Mine have tiny screws on the bottom that hold them in place on to of the right fit. Might check to see if yours do too.

This is why i went to Linux. This stuff needs to stop.

1. college doesn’t teach much.
2. college is still useful tho. It does require some determination and persistence to get through, or at least tolerance for dealing with. “This is the way to learn” junk.
3. most actually useful knowledge is gained on the job
4. I think most people fresh out of high school aren’t ready for a real job, but college grads are barely ready too to be honest. Hyper generalized and i bet most people reading this are actually very qualified, that said I’ve met many college grads interning with us who just don’t have the fortitude to do it just yet, hopefully by their second job they’ve grown accustomed to the dumb way of life we all call work.

Yes, but also… It’s true. Browsers are the number one way folks get viruses.

But s-expressions give you power that other syntax doesn’t. Data and code as one. Besides there is no other syntax than simply that so it becomes much easier to remember random extra things.

Whitespace on the other hand, I hate with fiber of my being.

A year and a half? Basically when hyprland got good enough. I used to use awesome and needed something with similar pretty features.

Been remodeling a house that we just bought and this has been a my experience as well. I just enjoy making things. Software, home automations, wood, anything. The joy of building. I think that’s what it is.

Id suggest rust, gets you a step closer to the hardware and a bit of a different paradigm than Java while still feeling high level.

Tell me your a developer without telling me you’re a developer

While that’s true, all the things they built are individual and open source, it wouldn’t take too much work for sometime who knows how to package things up for a phone app. That said, you’d need another device to do all the processing.

No lisp?

I’ll be honest, I’ve used scribus some and have not liked it. I hope that this makes it better. I much prefer a local Foss program to being forced to run a VM for publisher or make stuff in canva.

I’d just start with using M-x and describe-function or describe-variable. That way you start to learn what various things do and then just use like (setq name-of-variable) to change things. That’ll get you a long way. Once you are more comfy, work into those keybindings. What distribution are you using?
