Proms were around for ~50 years before we started seeing “promposals”, where guys would ask girls out with 3 minute-long choreographed dances in the middle of the quad for the whole school to see & record for social media. I’m not saying it’s stupid to put effort into asking someone, it can definitely be cute, but it can also be ultra cringe if you take it too far
Guess I was just too excited to be more descriptive lol
My post was slang for “we’re getting a lot of great announcements during this direct” but doesn’t look like people understood 🤷♂️
I know Gnome is in your less important list, but Wayland is in your important list, so I’ll recommend KDE Neon. It’s Ubuntu without snaps and moronic auto updates, so it really just feels like a more desktop-ready Debian
Contrary to what CNN says, 4chan is not an alt-right community. In fact, most of those idiots have left since 2016.
If you give it a chance and check out a range of boards, you will find it’s fairly diverse. Like any other online community, it comes down to finding which boards suit you best
Idk if this has been proven, but I’m certain that the current desktop versions of Office apps are just Electron-style wrappers for the web versions. I switched from Windows to Linux about a year ago and have found the web apps to be perfectly sufficient
Audiobooks from your local library 🤓
Maynard Ferguson absolutely rips

You say you’ve always loved to learn, but really it sounds like you’re more of a completionist. You’re more interested in succeeding in the academic rituals (taking tests and getting good grades) than learning itself. Aka, you’re extrinsically motivated, not intrinsically. Extrinsic motivation always leads to burn out eventually.
Perhaps reevaluate whether you’re going to college just to get some degree that will make you employable (as we do in the US), or if you’re actually interested in learning about a specialized field. If the latter is true, reevaluate your major and maybe see if you can switch to something that interests you enough to motivate you intrinsically.
PC games, just don’t feel like making arbitrary code execution a cakewalk for internet strangers
Retroarch is solid after you take some time to configure it to work exactly how you want it to cuz some of the defaults are a bit weird
See if your qBit container supports mounting scripts to be run at startup and just throw in a sleep 60 or whatever
Is it really more expensive in today’s horrible housing market?
The spike of interest in mental health over the past couple decades (in the West) has certainly been a net positive, but an unfortunate side effect - one that is true every time science becomes trendy - is that technical terms get grossly misused/overused. Sometimes it’s malicious, like someone exaggerating a self-diagnosed condition to get out of work; other times it’s benign, like someone using a term which they genuinely think they understand but the reality is only half so. If you recognize someone as being the latter, just try to ignore it or gently guide them to better terminology; else, if they’re being the former… well that’s more complicated, but just don’t be a dick about it because that’s never changed anyone’s mind
I’m also amazed at how the Neon QA team (if one exists?) missed the fact that the update broke the Shut Down button. No worries, I can just shutdown via KRunner - oops, that doesn’t work either anymore
Absolutely, v1 is the easiest Switch version to jailbreak. You could do it with a piece of foil or a $5 jig from amazon.
Not sure if you mean Switch ROMS or retro console ROMs, but a jailbroken Switch plays both, you’ll just need to install RetroArch for retro games.
You sound like you’re a bit new to software engineering/computer science, so I would stick to MacOS. Linux as a Desktop OS is not quite a pain-free experience and you’d likely run into issues that would get in the way of you learning programming.
What people mean by MacOS and Linux being similar is that they are both Unix-based, which basically means that the command-line experience in both OS’s is pretty much the same.
Explaining Computers is kinda close to what you want. He mainly focuses on using Raspberry Pis and other SBCs as everyday computers, and these devices typically run Linux.
Flatpak is fantastic for end-user GUI applications
Flathub is also great, but the fact that it’s really the only repo that flatpak maintainers are using concerns me. I know I’m dreaming, but I would love to see some sort of federated or P2P hosting
Wow you just shined a ton of light on a problem my company had. We wanted to implement a medical imaging system from one of their subsidiaries, and it took an average of 3 months for the salesperson to respond to EACH of our emails
