As someone who's bought many RPi-like boards and clones let me tell you: Minor differences in price/performance are unimportant. There's another factor that's so much more important it makes boards like the Beaglebone

This is disingenuous considering there's plenty of Lemmy servers that aren't federated. Just because a thing supports federation doesn't mean it must be federated. If Revolt supported federation it would be trivial to ju

This is something I learned about a long time ago: The Billboard 100 is not actually a list of which songs are played the most. It's a list of which songs produced by a certain subset of record labels that happened to be played a lot

I think they're suggesting that young children--in their critical (mental) periods--can somehow turn gay or transgendered due to exposure/normalisation of gay and trans people. Except there's no science to back this up. All t

My biggest problem with the official Reddit app is the inefficient use of space. I've been using Reddit is Fun (RiF) for many years now and moving to the official Reddit app feels like having desktop zoom permanently enabled. Aside: T

Eating food out of a plastic container isn't going to increase your microplastics intake (by enough to matter). Those kinds of plastics are too stable to be a problem in that regards. Even if you left your food in them in the fridge

What the heck are you talking about? The only flexure to speak of is within the load cell itself and... Can you even call that a flexure? It's a teeny tiny strain gauge mounted on a piece of steel that's going to bend ever so

This is how the market for scales works: You buy a scale for the weight class you're planning on measuring. For example, you can't buy a scale made for weighing humans and expect it to be useful for weighing herbs or jewelry. It
