once you go Wayland you usually don’t go back :)
I tried wayland (on amd) and found it annoying to work with compaired to x11 without any apparent benefits, wayland is definitely the future, but i don't think the future is now

it's weird to think that the only place you can go to hear the dangers of technology and the modern web, is that very same web through modern technology (tbf most blog posts like this one could run on a 25 year old thinkpad with a pentium m in w3m but still)

JIC you imagine that actual competence might be needed, if you wanted to be on a School Board:
> It all started when School Board member Brian Barefoot resigned, saying he was moving out of the district he was elected to represent. He tried to rescind that resignation the next day, after being told by a Treasure Coast Newspapers reporter that his new home was actually in the same district.
Amusing Idea: Set up a "ban breaker" web site, which makes a wide variety of banned books available to students in districts which have banned them.
If I'm not mistaken there's actually a Minecraft server that has a giant library of books and articles written in Minecraft books, that are all banned, and they're ordered by which country bans them.
The idea that your population can be "programmed" in the first place is the antithesis of american ideology. The whole point of freedom is you're free to think and say whatever you want and society has to deal with that. Society either rejects the ideas or accepts them but either choice still represents an active choice, an exercise of freedom. Saying that people are being "programmed" reveals a rather shocking lack of respect for the intellectual freedom and autonomy of their fellow man.
People are dumb, and like to believe the first thing they see, so "programming" a population is as easy as showing everyone something so often that it is all they see, tge human mind is incredibly malleable, and many big tech companies employ teams of psychologists to make best use of that, given china is a adversary or enemy or whatever you wanna call it, giving them a pipeline by which they can have direct access to tens of millions of American minds is a little silly to say the least, you do not win a war by winning battles, you win a war by breaking the enemies will to fight "Hence to fight and conquer in all your battles is not supreme excellence; supreme excellence consists in breaking the enemy’s resistance without fighting" Sun Tzu said that, and I'd say he knows a little more about fighting then you do pal because he invented it

Energy use for constant audio monitoring would make that implementation impractical compared to simply monitoring the energy draw from the device.
You could probably run this on a 32bit micro controller doing less than a watt

Fascinating article, very well articulated
HtDP [0], CS50x [1], and whatever strikes your interest from teachyourselfcs [2], in that order.
Also highly recommend the book for nand2Tetris after CS50.

Thank ya, imma do dat
From personal experience, start with something small (max a few 100s lines) but that can improve your everyday life (work or personal) so you can stick to it. Identify your need, think what functionality could solve it, then decompose the solution and read some doc.
Awesome thx
Pick a FOSS project that you use, check out its source code, fix a problem that affects you and contribute the fix back to the project.
After doing that for a while, check out the internships and bounties sections of the FOSSjobs wiki for opportunities to get paid for contributing to FOSS.

Thanks, I will definitely do that
Yes, building something is key. But you would do better to build something easy well than something complex and fail.
Any recommendations for a easy project?
