Yes, the same one they spent the last year making!

I’m sorry, but this made me cackle out loud

The first thing I ever did in Python, after the obligatory “Hello World”, was to follow a tutorial to make a simple task tracker web app. Then I made a small routine to edit Excel files. A few months later I was getting paid to write Python code (and yes, I got lucky as shit, but my point is that it was easy to keep going as soon as I just got started). Just start making things, it doesn’t really matter what as long as you enjoy it. It will be useful. Follow tutorials, look stuff up online, you’ll absorb syntax without cramming it. You’ve got this!

I’d rather accidentally stumple onto pain olympics or lemon party than accidentally stumble into a black mirror episode

If anyone irl asks, I’m “trying to learn how to use Linux”. Which is technically true, I still learn new things all the time!

They started selling user data and integrated AI

10€ extra total, 8 extra for Tidal instead of Spotify and 2 for a paid email service.

But that’s not an entirely fair comparison, Tidal is a better service than Spotify, and there are plenty of free email providers to choose from.

I already saw this Black Mirror episode

I have never internally facepalmed harder in my life

Gotta love it when people who have no understanding of how Linux works writes laws about how Linux should work…

Did we have the same mom? I wish I could give you a hug, sis!

Gardening is awesome, by the way! What are you most looking forward to planting / doing in your garden this season?

Big ooof!

Wow, opposite issues! Bazzite worked out of the box for me, but Ubuntu was awful. I spent several hours just to get my wired internet to work, threw every fix I could find at it, eventually fixed it with a modprobe, used it for a few days and decided that Ubuntu wasn’t for me.

I hope you’re right! I saw something flashing by about the UK suing Steam over price fixing, with the threat of enormous fines or being banned if they don’t pay them. Steam has many flaws, but I believe the world is better with them than without them.

I believe that it’s specified in the architectural reference framework that it has to re-validate every session, to ensure that the token hasn’t been revoked. I’d be happy to be corrected, though!

I wouldn’t mind some moderation, but for the love of god I hope countries won’t block Steam over this. I have so many games there, and I can’t remember the last time I bothered to read a review.

I haven’t had any issues with my nvidia GPU. I did some distro-hopping and didn’t have any nvidia issues in any of the distros I tried.

If you want everything to work out of the box, I would recommend Bazzite. Pop! OS had me using the AMD image and fetching the nvidia driver manually (the nvidia image just didn’t work for me). After that, everything worked brilliantly.

Same experience, it has worked flawlessly for me too!

God, I feel that!

My mother was scared that anything I liked might be harmful, so getting her to let me enjoy my games and music in peace felt like a win. She wouldn’t feign any sort of interest, so if she asked a question you knew it was a threat.

In fact, I was almost 30 the first time either of my parents asked a genuine question about my favourite game of all time (that I spent literally thousands of hours playing). I was almost too shocked to answer.

I mean, I get that kid’s stuff is boring, but I feel like if you can’t take some kind of interest in your kids you shouldn’t have any.

Rant over. Sorry, I just wanted to say that you’re not alone!
