I use herbstluftwm. The configuration is straightforward and it fits my minimal needs.

In my experience, pirates who are annoyingly trying to find moral reasons to pirate are mostly the ones using text-heavy social media.

It’s probably “Rich Dad, Poor Dad”. If you’re interested in any personal finance book, there is already nothing to learn.

I prefer Mastodon over Twitter for microblogging. However, I didn’t use Twitter for microblogging, but to receive news (directly or at least officially) from game devs, directors and other creators.

None

There is no sense of pride. Every text/code editor has key combinations that many users will learn eventually. Vim has easier key bindings.

I always choose hardcover. I try to keep the number of my owned physical books low. So when I do buy it, I want my eyes to be satisfied and they prefer the looks of hardcover. Since I usually buy secondhand books, overall it’s very cheap (although I don’t have high standards on the book’s condition).

They must be proud of Elixir.

Parts Unknown

That’s what I asked Annette.

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

I much prefer short unskippable ads over conditionally skippable ads without a length max.

I know people mean it well and I respect that. But it’s a little indirect insult, when their first reaction is to assume that you feel bad about it and to patronize you.

Of course there are people with that mindset among short dating men who often aggressively blame women’s standards. So I try to be not too upset about it.
