I think there are lots of Linux communities if I recall correctly, !linux@programming.dev for one. Although this one is different because of the anti-AI rule

The state of the internet and how people talk to each other there is so bad that I thought you were talking about changing the words you use to snark at people (since people use “NPC” as an insult, although I have seen a different meme saying how it’s genuinely nice to be an NPC just worrying about what sandwich you’ll have for lunch instead of having main character worries). Took me a bit to realize you are genuinely just talking about changing your words when honestly speaking of a video game.

I’d be happy to read those posts :)

My home was programming.dev. Moved onto PieFed because it lets me add keyword filters so I can mostly browse without the LLM discourse. You better believe I have LLM, Claude, vibe-code filtered out. Even AI, although it does mean I’ll have filtered out cool stuff from 2019 about how video game NPCs make decisions and other types of cool artificial decision-making that are not what is getting all the discourse.

This is so cute.

I like to think I’d find this hilarious if done to me. I found it funny enough to save and send to my friends. On the other hand, I’m reading it as a joke now online, not actually going through it, and I can see how if it had been done to me I might be upset. Not sure if I would have been or not!

Wish someone had given me this advice when I was younger!

And it’s nice to see them adapt to a changing world in a direction that I actually like

!learn_programming@programming.dev might help you too.

Honestly, I started with a specific goal that I somehow lucked out into it being a relatively simple script with iMacros of all things, and that was my introduction to the whole if/then control flow loop basics. (Yes, it recorded my stuff, but I had to go in and alter it and mess around a lot.) And I messed around with Scratch at the same time too. I really think this helped my actual Baby’s First Program go down more easily in my first computer science class in college. (First language due to college was Racket, second was Java, third was C, I think this is fine.)

Making very simple video game mods might help too, with modding communities that have loads of documentation and “where do I start?” resources.
