Dude what

We just found a sex trafficking pedophile ring with ties to the white house, Russia, UAE, UK and many more country leaders and you are concerned about Steam? Fuck you, you’re part of the problem.

Idk

It’s more of an efficiency thing for power users. And it’s on by default so in that sense the issue is not the function, the issue is the default, and that’s up to Microsoft.

Das war auch meine Überlegung - ist doch nicht schlimm, vielleicht sind ja leckere Sachen dabei, dann soll er’s doch machen. Stimmen ihnen da vollkommen zu Frau Reichelt.

I think that’s awesome that you’re trying to learn.

Linux only indirectly has to do with programming. Linux is an operating system, like MacOS or Windows. An operating system is basically everything on your PC that’s not the apps, so the desktop, task bar, start menu, settings menu, … are all part of it. And of course a lot of stuff you cannot see because apps need a lot of ground work to function properly.

First let me say, you should bother. No matter if it clicks for you or it doesn’t, trying something new is always a good idea.

If you want to get into Linux, you can install it instead of windows / MacOS on one of your devices. Make sure to backup all your files beforehand of course. Then you download an ISO from a Linux distribution (the flavour of Linux you want). if you just want something that works, Linux mint is one of the most straightforward ones. You download a “.iso” for that. Then you use a tool like “Rufus” and a USB stick, and put your iso file on that USB stick. After that, you plug that into the PC you wanna put Linux on, reboot, and look for the USB stick in the boot menu (different on every PC). And then you will be guided through the installation of Linux mint. After that you should be done and when the PC shows your new Linux mint desktop, you are done and you can unplug your USB stick. So much for Linux.

Getting into programming is a little bit less of a process, and more logic puzzles to understand how code works. I would recommend you look at an easier language, for example python, learn the basics of that and then set your sails on an intermediate project. For example a Webserver can be a cool one.

I know Lemmy hates AIs but I also gotta mention every time you wanna learn something, ask AI all the small questions. I personally like the free Claude AI; especially when you start out with a new hobby an AI will be helpful 99% of the time.

But most of all, do it for fun, stop when it’s too frustrating, just keep going and stick to it for a while, everything else comes with time. You’ll quickly see if this is interesting to you or not, and I hope it is :)

Very interesting. I like it, though I’m sure West Taiwan is not happy about it.

The goblin part is free right? I regularly enter goblin mode because I can afford that :)

I am woman’t and I feel empty as well, I wonder how much we have in common.

That looks awesome ngl

Ok that means there’s a chance this doesn’t get passed. I hope it doesn’t, this bill is stupid and dangerous in an insidious way.

Yeah what is this shit

There currently exists no solution I am aware of that is enforceable enough and privacy preserving for age verification.

We are banking on this being non-enforceable. Great. Why are we doing this again? Fuck the people who wrote this bill and those who voted for it.

I mean Cybersecurity through AI seems very promising and all but OpenAI is desperate af, they will just take the next half-baked pivot they can find to build some hype. No one should take their word for it.

Tbf at this point it’s well earned. The Republicans are still not switching positions about Epstein, the 25th and other things and their voters sure as hell did, so one can only conclude the more cynical position, that is, there is so much corruption it takes more than an elite sex abuse ring for the Republicans to finally do something.

Ein Humor so platt da freuen sich die flacherdler.

Nuzlocke tourism

I kinda want one now

You should be proud of yourself indeed

I’m an IT guy and I get mad anxiety with anything soldering, welding, …

I am incompatible with anything less digital than a PC so I got mad respect for this sorta stuff.

Non-binary PC is just a quantum computer innit?

Yeah not great, and confirmed now I guess

? That’s the video title and Laurie wired is pretty established, there’s no evidence of AI use.
