AI is really maths heavy, just so you're aware. Using Tensorflow or Scikit learn is fine, but unless you understand the math you'll be at a disadvantage.

Hey I can see a lot of people are recommending sysadmin roles, but reading your comments you seem like you're more interested in software development. They're two very different fields and software Dev pays a lot more on average.
It's hard to transition from sysadmin to dev, I've worked in IT as a system administrator for over a decade and I don't know anyone personally whose done it. I wouldn't count on moving into software development from IT.
Either of these positions are immeasurably better than retail :)

Yeah Rust can do all of those things as well, JavaScript is obviously much more common.
Lenovo ThinkPads are really well built. I'd steer clear of their ideapads though, they're the usual consumer marketed rubbish.
The cost is reasonable, you can get 1tb of storage for around £10 a month. Most Seedboxes will let you install VPN servers on them as well, I'm not sure what you pay for specific VPN software nowadays. So you could theoretically replace Netflix, Amazon Prime, Hulu etc and have a VPN.
They're basically required for building ratio on private trackers nowadays.
I wouldn't bother tbh. As soon as you start using it in your torrent client other users can see your IP address anyway.
Seedboxes are a pretty good solution.
No, if they bring it up in conversation respectful questions are fair game.
I don't agree with that, here's a study from Oxford University confirming vegan diets are on average 33% cheaper than omniverous diets.
It can be expensive going vegan if you eat brand name fake meat every day but everyday vegan staples (chickpeas, lentils, beans etc) cost very little.
Just double checked the definition of causal here and I'm pretty sure it is. As the demand for a product falls, less is produced.
I don't think I agree with this, as less people buy meat the demand for it falls. As the demand falls less is produced. Kind of a simple take I guess but I don't think your comment makes sense.
Is there an angle to this that I've missed?
Probably not, programming languages are just tools usd to do jobs. If you like databasey bits you could look at backend work, you'd need to know some SQL like Postgres or MySql. Postgres has a pretty good tutorial on their site here.
If you do go down that route I'd pick up a front-end language as well. JavaScript, HTML and CSS are what you're after. When you've got the basics of those down learn whatever frameworks popular in your area. Probably React or Nextjs.
