Off My Chest
RULES:
I am looking for mods!
1. The "good" part of our community means we are pro-empathy and anti-harassment. However, we don't intend to make this a "safe space" where everyone has to be a saint. Sh*t happens, and life is messy. That's why we get things off our chests.
2. Bigotry is not allowed. That includes racism, sexism, ableism, homophobia, transphobia, xenophobia, and religiophobia. (If you want to vent about religion, that's fine; but religion is not inherently evil.)
3. Frustrated, venting, or angry posts are still welcome.
4. Posts and comments that bait, threaten, or incite harassment are not allowed.
5. If anyone offers mental, medical, or professional advice here, please remember to take it with a grain of salt. Seek out real professionals if needed.
6. Please put NSFW behind NSFW tags.

I hate that LLMs have fucked my ability to find decent documentation. The Internet is done for. I'm learning to garden and do basic electronics from text books now.
There's an anti-AI filter for uBlacklist
I don't know anything about gardening, but for electronics I can recommend practical electronics for inventors and Atari "the book." Its focused on arcade cabinet repair but definitely has useful info for basic circuit troubleshooting that is aplicable today.
I've been reading Practical Electronics for Inventors and watching the MIT courses on YouTube.
Also picked up an Arduino kit and started tinkering, but I'm more interested in circuitry and not coding. My 6-year-old wants to build his own Moog synth because he's obsessed with Daft Punk and I gotta support that.
Haha that's dope. Great taste at an early age
Hopefully not text books that were published in the last 2 years because those risk being written by ai too.
We've reached the carbon dating limit of human knowledge since nothing can now be varied as written by a human unless you personally watched them do it.
It helps to set your search parameters to include results that are older than like 5 years.
