Now my confessions: I never seed torrents, I haven't paid for a game in 5 years, I haven't upgraded my PC for 9years, I run windows 10 and haven't paid the license, I use winrar with a cracked key, I like saving rare and obscure files that I just toss onto a drive and forget about it, even though you can't find most of the programs/files anymore, I don't have an image folder, I never used anything else besides VScode, I derail threads with silly statements, and much more

when i was a young teenager someone gave me a hard drive with a new version of windows 98 on it.

the pc i had was running windows 95, so i set the cables to master boot for the win98 and boot'd up. the new windows started but was loading many many drivers and not going into user space. i was planning to format the win95 hdd after migrating windows.

i tried to wait but then my parent called for dinner time. being a stupid teenage i panic'd and unplugged the ide cable from the hard drives while it was live then unplugged the system.

windows had made me mad i guess. when i came back after dinner the pc was bricked and won't even post.

my brother was annoyed since had some rpg vidyas and it was kind of disappointing. after that i switched to winxp and ubuntu, and sata ofc.
>>

i frogot, yeah i had win2000 nt, which was the first windows that didn't look like clownware. autism is hell for young people, i could have just pulled an all nighter, it wasn't liek i didn't stay up late anyway. i just my lil brain couldn't cope with two hdds being the first time and such good size and all... iirc i might have bought a dell optiplex from ebay b/c i liked the form factor. it's all ancient history.

When I was young (7-8yrs old), we had Avira Antivirus installed on our machine, I was fascinated with programming and I'd always go to Help > About in any program to read who made it etc.

Knowing full well how shitty HP is, I bought an HP Pavilion Plus 14 just over half a year ago because of the specs, but I must have missed half of them on the way. It's such trash.
It has telemetry drivers. It's fucking embedded into your fucking soul. Microsoft allows them to do this awful shit. It has next to no BIOS settings in case you might break it. The processor is quite cucked. Forget about undervolting anyways. You want to have the laptop airflow actually obstructed with a surface that will make it 10-15C hotter on full load because otherwise, even on idle, you'll have a really annoying high pitched fan noise that cannot be fixed and "it's normal".
To make things worse I actually didn't need a laptop. It's sitting on my desk all day anyways. It hasn't been outside once. I could just have grabbed a miniPC. I'm using an external display, keyboard and mouse. It's so fucking stupid. I'm so fucking stupid. Why did I do this??

Code for the things you actually find fun, or have a use for. Don't be like the people here who are basically just redditors at this point, doing things for money and attention and feeling depressed when it turns out there's millions of them competing to be the biggest bitch of some corporate pajeet on a project that's worthless, anyway.

>Code for the things you actually find fun, or have a use for
I don't claim to be a good programmer or whatever, but holy fuck do I love when I get a random idea to make a program I actually want. It's like an addiction almost where I'm rock hard the whole time I am making the program. I will miss out on sleep, I'll wake up and have an idea and go put it in, etc.
I wish I could have passion like that for everything in life but mostly I just get drunk, play video games I don't like, and go to a job I don't really like (so I suck at it)

The first time I tried linux on my first custom built PC when I was 13 in 2016 was solely because I didn't know how to pirate Windows but (somehow) knew that Ubuntu was free. I switched back to Windows immediately upon finding that out but after 3 years and a couple incidents with Windows Update rendering my system unusable in ways I couldn't fix at the time I was willing to give loonix another shot since Proton was a thing by that point. 5 more years later I can't say I'm the biggest fan of Arch but every issue I've had with it thus far has been fixable without reinstalling my entire OS.
