learn programming languages
if you already know some basic coding (for example you learned python or javascript) and you’re already familiar with basic concepts like what a variable is, a for loop, datatypes etc etc and you wanna learn a different programming language, you probably went crazy from only finding beginner level tutorials of a few hours long explaining how a variable is just like a bucket when you’re just trying to learn the syntax for this specific language. (unless i’m the only 1 with this issue.)
if that’s you, you must check out:
they have tons of languages where each language has like a 2 paragraph introduction and then a short file with all basics for the languages syntax. I came across it and thought it was absolutely amazing. I hope others can enjoy it too. It might not teach every complex part of every language but overall it really does a good job teaching the basics of the syntax assuming you already know basic concepts.

I opened an issue in the Google AI Edge Gallery repo asking them to publish it on F-Droid, to make it accessible to more people:
Would the app be app be able to be published on F-Droid or Izzyondroid?
There are many people who can’t or prefer not to use Google Spy Services and the Play Store, for privacy reasons, because their device isn’t capable of running Spy Services, or because it drains device resources, and publishing it on F-Droid would make it easier for everyone to access the app.
Publishing it on other app stores would make it more accessible to more people, and would be in the spirit of Google’s focus on inclusivity, and Android’s goal of being an open platform for everyone.
Absolutely pathetic.
Hello all !
Hope you are all doing fine. If you are a member of linuxsucks101 thank you for being part of this wonderful community. I wish you all a prosperous new year free from the atrocities and trauma of the linux operating system. It goes without saying that we here keeping aside the troll posters and agressive lurker downvoters are part of a counter culture. A minority amongst the tyranny of linux mainstream propoganda. This has resulted in our sub recieving unwanted attention from these groups who make it a point to infiltrate our subs simply to get banned and then post the ban message as a trophy of some sort of internet vigilantism and victory of free speech.
Not naming any subs but there is a particular one whose sole purpose it to denigrate and defame this sub. While our criticisms of linux is often restricted to linux as an os and the overall behavioral patterns exhibitted by its community while using both psychological and metaphysical approaches to explain why both the os and its community is prone to their stupid behavior and how it is no accident, they on the other hand seem to take it very personal resorting to name calling, strawmanning, personal attacks and even wishing some of us get doxxed. All of this is unnecessary and totally unwarranted.
Personally I am not affected by their panderings since much of the heavy lifting when it comes to keeping the sub clean of loonixers comes down to my other mod whose help is invaluable in retaining the sanity of the sub. I try to do my part too but the constant barrage of these evangelical and “akshually…” comments are tiring, boring and taxing on the soul. A honest conversation is simply impossible with a die hard loonixer because fundamentally their values are metaphysically incompatible with yours. Their worldview and understanding of reality is founded upon an unrealistic fantasy, an idealism that does not exist and cannot exist. Let me tell you an imaginary story, a totally hypothetical situation that I think very neatly explains this metaphysical divide.
Picture yourself in this scenario - the aftermath of a nuclear explosion in which you find yourselves in some underground bunker. No internet, no tutorials, no wikis. All you have is the data that you have hoarded for yourself. Your friend had cut his hand very badly from the debris of the blast that fell on him and it is upto you whether he gets to keep his hand before it gets infected and loses a lot of blood. You know nothing about an emergency medical procedure like this but you know that you have hell lot of videos of medical procedure stored inside your archives since you are an avid data hoarder. The bunker thankfully has a computer but it boots straight into the bios because the explosion probably had shaken the hdd so bad that its pretty much gone. Luckily you use your drive with all your data and plug it into the sata port. But there is no os to play those mp4 files. While panicking you search the accompanying desks and inside a cardboard box you find two usbs - one named windows 11 ltsc and the other called arch linux.
Now close your eyes and take a deep breath. Keep aside your foss activism and Richard Stallman quotes for a while. Keep Linus Torvald’s angry reagebaits in the kernel mailing lists aside for a while too. For once in your entire lifetime please try being completely honest with yourself. Lets be real. On one hand you have smooth hyperland window managers, anime girls on your desktop, matrix letters raining on terminals, music visualizers visualizing some unheard song and on the other hand… you have your friends life. As a human being with desires I can understand the appeal of the former. However as a human being also in posession of a soul you know deep down that somebody has to save your friend.
You give in to your impulses and plug the arch linux iso into the usb, within 10 seconds you are inside the linux chroot. Your can hear your friend moaning in pain and when you glance over you can see that he’s losing a lot of blood probably having cut an artery. You panick more and turn back to the monitor, hands shaking, sweating profusely as you ask yourself in this low shaking voice : “Was setting the locales the first step or the second one ?”.
In that moment something happened. Something snapped and it caused you to freeze your whole body amidst still hearing your friend crying in pain. In that moment you realized the true depravity of your predicament and it makes you feel such intense shame. You realize that all your life has been a facade, living in the illusion thinking that memorizing fstab arguments signifies true intelligence and self awareness. That regurgitating metaphysical idioms created by somebody else completely disconnected from reality was somehow an act of a God.
The cursor in the monitor is still blinking but it is no longer the focus of your attention. In fact there no longer is a monitor but a mirror that reflects not your body but your soul where you see in 1080p the uncomfortable truth behind your masquerade. You violently pull the arch linux usb from the casing and the monitor goes to black. A sigh of relief washes over you and you put in the windows iso.
That decision saved your friend. He is alive and still has a hand and gets to play osu every friday. But most importantly that decision saved you, it saved your soul from eternal damnation in the worst pits of hell.
If this story does not resonate with you then this sub might not be a place where you want to spend time. I might even politely request you to mute this sub and remove all of its traces from your feed. You can rid yourselves of the knowledge of our existence and move along in blissful ignorance.
Now coming back to business there is some administrative changes happening to the sub as a resolution to manage the evangelists and non friendlies. This includes but is not limited to :
The restriction on the usage of the word linux in post titles and comments. The word shall be replaced by “loonix” or any of the appropriate synonyms available that gets the term across. Failure to do so will result in the the comment automatically being removed by the automod and repeat offenders being manually permanently banned alltogether from the sub.
I am deeply sorry for the inconvenience this causes to legitimate users who want to just express their traumatic linux experiences but desperate times like these require desperate measures. I believe this method will be effective in weeding out both try hard as well as subtle pretentious linux evangelists.
Thank You.
NEW CHANGES. IMPORTANT ! PLEASE READ

That story was so detailed 
And somehow, he booted into Windows, and suddenly his friend was better.
And because he compared Arch to WIndows LTSC, that means that overall Windows is better.
they on the other hand seem to take it very personal resorting to name calling
Thankfully, r/linuxsucks101 doesn’t resort to such behaviour.
They’re just focused on
overall behavioral patterns exhibitted by its community while using both psychological and metaphysical approaches to explain why both the os and its community is prone to their stupid behavior
And making a rule in a sub that you have to use swap out a word for an arbitrary replacement that you like better, or else your post will be deleted, is totally very normal.
And. And. And
Even with this terrible news, I will still sleep tonight.

The main thing is that his friend recovered and can continue playing games for the rest of his life.
Maybe dying is just a windows update

I found a really cool site called bookstation.com
Warning 
THIS SITE IS A SCAM! VIST AT YOUR OWN RISK!
Basically the way it works is that it has thousands of pages that are useless. They inject the same words over and over in a way that makes search engines/AI pick them out
I guess the point of the site is to get you to click and then to give you one of those “Your computer has been hacked” popups. I don’t know personally because of my filter/adblocker
Similar concept to a lorim ipsum genarater?
I guess but it puts the words in ways that makes search engines really like them. Check out the picture I posted

Lol, I like that you can make up to 69 partners, it looks quite ridiculous (the options for name source are also pretty funny)

Now some of you probably understand how ugly it feels to argue online and:
- people like the opponents’ comments instead of yours
- you’re convinced you’re right, but the other side just isn’t getting it
- it feels like everyone’s out to get you
- it feels like everyone already agrees, yet somehow the argument keeps going
- you start wondering if your stance is technically… kinda dumb
- you feel embarrassed arguing in public
- you’re waiting for it to turn personal any second
- you’re annoyed some “thanks, not needed” closes the topic before you get the last word
- you worry people will label you an extremist over this topic
or whatever flavor of internet misery applies.
Where does this come in?
It doesn’t.
Just saying.
We kept the conversation civilized and expressed our opinions
Didn’t do that
Don’t know what that is - wikipedia says Ad hominem refers to several types of arguments where the speaker attacks the character, motive, or some other attribute of the person making an argument
Didn’t do that

They definitely matter
Google dorks are the best!
I am addicted to see what people make and do, take this google search for an example.
site:lovable.app "admin dashboard"
I can change the search to whatever I want, and see what people built, mostly not private but just intersting.
