  • I think i am ready to switch from windows and need advice

    Jump

  • First pick a desktop environment, currently KDE, Gnome and Cinnamon are the best.

    • Gnome: Opinionated design like apple
    • KDE: tons of options.
    • Cinnamon: A bit fewer options than KDE but still a lot.

    All of them are very robust and have a massive user base.

    Then pick a base to operate on. Fedora, Ubuntu and Mint are all good options.

    • Fedora and Ubuntu are good for newer hardware and 99% of the time just works.
    • Mint just works all the except for newer hardware.

    Nvidia GPUs are not a big issue but you have to install the proprietary driver yourself for best performance and fewest bugs.

    My pick for you is something your friend uses if you have a friend on Linux otherwise Fedora KDE or Kubuntu.

  • How far back in time can you understand English? This site goes back by centuries allowing you to test yourself.

  • Exactly, Icelandic is basically old norse with a spelling skin and different vocabulary. Most people take an least one class which involves reading old norse like Hávamál. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/H%C3%A1vam%C3%A1l?wprov=sfla1

    How similar? Here's the first stanza of Hávamál translated by me just now. All the words are common. Other places like Snorra Edda is also easily readable although Snorri used less common words so there's more vocabulary to memorise like "röðull" for sun and "gumi" for man.

    Gattir allar, aþr gangi fram, vm scoðaz scyli, vm scygnaz scyli; þviat ouist er at vita, hvar ovinir sitia a fleti fyr[b]

    Gáttir allar, áður gangi fram, um skoðast skal, um skyggnast skal: því að víst er að vita, hvar óvinir sitja á fleti fyrir.

  • As a person that is native Icelandic speaker, took Danish in school and speak Dutch it was really fun. I whish they kept going so it becomes more like Icelandic again.

  • What are some of your favorite songs in a language you do not speak?

    Jump

  • Fuck I just discovered Kneecap from the song "Get your Brits out" that was featured on the show Guinness. They did a collab with one of my fav drum and bass artist Sub Focus with "No comment" and it's an absolute banger.

  • I speak/understand Spanish, Icelandic, Dutch, Arabic and German but I ended up listening to Estonian music for a bit and they have some bangers there.

  • AI makes you boring

    Jump

  • 100%, at my work we use AI for a lot of stuff but I literally just finished a task where they AI couldn't complete it with a simple prompt. The code was absolute horror show and asking it to fix it is beyond most people since it's terse and needlessly complex.

    To finish the task I had to use my experience and rewrite the shitshow by writing function signatures and have the AI do the implementation based on simple requirements such as using a set data structure etc.

    The AI just tried and failed 10 times before I gave up on it. AI absolutely sucks at a lot of stuff but it's still been a massive time saver for me personally.

  • switched back to KDE and don't regret

    Jump

  • Looks good, I'm going to try it out. I've almost good a complete zero mouse setup on my computer and i only use it for websites. I go as far as to use the terminal to connect to BT headphones and to play/pause music.

  • I'm really interested in a tiling VM such as hyperland but I really like all the features of KDE. The latest release is absolutely massive and comes with "Save current theme"

    Jump

  • Yeah, but the landscape is pretty harsh for AA games right now. They could easily milk the IP they already have.

  • Is there a way to make money as someone with autism?

    Jump

  • I personally went to uni and got a programming job but I'd also have liked becoming an electrician.

    If you can study, learn a trade or do an internship without losing your SSI then I'd suggest that. You'll get started on a career without making money that way. If you get hired from an internship or apprenticeship you'll have made it way past whatever the SSI was.
