I have a telecom job (call centre drone) and need to tell the employer how well I can troubleshoot and work with computers
Considering that today I: installed windows 11 pro and updated the driver for my GPU, after it was stuck in low resolution; cleaned my hard drives after a botched clean in Windows 10, then use the prompt "clean disk" (after they were not able to install linux mint or pop! os) through the command prompt, then salvaged my new hard drive (which was booted with windows 11 pro iso image file) through disk management settings... what would you rate my technology skills? Be honest, I don't mind if it's low, but I want to learn how to get good so I can maintain this job. I hope that I can learn to code or work out IT issues, eventually.

>>108613394
I'd say maybe 2 or 3 out of 10? The things you listed, I can think of normies who wouldn't have any idea where to start if you asked them to do that but in the grand scheme of things, it's all very basic

>>108613394
it's more than the average person, but not more than an interested 12 year old.
it depends on the job requirements, if no specific knowledge was requested then i'd say the requirements are quite low and if you can "google" shit well enough you can probably handle it

Just want to ask how I can bypass this faggot shit to verify my fucking email. Maybe I'm just being retarded right now because I have no sleep but 99% of the time I have no fucking clue what the answer is. I just want to get a fucking email verification. I've done this several times now and twice got the email, but after you get the damned email you have to do the same captcha shit again, and I keep running my chances out till it fucking expires. That's the kind of shit that makes you want to kill someone. I now have to wait 43 minutes before I can do it again.

>>108613572
have you tried being human?

>>108613394
Yeah like the other anon said, more than an average person. Lots of normies treat computers like literal magic and their brain shuts down when something doesn't work. What you did is all pretty basic and simple but it does put you above the average normalfag in that sense.

However my question to you is, how much of that did you figure out on the fly (by googling, trying things, etc.) vs. how much of this would you consider an actual "skill" that you had learned previously and already knew how to do? In my opinion, in your position the greatest skill you might demonstrate and develop is the ability to learn and figure out things quickly. If you had never used disk management before or never did "clean disk" and figured it out on the fly, it probably means next time you have some unfamiliar situation you'll also be able to figure it out. But if you just happened to know how disk management works and how to do this exact shit, then it doesn't speak anything about your ability to adapt, only about your specific knowledge here and like the other anons said it's pretty shallow.

watch a free video series for comptia a+ or similar. some of the info is questionable or worthless, like nobody's going to expect or need you to remember port numbers unless you're working with them on a regular basis (it takes five seconds to look them up and if you work with them frequently you'll start to remember them very quickly), but it's at least a somewhat standard "basic it knowledge" that lets employers know what to expect. plus the videos at least are free and the cert is useful if you get laid off or something.

check with your employer too, some employers will pay for you to get certs. some even offer incentives. if you want to advance in IT, certs are also a good starting point.

>>108616845

It's probably the best way to use google anything. They will try to fingerprint you as much as possible, but Tor Browser is built to be as fingerprinting-resistant as possible, so ideally they will only see "some tor user is connecting" and nothing any more interesting.
The only issue is that I bet you need to enable javascript to use it, and there's no guarantee that the Tor Browser is 100% perfect at preventing fingerprinting. They might possibly be able to gather some data, because javascript is incredibly powerful and browsers have five trillion APIs that can be used by javascript to gather datapoints and Tor Browser is only made by humans.

Also I'm not sure if it will even work, everyone blocks the fuck out of Tor nowadays.

places like gumroad have a cool thing where you can set something you're selling to have a default/suggested amount you can pay, but is also something the user can freely change to being free (e.g. a text box that has a default price of $10, but is editable to $0).

is it possible to do something like this with crypto? is it just simple html or is there anything more to this? a guide on setting up crypto for personal websites would also be appreciated.

>>108617560
Your question sounds a bit like
>Sometimes I see people in the market discussing the goods with the seller. Sometimes they haddle the price up or down, sometimes they discuss the weather. Is it possible to do this with a cheque?
Unless I misunderstood it, in which case please do clarify.

Otherwise: the textbox is defined entirely by the website and has literally zero relation to payment methods. You can make the website do, show or display absolutely whatever you want.
Then when the actual sale happens, the payment mechanism is invoked using some value and that's how the payment is coordinated.

>setting up crypto for personal websites
Do you know how crypto wallets work? The gist of setting up crypto payments is you publish your address and people can send crypto to it. If you're actually selling stuff, then you need some infrastructure to tie together payements you see in the blockchain vs. orders that just happened, usually by generating a unique address for every order (or on some blockchains, by adding some information to the transaction), and then validate that the user sent enough and then mark it as "paid" and proceed with the sale accordingly, you can also have systems for refunding if the customer overpays etc. It's not very complicated if you know how blockchains work, it just takes a bit of work if you want it to be 100% automated for e.g. an online store. If you don't need to automate it then it just works and you don't need to do anything.

If you don't know how crypto wallets or the blockchain work, then you should definitely read into the basics of that before trying to use it.

well say you want to buy a 4chan pass, the price is preset and can't be changed. what i'm talking about is something like pic rel, where the amount is preset at 0, but the user can change it if they want to. i only ever see this done on websites specifically made for purchases (previous example of 4chan links to another site) but what i want is to keep it all on my website and then to just send that off to my wallet.

>Otherwise: the textbox is defined entirely by the website and has literally zero relation to payment methods. You can make the website do, show or display absolutely whatever you want.
but i think this answers my question, i was just wondering if there were any security considerations that behind the scenes that i wasn't aware of

>Do you know how crypto wallets work?
not at all lol, i just want to have an alternative to regular payment processors now that everything's going to shit

>If you don't know how crypto wallets or the blockchain work, then you should definitely read into the basics of that before trying to use it.

>>108618192
>well say you want to buy a 4chan pass, the price is preset and can't be changed
Yeah that's pretty much just like my example of making small talk with a guy at the market
You discuss whatever you want, agree to whatever you want, and then once you've agreed on a deal you pay the merchant in your preferred way, whether that be cash, cheque, bank card, or bartering with oxen. Whether you discussed the weather beforehand or signed a notarised contract about the sale does not affect how the payment is actually made, it only affects what is agreed upon, and then payment is made according to that agreement. That's why I found your question strange.

>do you have know any good resources for this?
Unironically ask an LLM. "Explain to me the very basics of something I know nothing about" is something that's usually very annoying to piece together by reading wiki pages and documents elsewhere but an LLM can explain all the basics to you, as long as it's a reasonably established topic and not something hyper-niche. Modern LLMs actually hallucinate surprisingly little as long as the question is not too complicated.

I've noticed a new trend in the comments on Youtube videos, and it's pissing me off.
For example, a video about a specific movie or vidya, there will always be a comment now within the first ten or so with this kind of template:
>I had the privilege of working on this back in [year before release]. I was responsible for [semi-important role, unverifiable]. I got to work with [known person] and [known person], and I even met [famous person] on a few occasions. He was pretty chill, but always too busy for the likes of me. Still, I'm really proud of what we accomplished, and it's great to see [youtuber] talking about it.

if it's their laptop/desktop and your phone isn't set up to use dns over https/tls or some other form of dns encryption then they can probably snoop the domains you access (i.e. 4chan.org). browsers are increasingly doing encrypted dns by default but it's still not universal and most browsers support it being turned off by policy on corporate domains.

also if you have to install any sort of certificate on your phone to access their internet (pretty rare, you'd probably remember doing this), then yes, they can spy on anything you do.

Is it strange to clear your browser history regularly? I clear my browser history weekly, but it seems like every website wants you to leave everything as it is. Some websites even think I'm a bot just because I log out and clear my cookies.

>>108622496
not really. i know plenty of privacy-oriented people who do so. i don't because i'm less concerned with that topic and because convenience is a bigger priority for me, but it's not like it's rare or nonsensical. do what makes sense for you.

with that said, it might make more sense to use multiple browser profiles for different tasks and only clear history on the profile you do sensitive things with. but at the end of the day, just do what you want.

>>108622525
The funny thing is, I don't do it for privacy reasons. I only do it because I'm the kind of autisti who enjoys having a clean browser.

>>108622544
that's fine too. it'll probably be a bit less convenient but it's not something you need to worry about. maybe do the reverse of what i said, then; if there are sites that you find are repeatedly problematic, make a separate "dirty" profile specifically for them so that they're less annoying to deal with and don't pollute your main one.

Why can't a dynamic library be converted to a static library?

>>108623037
There is no such thing as a "static library" in itself. There are "static executables" which include all the libraries they use; sometimes people say "I'm including library X as a static library" but what this means is the library is going to be built into the executable.
By contrast dynamic libraries do exist standalone and executables "dynamically" link to them to use them. Therein is the difference between static and dynamic linking.

So if you have the source for a given executable, you can usually convert a dynamic library it uses into a static library FOR that executable, and recompile the executable. The result will still be a single executable, but now it won't link to the dynamic version of that library, because that library is built-in.

Are there such things as social media managers for individuals? At this point, social media has completely banned or blacklisted me. Every account I make gets zero attention, in many cases it gets shadowbanned without reason. My Meta socials all got banned and deleted, only reason given is suspected automated activity, I don't post on them. I attempt to register with a social media site, and it will ask to verify my identity and then promptly shadowban me again so no other people see my engagement.

How exactly are normalfags evading this great nerd filter and is it possible to just hire someone to do it on my behalf?

>>108623037
because not all the info you need to create a static lib exists in the dynamic lib (usually). it's not a bad time to learn about executable file formats and linkers.

What exactly are you trying to do? There are definitely social media managers for individuals, but it doesn't make sense unless you're trying to become some sort of "influencer". Also they will almost certainly tell you to pozz yourself completely by verifying your ID and everything to the max.
For 99.9% of normal people, who aren't "influencers" nor trying to become one, hiring a social media manager makes no sense because what's the point of having "reach"? If you do want to gather followers and become a social media personality then yeah you can hire a manager.

>What exactly are you trying to do?
I just want to be able to talk to people again someplace that isn't 4chan. I used to have a litany of social media, a faceberg (I don't miss it much, but I do miss having a marketplace account) a youtube channel, twitter, I used to be what most considered a normalfag.

I can't even register for most of these services, now. I register, and a day later I get banned for reasons I do not understand or are explained. Appeals 100% of the time result in "Denied, be a better person in the next life, permanent ban" automatic emails. I have never talked to a person behind these account services or what their reasoning is.

My biggest tell that I can find as to what is happening is that I do not have a device which allows any kind of telemetry and does not do data gathering of any kind. I use firefox nightly on my phone and use browserleaks to ensure my fingerprint is as generic as I can make it. I don't give anything other than my real name to these sites that require it, and if I can avoid it: I don't even give that. I try to avoid uploading pictures of myself. I attempt to be as private as I used to be ~10 years ago, and that's the only reason I can think of as to why these sites are shadowbanning or just banning me. But I know people much more paranoid than I am are browsing these sites, so how are they doing it? Why am I singled out?

>>108624266
>talk to people
Can't you do that while shadowbanned? I thought that just meant you wouldn't have "reach" and wouldn't be promoted algorithmically to additional followers.
Though if you get hard-banned then yeah it can be annoying.

Anyway most "people" talk on discord nowadays, I've never really seen people socialise on twitter or whatever, that site just exists for engagement baiting

>>108624276
>Can't you do that while shadowbanned? I thought that just meant you wouldn't have "reach" and wouldn't be promoted algorithmically to additional followers.

Depends on the site.
On X, yes. I can reply to people and they will probably see me but I'll be buried below hundreds of comments, if I reply directly to friends, I'll be the only one commenting so my comment won't be swept up.
On youtube, no. When I try to comment, this happens:
https://www.youtube.com/shorts/Dt4E5UQLOA0
This happens on multiple accounts, btw. Again no reason specified. It's related to this issue:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4fByyl8BLXo
Which has been reported on for years. It's 50/50 if a comment posts, if it does post- I will never appear on a front page or not hidden from sight unless "All Comments" are enabled.
On other social media sites: Faceberg simply bans me, Instagram posts simply do not show up, frankly I don't care about these sites in general- Meta can go to hell. I just want to be able to talk to friends and be normal again.


>Anyway most "people" talk on discord nowadays, I've never really seen people socialise on twitter or whatever, that site just exists for engagement baiting
I actually do not know what social media sites normal people use now because I can't talk to them. I have several discord accounts, should I just use those?

>>108624359
and yes, as I type this I am aware this is probably related to my generic fingerprint browser making my virtually non-existent ass worthless for marketing and that may be the real reason they're banning me. Either ways I can't seem to get away from it and attempts to even verify with my own face has resulted in bans (likely because I'm the most generic white guy you can imagine and they probably think I'm AI generated)

So I will just reinstall the OS before I get too used to it.
Driver pack like this
https://www.dell.com/support/kbdoc/en-us/000122490/precision-7540-windows10-driver-pack
Should handle all drivers after reinstall, correct? Of course there is NET Framework stuff, but it's usually installed along with programs, so it should be fine or am I forgetting something?

Some times like twitter or paypal occasionally load extremely slowly or not at all for me, but when i use a VPN they work perfectly.
Why is this and how can i fix it? Please help.

7th year trying to finish my college course in CompSci honours. I'm not from the states so I don't have to pay too much to repeat. I started in 2019 and everything was going good until the plandemic occured. I couldn't do a lot of work at home during the plandemic since my dad is a dickhead and needs a justification for everything. I then had to repeat two classes during the summer of 2020 however free because of the plandemic. I unfortunately failed the one that I hated the most which had to do with adobe animate and creating an animation video, my project didn't get a pass and I got really pissed off. From then on I didn't attended a class and only went in person if I had an exam. I passed the animation class the next year but I decided to not attend classes anymore and try to pass the repeat classes during the summer like I did in the previous years since I thought it was easier over the summer. I ended up passing half of my classes but I didn't realise how much work it required. I didn't pass everything so I had to try again, I got lazier and the next year I only passed 2 classes. I eventually started a job in 2023 (and trying to pass the 2nd year of college for the 3rd time) I ended up passing another class in 2024 and then another in 2025. I had to pass only another class but the reason I didn't was because it's supposed to be a giant project with 4 people and to take around 3 months. We are now close to the summer of 2026 (class starts in july) and I have started to look a bit into the work provided from the semester. Any tips outside of emailing the lecturer? I am not giving up, you have no idea how shit the job market is if you don't have a college degree so this is why I'm definitely not dropping out. Hopefully I graduate before 30 (currently 24). Even if I won't find a job once I get my degree I'll try to do a part time masters degree if I get a good enough grade for my final year, any tips or tricks?

I opened up my chrome today and ublock stopped working again.

Either way, is there any way I can recover the filters list at the very least? I tried everything but I dont know where to even start checking for something like that.

Me too yesterday. After decades I said fuck you and went Brave today.

What tips and tricks do you want? It sounds like you just don't care. If you wanna pass sooner you literally just need to actually work on your classes instead of just leaving it till the last moment. If you're fine with repeating forever and the university keeps you on forever for some reason then you do you

Also employers usually look at CVs if they're putting any thought into hiring you, and spending like 10 years on a degree will look bad no matter what, especially if you don't have any good excuse like a terrible disease making you bedridden for 5 years or something. But maybe it's still better than no degree. Honestly 10 years ago I'd have told you to cut your losses and just go all-in on getting work experience but nowadays I have no clue how the entry level job market works anymore so good luck I guess

If a global system requiring a third-party verified age certificate is rolled out, operating systems won't matter, you either give your ID to the israeli data harvesting company or you're blocked from the internet
If it remains mostly a theoretical or at-will thing, or with selective enforcement where practically speaking no-one cares and the government doesn't bother prosecuting 10,000 apt libshitsneed packages and your grandma's blog, then even using a "pozzed" distro won't matter since you can just enter "99 years old" on the setup screen
If some corpo distros start adding third-party verification of their own volition (kinda like Apple is doing right now) then for popular and big distros like Ubuntu there will almost certainly be patches or forks to avoid this

On windows, is there a way to set up notifications for certain sporting events? Like, if I only care about Starcraft II and Baseball for example, I want a notification when a game is about to be live.
Currently the only way I can think of it, is to set up a new twitch account, follow only the channels streaming the sports I want, and enabling email notifications for going live. That works for SCII, DotA and such, but some of the other sporting channels I watch are live 24/7 showing replays when there's no live sport, which would spoil the function.

Resources as in like RAM and CPU allocations are not persistent once you shut down the VM.
What is persistent is the "disk image", i.e. the storage you allocated to the VM. (Obviously, you normally wouldn't want the VM's virtual hard drive to get wiped on every shutdown.) So you just delete the disk image file when you're done.

What are the disadvantages of a 1440/1600p display on a laptop?

>>108638028
I'd use an FM transmitter. Tape adapters have a tendency to need fine adjustment to make sure the read head of the tape deck is exactly aligned with it. So a bumpy road can shift the adapter and you'll have reduced audio quality until you sit there for a minute using your fingertips to push it around until you get it sorted.

>no port forwarding
stop shilling this broken shit

>>108639730
Not everyone needs port forwarding.
It's just really easy to set up, you don't even need an account. You can't have an account even.

>>108639739
It's retarded to not have port forwarding if you're paying a VPN for the express purpose of torrents. Discover peers slower and get aggressively profiled by site operators for using the most well known VPN exit nodes. Who wouldn't sign up for this?
>It's just really easy to set up, you don't even need an account. You can't have an account even.
Also true for many VPN providers which don't have mulvad's problems.

>>108639730
this is shitty advice.
protonvpn if you torrent, mullvad if you don't.

>>108639764
There's nothing wrong with Proton, but there's nothing special about them either. Other than they're another large, well known provider whose exit nodes also get aggressively profiled.

The urge to flock toward one or two big brand providers is really stupid. VPNs work best when providers are as decentralized and commoditized as possible.

>>108639801
sending someone to reddit is ALWAYS bad advice. they'll end up with whatever vpn has the largest discount or kickback for advertisers and won't be focused on the private part of vpn. proton is at least a step in the right direction and not based out of the US.

>>108639823
Given the nature of the service you probably shouldn't be trying to get the cheapest one you can find either. This sounds like a (You) problem more than a reddit problem.
>not based out of the US
Also true for almost every provider.

Is there a way to trim a video without having to re-render the whole thing or something?
I have a 3h video that I only need the first one or so hour of and I can't be fucked to load the whole thing into a video editor and render it.

>>108639926
ffmpeg

>>108639926
ffmpeg like the other anon, but If you want a gui then losslesscut with the export mode set to merge cuts/segments.
It only allows you to cut on keyframes but it has a smart cut mode that can reencode only the frames before the keyframe, allowing you to cut anywhere too.

How do run two instances of Tor expert bundle on the same computer with two different circuits?

I expected torrc to have some setting like "user hash" which together with the current time (in my mind) would determine how Tor goes through the network. But I can't find such setting.

When using Tor browser I can select "new identity" or something like "new Tor connection to this site" so there must be some way to make it go through the network differently.

You're not giving me much to give on friend, it seems to be a Linux thing? I'm on Windows.
Isn't there anything built into Tor? What happens when I press "new identity" in Tor browser?

i wrote >>108640551 maybe you're thinking you're talking with someone else with a different question

>>108640843
No because concussive shock is a dirty whore. You can have a computerized weapon put holes in anything that looks vaguely like a drone within half a second. Which seems to be what all the major powers are moving toward.

>>108640974
oh, network namespaces. uh search for "netns linux" and start reading. i find them confusing, but it's probably the cleanest way to run two tor's side by side and flip between them.

>>108640713
So Pixels are the only option then?

>>108641118
google has decided to lock down android and destroy all the fun, so your only option for a custom rom is to reward google by buying one of their phones. situation sucks.

Advantage is sharper text
Disadvantage is you probably need fractional scaling (i.e. 150% zoom), which in theory should be fine, but in practice may not always work well on some OSes or display servers or graphics card or phases of the moon. In comparison integer scaling (e.g. 200%, 2x) almost always works perfectly everywhere. But you'd need a 4k screen for that and it really hits diminishing returns.
You can also just use 100% scaling (i.e. no scaling) but on a laptop everything is probably going to be absolutely tiny.

>>108640694
Option 1: buy a secondhand pixel, so google doesn't get money. They're extremely cheap, the a models (budget ones) have basically the same specs as the "flagship" ones but with a worse camera and a plastic back, and you can get a 1-2 year old one for under $200 easy, maybe even $100 or so. Instead of 5 or 7 years of update you end up with 3 or 5 years, which is still great, especially because of...

Option 2: wait for the Motorola support in 2027 (and pray Micay doesn't torpedo it by being a massive schizo sperg and scaring Motorola out of the deal somehow)

Well that, or just look into which phones are best supported by Lineage. You won't get the graphene wankery but you'll at least be able to use a phone without google services.

>>108640842
Probably the latter
Also if you just need a simple script, it sounds like something an LLM could one-shot

as I understand it it's not a regular update and there's no opt-out so there's no way to not get it. i bet it is already patched into your Android version long ago and just waits for a date or signal to activate. they're rolling it out a couple of countries one at a time, it will take at least until 2027 for it to become global.

i bet if Android forks and i try to put an unrestricted version of the OS on my phone i won't get access to the official app store and lose out on 99.99% of all apps, including banking apps. plus i will be put on some list of suspicious people.

yeah Internet is getting pretty gay. i hate all these bot checks websites do these days, i bet they aren't even necessary in most cases. the web was built on spiders (bot) that go around indexing everything but now all of a sudden we've lost that.

>>108642657
The problem with lineage is that its goal is to "support" as many devices as possible, and that means tons of devices have unofficial ports, poorly maintained ports, etc. If you don't want to be stuck with a pajeet "good working port saar :) untested! bugs - you tell me :))" build updated once a year, you either need to identify the core devices that will actually remain updated for the foreseeable future, or learn to build your own port, which I heard isn't unsurmountable but it's definitely a bigger project than most people who just want to use their phone are looking for.

The second problem is that lots of phones don't get firmware and driver updates from the manufacturer, and the thing about Android is that unlike Linux, it does not come with in-tree drivers for random ass ARM hardware; you're entirely reliant on the manufacturers for those. So if you buy a Pixel with guaranteed 7 years of updates, you will actually get 7 years of updates. If you buy a chinkphone that drops support in 1 year, even if Lineage continues being updated, there's very real chances that say the baseband model has some bug or vulnerability and you will NEVER have it patched and you just have to walk around for years with an exploitable phone, connecting to untrusted networks with that vulnerable modem, for example.

And the third problem is in de-googling. Graphene lets you easily use multiple sandboxed user accounts, and you can install google services as a sandboxed (i.e. non-system) app on just a single account, and use that for when you absolutely need google related apps.
Lineage without gapps by default just prevents you from running anything that depends on them; microG exists but it too has gaps in its implementation, and last I had checked installing Lineage with microG had even patchier support than official Lineage (this might have changed in recent years idk).

>>108643217
>Wtf do I do?
Use another ROM, like Lineage
If your phone has poor support and only an unofficial Lineage port or something then lmao you're fucked, imagine buying a phone in 2026 without first researching its OS support, if you "just" bought it return it and see >>108641556

I don't keep up with tech news and never come here.
I bought a OnePlus 15 cause I saw it had the based snapdragon 8 and I wanted to use it with winlator which is working bretty gud so far
So the best way to get away from this Gewish nonsense is to buy a pixel and put lineage on it? Why a pixel in particular? and are these roms going to give me freedom at the expense of general usability of my phone?
Thanks again anons.

>>108643565
The best way is to put GrapheneOS on it, but until motorola releases its compatible model (next year) graphene is only compatible with pixels
The second best way is to get something that's properly compatible with LineageOS, which doesn't get you the massive security wankery of graphene, and has the disadvantages I described here >>108643512, but it's a decent second best option for avoiding stock Google OS especially if you want to boycott Pixels for example

>and are these roms going to give me freedom at the expense of general usability of my phone?
In my experience, graphene literally just works, with one exception being apps that specifically check "are you running the exact Android version that I expect" and then think your device is "not secure" because it's not signed by Google (Graphene is much more secure than stock android btw). Some banking apps are moronically designed this way for example. I personally haven't had issues yet (then again I also boycott a lot of app-locked services on principle so I might have dodged some). One big thing to note in particular is that Google Pay won't work; though there's this thing called Curve Pay which apparently works, I haven't tried it because I don't want to add yet another intermediary seeing all my transactions (whether that be Google or some chink banking company).

Lineage is a bit more iffy. Now the last time I used lineage was probably 5-8 years ago, it was so annoying I ended up using a dumbphone for a few years instead, until I found graphene. But I had major issues finding builds with updates for my phone, and with google-related apps. If you explicitly buy a well supported phone, and if you don't need a lot of apps that rely on google, then it'll be fine. In my experience the biggest issue was Uber, which kinda worked but for example was unable to display maps and sometimes wouldn't work right, and there are simply no "foss alternatives" if you're somewhere unfamiliar and need a taxi.

I'm growing fucking tired of these so-called "step-by-step" guides that instead of guiding you through the process, just throw a bunch of code at you and automatically assume you already know what to make of it.

These guides assume some basic fundamental knowledge. Like for example a step by step guide to driving somewhere is probably going to assume you know how to actually drive your car, and just tell you where to turn and where to go.

>Download quick-sharun.sh from this repository
It took me two seconds to find it. Hint: it sounds like a useful tool.
Then surely you know how to download a file.

>environment variables
This is one of those basic things where you really should just google "what is an environment variable". Or ask an LLM. In fact for a lot of this, an LLM is probably going to be really good at covering these basic topics. They have infinite patience, you can ask "I don't get it, explain it differently" or "explain using a food analogy" or "more simpler" ad infinitum, and basic topics like this almost never hallucinate anything these days.

>WTF even is this?
>A script file I should download/copypaste in its entirety and run?
>A list of individual commands I should execute?
A script is nothing more than a list of individual commands. (Sometimes they're complex composite commands, like loops or somesuch, but these are all simple ones.) You can execute them one by one by hand or save it as a script file and execute the entire thing.
Either way it's an example set of commands so you will likely want to edit them, at least replacing "myapp" with the actual thing you're packaging.

>Why does it look like it was specifically made for ArchLinux?
Because it uses pacman to install the application.
>And how do I use it work on another distro?
All the script does is run through the basic steps detailed above (download quick-sharun.sh, set environment variables, run quick-sharun.sh). The only Arch-specific thing seems to be the "install the application" step, so you'd change that for another distro.
>What application is even being converted?
"myapp"
>And how do I use it for other ones?
You'd follow the instructions but with your actual app.

I'm working on a web app but I realized the layout / UI/UX I had in mind isn't working at all and makes the use of the app and the user flow so unituitive and complex that no one would use it the way it's intended. Now I don't know if the idea itself was bad or if a better design choice could save it. Should I start from scratch and only implement the UI necessary for one core feature and then build around that?
