Ok, first, I’m genuinely curious about this. Honestly, I’m not trolling. I toyed briefly with some version of *nix years ago (maybe 20 or so) but didn’t get it, or it didn’t get me, or something, and I’ve been content to let Apple do all the heavy lifting for me and my computers. That said, can someone explain to me why there are so many versions, or implementations of it? What’s the point of that? Feel free to #ExplainToMeLikeIm5 if you feel the need. (Yes, I know macOS is Linux-based.)

Can someone please #ExplainToMeLikeIm5 WHY THE FUCK DOES A #CHARGER NEED "#Cloud" and "#AI" 'features' or a shitty, non-self adjusting #Clock ???

• Worse even: This isn't like some fancy "Lab Equipment" to do custom charge voltage and amperage curves or something where said settings may come in handy (Like needing to charge or discharge a custom cell / battery pack design/chemistry), but it's just a giant #GaN #USB #PowerDelivery block, so there is no reason to shove an #LCD (or even #OLED) into that case to begin with!

THIS IS NOT A "BENCHTOP POWER SUPPLY" WITH DIALS AND KNOBS!

I have a question about #passkeys. I haven’t changed any of my accounts over to passkeys—don’t @ me, ok—because I’m old or some such, but there’s a google account I use for a club I’m a member of. With a password, if I wanna hand over the account to someone I just give them the password. Is it that simple with a passkey? I just give them the passkey? Sounds too easy. #ExplainToMeLikeIm5

Pretty pretty please, can someone start (or help me find learning resources to organize) manpages/docs/forums/feeds/wikis/whatever for a #fediverse #n00b / #newbie re: differing federated services - #mastodon #pixelfed #peertube #loops #lemmy etc? Example: do I need to join multiple instances? Can I cross-populate posts in my other feeds?
Pls where can I #rtfm or facilitate/volunteer for searchable Q&A-sharing forums??? #explaintomelikeiam5 #explaintomelikeim5 #tellmewheretogo #FediverseTips

I'm trying to use nvim-dap and nvim-dap-python to debug Python code in NeoVim, and besides installing the plugins using vim-plug, I'm totally clueless. Reading the manual is like reading alien language documents.

I guess it's time to hit up youtube and see if someone can explain NeoVim plugins to me like I'm five.

Can someone explain to me like I’m 5?

If residential debt service is the largest contributor to inflation, then aren’t interest rate raises inflationary? At least until they trigger residential debt deleveraging through a wave of defaults/repos?

Is widespread bankruptcy the inevitable collateral damage?
