What this word mean: "hacking"?
It's what they make hacksaws for. Just head down to your local hardware store
@LORDSMEGMA@sh.itjust.works you mean there's a store like appstore for hardware ??
@url@lemmy.world
Yes! Think of it like an appstore before the internet except much smaller and you had to get up and go to a physical location.
Typing. Try monkeytype.com
@obscure0602@lemmy.world so mastering typing is the first step to becoming a master hacker ??
@url@lemmy.world
I mean, the term ‘hacking’ is derived from “hacking away at the keyboard” so yes.
