Nope, the Microsoft authenticator is slightly different, and other authenticators won't work. I just went through this with my IT dep. Microsoft authenticator will sometimes pop the numbers up on the computer and make you enter it in the app, not the other way around.

    I got 16 gb on my W11 laptop, and I'm regularly bouncing off the 13 gb point where swap/ compression/ whatever kicks in and shit gets slow, doing relatively benign shit like browsing the web, YouTube and Gmail open, and vscode running working on some python shit. On 8 gb I'd probably have to use my phone for everything except vscode to get it to fit. It's not the lightest possible workload, but it shouldn't be slamming swap so regularly.

    There was a big push a few years ago to come up with an alternative to "vegan" to put on packaging, and they came up with "Plant-based" as the euphemism of choice. I don't recall what the major driver was, it was either from vegans who say veganism entails more than just "don't put animal products directly into the product" or if it was manufacturers who thought the word "vegan" would scare away normies after decades of bad mouthing.

    I saw it coming immediately that plant-based doesn't mean "vegan but they didn't bother certifying" but rather that it means "has some part that is mostly plants", see the Jimmy Dean plant based patty sandwiches.

    If it ain't got that (V) you gotta start deciphering the ingredients list cause those Fulkerson will put in anything

    No that makes a ton of sense. I do definitely worry that you're taking on too many complex adjacent things at once then. I myself use docker containers inside WSL to do dev work with Git and all these various things on a daily basis, but it took me a few years to feel comfortable like this. I think I would suggest you focus on the coding (python, javascript, etc etc) first and if it's something that you can do in windows using just vscode, thats going to have less friction than trying to learn git at the same time as trying to learn command-line Linux. And once you feel comfortable with vscoding in windows, swap over to vscode in wsl, that way the IDE (vscode) is still familiar, but now you're layering on the next level. And honestly, Git is pretty low on the stuff to learn. I know entire companies that do software version ingredients and sharing via email (aka, when Bob updates code he and Alice both use, he just emails her a copy) crazy, but it works for them.

    On the other hand, this Odin project looks pretty well set up so that maybe after a couple weeks of feeling terrible, you pop out on the other side where it took me years to get to!

    Can you explain what your overall goal is? By the looks of your recent post history, you seem to be overloading with new things. I would mention, if you're just trying to learn git, there are windows ways you use git, so you don't also have to learn Linux at the same time. I used tortoisegit for a long time, and github has an app. If you're trying to learn programming in general, I would just use vscode in windows and not worry about git yet. Do you have a concrete idea of where you want to be in X time?

    This reads like AI slop, and when you get to the end, it turns out even the graph was made by an AI, and the whole thing is just an ad for an AI company to try to corner another market, this time the "good looking but bad infographic" that is all the rage on Dataisbeatiful and the like. Great.
