I think you would need to deliberately choose a mathematical problem to solve, otherwise the most difficult thing you’ll come across will be binary representations of numbers and why floats are FUCKING BULLSHIT (seriously though they can be tricky if you think they are just “numbers in a calculator”).

If you want to really understand programming language theory, or computer science more generally, you will definitely need mathematics. But if the goal is “I want to tell this chip what to do,” you don’t need to learn a lot of math, in my opinion.

Edit: also, if you need help with any math, feel free to DM me. I am a former math teacher and sometimes teach algorithms (basically screaming “what is your induction variable”) at the undergraduate level.

someone who thinks “the buck stops here => nothing is true; all is permitted” probably won’t get much out of “here are all the places ive found shit where neurons should be” so idk

This kind of bullshit would classify you as Harry Potter if you drew a lightning bolt on your face.

I run GrapheneOS on my Pixel and I am pretty happy with it. Also, check out OpenBubbles (fork of an app called BlueBubbles) if you have a Mac that you can extract the hardware ID from. I use it to get my iPhone friends to stop complaining (it’s an American thing I think) and it’s good enough the vast majority of the time.

Reactions still come through as

shitheel reacted 🖕 to ‘hi everyone’

though

I’ve tried screaming “stop overfilling my hboxes” when compiling my TeX document, but it isn’t working! Am I prompting it wrong?
