the purpose of life is to progress entropy.

oh I bet the Phosh folks will be keeping an eye on this.

Yeah, as long as you get a phone that supports usb-c 3.0 or higher, you can get one of those powered hubs that charges your phone and has a gigabit Ethernet port.

A lot of others are commenting some great stuff. I would like to add, knowing how to program is less about knowing the specific syntax of different commands, and is more about knowing how to work with functional groups and logical paths. Once you get that down, moving to another language then becomes learning the syntax and quirks of the new language.

So, any language is a good starting point, a lot of the skills you learn from it will be applicable to lots of others.

personally, I started with Basic, then C by way of microcontroller and robotics programming.

yeah I’d say an entire culture being effectively genocided and starved is a tad more important than having to take an extra bus between your trains.

I thought it was a fairly solid OS up until about 20.04, then it started getting wiggy.

I used it a little way back in 2005-2006ish, and decided to give it a try again after a third reinstall of ubuntu within a year last year.

though, I’m about to get a “new” laptop and may toy around with Arch on the old one. I had previously tried setting up Arch in a VM but that’s not supported and ended poorly.

I don’t know about everyone else, but the last couple of years has had the most unstable Ubuntu releases, with the most unrecoverable releases when issues happen.

I’ve since moved to Fedora for desktop and straight Debian for server.

what’s the model number? have you checked out postmarketOS also?

this leads to the question: are they still considered a moon when the barycenter is in the space between them?

I mean, yeah. Laptop keyboards are basically a solved science these days.

that’s a pretty bog standard laptop keyboard.

it’s alright. I’m not sure if it fits within what you consider ergonomic but it’s a fairly decent laptop keyboard.

I mean, I’ve got an old IdeaPad flex 4 running Fedora pretty well. As long as it has DDR4 and more than 4 GB of ram then you’ll be fine.

yes, I don’t pay attention to or care about PewDiePie specifically because of that Nazi shit he did, that I mentioned above.

the reason I dont know is because I been touching grass instead of gluing my eyes to popular let’s players and talking heads.

did he do more Nazi shit after that time? and uh, where did I say he wasn’t a Nazi? I didn’t.

yeah I had been wondering about that. has he done more nazi shit since making people say “Hitler was right” and Holocaust denial shit on fiver?

hmm, yes. this program is made of program.
