Un mio amico è partito un po' di anni fabper l'Olanda con zero conoscenze di computer eccetto averne montati un paio, ha incominciato a fare IT per le aziende mentre si guardava filmati su youtube per risolvere i problemi che gli capitavano e pian piano ha imparato. Nel frattempo ha preso lezioni di programmazione e adesso gestisce la parte software di una startup. Ovviamente devi trovare una situazione che favorisca questa cosa e in Italia ahimè ce n'è poche.
In my mind, I've made it abundantly clear what I want.
Every sentence that starts with "in my mind" is not objective, therefore there is no fault in a faulty translation by the interpreter. If you want to be understood, you can either try to be clearer or give up on the responsibility of being understood. And if you give up on that responsibility, you cannot complain about the outcome of said communication.
You're either not paying attention, or not focused on me enough to hear what I'm saying
This is an extremely narcissistic way to view relationships: if I'm not focused on you it means that I
A) have something more important to think about
B) I have not understood the gravity of the situation and that can be corrected
Of course if I think something trivial is more important than you it might be a problem, but this is hardly ever the case
now I'm mad enough that I fear I will start an argument if I need to spell it out again
Not talking about it is a wonderful way to start a bigger, heavier argument later
I mostly watch guitar luthiers on youtube nowadays as a background for when I do stuff like washing dishes and such, so I don't want to listen to people yelling.
My favourite channels are twoodfrd and Doug McCormack for this reason exactly: they're laid back, constructive and polite
If you need a FOSS, cross platform GUI for bootable USB sticks, Raspberry Pi Imager is a really good solution.
It is mainly used to flash SD cards for RPIs, but also you can burn any ISO on any support with it.
If I were you I'd split just the bills and groceries.
If you'd break up someday (God forbid), the property is still gonna be yours, so there is no point in making her pay any kind of rent.
There's a thing in movie writing that's called the suspension of disbelief which is the mechanism of being involved in a story by "what do I have to believe in order for the movie to make sense".
SW3's premise is the classical hero's adventure, where the main character undergoes a journey of betterment. And in this particular case, if you already are the best there is no journey.
John Wick's premise is "this guy is going to kill everyone" frome the minute one, you just sit down, switch your brain off and enjoy what he's doing for the next two hours.
It's not about the sex of the character, is about how the character is written.
You can't really compare the two movies, John Wick takes the route of being so over the top to the point of becoming funny. I don't think they were aiming for that with the new SW trilogy.
I could say, "If you aren't addicted, then just quit."
Did anyone actually tell you that 1 beer a week is too much? Because it's not a real case scenario in my mind.
And even if they really did it's probably their own problem, and you don't really have to defend yourself for doing that.
In any other case, if a person tells you "hey, tone it down with the booze" you probably should.
Since less techy people tend to use more the mouse/touchpad anyways, I would pick a hard-to-mess-with desktop environment like Cinnamon or Gnome. With KDE, XFCE and such you can screw panels really easily if you don't know what you're doing.
Slap Debian under it and there you go
