Codewars is a cool leetcode-esque thing with less of the corporate dystopia sheen.

Sometimes the service freezes for me and cant be killed, requiring a restart.

For real. The main reason I switched to linux was because I was getting into progamming, and when I had to troubleshoot something on windows it was like half a dozen arcane solutions which might work, but the linux solution to the same problem was a terminal one liner. Maybe I’d feel differently if I was afraid of the terminal, but that’s one affliction I am blessedly free of.

Idk, I still think information wants to be free. If you figured it out just farting around, sophisticated malevolent actors are likely already doing similar things. Might be better to let the genie out of the bottle, so people can learn to be skeptical. Deep fakes are optimally effective when a majority still accepts the veracity of images as an article of faith.

Duckduckgo has a no javascript mode.

Thats actually not a terrible idea.

Cross posting from !linux@lemmy.ml because there’s a lot of expertise here.

What VPN do you suggest?

If also like to know what site this is so i can avoid it. I DMed you.

Thanks, thats a good idea. Its a terminal music player, perfect if youre the kind of person that just likes being in the terminal

It bothers me when OO doesnt stand for “object oriented”

Thats really awesome, wish i could find something like that in the states. Good luck!

Whats the learn/work program?

I started learning to program in February, which reinvigorated my love of computers. I discovered awesome new software like syncthing, and just recently started daily driving linix (debian 12) and its been great. Just little things like customizing my wall paper which i havent done for years. 2023 was a great year for me and tech.

Oh and i switched from chrome to Firefox, looks like that’s been a common theme for the year!

I started using powershell more because it comes with a lot of bash aliases out of the box. Besides a brief period of using ubuntu in like 2006 because my windows install got corrupted, its my first foray into linux. Ive been daily driving debian 12 and i love it. I feel like getting used to the lingo helped ease the transition.

But if you actually use powershell for more than simple tasks and take advantage of its object oriented nature, it might make the switch harder. If you plan to use the command line as little as possible i think the switch is trivial. Your biggest worry is going to be analysis paralysis with all the options, but i just installed debian with the defaults and trying out different desktop environments is really easy and i havent yet had a problem that wasnt simple to solve with a google search.

Im curious to check it out in case anyone wants to DM me an invite code.

got one! thanks lemmy

I never got into Spotify. Soulseek is all I need.

Thankyou!
