gollark: It's weird, because back in 2017 or so I think most phones, or at least a lot of them, had removable batteries. Now basically none do.
gollark: That's good. We need phones which can actually be repaired. Ideally swappable USB-C ports, screens and batteries with actual standards for multiple phones.
gollark: I've managed to avoid C and assembly so far and am happier for it.
gollark: It's probably better to work on simple projects than try and memorize syntax or something though.
gollark: <@257937060655136779> Programming isn't really memorization. You may need to do some of that, but the hard part is the complex problem solving.
