  • I DO have an ad blocker. I still ended up seeing an ad, that one time. It might’ve been on mobile. Or I might have had my ad block turned off. Either way, I’ve gone out of my way to make sure I never see an ad in my email again. Used mobile devtools to uninstall the Gmail client, Firefox with uBlock add-on, etc…



  • I got pissed off at Google Photos, which led me down a self-hosting rabbit hole. Ended up installing Linux everywhere, even my “gaming” one eventually (I do development, and WSL was a resource hog).

  • Maybe unpopular opinion, but… if you’re not interested in learning DSA with any form of rigidity, you don’t have to learn those right out the gate. Just get your feet through the door. Build a small project, automate something - you will learn about your chosen language’s data structures by default. If there comes a point in time where you’re expected to know about DSA, you’ll probably have found the reasons/motivation by then
