No intrusive ads or trackers. Less AI slop and more genuine human interaction. The ability to easily block communities, users, and instances is nice too.
And it’s safe to say Luigi here

besselj@lemmy.cato Ask Electronics@discuss.tchncs.de•[Solved] Looking for assistance figuring out how to fix this connector.English4·9 days agoIts a JST type connector I think. I bet if you check digikey (or whatever supplier you use), you’ll be able to find kits for replacing the connector and its pins. Looks like the silkscreen labels on the right edge of the board below the connector show the pinout order.
Edit: on second thought, that labeled pinout may only be for the through-hole solder points. Safest bet would be to just identity the wires and solder them accordingly, rather than mess with the connector.
As with most things, it depends on where you look. In general though, there appears to be less open misogyny in the physical world. Especially since cameras and microphones are a lot more prevalent. People aren’t as likely to say misogynist things when they know that their job/reputation is at stake.
