I switched like ten years ago because I wanted to learn the details, but in all honesty I still feel like I barely understand anything. Not sure how normal this is, maybe I'm unusually dumb, but I feel like what I've really learned is how to troubleshoot and solve issues by reading documentation and tinkering, rather than understanding what I'm actually doing. I've had a stable system for years but I kind of feel like if a typical arch forum poster looked my system configuration for five minutes they'd be like wtf are you doing.

Hi! I feel overwhelmed with getting started and would like a pointer on a resource I can use as a jumping off point. I've made efforts in the past using wikibooks or reading written Spanish media then running through a translator, but I never really made significant progress beyond learning a tiny bit of vocabulary.

I imagine that once I get even just good enough to read and string together basic sentences it will be a lot easier to make progress, it's the baby steps I've had trouble with.

I've been paying one euro per month for posteo for almost a decade now.

Idiot here. When I use the command pacman -Syu jdk-openjdk, I still get the error:

error: unresolvable package conflicts detected
error: failed to prepare transaction (conflicting dependencies)
:: jdk-openjdk and jre-openjdk are in conflict

It's identical to the error when I just do pacman -Syu normally. What am I doing wrong?

Edit: I just removed the jre-openjdk package then updated normally and everything seems fine.

Eh, Lemmy turned into another reddit months ago when reddit banned third-party apps. Any changes since then are insignificant in comparison.

He was clearly hoping that Shinichi Mochizuki would post an insightful comment on Inter-universal Teichmüller theory.

My experience with post-covid symptoms was really nasty and the doctors couldn't diagnose me. I actually wrote a big lemmy essay on it like seven months after it all started. I'm not sure how to do cross-instance comment linking, but here is the lemmy.ml link.

I use geany for coding in LaTeX, and occasionally teaching myself some programming stuff when I have free time. I'm aware it's not a great choice for experienced programmers, but I don't really need something feature-rich and extensive, so I appreciate the simplicity.

I think we had the basics covered early. Too early maybe.

I basically had my sex ed delayed a year or two from the other students because as a fourth grader I would mostly just tune out when the teacher started talking.

I remember thinking that surely Duke Nukem Forever would turn out awesome once it's finally finished. After seeing the reception I just decided it wasn't worth checking out.

There's a feeling of panic that sets in when you really don't want to hear the alarm and realize you had better rush to disable it before that last minute counts up.
