Try conduwuit instead of Synapse if you get stuck. For me, it was really simple to install and the dev is really nice.

I got a Matrix server set up with conduwuit but the problem is that none of my friends are on there so I don't use it. The one friend I made the damn thing for so we could chat just started going through a bunch of personal stuff so now it won't be used for a while. FML.

I really think that starting a project you're not ready for will result in a finished piece that you hate to look at. Not to mention the headache of not knowing what's going on. That's not what I would want for a beginner to go through during a huge project.

Unfortunately, as a beginner, you really should start either with something more plain or something smaller, like a washcloth. I would recommend a washcloth with some complicated stitches so that you can practice and also get an idea of how motifs stitch up.

You could move on to lace work or a more complicated shawl from there if you're feeling adventurous. I know it's not great news, but after you get some more experience with fancier stuff you'll be ready for the pattern you linked and it will come out so much better.

This should be (at least) project 15 instead of project 5.

Aw, that's not great. :( I'm sure you can still have a good time though.

There are probably some "day in the life" YouTube videos from people in the professions you're interested in if you're into that kind of thing.

~~They sell the hardware at a loss and~~ initial adopters are more likely to be able to find an exploit that allows the console to play pirated games. If a Lite comes out early enough, there's hope that it might be exploitable.

It's my understanding that the Steam Deck is not performant when it comes to running Switch games via Yuzu/Ryujinx so it would probably be even worse with Switch 2 games, which are probably more taxing to emulate.

All that said, I have a Switch Lite that I share with my wife and I like it. There are so many companies you're "not allowed" to buy from according to Lemmy lol, I don't have the time for that. Almost all publishers are ass, should I never buy a game again?

Edit: As pointed out, Nintendo consoles are not sold at a loss.

Ah. I guess electives are just for fun then? Do they even have them? I hope they do, since my electives were some of the most fun I had at university (because I hated my major).

I'll probably wait to see if there's a Switch 2 Lite (or whatever) for $300. Maybe it'll include a game too.

If it were me, I'd major in accounting or physiotherapy and, if possible, minor in a language (probably Mandarin).

I'm sure you'll have enough electives for a language minor if you're dedicated to it, but sometimes there are other fun courses that you want to take more, like abnormal psych or some cool topic in literature or an intro computer science course.

If you don't like what you're studying, don't be afraid to change your major. It's not the end of the world and you'll probably be happier.

You're welcome. Hopefully you don't have to deal with security deposits any time soon. :3

For anyone interested in weird retro movies, the photo is from Valley of the Dolls, which I recommend.

Security deposits are a type of refundable fee where a tenant pays a specific amount (often many hundreds of dollars) to a landlord to "ensure" that they don't damage a residence while living there. If the residence is damaged, the landlord keeps the deposit. The term is derived from contract law where "security" just means a way to make sure that a party to a contract meets their contractual obligations.

There are many instances where a landlord illegally keeps the deposit over damage that was either already existing or minimal (also referred to as "wear and tear" damage, which is expected when you live somewhere long-term), so OP is calling for the courts to determine the extent of damage to prevent landlords from taking advantage of tenants.

In some jurisdictions (like the one I live in), security deposits and most other related deposits such as key deposits (i.e., a refundable fee paid to obtain a key to the residence) are completely illegal in order to eliminate the possibility entirely.

Hmm, I guess if you're happy with the output here that's all that matters. For me, the visual elements look really uninspired and mediocre. But if you're still in the startup/iteration stage then I suppose the unfinished look makes sense.

I guess it's a good place to start? Maybe? Depends if the code is easy to maintain. I was more interested in how you feel the AI adds to your existing coding workflow, but maybe you aren't a professional programmer? I am getting the impression that the AI is doing most of the work here but maybe I have the wrong idea.
