Of course. It is/was my favorite purely based on the design of the front page.

I was like that once. I solved it by quitting my job for a less stressful one.

Any particular languages?

I’m a guitarist myself. Piano is certainly up there on the list of skills I wish I had.

I’m a hobbyist programmer myself. I’ve picked up a few languages along the way, and by far the best approach I have found to learning is a simple but real practical use case. Find the smallest task you want your program to do, break it down into even smaller subsections, and then start to figure out how to transform it into code. It usually takes less code and knowledge about a language than you think.

The internet. Web2.0 made everything worse with trackers and three companies running almost everything.

Broadcast: dropping leaflets from an airplane

Sounds like your circle is growing apart. It happens. In this particular case, some personalities have grown enough to not be compatible with some of the others.

I’m not good at situations like these, so I don’t really have a solution for you, other than accepting the fact that your circle of six will soon no longer be six. Stick to the ones who are still reasonable, and with time the toxic ones will either remain so among themselves or will push away the part of the group that is more in line with how you’re perceiving the social dynamic.

Create a linux mint install USB. When you boot from it, you’ll be in a fully functional linux OS, without installing anything. This way you can try it out before making a commitment.

Although a recurring recommendation is to install linux on a second PC to try it for a while.

I just grab whatever gets a scene release on my preferred piracy site, provided that it does not involve superheroes or something else that has saturated screens for the past 15 years. And when I find myself on an airplane I look through what I have on my portable USB drive and pick something, mostly at random, because I like knowing as little as possible about a movie before watching it, to the point where I consider trailers to be spoilers.

There’s this group that provides Christmas meals for people who otherwise wouldn’t have one. Homeless people et al.

It’s pretty cheap and easy to donate - send an SMS to a number and get billed a small sum on the next phone bill, and the cost is enough to cover said meal for two people.

My work phone bill is sent and automatically paid my employer, so I make sure they donate to the same cause. I’ve been doing it for years and to this day no employer has gone on the record not in support of the cause.

It’s not so much paradox endorsing piracy as it was them not caring and thus releasing it without any form of DRM or even install features beyond copying files. This meant that grabing it off of someone else was just drag&drop from a network share, and then double click to play.

Similar attitude by the HoI devs caused me to buy HoI2 and every new release after that.

Just hope your school bully doesn’t find it.

Destiny Potato - Addict

Great song
Great buildup
Epic guitar solo

EDIT: Seems my suggestion is somewhat popular, so in case it wasn’t already known, the entire album, Lun, is amazing.
