I haven’t come across a single tutorial that ‘unlocks’ GIMP for new users (if I’m reading your question correctly) but I’ve found Davies Media Design to be an excellent resource for video tutorials, both free and paid. Also Bernard Hooft has provided a free video course and book.
Be aware that lots of learning resources are being updated after the 3.0 release, so some tutorials may no longer be valid.
It is an honest question with zero subtext. You’re free to mock me if you want but the post is intended for honest and sincere discussion about people’s lives.
And is that typical in the culture you’re from?
That’s a pretty unusual upbringing! How do you feel about it now that you’ve grown up? Are you a Wiccan yourself?
For sure. And just to be 100% clear: child welfare needs to be our top priority at all times and in all places, with no exceptions. Lemmy is international and multicultural though and the post is already producing thoughtful and responsible discussion based on lived experience.
I’m happy for mods to remove the post or even to remove it myself if the discussion becomes toxic or unsafe.
Would it work to selfhost a Peertube instance?
Who is the Payment Service Provider?
I can’t tell if this is decentralised.
What do other people in your area do?
How do you not meet people? Even if you’re stuck in front of a computer all day you can go out to a pub or something at the weekend. Put yourself in a social environment and be friendly. It sounds like you even have experience of that from school and uni.
I don’t have a problem with the words - I have a problem with them getting appropriated and destroyed by corporates.
Meeting people is much possible in the real world.
I can happily deep focus almost indefinitely, including putting off eating but only if I’m really interested in doing something. I can also doggedly persevere with something I feel like I ought to do but become progressively more depressed doing it. I’m starting to think I may have something like ADHD but need to look into it a bit more.
My advice to you is to listen to yourself. If you’re reaching a limit of how much time you want to spend on something take a break from it. You’ll get more done that way and your learning will probably be more effective. Or it may even be worth reassessing whether you really want to do it at all. It’s fine (and very important IMHO) to refine & update your goals to ones that suit you better. You might be tempted to beat yourself up about being a ‘quitter’ but it will be better.
Sail forth and find your dopamine :)
I’ve had success using Czkawka (hiccup) for deduplicating
VPNs hide your IP from your ISP and anyone they share that information with. Here in the UK ISPs keep a record of every internet connection you make and pass it on to the government and perhaps others. Using a VPN here means that instead of them knowing every single website you visit they just know you are using a VPN (or Tor, or a proxy etc if that’s what you’re using). All they can tell from that data is what time you’re active online and how much data you upload/download, not which websites you’re visiting.
The websites that you connect to at the other end can still determine who you are by means other than your IP address, like information that your machine presents to them which is unique. VPNs don’t protect against this.
A VPN is like a private courier. What the recipient does with the delivered message (and what you’ve put in it) is out of the courier’s hands.
Just the fact that NordVPN claims to protect your privacy means that the average person hears about privacy a lot
Why couldn’t that bird get a sleeping bag like the hamster did? Seems a bit drastic taping it down by the neck
Not sure whether it helps but after the last major update on YUNOhost it notified me of a few extra DNS entries I had to make. If I remember correctly it was under Domains, rather than Diagnosis.
