Lol I love the second part of your title. “Can you fix my car? If not, just tutor me personally in car maintenance and engineering and then I’ll fix it”
Ok had nothing to do with a car but I thought this was a safe place to share knowledge and help others?
Like programming, learning how to diagnose and repair cars takes hundreds of hours. It’s a ridiculous thing to ask for just to change a minor feature. Like hilariously funny because of how naive the request is.
“Can someone paint the moon red for me? If not, can you teach me how to build rockets and landers, and how to paint, so I can do it myself?”
That’s what you sounded like, taken to the extreme.
What does “safe place” have to do with teaching people how to program? No one here is going to teach you how to program no matter how “safe” this place is. If you want to learn how to program, join Khan Academy or something.
This is a link aggregating meme dumpster. Inside a car.
(Lemmy)
(whereas I hate infinite scrolling pages)
Where the hell did you come from? The best part about lemmy and Reddit was finding knowledge and being educated. I am just asking to expand it so some communities can get more seen. But I think that you are against doom scrolling but you have to admit to your self that you click on the links for the next page or article so you must not like it to much otherwise you would not come out and hate it.
In default there are 20 posts shown ( maximum )
It is not feasable to increase it higher, because it never seen to be needed or wanted ( from the instance admins ) as more posts to load => more infrastructure costs.
Thank you for the response but out of curiousity how much would it cost to get lemmy.world its own servers and be also a hosting site. Kind of like imgur was born out of reddit and that turned into a huge platform. How can someone do the same for us?
We are hosting Lemmy on our own servers, it costs us ( including all other services like mastodon.world etc… ) 1.5k€ ( it is outdated but it should be in that range, ca. Dec. 2023 ) https://blog.mastodon.world/
But like said it would increase the costs a lot.
You guys or gals are in Europe? oh btw I just want to thank all the admins who respond to mine and others posts showing that you are hands on…no sarcasm.
Ok read that. But as a non admin or even a programmer can I learn and this may not be the right word to code so I can help out lemmy more? Or do I need to go to inbox after inbox asking for donations? again no sarcasm.
Without programming knowledge you can not do that. We are not the creators of lemmy.
Here is all the code that is connected to lemmy: https://github.com/LemmyNet
ok now besides looking at all the lemmies what code can I learn to better support you guys and gals?
You could learn Rust or Typescript ( React ). And then you can contribute to the respective github repositories like the API ( https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy ) and contribute there.
It will take some months to learn correctly and then the Lemmy devs need to approve your changed code.
Cool…don;t know if I have months because it depends on the next Hospital I am at. …But are there any links you can do for Typescript and React so I can study in my spare time.?
teach me how to code and I’ll do it.
Sure. Give me $100,000.00 and prepare to meet with me for two hours per day, for four years. You will need to dedicate an extra 4+ hours per day on your own, 5 days per week.
Well besides the 100k I am willing.
No 100k, no deal! But the cool thing is that there are a lot of resources online where you can learn for free.
Yea but which ones do I learn to help out this instance the most.? And I am going in blind. Thank you for the link btw…no sarcasm
I linked something that I used back when I was learning to code, but it looks totally different now, so I removed it. Honestly, ChatGPT is pretty good at coding. If you know where the code is, then you can paste it into ChatGPT and ask it in plain English what to change. Otherwise, you’d start at the beginning, just like any long journey.
I appreciate the answer but do not want to be affiliated with AI. Or even use it. I thought maybe there be a youtube video or a site that can guide me. …I thank you for the help tho…no sarcasm
This is probably a good place to start https://www.w3schools.com/
I bookmarked it. Do I need to start with HTML and work up or is there something specific that I can start on to make lemmy.world the best?
