Thank you! Then it sounds like the more sensible path is JavaScript and nodejs. While I like the idea of personal challenge, I am trying to learn how to do this so I can get out of the skullduggery of my present career as a senior desktop support engineer. I see myself more going towards DevOps with it. From the reading I did about DevOps, it seems that I would need at least some familiarity with a programing language. I am thinking if I could get a handle on JavaScript and python, I would be in pretty good shape, yes?
This is certainly not an easy task! Hell, I am 46 years old and still figuring out life. 🤣 In all seriousness though, you will probably change careers 2-3x in your life or more. Maybe just figure out something that you could see yourself doing for the next 5-10 years and have a go at it? That would be my recommendation. Choose a career that will at least pay you enough so that you can live with a bit of comfort.
It is almost a drop in replacement for Reddit. I had an easier time figuring out Lemmy than Mastodon and I’ve only been in the LemmyVerse now for 5 days.
I think people to the left of Democratic Socialists need to start reading up on anarchy and anarchism. It’s not about lawlessness and disorder but about horizontally focused civilization. It’s about anti-authoritarianism.
In Lemmy, subreddits are known as communities. You join a community by its name, for example !mycommunity. Do a search for that community, click on the search result, and you’ll be given an option to subscribe. Note that the search might come up as 0 results even though you got the community name right. It’s just taking longer to find the community.
Well point of fact, yes, look at Chinese history. Chinese history is often summed up as being the “Dynastic Cycle.” A dynasty would be generations of a single family ruling over a population.
It’s quite a challenge. Start with something that you think might interest you, look it up on the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) website. See what kind of education it requires and what the typical career progression is. Normally I don’t trust government websites but this is considered reliable and politically neutral.
