Your disagreement is entirely in bad faith. You know damn well they meant as it relates to one’s identity.
Me, an American, looking at 17: “You guys get to live 21 days per year?”
If anyone demands I implement some feature into one of my open source projects that I either don’t have time for or don’t want to do, my response is one of the following:
But thankfully, my projects don’t have a very wide audience, so requests/demands are rare.
Personally, I found Arch to be difficult to get installed. I’m ok with command line stuff once everything is all setup, but having to use it for the installation process is something I found to be too easy to screw up and too time consuming overall. Also, I haven’t seen any drop of vanilla Arch with a GUI installer. For the Arch experience, I generally go with EndeavourOS since it’s easy to install, gives you lots of options for the window manager, and is easy to use once you get it up and running.
If you’d prefer the Debian environment, I think anything from Debian or any of its derivatives (Ubuntu et al) would be a decent choice. My favorite is Linux Mint. I’ve seen a lot of people describe it like “entry-level” Linux, but it’s very capable and user friendly. It’s where I tend to spend most of my time when running Linux and I would say usually requires the least setup since it typically just works out of the box.
There’s also OpenSUSE Tumbleweed if you feel like going a somewhat different direction. I get more “traditional Linux” vibes from OpenSUSE, but packaged up in a user friendly manner. I play around with it from time to time in a VM, mostly when I want to test out some new server package locally. But, that said, it’s still capable of handling anything else I throw at it, so it’s fun to use all the same.
You ever had a deep fried burrito? That shit is life changing and good enough reason for me to keep going.
Who let Bear Grylls in here?
I started out with blue switches years ago and they were obnoxiously loud, so I switched to reds and used those for a long time. Though, I kinda got tired of them and decided to give the Keychron banana switches a try several months ago and I’m absolutely loving them. They have a light tactile feeling, but they’re much quieter than Cherry browns. And a huge bonus is that Keychron keys are hotswappable, so if I get any bad keys or feel like switching to a new type, no having to deal with soldering to replace them.
This is really nice. I’ve been using Mint for years and didn’t know about it.
If you really need some nightmare fuel, some of us use c++ every day and even enjoy it.
In my experience, those things tend to be forced by project managers who believe the highest law of the land is proper scrum. Unsurprisingly, this makes all the devs miserable with no way to change anything because “this is just how it’s done”.

I do see a decent amount of activity on it. Full disclaimer, I am not a security expert. I know just enough to be dangerous. But, I see at least a few connection attempts from different IPs about every day. The top 3 countries of origin are China, Russia, and Brazil (based on the reverse DNS, but it’s possible some are using VPNs to hide their origin). My impression is they’re all bots that just go through a list of IP addresses, attempting to connect to the standard ssh port, then guessing the username and password. What I’ve found is they usually go through a list of likely ssh ports until one of them connects. Having the default port open to only the honeypot means they usually establish the connection, then leave it at that, so my real ssh port never gets hit. I kinda think of it like scambaiting, where I’m just wasting time they might otherwise spend trying to break into someone else’s real ssh server.
I have https open along with a non-standard port for ssh. Just for fun, I have the standard ssh port open, but redirecting to a Raspberry Pi running a honeypot. It’s fun to mess with foreign bots trying to access my network.
Listen, I’m on a Zoom call with my cult elder planning our next orgy. Can you make this quick?
With this character’s death, the thread of prophecy is severed. Restore a saved game to restore the weave of fate, or persist in the doomed world you have created.
I could be misinformed on this, but I’ve heard some countries outside the US have huge upcharges on things like peanut butter for no other reason than marketing it as a luxury ingredient. But, there could be more to it that I’m not aware of.
As an American, I’d agree to a certain point. It is sad that foreign language skills are not terribly well emphasized in the US, but finding instruction in languages you might want to learn can be challenging depending on the language, unless it’s something common such as Spanish, French, or German. I work on my language skills using online resources as much as I can, but I’m also an adult with a full time job, so finding time is also a challenge. Also, unless you’re surrounded by people actively speaking the language, it can be exceptionally difficult to build those skills and hang on to them for very long. I know a little Danish, a little Russian, a little Finnish, a little Greek, a little Japanese, a little Mandarin, but lacking the ability to immerse myself in environments where those languages are spoken, I’ll likely never get good enough to speak any of them anywhere close to fluently aside from knowing a few phrases at best.
And to your point about how language learning should be mandatory, it’s a nice idea, but when I went through school, it was mandatory to take at least one language course. I took French in high school. I didn’t enjoy it and don’t remember a damn bit of it. Most of the kids I knew took Spanish. Nearly all of them also didn’t retain any of it. So, it’s more than just making instruction mandatory, schools need to get kids genuinely interested, otherwise none of it will stick.
