It was nice to have someone take this stand and I fully support this. People switching over to Linux already have their own stuff to deal with and need time to accustom to their new environment, and forcing them to embibe 'FOSS' philosophy and other strong opinions as held by others in Linux communities is only going to turn them off.

The Emptiness Machine by Linkin Park.

Listened to it for the first time two days ago and kept it going since

This is why [...] better

Sorry, what's the subject of that?

I was just referring to my original question i.e. how I should write comments in my code to explain its working if I have already done so in the code itself

I believe you confused the 'how' of commenting the 'why' with 'why' of commenting the 'why', if that makes sense.

I am already aware of and totally agree with the need to document your code in this fashion for the convenience of others and self. What I am troubled about is its implementation in real life. How does one write comment that explains the 'why' of the code? How would I know if I haven't accidentally written something that explains the 'what' instead or anything that is simply redundant? It seems like this portion is left out 'as an exercise for the reader'.

I am seeing this comment right after I finished 'Life is Strange'...

thank mr skeltal

Is it good to be engaged enough to be recognised in Lemmy? I don't know if the big players around here are just spending their entire day on Lemmy as many people on Redditors do. There is a small part of me that too wishes to be recognized as an active member in this community but I don't want it at the expense of my real life.

I love when people make the effort to do this kind of stuff and I got the opportunity to have someone do it for my post.

Thanks dude. You have made my day...

TIL they show ads for guns. What exactly do they advertise?

Fun fact: I have watched none of the movies listed here in the comments

I've heard a lot about setting up a Plex or a Jellyfin server locally, but from what I can tell they are just media storage platforms and in order to watch anything you would have to add your own content. In this age of digital content, it is very unlikely for a simpleton like me to go out and purchase hundreds of movie disks separately and manually load them into my CD drive to even have a fraction of the catalogue these streaming services combined provide. Also torrenting really isn't a viable option for me as I personally use a free tier Proton VPN which doesn't allow P2P, and even if I did get a proper one, I would still be limited to availability of seeds for movies I want to watch, which may or may not exist depending on the popularity of the said movie. I currently use a niche streaming site to watch my movies without any issues. Are self hosted plex/jellyfin servers really for a person like me?

I've already watched the movie. Does it make the book redundant?
