Are you more sensitive to stimulation than the average person?

I would recommend reading through the first parts of the arch install tutorial, particularly the network connection through the terminal. If you’re comfortable with that, the archinstall utility makes the rest of the process effortless. I’ve had Manjaro bork itself but not just plain arch.

I dunno if it’s autism since I despise C++ lmao

I don’t use C++ and I complain about it all the time. Never have I had a project that couldn’t be completed in equal or better accuracy in something other than C++, and the amount of development time it adds on just to use the damn thing is prohibitive. Let alone fast compilation for iterative design, or reduction in boilerplate. I feel the only thing C++ has is seniority and a smidgen of performance, and performance is rapidly being approached or exceeded by projects like rust.

I think there are two types of programming languages:

Good ones that are expressive and readable, like you need from a language.

And

Things that sorely need replacement.

Sorry, I just really fucking hate that quote. It’s so pretentious and stupid, and doesn’t allow for the development of anything new unless people don’t like it. Programmers are surprisingly conservative.

I am not a therapist or counselor, but know that your worth isn’t based on your physical strength, even as a man. You are valuable, and you don’t need to be able to overpower people to provide for your partner. If it makes you feel better, I trust “weaker” men more because they tend to be humble and treat me with the respect I deserve. Your siblings sound like they’re going to have shallow and unpleasantly interesting lives.

I don’t hate you for it but I did the same thing until Manjaro broke itself

I work at a sex store. Was showing guy products. Asked if he could fuck me. When I say no, asks if he can suck my dick. I’m a trans woman and I get a lot of this sort of thing.

I also had a customer grab my breast after I checked him out at the gas station I worked at.

Maybe it was the time a lady asked me to put in gloves to handle her change, or the time after that when the same lady dropped change on the ground next to her car and ordered me to pick it up for her (this would require me to walk in front of her vehicle).

Maybe it was the time a woman my age walked up to me and asked if I was “one of those transgenders” and when I said yes she asked if I was “one of the angry ones”.

Idk

Everything sucks

I’m kinda weird for this one. I started with arch a long time ago, and ended up distrohopping because I borked my install. Everything else had problems for me eventually, including Ubuntu and Debian. At this stage, if you can figure out iwctl you’re good to go. This enables me to have a system up and running quickly in which I feel I have no restrictions on my abilities as a developer.

archinstall will do proprietary drivers for you, works great for me.

I stupidly thought that since everyone uses computers and they are getting more popular, I could pursue my passion as a career. Still waiting on an entry level job.
