Try lua as a middle ground. It’s object based but more classical with the syntax.

I accidentally turned mine into a sub:

It was more the dicks showing up in class unprompted. Then, it was people sharing links to shock sites. Now we have to worry about people stealing information. That was always a thing, it’s just a lot more common now.

Edit: I also have to admit, I remember helping the teacher enough with their computer to get Admin privileges by using their console. It was literally stuff liking helping them make a PowerPoint full-screen. I’d download games and then dispense them through little known shared files on the network (usually old forgotten projects). I’d also save shortcuts to google proxies. In hindsight, that was exactly the kind of thing they’re probably trying to stop. I was pirating stuff at a young age. I definitely could’ve downloaded malware and shared it with the network.

I said the opposite of what I meant, my bad. I didn’t want to doxx myself and I tripped up.

I meant to say late. Are you gen z and getting old aswell? (Not an insult, I’m legit asking)

I’m the oldest of Gen z (late 1990s). I have two younger siblings who are also Gen Z. Typing was a skill we learned in middleschool/ elementary. When I was about 8, we learned how to use google because it was considered a great resource to find information. By the time my middle sibling was in similar classes, they moved away from Google due to NSFW search results. When my youngest sibling was in school, they worried about shock sites.

They’ve slowly been removing computers from the school curriculum because of fear of outside forces. That includes typing, sadly. This is all coming from someone who grew up in a Plato self self education plan. (Online, self studies)

I downloaded Ubuntu recently. Don’t hurt me

Same experience, but oddly I worked in telecoms.

Mine was, “that looks like something from resident evil”.

Anyone remember when the NSA knew about Eternalblue?

It already happened without their consent. You’ve been able to get it to produce “reddit text posts”, for years. This is a bit harrowing, though.

Lol, you know what I meant

It’s a private company. You can’t invest in them.

It was crypto scam wasn’t it?

Edit: it was crypto scam…

That fucking sucks. Tor and crypto go hand in hand, for reasons.

The only thing I ever bought we’re psychedelics, but it’s pretty easy/ safe to do that over the regular web without crypto/ Tor these days. Spore traders are waaaaaaay more reliable.

Irony

Fair. For me, I’m actively working with the customer, and they can forget something at any moment, and you have to go back, so you have to keep them all open as reference, until the end of the call. You do “prune” them as you go along though. I swear, though: the second you close out that tab they’ll have a question for that exact tab you just closed out. You also can’t memorize things because they always change, you just have to get good at navigating the resources. Maybe that’s a bit niche.

If you work from home and you have go through a bunch of web resources, it’s really nice. Most of the time you’re opening new tabs, instead of being in the same tab. That way you still have the old web page for reference.

Specifically any job over the phone, it’s almost mandatory. I love closing all the tabs at the end of the call, though.
