  • We’re talking about, say, learning Spanish and Duolingo be like “now translate this very long and overly specific sentence to English”

    Then you end up trying to construct the English sentence even though you’re learning Spanish

    Here’s an example where I think my sentence is perfectly fine, but it just expected a different word order. It expected me to put If at the beginning, but I didn’t notice it was capitalized.

    Korean doesn’t even have capital letters, why is it doing some gotcha about English capitalization when I already know English?

















  • They have social security and some of them have savings. My mom is planning to retire in West Virginia and she’s already planning on selling her current residence to build a house there. She chose a low property tax state on purpose.

    At this point she would only receive social security and start to go through her savings to live. You want to start charging her federal taxes the moment her property is worth $1 more than what she bought it for, even though she’s on fixed income.

    NixOS is super easy. It gets a bit complicated when you use flakes, but you don’t need to to start.

    You just put the system packages into the configuration so you can replicate that system everywhere.

    But if you don’t care, just install everything to the user profile! It just works like any distro then, no config files to mess with

    The first power spike you will experience is actually setting up a service like Jellyfin by just editing the configuration.nix, though. It’s so much easier than having to mess with the configuration yourself (someone already did the work for you)
