  • There’s some hostile people abounding. Let them think what they will, it makes little difference to the sum of your day. I don’t expect you to respond again. I’ll respect you and your opinion just as much either way. But I hope that at the very least, you take some time to consider what you can do to help the people around you create the industries we need.

    I do agree that we needed to take drastic action in order to change the course of our country. In fact, I actually don’t like the tariffs because they’re not nearly drastic enough. The shift towards internalizing our needs should have come by empowering our people, rather than pushing away aid.

    It’s not a secret that trading internationally for 90% of our needs isn’t exactly healthy for our longevity; but you can’t take blood from a stone. The people need help to get to their next decade, their next birthday, their next check, even to their next meal for many. We should be demanding that the powers that be use their resources to create a workforce capable of doing anything, and facilitating itself. That starts with putting people to work, which means helping them off the streets so that they have an address to put on their resume at the very least.

    Have a great day.


  • Welcome to Lemmy. It sounds like you either come from a place of extreme privilege or you’re not actually sure how the tariffs will affect the people.

    The idea behind the tariffs is fine. They want to drive union Members (fun fact, did you know that that’s how the founding fathers referred to citizens?) to buy and trade locally. However, many of the products we use in our day to day life come from industries that don’t exist in the US yet, and it will take years to create the required infrastructure and factories and farm land in order to create those industries.

    Effectively, the tariffs would have been fine. If the US had actually been prepared to take care of itself. But it’s not, and it won’t be for a long time. So, the tariffs only exist as an extra tax right now.






  • for( int i = 0; i < 10; i ++)

    This reads as “assign an integer to the variable I and put a 0 in that spot. Do the following code, and once completed add 1 to I. Repeat until I reaches 10.”

    Int I = 0 initiates I, tells the compiler it’s an integer (whole number) and assigns 0 to it all at once.

    I ++ can be written a few ways, but they all say “add 1 to I”

    I < 10 tells it to stop at 10

    For tells it to loop, and starts a block which is what will actually be looping

    Edits: A couple of clarifications







  • You’re learning a new workflow, it’s gonna take a second. Don’t get discouraged, you’re just fighting habits from your old work flow, it’ll be buttery smooth once you’ve built new habits.

    That out of the way, you need to learn your hotkeys. Super+enter is gonna get you into a terminal by default, from there you want to get into your configs (check out /etc if it’s not in .config yet) to find your Sway config. That little dude is your best friend now, it’s your Options window from a desktop environment.

    I haven’t double checked your account, but I assume you’re the tiling/floating poster from the other day? In which case I would suggest doing some research into class and appid filters within the config, this is how you’re going to define windows to automatically float AFAIK



  • I actually don’t like this advice for this particular use case. The live session is gonna be sluggish because of the USB bottleneck which will make it look like the games run a lot worse than they would with a proper install.

    Especially since this person also is already Linux proficient, I would say just jump into a dual boot setup or wipe the windows partition momentarily. Sure, it’s gonna take a little longer and it’s a bit tedious to have to reinstall windows if you change your mind but I’d prefer a bit tedium over a poor benchmark
