  • If those people are marginalised why not make organisations that help them get into programming?

    When you think about stereotypical programmers, you usually picture a white guy somewhere between 30 and 50 years of age (at least in Europe and I presume the USA). Coding used to be a profession that was predominantly made up of women but when it became clear that it would become an important job more and more men became interested in IT so that now there are about eight male programmers out of ten.

    Black people have similar issues (and god forbid you are a black woman) in that they often are paid worse for the same jobs than white people and have worse chances to get good secondary education and academic jobs even if they have the same intelligence as white people. Helping people to get into computer sciences that statistically have way lower chances to do so without any fault of their own is a good thing in my opinion.



  • Who the fuck would pay 3.000€ for an iPad? I had to buy one because Apple somehow managed to get an exclusivity contract with the schools of my city but that ‘only’ costed 400€ with the additional option to get financial support if your family can’t pay this much money. If possible I would have used a laptop or at least something other than an iPad but now I have to use it and hate it with my entire being although their glorified Bluetooth was quite nice before they gimped it.






  • Depends on the games you want and your internet connection as well as pc specs. 1337x .to is pretty safe but it only has torrents for which you need a vpn if you live in a country that gives a shit about copyright. Fitgirl, Dodi and Kaoskrew are some of the most well known and trusted repackers that also offer ddl. fitgirl-repacks .site, dodi-repacks .site and kaoskrew.org are their respective sites. I would generally recommend torrents since they are available for a longer time and are easier to find for me. If you want to use torrents I would recommend qbittorrent since it is fast and doesnt shove ads in your face. If you want direct downloads I recommend checking out a download manager like jdownloader.

    I have no clue how much this will help with mac pirating I dont get why you would even want to game on one if you have a pc available, but it will work on windows at least.
