Ive ways hated phones without the 3.5mm and won’t stop even if all phone manufacturers remove it

TL;DR: Smart sibling ahead of the curve told me in 2011 that tech jobs will be the future and naturally I didn’t listen, fast forward to 2016 and my contract job laid me off so I started learning Python (as advised by smart sibling)

I start making all sorts of stupid stuff mostly CLI programs, beginner alg problems. beginner alg console games and so on.

Suddenly I realize I probably know enough to make something real, start slowing learning new things and always think “hmm a real software dev probably does x” and then try x.

Went from CLI stuff to web APIs, then full stack websites, then platform specific gui programs, then learning C++.

And at some point it clicked that this stuff is a lot easier than I thought (I had literally no concept of what programming was before)

I apply for an associates in tech program, just before starting I decide to use Linux to get more familiar with dev technology.

I picked Arch Linux btw, had some issues btw, overcame issues btw and then I landed a job during school as a dev and I kept using Linux as dev.

So it was mostly about getting to understand dev landscape more

I use CachyOS on my desktop (I game), and Arch Linux on laptop (by far the best laptop user experience with tiling wm)

I’d say CachyOS there is a learning curve but if you know these windows terms: registry, batch, sfc /scannow … then you already have enough technological know how to get started with rolling release.

My advice for gaming on Linux is to have a seperate hard drive where you store things you care about (including games) so you are able to wipe everything in case something goes wrong.

I’m on x11 so I guess I’ll have to find out tonight if it works or not

as of when ? using what method of using discord, browser or the electron app? ? under x11 or Wayland?

I know there’s dozen ways to screen share but I mostly care about discord and discord screen sharing doesn’t work on Linux, curiously enough if you get obs to create a virtual camera of whatever you want to stream it will stream it flawlessly. Use the default way of streaming anything and it craps out

Yes, but CS2 is cheater riddled and deadlock announced an AC that to my knowledge we don’t know much yet.

Sc2 is also cheater riddled. Valorant has kernel AC.

Which games are those ?

my friends started saying “Linux moment” whenever I have an issue with anything so naturally insay “windows moment” every single time their game crashes or they “need to reinstall graphics drivers”

oh no! it’s [insert excuse] not windows!

People really don’t give a shit about stuff like this. see: Amazon, Instagram, Facebook, Whatsapp, Youtube still being popular just to name a few.

We’ve created this hell for ourselves

Getting banned is stupid unless you’re actually trolling, but temp bans are quite alright.

I’ve gotten perma banned on reddit for very tame views, I once criticized ff14 in the ff14 subreddit. never again I guess.

That’s not to say I agree with whatever ban you got, I don’t know what went on or if it was right. Just advocating for temp bans.

Pretty much my experience on shrooms except not about ADHD but the heavy feeling of relaxation
