@dredmorbius So many true things in that post!
@ebel looking at https://hooktube.com/watch?v=FEU632_Em3g now: you can’t code away their wealth. I hope that’s a good one?
@brennen @deshipu @codesections definitely! I was sooooo happy when I finally got SuSE 4.4 or whatever it was to run on my desktop with 4MB of RAM. Had to buy extra RAM to get X11!
@maiki no experience with full proxies, sorry.
@pettter Ha, I recently failed at installing Prosody. Must try again one day.
@john Sounds daunting to me and I’m a Java dev. 😀
@deshipu @codesections hm. How much programming is there is mods for Skyrim and the like? Perhaps that’s an intermediate step?
@JensE Yeah, perhaps it’s only a Dropbox/Google Drive solution.
@Wolf480pl @codesections Yeah. And doing the Rasbian install or whatever you need.
@john I agree! Specially because you can write Python code to build stuff I heard. That sounded really promising. Perhaps that was Raspberry Pi only?
@Nuntius I see a few people at the office interested in arduinos, or making modules for modular synthesizers and the like. It’s much rarer than C64s when I was young though, and it seems to be the same people and not their kids? But perhaps that’s my selection bias of course.
@Nuntius That is a an excellent counter argument. Parents should give their teenage kids phones that can be jail-broken!
@brook Yeah. I just wonder how we could take advantage of that.
@brook Maybe. Sadly, that seems like a thing of the future. A few years or a decade at least before phones reach the steady states laptops have reached, for example. Right now the fact that kids are acculturated using closed platforms like tablets and phones is a major problem, I think.
@Elmkast sadly so!
@codesections True, I had forgotten about Minecraft and the like.
@kensanata I think (hope?) that the worst days are behind us when it comes to kids not having a good path from play to programing. We went through a period where everything was locked down, windows or console gaming, no real customization in sight. But now, with easy robotics, Raspberry Pis, and competitive programing, it really feels like things have turned a corner. Even MineCraft feels like a step in the right direction, though not as far as a Pi robot
@technomancy Or we could just really jam with code and mission writing! We just need to find the time. I don’t really want to write mission-mods in my nerd cave all by myself. 😀
@ajroach42 @freakazoid I follow both of you so unless you have backchannels, I’ll be there! 😀
@linkskywalker Yeah! And post a bunch of pictures for me to see!
