Maybe safe is the wrong word in my post. I mean keeping the data safe from meta in the respect that I don't want them to have it.
Their record in data privacy is not so great so I'm keen to keep my data away from Meta if I can.
+1 for reaper. Its free to "demo" forever with no limitations and is much closer to a traditional DAW than audacity. So many plugins and scripts to customise too, such a great tool I can never recommend it enough to anyone wanting to do anything from simple audio edits/conversions to full fat tracking and mixing sessions.
Like others have said it depends on the field you want to code for and language choice. The field might inform your language choice.
I'd highly recommend python as your first if you're just looking to get stuck in. It'll teach good fundamentals, it doesn't have a steep learning curve and it has a very wide set of applications plus loads of community support.
This website is what I recommend to anyone wanting to learn python:

I also tried Joplin and while it's great while using it, there's no background sync and never will be. That's a huge pain when you're mobile and need to get at your notes but have little or no signal.
I've been getting on well with notesnook, the self hosting is in beta right now but its just a docker container. Docs are coming for self hosting in the near future.
It's the same game and no major changes to the story, but bosses have some legendary actions, it's more difficult to find things, long rests cost double, no save scumming, everything is more expensive etc.
What i've found is accidentally failing a roll has caused some real problems for me down the line, the thing that can really screw you over is a bad roll rather than a tricky combat.
They're so comfortable and sound incredible, they're mostly intended for audio work which I do use them for but for gaming they're so precise and clear too! Also incredibly comfy and loads of aftermarket stuff available for the dt700 pro x which are also excellent.
Nice comparison. Thanks for sharing! Any reason NordVPN was excluded?
