Hi I'm looking to make my own website to host articles and stories I've written. I wanted to do Wordpress but like I found out its going to put ads on my screen. I've got no money and no time to learn programming skills. Is there an open source version of Wordpress where it doesn't monetize everything and where I can change my font?

Also if you just want a simple webpage you don't even need to code it. You can literally just ask chatgpt to write the full html to your specifications

Also, static sytes generators like HUGO are a thing

 

>>22781
If a site like neocities is taking care of the hosting, and your password is half-decent, and you aren't accepting user input on your site, then it's extremely unlikely your site will get hacked.

If you find that fine to use, great. The plus side is that they can automatically manage blog things like pagination (the page numbers at the bottom) and post tags.

 

>>22778
whtevr method u decide on usin, share the url under this thread. if ur worried about le hackers, i'd be happy to pentest it free of charge.

 

I was also thinking about running my own blog. But then I realized, that I can just use leftypol to dump my schizo ramblings. This is much easier!

All you missed out on was a couple years of inflated FAGMAN salaries in a tiny high cost of living area. There are still fun developer jobs, and if anything you can get WFH at small companies a lot easier if that floats your boat. Programming is still fun.

trvthnvke, same for me, it's a myth started by transhumanist unemployed ""coders"" to cope with the difference between their desire to be and belief that they are good coders, and the objective truth of the objective reality, by associating their apparel with
Most of xem i see online work in You'll Never Be A Real Programmer(tm) languages, like Python, JS, some Rustranshumanists too.

Great advice for the few Chads wishing to do compiled languages, but nowadays most is done in shiterpreted languages

>>25673
That's good advice if you want to write 20 lines in the language. OP mentionned he wants to be a software engineer, not a ""coder""" though. When you are engineering software, there is way more than just the syntax. You can't know the performance, ecosystem, use cases, job market situation, build system etc… from the syntax

You take for granted that your home was built to an acceptable standard, that the food you eat is not poisonous, that your electrical hardware will not catch fire due to poor assembly. You are not expected, nor should you be, to be a fully qualified mechanic in order to drive a car, nor a fully qualified builder to use a hammer. In most civilized countries, you do not have to file a US-style complex tax return, it is all handled automatically and painlessly. Expecting people to be domain-matter experts regarding every tool they use is an inane and deeply unserious idea pushed only by two types of people: those who are so naive they don't understand a world exists outside their blinders, and those who are disingenuous and simply want to feel superior to others.

 

Linux didn't won. It is actually dying and it is being killed by corpos. What will computing look like in the next 5-10 years? Linux is a psyop and it becomes more obvious with every passing year. The future of computing is fucked and there is no hope.

 

>>25763
>Expecting people to be domain-matter experts

This wasn't my point. My point is, that technology has become so complex, that even the so called experts don't even know, how it works. And this is very apparent in computertechnology and medicine. Nobody knows how AI or psychmeds actually work.Yet, we are supposed to listen to the "experts".

 

>>25765
In part that's fair. The web, for example, is a horrible standards clusterfuck. Building a functional browser engine from scratch would be a challenge even for a Microsoft tier company.

 

>>25761
then it's unfortunate if they dont have the ability to understand how the tool works even in the most basic ways

Contrary to the popular conception, electronic fabs are a dirty industry. When they were build in the US in the 70's and 80s they were in massive industrial parks surrounded by tree lines as they pollute the air and water. Ex MOS tech employees from Pennsylvania have commented at how disgusting the ground water around the fab was.

I think it's a really good visual demo of the problem with these neural network systems. Text doesn't give the same uncanny appearance that these images do, and there's a lot more data in a pic so the "corruption" and artifacting stands out way more.

Will there ever be an alternative video platform that matches its ability to let you regularly put out content to a large audience?
Vimeo comes close but you have to pay to exceed the limits and the audience is definitely more limited.

Why is Windows the only major operating system to come with a warranty that it will work as advertised in its licence?

Windows license:
>Limited Warranty. Depending on how you obtained the Windows software, Microsoft, or the device manufacturer or installer, warrants that properly licensed software will perform substantially as described in any Microsoft materials that accompany the software. This limited warranty does not cover problems that you cause, that arise when you fail to follow instructions, or that are caused by events beyond the reasonable control of Microsoft, or the device manufacturer or installer. The limited warranty starts when the first user acquires the software, and lasts for one year if acquired from Microsoft, or for 90 days if acquired from a device manufacturer or installer. If you obtain updates or supplements directly from Microsoft during the 90-day term of the device manufacturer’s or installer’s limited warranty, Microsoft provides the limited warranty for those updates or supplements…
OSX license:
>TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, THE APPLE SOFTWARE AND SERVICES ARE PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE”, WITH ALL FAULTS AND WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, AND APPLE AND APPLE'S LICENSORS (COLLECTIVELY REFERRED TO AS “APPLE” FOR THE PURPOSES OF SECTIONS 7 AND 8) HEREBY DISCLAIM ALL WARRANTIES AND CONDITIONS WITH RESPECT TO THE APPLE SOFTWARE AND SERVICES, EITHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES AND/OR CONDITIONS OF MERCHANTABILITY, SATISFACTORY QUALITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, ACCURACY, QUIET ENJOYMENT, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT OF THIRD PARTY RIGHTS.
I also checked if Mac OS 9 had a warranty (in case Windows' was just left in from the 1990s) and found that although apple did offer a warranty for the install disks themselves, they had a very aggressive disclaimer for the software, even including "NO ORAL OR WRITTEN INFORMATION OR ADVICE GIVEN BY APPLE OR AN APPLE AUTHORIZED REPRESENTATIVE SHALL CREATE A WARRANTY…" lol.

MIT license (Standing in for most GNU/Linux distros, which usually use MIT or GPL.):
>THE SOFTWARE IS PROVIDED “AS IS”, WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO THE WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE AND NONINFRINGEMENT. IN NO EVENT SHALL THE APost too long. Click here to view the full text.

 

>>25695
Microsoft is the sole developer and vendor of their proprietary software. Open-source and shareware developers usually disclaim warranty from anything they release, so they can prevent, with the minimum possible effort, some hypothetical company from doing something stupid with it, like using it in a safety critical system without proper expertise, and busting a lawyer on their asses for it.

I'm unsure why Apple doesn't have it. Maybe it's because OSX incorporates some open-source software in their releases or they can just get away with it. Windows definitely needs some kind of warranty though, because the base-system for home desktop-use and commercial installations has been mostly the same since XP. I'm pretty any license for one of the commercial Unixen, like Solaris, QNX, AIX and HP-UX, would come with an appropriate warranty.

 

1. Guaranteeing that the software will do substantially what it says it will is actually standard EULA language going back to the early 90s at least. This is mostly just feel-good language. I think what it was originally for is things like damaged diskettes. In 1993 MS-DOS 6.0 had a defective disk compression feature that could result in data loss. It was fixed months later in 6.2 which was a $10 upgrade. Microsoft tried to stop the formation of a class action lawsuit over this and was still litigating the $10 fee in 1996.
2. Microsoft is the only company remaining in the OS sales business. Apple sells hardware and used to sell OS upgrades but it's always had a monopoly on that market. Red Hat and other Linux vendors sell support services. DR-DOS, OS/2, BeOS, GEOS, Netware, all that stuff is ancient history.
