WSL might make things a bit more complicated to understand at first, so that’s fair.

What do you see if you type pwd into the terminal where you are working? What about ls? You can redact any personal info before pasting it in (ex. if your name is included in a file path).

• pwd will output the current directory, which can help you track down the right folder to open in VSCode
• ls will output a list of all files in the current directory. If you see weird looking entries like . or .., don’t worry about those (I’m happy to explain, but for now it’s not important)

Usually when you are working on something, you would put all the files related to that project in a folder. That highest level folder is the one that you open in VScode, since you will be able to see all the subfolders easily. For example, my folders might look like this

|- My Documents
|   |-repos
|   |   |-My New Website
|   |   | 
|   |   |-My app
|   |

In VSCode, you would open the “My New Website” folder when you are working on that project. In your case, you likely need to open whatever folder comes up from the output of pwd, or one of the subfolders (if that one shows “/…/…/repos”. If your terminal supports it, you might also be able to open the current folder in vscode with a command like code ., or in the file explorer with open .

If you have a messy setup, I would recommend learning some basic CLI commands for navigating your terminal first. That will help a lot for figuring out what is happening. Afterwards, you can easily navigate to the folder with all of your Odin Project files via. the terminal.

As for the repository, usually the repository is created from the root (the highest level) of whatever project you are working on. So if I cloned a repository called otter/my-new-website, the repository is tied to the folder my-new-website.

Commodore has had an interesting year. A retro-tech YouTuber got into discussions with the company and ended up buying it. I think they had plans to become a public benefit company of some kind, with a focus on openness and preserving old tech.

I’m surprised that the Wikipedia article doesn’t have a lot of details on those recent developments from the past year

Supposedly you can’t install some things. Hopefully this is an optional parental control feature, and not baked in to every phone. They would be losing a lot of potential nostalgia sales if they only chase after the “forced distraction free” market. Some people can control their usage without needing the device to do it for them. 🤷

The phone also blocks internet browsers and social media apps at a system level, “using patent-pending technology, eliminating temptation and designed with distraction-free schools in mind.” This ties in neatly with the upcoming ban on social media for the under-16s in the UK, but I can’t imagine there are many teenagers who even know what Commodore is.

I recommend just using discord in the browser instead of installing it, and muting most chats (or entire categories of chats) to quiet things down. The Odin project discord will likely be your best avenue for getting help.

Can you share what you have done so far and what you are unsure about? The section has a number of steps: https://www.theodinproject.com/lessons/foundations-git-basics#modify-a-file-or-two

For what it’s worth, I would guess that a lot of experienced people still look up guides or documentation on git when they need to do something that’s different from the basic clone/pull/commit/push. So don’t feel demotivated that you are having trouble wrapping your head around git.

I wonder what went wrong, hopefully all of the kids make a full recovery

Even canadians agree that we have a weird mix of different systems in play

Assuming that the patient is looking for movie style “hacking”, look for a local Capture the Flag team, a lot of universities will have them.

A locksmith is white hat. They provide a service with the consent of the other party, and they might be compensated for it.

A burglar is black hat.

See the sidebar in [email protected], where you can find some related communities.

Generally people don’t change instances (the site where you made an account) that much, so there is less discussion comparing them. People usually make an account on one site and then don’t move unless there’s a significant issue, and so people tend to only know what their home instance is like. There are some exceptions and controversies, which you might find posted about in places like [email protected]

Otherwise if you want to discuss communities or request communities, see [email protected] or [email protected]

This might be better as a prank on a friend when you visit their place, assuming that they’d enjoy that kind of thing

Seems like it’s because that was a duplicate post, or some other meta reason

The sample screenshot in the sidebar uses an anti-trump article, so it’s weird to suggest that they have a pro-trump bias.

It might be that this one can take non-PWA websites and make them behave like proper PWAs?

For some web apps, I want it to look and behave like an “app”, without the clutter of the extra menus that a browser has.

For others, I want it to have the protections and capabilities (ex. adblocking and extensions) that the browser has

It’s a spam bot

It might also be the kind of data center that is being built. Cheaper data centers are noisier, inefficient with water, etc

Working class areas may already be distrustful towards large companies coming along and using up all of the local resources
