I use Arch btw in c/[email protected]

I've been using arch since archinstall came out. I never installed it reading the wiki.

I sleep like a baby and everything works.

I'm aware of that identity. There's a good chance I misunderstood what she said about it being just a notation.

She did. She spent a whole class on about the fundamental theorem of algebra I believe? I was distracted though.

This very nice Romanian lady that taught me complex plane calculus made sure to emphasize that e^j*theta was just a notation.

Then proceeded to just use it as if it was actually eulers number to the j arg. And I still don’t understand why and under what cases I can’t just assume it’s the actual thing.

Can I combine multiple lemmy forums into just one thread? (lemmy.ml)
 

Basically the title. Wondering how to deal with duplicate forums from different instances.

Oof. Hard to say. I did it for so long and so early in life that I’m not even sure what would have happened had I not done it.

I don’t like mental meds though. And I don’t think any of them ever helped me. They have always either made me extremely risky behavior prone or just numb where the days blend together and months go by in the blink of an eye.

I was still a kid. At my first session I opened up hard. I spoke nonstop for the whole hour.

When I was walking out I asked them “now what?” And they replied “Now it’s a long battle”.

That stuck with me.

Internet forums are disappearing because now everything is Reddit and Discord. And that's worrying. in c/[email protected]

What are we going to do about it?

Quit whining about it and make a good community outside of those.

Be a good community member yourself.

I see myself coming less and less to Lemmy due to how monotopic this place is. And how aggressively stupid people here can be.

The counterargument to this is that it’s not wrong to make good choices for those who cannot make them themselves.

How do you guys feel about the Pomodoro Technique? in c/[email protected]

Mhmm. I’m doing 30x10 x3 + 30x30 x1. That’s 2 hours working every three. Been working wonders.

Do you guys read programming books? How do you make the most out of it? (lemmy.ml)
 

I've been coding for years in a multitude of languages, but other than one c class I had in college I mostly learned through osmosis, or learned new things as they were needed.

So my knowledge is honestly all over the place and with a ton of gaps.

I'm trying to learn rust and starting going through The Rust Book and afterwards I plan on going on Rust by Example and trying to code my stuff as strictly following best practices as possible.

Is that a waste of time? I mean rawdogging it has been working for me for a decade now. Should I just yolo and write what I wanna write in Rust and learn as I go?

How do you guys feel about the Pomodoro Technique? (lemmy.ml)
 

I've been trying it out recently to some degree of success, finding the right intervals was the hard part, 25-5 feels like absolute torture to me.

Is anyone else giving it ago?

The European mods actively said they don’t agree with free speech

Uno reverse them and tell them to shut the fuck up then.

Is there an easy way of having a vm with gpu pass through to play windows games ? (lemmy.ml)
 

Basically the title. I’ve only ever seen huge 20 page guides on how to make it work. Is there an easy way?

Specifically on Debian or Arch with a laptop with two gpus (zephyrus g14)

So, on pronouns. (lemmy.ml)

I have a few questions on how to best behave to be as welcoming and inclusive as possible without sounding bad. I hope you guys don't hate me.

I'm just a straight male. Are my pronouns he/him? Is that how I should tell people? Do you actually tell them as you meet them ? Do I have to wait for a certain social cue ?

How about online. Should I tell people or have it on my personal profile somewhere?

And about respecting other people's pronouns. How do i figure them out ? Is it a big faux pas if I don't before I know them ? Is it a faux pas if I refer to someone I just met and I assumed to be male as he/him?

I've never seen anyone referring to anyone irl by non conventional pronouns. Is it an actual thing or is it currently being pushed to make the world a more inclusive place?

I'd love some help with all of this.

Can someone give me a good rundown on how to keep my accounts safe but also not locking myself out ? (lemmy.ml)

So. I tried bitwarden for a while with 2fa. I absolutely did not realize that if you lose your 2fa you are done in that service. So yeah. Time to rebuild.

I'm attempting to go all in on proton stuff ATM. Drive, email, vpn and password manager.

What's the easiest way to set everything up in a way that the whole system is safe and that minimizes the chance of me locking myself out ?

Stuff like. Do I bother with 2fa? What are yubikeys. Are these the answer? Do I 2fa all.accounts other than the protonmail one ?

Long single use case passwords or memorizable ones ?

Do I do throwaway emails or everything signs up to my main one ?

Sorry if I overloaded questions. But id love go get insight from people with more experience.

Edit. And oh. Threat model.

Id love yo not lose accounts if someone physically steals one of my devices.

I'd love to not get hsckdd online by someone random that is not targeting me specifically

And in broad strokes. I'd like to keep all my accounts as private as possible from private companies and governments. But im flexible on this one if its too much hassle.
