Kit Sorens@lemmy.dbzer0.comto No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Why do US teachers have to ask parents to bring basic school supplies?English1·1 year agoThat’s a smoke screen. Another is the “liberal brainwashing machine” school system scare. What they fear is the statistic that higher educated individuals trend towards populism and progressivism. They see higher education of youths as a threat to their political base, which turns into “spineless parents sending kids to liberul brainwashing camps funded by the gubmnt.”

Kit Sorens@lemmy.dbzer0.comto Ask Electronics@discuss.tchncs.de•I sort of left the hobbyist electronics world back in 2018, and now everything seems to have an embedded Raspberry Pi in it. What's the best way to catch up?English1·1 year agoIt’s not that you can’t make a more efficient device without it. Hell, if you wanted to impress people, you can absolutely populate a board with IC’s and traces and build your own logic.
Orrrrr you could spend $45 to get a full GPIO header backed behind a vast online electronics community. Tbh pi’s, arduinos, and other ARM core hobby kits give you a root skillset to base any project on. Once you can get logic through your code, there’e no need to figure out wire logic if you can program based on I/O and software variables. But it -is- a different skillset that you’ll need to learn to use it efficiently.
Kit Sorens@lemmy.dbzer0.comto Vexillology@lemmy.world•Today (October 24) Zambia celebrates its independence day and the adoption of its national flag. The flag is notable for the uncommon choice of having the emblem on the flyside.English1·2 years agoIt definitely struck me that the emblem chosen in this manner is a bird, meant to represent an oppressed colonial territory now freed. Maybe they chose it so that the animal reprisenting Zambian freedom is far removed from the yolk of its origin? Or maybe someone just didn’t tell them it was the norm or why 🤷♂️
Nerd culture and LGBTQ culture are very closely related. Probably thanks to furries.
I’ve been sent from the superfuture to stop YOU, with the help of your multiverse self.
How about an awful shambling corpse of a book that’s trying to extend the story from a satisfying ending because the publisher wants more books.
