It may be because I have all history turned off, and I run a pihole + ublock origin.

Since I started using a privacy respecting browser and moved to GNU/Linux, my whole life is captchas.

So bizarre; foods like this already exist everywhere. In india they're called far far, in UK chinese restaurants they call them prawn crackers, in Mexico they're chicharrones de harina or duritos, and if you don't have access to any of these options where you live, you can literally just fry rice noodles or spring roll wraps and they'll puff up. So why the toothpicks?!

Wow, that sounds cool!

Invidious. It's to be expected for something like that though.

To be fair, the ternary operator can get messy.

Why not try simple scripts at first? You could write a little script in Bash, JS, or Ruby to create folders or text files. Besides the very basic stuff I did on the high school robotics team, my first programming project was when I worked as a print broker and we invested in a digital press. I needed a program to calculate the cost of a print job, so I learned a little BASIC and wrote a program on my TI-98 to do it for me. It would ask a series of questions (eg - paper cost, single / double sided, color / black and white, how many imposed on an SRA3 sheet, etc) and spit out the cost of the job.

As for how you use the code, say you write a ruby script; to run it, you'd navigate to the script directory in the terminal and type ./scriptName.rb to run it. If you're using a compiled language, you'd compile it (your lessons would cover how to do this) and then you'd run the resulting binary the same way.

There are lots of older KDE apps that could use some TLC.

QOwnNotes. It's FLOSS, customizable, native / performant, offline first, and uses plaintext so there's no lock-in. I switched from SimpleNote when they started screwing self-hosters.

This looks great! I've been using Dsub for ages because it supports streaming via DLNA to my Hifiberry device. I'd love to find a 100% FLOSS app that also has this feature.
