Maybe if you understand why people react like that, you can be more than just frustrated about it. Most people know that it's morally questionable to eat meat, but they do it so often they'd have to consider themself evil to accept that. The alternative is to just double down on it and exclaim that the non-meat eater is the baddie for pushing their beliefs on people. You can notice it when you just subtly bring it up and the way people overreact.

Tailwind feels like CSS i have to re-learn. It's maybe slightly easier? mostly it just makes my html unreadable to the point i barely know what's going in anymore. I don't do much frontend stuff but i'm gonna go back to plain old CSS for my next project. It all sounds good in theory, but in practice, tailwind has been more work rather than less. I feel like i put a fair amount of time in understanding how everything works too.

It just really feels like one of those things that makes little difference but i wasted way roo much time on trying to give it it's fair chance.

Not the onion?

You may call me Computer God. Or God for short if i deem it acceptable.

is this one of those "tech bros bad" takes?

/remind me in 10 years

I'm just a bit disgusted by the concept. Like McDonalds gives the slightest shit about sick kids or whatever. But i don't know the actual impact or reason they do it, i just distrust it.

Well precisely. But how can you expect them to become willing if you just hurl insults back at them. They will assume you are exactly the person you think they are and isolate themselves further in that community. I'm not saying fight hate with love, but no progress can be made without a willingness to communicate.

Do you think society would get to the point it is if everyone just wanted more power for selfish reasons? I think it's more to do with the feeling of fulfillment that comes with responsabilities. Helping people feels good, even when you get nothing in return. Unless you expect something in return, then we're playing a different game. But your outlook on life seems pretty bleak my friend.

It depends what you want it to do. For basic stuff, linux desktop works fine. If you need specific software i'd look into if it's doable and how hard it is first.

Linux by default runs fine and without issues, if you pick a distro with stable releases. If you go with something like Arch, you likely will run into issues. If you want to do heavy modifications or run fancy software, you tend to run into issues. Thing about the fancy software is, it tenda to only work properly on linux, hence the issues being linux related.

If you're a gamer, just don't. A lot of people here will say you can run almost any game easily, but you usually need to do some fancy commands per specific game to get it to run properly. Which is fine if you just play one game occasionally, but if you hop between games or like buying the latest games, don't.

If you have a specific preference for desktop environment, make sure it comes with the distro and is well supported by it. You can install whatever you want on any distro, but you have more chance to break shit.

I'd go with Mint or Ubuntu for your first try.

Sounds like coping mechanism to me

People dying because of border fuckery again, dude set himself on fire and we here unironically talking about the correct way to name a profession. Time and a place, person. this aint it.

i thought we stopped doing this "i spell bad therefore dumb" shit back in 2010

I just got banned from blahaj for suggesting we should show understanding to rightwing people, because they view the left in the same way as we view them. It creates more division for no reason other than being unwilling to communicate.

Reason: Bigot

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

There's a certain amount of fundamentals you need, after that point it's quite easy to hop languages by just looking over the documentation of that language. If you skip those fundamentals, you end up with a bunch of knowledge but don't realize you could do things way more effectively.

My recommendation: check out free resources for beginners and skip the atuff you already know thoroughly, focusing only on the stuff you don't know.

source: I'm self-taught and had to go through this process myself.

"Fish" is racist anyway. Putting them all in the same boat like that. smh

Let's make a point that has nothing whatsoever to do with the original point so i can maintain my bullshit opinion.

Oh yes, let's pick on the weak programming languages because haha funi

I use both linux and windows. I am power user. Linux cannot do all the things i need it to, neither can windows, but at least we have WSL and VMs. Try setting up a passthrough GPU just to play a game on linux. Then try setting up an AI application using docker for windows.

I get it, we all wanna root for the underdog, and linux certainly has it's place, but i am so done seeing this "windows bad linux good" bs

Not at all what i said here or in the post. I speak from experience on this, there are a lot of people being influenced by the extremists that can still be communicated with. This attitude is exactly what i'm referring to as well. You put them all under the same umbrella, which, if we keep doing this, will only make the problems for people on both sides worse.

I don't mind the ban much, I can just make another account. But I think it is representative of an issue larger than Lemmy.
