  • A lot of others are commenting some great stuff. I would like to add, knowing how to program is less about knowing the specific syntax of different commands, and is more about knowing how to work with functional groups and logical paths. Once you get that down, moving to another language then becomes learning the syntax and quirks of the new language.

    So, any language is a good starting point, a lot of the skills you learn from it will be applicable to lots of others.

    personally, I started with Basic, then C by way of microcontroller and robotics programming.




  • I’m a proton vpn user. The one CEOs sudden “pro trump” post definitely gave me pause, however I think it will be fine as I don’t think the CEO really understood trump being pro privacy from Trump’s point of view: “privacy for me but not for thee”. That’s being said, the core mission statement and operating tenants of ProtonVPN (and proton in general) fly in the face of the Trump admins actions and the rest of the executives will help keep that shit in line. they’re also not under any government pressure to cut out or disregard their privacy policies or operating tenants as the country they operate under primarily is actually pro privacy.

    aside from that I will be keeping a close eye on them and jumping ship as soon as they start faltering in their mission.
