging posts. You can upvote a post you disagree with but can see that it is useful for the discussion.

The most likely scenario is that the person with first-hand knowledge misinterpreted the situation.

Exactly. Which is why I started with questions so you could explain more. That's how a conversation works and prevents it from getting toxic.

These poor men and their sensitive feelings…

Case and point.

Were they ever actually being critical?

Yes, they write satire. They can't be responsible for Poe's Law.

Better. I'd rather work with reality than endlessly chase fantasies which I'll never reach.
