Why is he starting with c/c++? Yes they have uses but not as a starter just playing around.
sometimes it's not interesting enough to keep someone's attention if it's just "playing around": some people need to feel like what they're working on while learning has a real purpose, and some purposes have to use C++ (e.g. Arduino)
sure it might not be the most effective or efficient way to learn, but it can be more motivating.
as far as I can see: I think the joke is meant to be that red shirt says peasants aren't nice, and then is immediately (3 comics later...) proven wrong.
it's not the height of comedy, but it could be slightly improved by being 1 comic instead of 3...
It's been a long time since I last used it so I don't remember specifics, but I found really basic stuff that would take a couple of seconds to do in photoshop were a lot more difficult in gimp. Krita is better...
Windows 11 and ramped up it's enshitification... They improved the tiles idea a lot over windows 8
Windows phone 7 was great too...
I use Linux now though too, I've found flatpak isn't a silver bullet though: depending on what distro you're using and what distro whoever made the flatpak was using sometimes strange issues happen such as not loading in dark mode or losing settings on close/shutdown...
Side note: I thought that meme was from idiocracy, but apparently it's actually from a 4chan greentext and I had made a false memory of it being in the movie 😅
The copyright concerns can be mitigated somewhat by prompting to follow existing patterns in the codebase(and double checking that it has done that when reviewing the generated code)
It can be good at generating boilerplate code or copying an existing solution, so maybe it might be useful for less critical parts such as adding a GUI for some feature that was previously limited to the command line...
Ah true, when I think of a 95 ford I think of this
