I’m not an anti-car person. I also understand that we live in the world we are presented with, and there is a significant systemic oil culture that is difficult and expensive to not consume. I just thought this photo was a little ironic.

You wouldn’t happen to be taking a picture of a screen from a gasoline-powered car, are you?
LCD monitors don’t flicker at their refresh rate. It simply updates the graphics on the panel per frame at an imperceptible speed. The backlight has nothing to do with the refresh, either.
Newer LED lights often flicker.

You’d be surprised how little math is involved in programming that doesn’t require it. A significant majority of programming is simply managing conditionals. For example: “when the door opens, turn on the light.”
Math comes into place when you need it, and hardly ever comes as a surprise. Additionally, solved problems are generally kept in libraries. For example, you don’t need to calculate a sum; simply tell it to calculate a sum for you, because this is a solved problem.
What you’re already running into is called “impostor’s syndrome.” You believe that you are not capable of something to some degree, even though reality says otherwise. You haven’t tried your hand at programming, so why worry now? You’re inventing problems for yourself before you even got a chance to start.
Just go for it and see what you think. If you don’t enjoy it, no biggie. If you do enjoy it, keep going. No obligations 👌
Like choosing to not buy a Lamborghini!
I’m giving them a little empathy because they are frustrated; that’s all. We’ve all been there.
Yeha, but you can ask for help without taking a shit on the effort of thousands of engineers.
I doubt OP thought, ‘I’m going to take a shit on thousands of engineers.’ It’s okay to not know what to do, including asking for help. If they don’t know what to do with “error 2,” they’re obviously lost. This unwelcoming attitude to newcomers is a big problem, and in my opinion, it’s probably best not to contribute to it.
You can rephrase what you’re saying and provide better help to someone who’s completely lost in a much more polite and informative way. It’s better for everyone.
Also, try searching web before crying on social media. If you can’t solve your problems by searching the web then GNU/Linux probably isn’t for you.
Sheesh, let them be frustrated already. Besides, asking for help is totally valid.

We would save a significant amount of money. And private insurance almost always doesn’t provide good healthcare. Imagine no copays or deductables.
How many Lemmy users does it take to change a lightbulb?
Saying you don’t need privacy because you have nothing to hide is the same as saying you don’t need freedom of speech because you have nothing to say
Exactly. Just be responsible and don’t do anything dumb with your security. Do the typical stuff right like using a password manager and updating your software often. With your programming, don’t skip ssl validation, don’t have unauthenticated connections that matter, don’t shell out, etc. On your local system, use permissions correctly, keep a local firewall, and all that good stuff. You should be fine, but it’s never 100%.

Oh interesting! I suppose I have just been very careful with /etc/fstab and I haven’t seen systemd fail this way. TIL! Thanks for letting me know!
That’s mean 😐
