The Color Out of Space. Most recent adaptation was in 2020, and has Nicholas Cage in it.

It wasn't a good thing in the movie, no... Though if I remember the original story, the color wasn't describable. Not bad art though. ๐Ÿ™‚

There's that space color again...

Various games mostly. For instance the Oxygen Not Included community is pretty dead, and I don't know of a community for Ark.

Mid-2022. I'd heard about it and finally decided to give it a try, though I didn't post a lot. These days I mostly only go to reddit when searches for information lead me to a post there, and occasionally for stuff that doesn't exist/is dead here (emacs, hydrohomies...)

"JFC so many searches related to elisp and linux..."

Oh, and I almost forgot, Roger Zelazny's Lord of Light.

The Discworld series, the Culture series by Iain Banks, Tolkien, Illuminatus!, GEB: The Eternal Golden Braid, The Book of Swords...

Because I've never seen a python class before that was 'no experience required' where they go "Well, normally we'd teach you about variables, and loops, functions and operator precedence...but you know what? Screw all that. Head first! YOLO! Write me some code."

If that is how that class is, I'd drop it and go hit youtube or something. How to Learn Python stuff is pretty available if you want to learn (and python is pretty useful).

So how did you end up with an assignment like this while apparently knowing little if any python? This feels like someone signed up for a class, blew it off, and now suddenly has tests and stuff to turn in.

My take: I don't recommend distros like mint because they're windows-y, I do it because they're good 'shit just works' starting points and Linux newbies probably don't need to be spending 2 hours figuring out why audio doesn't work or whatever. Once they get their feet under them and learn their way around a shell, etc then they can start playing around with other distros if they like.
