Really depends on your age and interests

I started learning programming concepts as a teen by using RPG Maker. It introduced me to concepts such as variables, conditions, loops in a "low code" environment.

Thing is, I had a reachable goal which made it easier for me to learn and feel good as I had a tangible result. Things such as "I want to add a point everytime I touch X item" where very good for this.

IMO, I wouldn't worry too much about the language at first and focus on small reachable goals you want to achieve. But to each his own way of learning.

Like games? You should probably check out GDevelop.

Want to automate some of your online tasks? Maybe n8n.io.

Also, it's better if the tool you use starts with a high level of abstraction (it's very esay to use) and allows you to add in some scripts.

If you want to go further, pick a language and go through the basics. And if you're feeling even more adventurous, head to roadmap.sh to find a learning path towards your goal.

Edit: Also, ChatGPT is really good to teach you IF you always ask it to explain whatever you don't fully understand in the code it writes

And he's not alone.

I'm on tech Twitter and trying to switch to Mastodon. Unfortunately, the latest news and top content are still on Twitter and I don't want to be missing out on either of those.

Sorry but you are using the wrong cloud storage provider.

I've switched to pCloud on black Friday. It was a one time payment for 2TB lifetime (10TB is also available) cloud storage. I checked and it was ~250€ at the time.

Considering the amount of HDD I've burned through in the early years I've already saved a couple thousand dollars and I haven't lost any file since.

Just make sure to watch their price as they currently have a sale and I don't believe for 1 second that the initial price was in fact 1140€ for 2TB as advertised.

You just brought back fond memories of mine

I loved sliding that keyboard

Maps, warframes, weapons and skins will also likely be loaded as needed, so you'll probably start with 20GB but bloat to 60 as you play

Another trick I noticed playing CoD mobile is that they don't load every other player's skin, only the latest. So if your install doesn't have it, it only display's the default skin for other players. Which also mean that the skin you paid 60$ for in the last Season Pass is only visible by a few players.

3 more...

Nope, it's not even the season pass. I was giving such examples regarding the whales who want to look cool, but in reality others often only see the default skin if it's from past season.

The 60$ skin is their pay to play roulette to get a 1% to get said skin with increasing price to get next "prize"
