So how did deaf people enjoy music for free before Spotify?

That's what I asked Annette.

#1 If someone has the macho habbit of not feeling in need of documentation, they need to unlearn it.

I never dual-booted and I noticed I escaped a few traps. At best I'd base the decision on some research whether or not there is a way to run your irreplaceably essential software.

Thanks for the suggestions! Some have been already on my reading list, because they went into that direction and others I've added. I'm not sure, if my wording was understood 100% and if these books are what I'm looking for, but I guess the acknowledgement of the recursion would be a surprise element anyway. Thanks again!

I use mainly fish and occasionally nushell.

I didn't get far learning any language using free online resources (technically English, but that was/is rather a passive learning experience).

I mostly used Duolingo to take the first steps and to challenge my interest for the language. At a certain point I prefer language-specific services, e.g. for Esperanto there is lernu (I stopped that, because I hated a few concepts of the language).

I learn Japanese on and off. I'm currently at my third or fourth attempt I believe xD I tried a lot from (again) Duolingo, JapanesePod101 to Memrise. On the long-term I prefer to use online resources secondary, e.g. existing Anki vocabulary decks to guide my textbook. And for a language like Japanese I like to use different kinds of dictionaries, articles and historical context, because sometimes there simply isn't a definite answer T_T

Infinite wishes

Oof, I wish I didn't read that.

If the workflow at a workplace requires a consistent experience across all PCs...why doesn't that workplace enforce that consistency?

I understand your frustrations, but corporate or organizational needs should not technically limit the personal needs of using a personal computer.

(And when people, used to a strict environment, are overwhelmed by the amount of freedom in their new environment, I think it's better to guide them through the options instead of just taking away everyone's freedom)

When my mom used her laptop, she was using arch btw! It was only for browsing though. Firefox was auto launched and she didn't have to learn anything. It obviously wouldn't have been a good choice, if I wasn't able to do the updates.
