Not sure if you've tried reading any textbooks? (I only see mention of Documentation or youtube)

But depending on the language you'd like to learn there's a wide range of textbooks with different writing styles! Some that are more dry, dense, hard to parse; and others that are written in a friendlier manner which can be helpful for newer folks.

A big plus they typically also have excercises at the end of chapters along the lines of "write a program that accomplishes this goal" or "write a guessing game that works like this".

You don't have to hit them exactly but they can also be helpful for sparking ideas of a program that you would actually like to write!

There's also things like Rustlings or Ziglings that are designed to help you learn the language through solving code exercises, personally I really enjoyed Ziglings

    Completly off topic, but English is such a frustrating written language. Re-read (is that past-tense or future-tense? unimportant!) the first part of the headline several times because I was reading:

    Alphabet shares (as in file share) record (as in Guiness World) their worst day ever

    Then pausing to try and decide if my brain was melting or there was a grammatical error; turns out I just read it poorly!

    Whoever decided things like they're, their, there should all sound the same, and read, read should look the same; I wish them the worst day on record.

    I believe the defining feature of the metroidvania genre is that it's essentially an open world, but certain paths are barred by the need of a specific item/movement mechanic. Like "you need to learn double jump to reach the high platform that lets you access this new area".

    Where as Dark Souls immediately lets you wander into the graveyard or spooky ghost area and get your ass handed to you repeatedly until you wonder, oh maybe this wasn't the best path!

    • Who gives a fuck about the economy imploding at the expense of the extinction of our species?
    • The 'economy' is made up nonsense to enrich the most morally bankrupt involved while shitting on everyone else.
    • The death of our planet's ecosystem is a real possible future we are facing; let the economy burn.

    I haven't used kate but does it not have some sort of easy search?

    ex. pacman -Qm to list AUR packages; should display the 3/4 pkgs you have installed. Then just search in kate for those 3/4 results?

    Alternatively cat & grep in the terminal is pretty straight forward.

    That is if it's 3/4 pkgs that are from AUR, but if someone has hundreds installed that is a bigger issue on its own.
