Aside from the software aspect, how much do you actually know about your computer?
Does anyone actually go deep enough to read the documentation of their CPU, technical manuals etc.?
I'm not talking about knowing just the specification, but more than that.

i know the computerphile analogy:
> hard drive is like a book you are copying out
> cpu is like how fast you can write
> ram is like how much you can remember at a time, ie. it is quicker if you can remember more in one go, but at some point the cpu bottlenecks you

gpu wasn't included in that beautiful analogy.

I tried /to/, but maybe this is a better place to ask.

At the moment I have a clean Windows 7 install on my X220, but I decided I wanted to dual boot with Manjaro. I can clear up room for a partition just fine, but when I try to actually create it and install Manjaro I get an error.

Anyone got any ideas as to what the deal may be? For what it's worth, I'm using an SSD.

What language should I start learning if I want to make a lil music player program compatible with Win/macOS.
All I know is some C++ I learned in high school but we mostly used it for shitty maths problems.

You could stick to C++ and a sound library that works on all platforms.
If you also want a graphical interface, adding one with Qt is really easy.

You could also use something like python, to speed up the progress of development.

You could probably find a replacement screen and keyboard on ebay for any laptop (if your laptop has a replaceable keyboard that is).

And replacing them really isn't that hard. At most it's just finicky with the thin plastic bezels.

Can we blame Javascript for the current bloated web experience?

No, we have to blame overuse of JS in tasks where it's not intended to be.

javascript isn't the problem, proper javascript done correctly can shave a ton of time off of page loading times and anyone who doesn't believe this has clearly never used the web pre-2005 ish

the problem, as always, is the shitty dodgy advertising companies that moved away from god awful flash ads to image/html5 video coupled with javascript ads with the web developers wanting to get in on the selling user data craze for pennies more per 100,000 views and implementing 5 different analytic gatherers, load balancers, offloading js development by using (((free))) libraries that are hosted off site to further scrape as much userdatas as they can

note that sites that don't do any of these shitty advertising/analytic practices that are heavy on javascript work fine
