Hi all. I’ve been wanting to get into programming for a while now, specifically C#. However, I am not good at self-study or self-guided learning. Are there any good textbooks/workbooks that you’d recommend to learners of C# as a first programming language? I have some experience with coding, but not much more than simple...
Hey, I’ve been looking to learn Python for a while, tried as a kid but got bored before I did anything. I was wondering if anyone knew of any good Python self-study workbooks? The ones with exercises in addition to theory. I’m using Mint, in case that brings up any IDE issues.
I have done basic programming in HTML, C#, Python, and probably a few other “niche” applications that are really only borderline programming, if at all (like editing JSONs, scripting, etc.). I’ve gotten roughly to the point of making a custom calculator or other basic application, but generally get stuck (and therefore bored) once I run out of clear instructions. I’m not good at learning skills by myself (I.E., without a teacher or other guidance), but have had success learning complex software with commercially available workbooks/textbooks. I tend to do poorly without structure when learning things, hence the need for a workbook.
I’ve realized that I need a calendar, and Calcurse seems like a good one, with easy handling of daily schedules (which is my main requirement). Is it possible to export that schedule to a Mint desktop background? That way I could see, at a glance, a graphical representation of my day whenever I boot up my PC....
Welp, it’s finally happened. Windows 10 has become so bloated, slow, and spooky that I finally have decided to bite the bullet and set up a VM on my linux Mint partition. Do you have any suggestions for a virtual machine? My PC is a relatively basic mid-range business laptop, 8gb of ram, no GPU, only a few years old. I’m a...
The problem with “de-bloat” (the one I am familiar with, the one Mental Outlaw spotlighted a few years ago) is that it’s deprecated and Microsoft actively works against debloating software. If you’re familiar with some script/software that works in 2024, I’d be glad to hear it.
I have several android devices, with problems that have been developing overtime. I am unsure what, exactly, the problems are, and am hesitant to declare it a hardware issue unless i can prove it. Some examples in particular are:...
It was already split by a fit Latvian girl of a Yarr-harr, fiddle-dee-dee persuasion, if you catch my drift. I really am afraid of fucking something up, so I’ll try other methods before splitting it further.
Sorry if it’s a noob question, but isn’t a live session something you do with a USB stick without installing? The file is currently on the Mint install I used to torrent it, along with my other daily-driver things.
Alright, I’ve used your code, sudo mkfs.exfat -n LABEL /dev/sdb1
but the console returns this
<span style="color:#323232;">exfatprogs version : 1.1.3
</span><span style="color:#323232;">open failed : /dev/sdb1, Device or resource busy
</span><span style="color:#323232;">
</span><span style="color:#323232;">exFAT format fail!
</span>
what’s the problem here? I’ve cleared out all storage on the drive, and made sure that it isn’t opened in the file explorer, and it shouldn’t be reading/writing anything because it’s empty.
I’m looking for an app to browse YouTube using multiple accounts. It has to be convenient to switch between multiple accounts, and keep them separate. I’ve struggled to find a YT client that does this well, most of them seem to advertise “Use YouTube without an account”. I’d look on the app store but frankly the play...
I’m on Linux mint, and I’ve been wanting to reorganize and clean out my online footprint for a while now, starting with Youtube. I realized that a very useful way to do this would be by compartmentalizing my youtube activity. This would have the additional benefit of each “compartment” having a very specific algorithmic...
I’m looking for a youtube client that can conveniently “store” and switch between YT channels. Specifically, I’m looking for something that I can use to tailor my YT algorithm and feed by creating new accounts for different interests and purposes (one for tech, another for gaming, one for each varied hobby I’m...
