No Stupid Questions
No such thing. Ask away!
!nostupidquestions is a community dedicated to being helpful and answering each others' questions on various topics.
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules (interactive)
Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.
All posts must be legitimate questions, and all post titles must include a question. Questions that are joke or trolling questions, memes, song lyrics as title, etc. are not allowed here. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.
Rule 2- Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material.
Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.
If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.
Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.
If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.

Really? how so :000 Im- a bit curious about PC building, I wanna learn that Desktop computer jargon I hear some people use
I’ve worked in IT and software development. I moved back to IT because I need customer interactions to derive job satisfaction. It’s great because I’ve been at a managed service provider (MSP) and now at a gov org. MSP is a great way to speedrun a bunch of technologies and build proficiency. The gov job is far less demanding and is like being on cruise control.
Build yourself a PC and start a homelab. Read stuff on r/homelab (and same on Lemmy, but the old site has way more content for exposure when you’re new). Check out questions on ServerFault to find out about things you find interesting. Ask questions. People are generally helpful.
Good luck!
Do you like configuration? Network engineer! Lots and lots of jobs in that field. The dress code thing is gonna limit a lot of entry level jobs though, I'd think. You probably won't get a help desk job at a traditional office but who knows. Lots of jobs are remote which opens up some possibilities if you have the skills
Learning to build a PC is a great start for literally any computer job. Are there any computer stores (local, not like best buy) near you?
Ouhhh network stuff sounds pretty neat. I also have a bit of interest in cyber security
"Datacenter Operations". These are the people that bless the racks, perform the Ritual of the Wires, have access to the Room Of Windy Floors, and get to keep stacks of dead hard drives under their desks as footrests.
You don't even need a degree, just show up to any data center with a vape and a hoodie and they'll probably just let you in, especially if it's third shift. Closest thing you'll ever have to working in an isekai dungeon.
(I have nothing but respect for the datacenter denizens)
SIGN ME UP THEN!
Network engineer, cybersecurity, and to a lesser extent devops don't require much, if any, programming skills
