I recommend reading about Daisuke Amaya (a.k.a Studio Pixel) and his creation, Cave Story.
He made the game in the course of five years and moved to a less intensive and low pay job to work on the game. The man made the art, soundtrack, the program he used to compose and render the said soundtrack and the fucking game engine. He's also called "The father of indie games"

Sometimes I wish there were awards on Lemmy
You know how sometimes in a show or a movie there is a character that has a "radio friend" that they talk to? Yeah that's what I want to do. But I do not know how to so I came to ask you! Cheap, preferably. Out of curiosity, I found this app on IzzyOnDroid, (which gave me the idea in the first place) [Codec2Talkie](https://github.com/sh123/codec2_talkie) that _seems_ to be what I'm looking for but I'm unsure due to my ignorance. A radio modem seems to be required as the app description dictates. I can find one somewhere no issue. But is this the correct approach? Is there a better way that I don't know of?

What do you mean by that?
Literally teach them how to! When I deem them mature enough, of course.
Of course, there's the chance that they don't like tech.
I'm pretty confident that they will. If I get to raise the kid as I see fit. But you know I'm not expecting them to be a hobbyist or anything. Knowing small things like circumventing network blocks might be important in the future weather that would in a school enviroment or an oppresive regime. The latter of which is getting closer in my country to reality each passing day.

I think watching over kids without them knowing is the key. Time limit is stupid in my opinion. Obviously porn sites and other appropriate sites will be blocked network wide and when the time comes I'll slowly teach the child how to circumvent the measures and even create their own.
As you have pointed out, feeling under pressure will definitely detrimental for the child development so it's best to avoid that.

There was a joke in my local community that is something along these lines:
An African poor kid has seen a Nintendo console somewhere and asks his dad for one. Dad says no, understandably given the circumstances. The kid then makes a replica using cardboard and other shit he finds. Dad posts this on social media and it gains huge attention. Nintendo's CEO learns about this and travels to Africa in his private jet to meet the family personally. The CEO arrives there and sues the family for copyright infringement for 1,000,000 dollars.

I don't think this is a malicious act by Google, yet alone intentional at all. (English is not my native language and I'm unsure of how this sentence turned out. Is my grammar correct?)
Google uses a shit ton of automation on it's services. Youtube being the biggest example with all the unfair bans and copyright strikes. I believe this to be simply a case of those.

I don't know I never felt the need to customize the terminal. I just like what it comes with. It feels wrong to change that. Black background and colored text is fine. The rest of the OS though damn it's like a fucking birthday party! Nothing's at default ffs

I think that's pretty reasonable? If there are good offers for pre-ordering, why not?
Way better than pre-ordering video games. But that's a pretty low bar anyways.
**EDIT:** Thanks everybody for the suggestions! You've been great help to me. I'm getting prepared for my computer science degree in college but pretty behind in the related classes. What are the best resources out there? Preferably in English as my native language resources are shit at explaining the basics. I'm currently studying in Khan Academy but was wondering if there are somethings I'm missing out. NOTE: I am NOT in college yet. I'm trying to get in college now. So the stuff I'm looking for is high school stuff.
**EDIT:** Yeah... bad idea. Got it. I've been thinking about this for while. Sometimes there are situations where I have to log into one of my accounts temporarily to look at or take something and logging in is usually a pain in the ass or straight up uncomfortable. So my idea is that this feature will allow to temporarily share/relay the cookies stored in the mobile browser that are used to remember logged in accounts (login credentials?) over a secure wireless or wired USB connection to use with the desktop browser (in a temporary container/session to not conflict with other users' data) in order to do whatever I do and then wipe out all data upon mobile device removal. So... what do you think?
Until yesterday I used to have long hair. Due to unusually high tempetures I started having problems with the skin on my head. So, to avoid problems. I shaved it clean and it will remain that way until the skin in treated. Now that I'm bald, I now know what's it's like. It sucks. My old hair suited me perfectly. It was messy just the right amount, perfect length, made me look different than the rest and handsome as hell. Every girl would look at me where ever I went to. Compliments floating over the air, jealous looks from other men etc. etc. It made me feel powerful. But most importantly, it suited my personality and clothing. It was perfect! But now it's gone. I hate bald me. I will never look back at this bald version of myself. It feels weird. I don't feel *that* bad but still it's disheartening.
I can't exactly make out what it says after the error code thanks to the mystery unicode characters but I will try my best. "The package couldn't pass the updating, <something> or <something again> verification."
Recently I installed Firefox on my parents' phones (uBlock Origin too) in order to make them surf the web more securely as we've had a few cases in the past with malware. (Google Chrome, the advertisement company's browser, does not like ad blockers. Wonder why?) All they care about it is it openning Google.com and apparently they don't like Firefox's home screen. There are only options for "the last tab", "home screen" and "home screen after few hours of inactivity" but no option to go to a specific web address. In this case, google.com. So... how do?

What's your position in your imaginary world? What do you see yourself as? As a person that you want to be or as a perfect version of your current self? Or do you not imagine yourself as yourself at all? In some other form? Not as a human but rather some sort of an idea? Are you always on the top in your imaginations or do you imagine yourself to be not the most important person?

This is one of the tracks that I made for the video game project I'm working on. I'm still a beginner in music though. So I believe it might sound bad. I think volume balancing could use some polish.

For me, it was learning English. Although I do make a few mistakes here and there, I'm mostly perfect on it. The amount of resources you have access to dramatically increases when you know a universal language. I say dramatically because it made me realize how much my native language lacks when it comes to certain topics. The most obvious one to me was tech and computers. Everybody knows how to use Windows but there are very few resources about stuff beyond Windows. It's actually sad. _[insert sad face here]_
I hope you all are having a good day. I would like to start by saying that I'm the "can't take compliments" guy who posted a while back about how he "can't take compliments". I've been thinking about something for a while. That being the situation in the title. Now, there is a girl that I really like. Let's call her Cass. Cass and I are very similar. We both share similar interests. Reading books, discussions about philosophy etc. But we are also similar character wise. What I mean by that is that we both like to make jokes and are great at it too, etc. etc. I am comfortable around girls. No issues with that. But I've been just really, _really_, shy around her. To the point where I straight up leave the room if I see her. For a person such as myself, this is a pretty odd behavior. Because I give zero crap about what other people think of me. So instead of endlessly questioning myself, I decided to use this as an opportunity to think. Why do we humans do this? Cass is perfectly capable of getting along and understanding me. So _why_ am I nervous around her? Is it because I sub-conciously put Cass on a pedestal? Even though it's kind of illogical considering she's a very pick-me girl with mental issues? **_(For clarification, I did not mean these parts of her character when I said that we were similar. But who's to say I'm perfect?)_** This has been bugging for a while. Low self-esteem? I have plenty of it. Fear of being judged? Might be if I really am putting her on a pedestal. So... what's your opinion? I might make a post about her situation one day. Because she's certainly an interesting person. It's interesting how depression can destroy someone.
Not to brag but I'm a pretty confident person in my social circle. I'm funny, make people laugh etc. etc. Basically, I am adored by everybody. But there is something that I noticed about myself lately. Regularly people come up to me to chat and sometimes they compliment me. Now, complimenting isn't a bad thing, obviously. But I just don't feel anything when I receive them. However I enjoy it when people talk good things about me when I'm not present. I, again, don't feel anything when people talk shit about me when I'm not present. BUT I *really* enjoy it when people straight up come at me and say something bad at me. My mood increases and I spend the rest of my day happier. Is this some kind of a defense/coping mechanism that I have unintentionally developed? I don't see anything bad about this. It's also worthy to say that I spent the majority of my life isolated up until a few years ago. No compliments at all but nobody to say bad things either. Is this why I fail to appreciate compliments?
