Oh man. I remember that screen. It happened when I installed Windows 10 on my MBR partition table back then. Shit messed up the partition table and I had to manually tell GRUB my Linux partition to boot. But I eventually fixed it by reinstalling it.

Oh yeah, I had given that a try, but the installation was too huge. It took like 2 GB. The dependecies were huge as well. But maybe it'd be less on Ubuntu. I will give it a shot again. I heard that language doesn't have loops; I guess you've got to be good with recursion to get good at it lol.

Or maybe people rely on map like function of Python.

Well, mainly because religion cut my penis (circumcised). But, TBF, religions never made any sense to me. As a kid, I was forced to go to Madrassas in my free time after school. The kids there would argue for silly reasons and the preacher would tell me to learn useless sentences in Arabic. Apparently, this God can only hear you if you tell him in Arabic. That didn't make any sense either.

When I went to a new school, in my middle school years, on my first day's break time, a group of students came to me and greeted me. They said they wanted to be my friends. Well, I thought that's cool, as I hadn't made any friends yet. Subsequently, they asked what my religion is. Well, I told them what religion I was being taught. They immediately then changed their expressions. They uttered I don't look like people of my religion. IDK why though. Anyway, these middle-school kids only befriend people of their religion. That moment made me have a disgust for religions since then. I kept my distance from these kids after that too.

Hi, I spent some time trying out the dictd package. I also read this protocol's specification. As things are right now, each host-name would require its own parser, because I couldn't notice a very similar pattern between them. Webster, Jargon, wn, all these have their own standardization for including synonyms and examples.

The specification doesn't enforce any pattern on the definitions either. I don't think it's going to be very useful even if I do implement it because the parsers are going to be quite complicated.

Ah that. That shouldn't be a lot of work as all the visual stuff are done by separate functions. I can do it. I will look into it.

My OOP experience isn't from Java, but I get your point. I don't really have a dislike for OO; it sure does have its applications. I once met a dude who was trying to use an object oriented library in a functional way; the result of that was a mess full of complications. I feel a good balance is necessary.

You mean, like, support for the dict protocol for this program's interface? I am also scraping a dictionary's data, so I am a little confused.

I doubt Microsoft is that dumb, though.

Having to learn a programming language to get things working there makes it a distribution only for nerds.

I agree fully. I basically never download music anymore, because I can get all the music I can think of on Spotify for a few bucks a month.

I recently started music pirating because I listen to a lot of genres and I want to shuffle them. If I use Spotify, I am limited to their shitty shuffler, but if I download my music offline, I can shuffle however I want. My favorite algorithm to shuffle my huge bunch of music is to shuffle them by genre. Now I get to listen to interesting music with full control over the algorithm used.

Also, there are frequent power cuts in my area, so an offline library always proves useful. I also visit places where internet connections are not available.
