Mint was my first used, was straightforward and easy to get going. Still use mint.

I’ve always read it doesn’t really matter what distro you choose, just to pick one you like. That’s confusing to a noob because they don’t know why they should or shouldn’t like a specific one.

Mint is very simple to setup and works very much like a windows PC by default. Can even set it up to work like a Mac if you want to.

Yeah and YouTube joined in a while back with image and text posts

You’re exactly right. I didn’t read the article yet, but you can build a to do list app in a handful of minutes if you know your way around. I’m still green as a coder, but have been through dozens of tutorials, one of which was a simple to do list in JavaScript. I managed to complete it in about an hour. Seeing that someone thinks it takes weeks to do, that makes me wonder about them.

He said “Yeah we can all see thru them like my cousins underpants”

From my understanding, there’s no reason whatsoever to do this besides censorship, for better and for worse. There’s a possibility good, and I’m sure the good would happen, but there’s an even greater possibility it would be bad for users which would surely happen.

Can you elaborate for on this for simpletons like me? I’ve looked at raspberry Pi’s before but have no idea what I’m looking at or for because of the options.

To be fair, I’m on the fence about this reason. I really don’t like for a good show to get ruined after a long run. I hate for a good show to end, but I like it to end while I enjoy it. I’m usually okay with a series only running a few seasons. However, if the quality stays up, yes, please make more!

IS IT CAKE?!

Same bro, same.

Thank you!

Hey man, so Linode worked after a long time wrapping my head around how to get things up and running. It was a huge learning experience, but the “fewer options” all over the dashboard helped steer me in the right direction. As my first successful deployment of an app it isn’t much and there are issues, but I’m really proud of what I’ve accomplished! Take a look at the cat app I’m working on! I probably don’t need to tell you this but don’t enter personal information in the chat, it is not secure. nostchat.ddns.net

I’ll look into this, thank you! I didn’t look at a vps (I had to Google what vps meant) but I’ll check it out!

I kept pushing with azure and I got pretty far with it, but I hit a snag when running az webapp up because I kept getting errors stating my app name already existed, or Id get a “forbidden” error if my app name was too unique

My first was an HTC Merge in 2011. Looked very similar to OP’s phone, but had dedicated capacitive buttons on front for home, back and recents.

I loved having a keyboard. Still have the phone here somewhere, power it up for a nostalgia trip sometimes

We have to survive on something, and at the very least we choose the least-sentient thing we can find to eat. Plants do have a nervous system, but they don’t have a brain. Or a centralized brain, anyway.

We don’t know if plants can feel pain, but we definitely know that plants respond to damage

Then that’s not a good reason. “Because it’s good” doesn’t justify the kill. For survival? Sure, I’d give that a pass, even though I’d defend myself. I would understand the situation. And people have done this.

If you have this “no-kill” stance for animals, you need to have it for everything, including insects. I’m not saying you don’t, because I don’t really know, but I do know that’s often overlooked or ignored.

A life is a life.

Like I said, why you do it and how it’s done matters. What’s your reason for killing me? For this discussion of course.

We are animals engineered to eat meat. It is natural for humans to do so. Killing an animal has nothing to do with morality. How and why it’s done does

Come on, guy, are you farming for an argument? You aren’t helping your case by being abrasive

You hunt it. Not as a sport. Give the animal a fair chance, and even then it’s not a fair fight, so be thankful for what’s been provided

Eating animals isn’t the problem, necessarily. It’s how the animals are grown and raised like crops is the problem. I have a weird stance on this that looks very contradicting. Humans are animals, and we are engineered to include meat in our diets. However, I don’t agree with how the majority of us access that meat.

I’m a strong believer in hunting for food, not sport. If you’re going to eat an animal, you should work for it. And be thankful. Doesn’t matter what beliefs you hold, you owe thanks to what the animal has provided you.

Meat farms are disgusting. But there’s no way they will ever go away. They’re much too profitable for companies to give up.

I would have probably landed somewhere besides reddit. I considered and tried 3 different options, (Lemmy being the third) and stayed here because I was very pleased by the beehaw community. And it’s very similar to reddit, which made the transition easier.

I’m doing my best to ditch reddit, and haven’t used it since they announced the API pricing

I love his videos, especially the video about his toaster. I’ve actually spent time trying to find that exact toaster at yard sales

Thanks! I put it here because there wasn’t a coding space to put it. But I’ve updated the link, the other one was a little old. Now the Pokemon make sounds! (Their recent cries, not the older ones.)

Idk I’m near pulling my own hair out because my son is naturally always contrary and has to cut me off mid-sentence finishing it with completely wrong or unrelated info. Granted he’s 7, but he should be getting better, not worse!

You’re a hero

celebrity of the century!

And I hear you!

Glad to know I was here and did my part by reading this post. We couldn’t have succeeded without me!🫡

My experience signing up involved no pain at all and I personally liked having my application screened. I had access within an hour or two, it wasn’t a complicated process and I chose beehaw because of it’s community

It seems pretty easy to understand signing up, from my perspective. The hard part is understanding how everything is connected

I don’t think it’s dead, just dormant right now. It kicked up a looot of buzz and got a lot of attention, especially from bad actors and govs. I can see it getting big, again, I just don’t know when.

This is awesome. What are you coding it with?

The only real advantage I can see is they would be another mass of users on the fediverse, which is what we want I suppose. I mean I do want it to be populated, and if more people migrate, it ensures survival of their community. I don’t like how we have all scattered to the wind, but it’s their choice where to go

Same, but I refuse to give them my traffic.

I don’t believe this theory 100%, however it is true to some extent. At some point, ai language will plateau out and simply won’t get better. Once it’s at it’s max and has little to learn, they will be so human-like it won’t matter if it’s learning from itself. The percentage of influence would be so infinitesimal it practically won’t matter. At that point it wouldn’t be necessary to learn anymore, anyway.

We aren’t doomed to write like ai, different themes or stories require different nuances. It’s artistic. But it depends on the medium. Sure, resume’s, cover letters, memos, emails and whatever may become robotic (aren’t they already?) But creative stories won’t, to a great extent.

Lol.

Yes, but if you fire a spez from a canon into the sun, but no one can see him enter the sun, then does he actually get harmed? No one knows, especially if he never returns!

Blast from the past woooow

This is just me, personally, but I hate Reddits stance on the API situation about AI learning, and how it’s not profitable to offer the data for free. Excuse me, the data doesn’t even exist without the users. I get we are all data-harvested, but to completely pull the rug like this is unforgivable. I mean the TPA’s were the only way I interacted with Reddit. For me, it’s not about the ads, the money or anything, it’s deliberately killing the TPA to drive their profits up. I mean fuck, I’d pay a subscription to access reddit if it kept TPA open. But nah, gonna act like they earned my data and are entitled to it, no thanks.

This is probably a dumb comment, sorry. I can’t word very well and I don’t usually get out what’s going through my head

Cool, I think I’ll do the same. I wasn’t popular or super active but hey, doin’ my part

Oh, I didn’t know this, I appreciate the insight. I have been working with typescript a bit, but sidestepped back to JS for a small project because of familiarity. My next project may be typescript just to get a feel for it.

I have heard a lot of buzz about rust, but I haven’t looked it up because I don’t want to overwhelm myself with new things. But it does seem very popular. And I doubt there’s anyone, even people unfamiliar with code, who hasn’t heard of the C family!

I’m not giving up JS, since it is so popular for web development, but it does make me sad that it’s so inefficient for other tasks in comparison to the other languages. Butz it also makes me kind of excited to get into some of the meatier stuff
