If we’re talking about programming language guides in particular, following a guided introduction to a new language was helpful to me, when I was introduced to new concepts and perspectives. And Rust is the best example in my case. Personally I probably would’ve struggled more and longer in practice without learning about ownership, lifetimes and borrowing in theory first, because it’s an essential part of almost anything, even strings, and yet it’s not too difficult to understand in theory.

But at the end of the day, you can start rawdogging it and use the Rust book or any other guide, when you’re facing a roadblock. If you do so, please share your experience.

It is a problem worth solving. Terrorism is a problem that needs solving and killing all people on earth is a solution. The next question is whether or not it is an appropriate solution to the problem.

I’m tired of seing the same superficial content everywhere in general. I just accept it and try to quickly scroll past them.

It has a Linux-based OS that you can SSH. You can install community-maintained stuff with Toltec. The Awesome Remarkable is a great overview.

However for 3rd-Party software and more general features, even with the openness, it doesn’t come close to Onyx. In general, the remarkable is more focused on distraction-free e-reader and note-taking capabilities. And honestly even being part of this target audience, if it wasn’t for the affordable replacement offer, I probably would’ve rather looked into other e-ink devices.

It took a bath in ice tea for a few hours and it suffered even more when I stupidly connected it to the PC before I saw the wet folio and bag. I probably would’ve looked into other alternatives, too, if I didn’t receive a replacement offer for ~130€. I love it, but it does have many faults, that for some people may be unacceptable for the price. But that seems to be the current state of e-ink tech in general.

I bought the Remarkable 2 about two years ago, but since I had to get a replacement, I guess it counts. I love the e-paper’s magical feeling in general. Remarkable in particular amazes me with the openness e.g. giving me SSH access to the Linux-based system. I wish they’d focus on customization, tinkering and stability, but unfortunately that doesn’t seem to be the case.

I’d tell them the truth, because it’s unbelievable on its own. Maybe I’ll add some obvious lies to make the truth sound even more ridiculous.

Honestly, I sometimes fear that I live in a more extreme Truman Show, where everyone can read my thoughts and plays along. So yeah, kinda?

I don’t ignore, re-gift or discard any gifts, at least not immediately. But it’s extremely rare to satisfy me with a gift. It only happens when they know exactly what I’d have purchased myself in near future or if the person behind the gift means so much to me. Other than that, I prefer to not receive any gifts at all.

Because a lot of people live in countries where “so many people will just straight up murder everybody who doesn’t share their politics”.

Every time I see the example of people used to Twitter complaining about Mastodon’s UX and UI, the experience of using the Twitter app and the constant struggle of figuring out whether the non-sense anomaly you see is a bug or just a feature to keep you locked in is becoming an even more painful memory…

I’d rather die. But while we’re at it, I’ll make it my goal to get everyone to vote against me. The world will at least have a taste of unity against a common enemy for once. It shouldn’t be difficult anyway.

You can be interested in a subject without loving everything (/anything) about it.

More variety than AI hate here definitely sounds nice. But a broad term like “technology” is more likely to attract the big trending topics, that are most likely hated.

I often get dreams about watching the movie and being disappointed.

Those I watched:

1. Pulp Fiction
2. Django Unchained
3. Reservoir Dogs
4. Inglorious Bastards
5. The Hateful Eight
6. Jackie Brown
7. Kill Bill 2
8. Kill Bill
9. Once upon a time in Hollywood

We don’t celebrate Christmas. It took me very long to realize that there are children who actually believe in Santa.

I see. The first response to a pro-vegetarian/vegan comment is usually about the harm done to other organisms that we can’t avoid. Thus I wanted to clarify in advance that my goal is not the ideal world, but a world where we at least don’t eat what we wouldn’t kill ourselves.

Oh, I remove the default upvote, because I don’t see the point of it.
