I like VSCodium, a vscode build without ms telemetry and such

oh that’s sad. I mostly switched out of proton bc I didn’t want to put all my eggs in one basket. Also, not having IMAP sucksss because both the official proton and tuta apps are SLOW

also, check out some of the firefox forks. I personally really like Floorp since it lets me put the tab bar at the bottom and customise the UI! Librewolf is also decent but some of its privacy anti-fingerprinting stuff makes it a bit annoying to use

onlyoffice is also a pretty good option for ms office compatibility

i think he wants a rec for a linux distro

gmail -> proton or tuta if you don’t care about IMAP, or any other decent email provider (I use disroot, I set my brother up with mailfence, they both seem quite good. I use them with thunderbird) pycharm -> not an IDE, but I like VSCodium (vscode without MS)

ok, I see. It seems that MIT let you do whatever with the code, whereas GPL seems like the same thing, but with an * that any derivatives must be open-source as well. I’ll put the license on my repos then.

oh okay, what’s the best license? what’s the difference between CC, MIT, etc.

I’ll look at setting up python virtual environments later, they seem pretty important to at least learn how to use

what if there’s loads of different elements where the colour could he changed such as texts, links, and different ohjects like the nav bar?

what do those do?

oh yep that makes sense

would that work with the jekyll theme?

oop okay maybe my next project should use a virtual python enviornment then

p.s. your point that facebook is “easy to get started with” isn’t very good, since that would apply to most popular social media. think Instagram, Whatsapp, Twitter, Snapchat, etc. they all make it really easy to make an account because they want you suck you in. that’s the whole point of social media!

does this issue not apply to other programming languages? dependency hell exists outside of python too yk…

allso, I’m not using too many modules for this, most of it is “vanilla” python, if you will. I’ve only got a module that makes it easier to create coloured text and another one to generate ascii art. maybe the latter uses a few extra modules, but this project is relatively small and simple and it’s just a funny little game. I actually used to not use the ascii art generator module before and just used to text to ASCII art generators, but it was getting really annoying having to backslash all the backslashes

thanks!

python is fun, the syntax is very easy and it makes it simple to just go make a cool project

is venv important/neccesary?

besides weird central/eastern europe chaos, there’s also no islands that are highlighted at all in north america, not even the big ones like cuba or haiti/dominican republic. I will probably add those at some point, but that’ll be later.

ok I fixed it, it should just be “art” (a library to make ascii art) and “colorama” (easier coloured text)
