I have been using some of the learning resources, specifically this one https://linuxjourney.com/. I hope the video recommendations are helpful to you but I am kicking myself for not adding “also I really hate watching videos and would prefer to read something” to my original post. I have not actually made the switch yet, I want to back up my files first. Bought a new external hard drive with enough space. It was nonfunctional. Had to send it back for a warranty replacement and am waiting on the new drive to show up. Will reply again if I remember once I actually manage to switch over.
EDIT: I haven’t forgotten this. They refunded me instead of sending a new drive, so that’s another wait period waiting for a good one made by someone else to go on sale…
!linuxupskillchallenge@programming.dev for people who that link is not working for. (I, personally, get a couldnt_find_post
error.)
Sometimes I have been told my links don’t work by some other people, but they work for me logged in and logged out. Wonder if it’s that we’re using different clients, and if your link would work for the people who cannot open my link successfully.
Also, what do you mean, OP, by “do you have perfect recall or an average human byte”? Are you thinking of information in terms of bits and that people can only keep a limited amount of things in working memory at a time?
In my opinion this comes off as just passionate about the subject, not as I AM RIGHT YOU ARE WRONG GO DIE IN A FIRE YOU DUMBASS YOUR CODE IS DOGSHIT BTW (yes, I may be referencing a specific harsh comment about a project I saw on Lemmy), but my perception could be very colored by your disclaimer about not wanting to come across as a dick.
What show is this?
I enjoyed this animation of the meme in the OP.
I think that would be a great situation to be in.
You have created a cool thing a lot of people use, by being good at something. You’ve done something.
Also, people have no idea who you are. Nobody is digging through your trash, harassing the people you love, taking pictures of you wherever you go including on your bad hair days, etc. You’re just some guy.

This feels like me wanting to learn Hare because I like rabbits, which I bring up because someone left this reply for me and I think it applies to you too:
That is such a sweet reason! Whimsical decisions like this can be some of the best. Life demands a bit of whimsy every now and then.
Hey, thanks for the suggestion! I was considering firing up a VM just for Hare, but thanks for bringing this option to my attention.
I was going to learn !hare@programming.dev just because it is called “Hare” and I like rabbits, but then I saw that I am not on a supported OS.
I find it very appropriate this post came out of lemmy.zip
If you’re like me and wondered what a dead key is…
A dead key is a special kind of modifier key on a mechanical typewriter, or computer keyboard, that is typically used to attach a specific diacritic to a base letter.[1] The dead key does not generate a (complete) character by itself, but modifies the character generated by the key struck immediately after.
I had a sad incident where I had committed changes but not pushed, and then I accidentally spilled a drink on my computer and bricked it. Even though this is unlikely to happen again because I won’t bring open containers like mugs or bowls of soup around computers anymore (water bottles are fine), and it was only three hours of work lost, because of this incident I do not feel I have saved until I have pushed. “What if you brick your computer again, huh, where’s all that progress now?”
But overall I agree about decoupling saving changes from actually publishing them!
Just curious: was this based off an existing song and if so, what is it?
I also don’t generally use Python as my primary language, but NumPy has pretty good docs in my opinion!
When I was in middle school, social media might have been omnipresent but even the really popular kids never exceeded 1,000 followers. In high school you could increase the upper limit on followers, but most people hovered around 250 to low 1,000s depending on their popularity. And I never heard anyone talk about their follower quantity, let alone insult people over it. I suppose this is my “kids these days” moment.
Then again, we all just had personal accounts for our friends to follow and weren’t trying to be some big influencer or social media star—maybe that’s what these kids are trying to do? Either way, I am really hoping what you overheard was just banter or an ironic joke between the two, and not legit bullying.
