@Jules i love making assholes uncomfortable. i'm an autistic trans woman, so this isnt hard to do.
any time i encounter a thing i dont know i will just boldly declare it and ask for help. usually this works out fine.
but sometimes i get one of those assholes and i say "wow, youre really gonna shit on me for not knowing something? you have the opportunity to see someone understand/discover/see something for the first time and you spend that being an asshole instead?"
it works

A word of warning to anyone upgrading to Mastodon 1.3(.1)!!!
Starting with 1.3(.1) Private posts will federate! But they don't do so securely! Warnings are built in but be aware that if you have followers on GNU Social, Friendica, or postActiv then they will **NOT** know that your post is marked private/followers-only!! And they **will** be able to boost it!! Once they do so, it becomes a public post
This is not opt-in, it just happens post-update
If this worries you, go audit your followers
Gute Nacht Mastodon 🌝

@Jules as someone who is self taught, every day at my job is a nightmare for me because i never know what's "ok" to not know
I really hate this thing where "not knowing stuff" is kind of the worst thing that someone can admit in tech-world. This is why so many people struggle to learn things, are afraid to ask questions,...
All these "everyone knows this!"-guys and their not very funny "jokes" are just so not useful or helpful. Especially in spaces that are MEANT for learning things!
There are some python trainings on https://www.lynda.com/ in case some of you have access (via university, job?). Not free though...
(Now I'm typing 2 #hashtags instead of 1, so much for #pcode is shorter ^^)
I need all the beautiful programming languages to get over these years of Java and C and all the exams. I like C, it's my first language, but!!
Ok wow there are 18 people in the gitlab group now? #pcode #practicecoding

What's the etiquette on #Github projects, do I fork even if I probably won't contribute any changes, or do I just copy/download and then fork later if I happen to find something I think I can fix/add?
All I want to do right now is look at the code for #Tusky and perhaps build my own version. So is forking still the way to go, or just take a copy of the code?
Dear #practicecoding #pcode people,
please have a look at the Issues in the firststeps project on gitlab. (Join the pcode group first: https://gitlab.com/pcode).
Issues are the place to discuss all our issues, obviously ^^
We could use #pcode instead of #practicecoding? Because all the typing ^^
Ok #practicecoding people.
Did wie decide on anything?
Are we going for Python?
