nah, one is never to old to learn stuff.

a tough, but hands-on start would be something like https://www.theodinproject.com/

it’s a free course for web development and their material is really good, so even if you don’t finish it you’ll aquire some good fundamentals about programming.

sadly that does not match your language preferences, but a lot of knowledge tends to transfer or helps to understand different approaches.

you could also try a course like Introduction to CS and Programming or other university/college courses. they are meant for people who start without programming experience.

sure, if the limitting factor in a case like this would be the speed of computation and not slow IO than implementing the computation in another language would be a viable way to increase performance.

And no, I have not tested it because I don’t know how I’m actually supposed to do that.

depends on what you backup and how.

if it’s just “dumb” files (videos, music pictures etc.), just retrieve them from your backups and check if you can open the files.

complex stuff? probably try to rebuild the complex stuff from a backup and check if it works as expected and is in the state you expect it to be in. how to do that really depends on the complex stuff.

i’d guess for most people it’s enough to make sure to backup dumb files and configurations, so they can rebuild their stuff rather than being able to restore a complex system in exactly the same state it was in before bad things happened.

it’s intrusive anti-cheat-software operating on a system level where it could be a viable attack vector. thats what sucks.

what also sucks: this will make one of the most played games in existence unplayable on linux. and only so riot looks like taking a problem serious, that is probably much smaller than people think.

other than that: mobas absolutely require mechanical skills, that cheats could assist you with. there impact might not be as obvious as an incredible high hesdshot rate, but being able to consistently last hit creeps will give an ever increasing advantage over your opponent, canceling certain animations will increase the damge you are able to dish out over a given time frame and seeing the trajectory projectiles will follow makes them easier to dodge.

hell just supplying more information than the standard ui can be a huge advantage: knowing what your opponets buy, or invest there leve ups in all the time, displaying their cooldowns and stuff like that.

The movie is called Antitrust if anyone is wondering. It’s a serviceable thriller and Tim Robbins is realy the best thing about it.

It’s one of thise movies thats definitely worth a watch if you catch it somewhere.

Darktable is pretty neat, but i only edit photos of my dogs and gatherings of friends and family tbh, so it could lack a lot of what lightroom does and i’d never know.

It’s compatible with adobes .dng so you should be able to get usable raws from almost every digital camera with the dng converter in wine, if your cameras raw format is not supported.

I guess the biggest difference for users is that nostr relays don’t federate with one another. So you’ll have to query multiple relays yourself if you want to see stuff outside of the relay(s) you post to. The other big difference is that your identity is a keypair. The relays you send to only know your public key and that’s it.

E: someone running a relay could still decide you need to create an account or something, but this account is only the permission to use this specific relay. Your identity would still be your keypair, so moving to another relay is easy.
