Although I understand if you don’t wish to stop using git.

My local library gives me access to O’Reilly Online, so free textbook access for just about any topic.

90’s? I assumed it was from the 80s or earlier

Building from source is the opposite of hacky. It’s the recommended way to deal with things like this where you are concerned about trust and security. I understand that it’s not something you’ve done before, but it not as complicated as it sounds. There are many tutorials on how to build programs from source.

I understand that providing official packages for fedora/rhel, Ubuntu/debian, and arch-based distro packages along with a flatpack and Appimage would make a lot of sense, but for whatever reason, signal has decided not to. Perhaps you can message the signal team to ask why they choose not to do this.

I like the ethos behind Purism, I was worried they wouldn’t be profitable at all. I hope this is enough profitablity to attract greater investment to grow and create economies of scale and lower the retail price and reduce lead times to be in line with the rest of the market.

I’ve been comparing crates on crates.io against their upstream repositories in an effect to detect (and, ultimately, help prevent) supply chain attacks like the xz backdoor1, where the code published in a package doesn’t match the code in its repository.

The results of these comparisons for the most popular 9992 crates by download count are now available. These come with a bunch of caveats that I’ll get into below, but I hope it’s a useful starting point for discussing code provenance in the Rust ecosystem.

No evidence of malicious activity was detected as part of this work, and approximately 83% of the current versions of these popular crates match their upstream repositories exactly.

Maybe someone could modify peertube to be more microblog-like

Mp3 is a proprietary format on copyright. Some idiot ceo can came and change the rules, let’s add an ads mandatory for each decoder.

This is not true. Copyright is not relevant to an encoding standard. The standard has been unchanged for 26 years and all legal claims of patent rights related to implimentations of the standard have expired before May 2017.

@[email protected] you should probably know about this as well.

repl.it is probably an option here.

But I’m curious why you think that programming in a browser is better than running on your own hardware.

I’m very confused about what your requirements are based on reading your post and some of your responses to comments, but I’m going to suggest that you look into Quarto

Oh. I was thinking opensource and the organizations above that pay for Discourse to host for them a are non-profit. I don’t know why I read the post body and forgot about the title.

I guess programming.dev sorta fits except the UI is different. Maybe someone can create a frontend that mimics the Stack Overflow UI.

There are many Discourse forums for various programming related tools, services, and programming languages. I’ve shared 3 examples below.

Ghost has integration with Gumroad

You’ll find Go From The Beginning much more suitable for working hands on with challenges relevant to each lesson.

Think Python is a top quality book for learning. The latest version of Think Python by Allen B. Downey is available for free online in the form of interactive Jupyter notebooks hosted on Google Colab meaning you don’t need to set up, install, or configure anything up front to start learning to program using python. I think it’s 100% the best way for complete beginners to start.

While you’re working through Think Python, you can get real time feedback and answers here in [email protected] (https://programming.dev/c/python) or:

• Matrix python room

• Discord Python server

• PySlackers Slack Python channel

They are all quite active and helpful to new learners.

When you are ready to install and run Python locally on your hardware you can refer to the Official Python Documentation. There is a section dedicated to installing and using Python

I don’t know what that means

Should be Scrimba.com

Languages that caught my attention were Julia, Clojure and Go.

What about these languages caught your attention?

What are some good resources for someone like me who likes to learn by doing things?

Every job has parts that you don’t like. You need to learn the skills that you get paid to use or find someone to pay you for the skills you have.

Linux is as frustrating to someone that has built up a skill set with Windows centric knowledge base.
