I've used Squirrel a bit ages ago and it worked quite well. Similar to Lua, but OOP and more C-style syntax.

I'm surprised Lua isn't working out for you, though. It seems like such a simple language. Although I just admit I've never used it before.

While I understand the feeling, mob justice like this only undermines the justice system and should really be prosecuted.

On the other hand, it probably would not be too difficult to find a sympathetic jury and he does not appear to be seriously injured, so assuming the charges aren't just dropped, I would expect a plea deal for something like community service, as well.

I can't remember the exact timeline of events, but early on it was reported and assumed to be IDF, while others claimed it wasn't. Reports got walked back until there were more details, and now it's generally agreed that it was probably a Hamas rocket that exploded or something.

So I think the press may just be a little more careful with how they portray things when there is only one source or they are reporting on what other news organizations are saying. You know - like they should be doing anyway.

Or maybe the media learned not to point fingers until there's better evidence after that whole hospital debacle where everyone picked up the story without verifying the details.

Ya, that's why I started using wireless. First because the charging port failed and was the only way to charge my phone and now with my new phone so that I don't wear out the charging port.

Things that happen on twitch, youtube, etc, don't seem like "technology". Just because it happens on tech doesn't make tech.

I might be in the minority... I'm just saying 😊
