『she hacked you』 is like a pokèmon, evolving into a larger + more complex
community project SHY originally was only free educational computer science
courses streamed live weekly; needing music for the stream, it became a music
project, needing a community to tie everything together so there would be
students and not an empty stream; I begun social media presence like on
mastodon.social. Then overtime that has begun to change what the project is and
means; and it has become more of a community. Will it work? Who knows, probably
not, but we can only know if we try ## About Us A community primarily made of
various scientists, makers, hackers, communists, socialists, ecologists,
mycologists, journalists, artists, arsonists, writers, environmentalists, witch
apologists, engineers, activists, narco-terrorists, night-timers, day-dreamers
and party-crashers Different backgrounds, and beliefs; but what binds us
together is the concern/care for other humans, and other creatures around us.
Refusing to be bystanders in our universe Objective facts are important to us
b/c of our feelings All languages/cultures/nationalities/identities are welcome:
please join us and share your unique perspective, thoughts, posts, and
interesting links ### Rules Essentially none; you are free to be stupid, free to
post just about anything Our goal is to mimic freedom of expression found on the
early internet; but that is also freedom to endlessly ridicule, embarrass,
insult and shame if you create stupid or hateful posts But preferably, cultivate
Interpersonal communication skills, be comfortable when incorrect, and learn
from other people Racist, fascist, and classical nazi to neo-nazi-- will wish
you got banned; instead of consequences like suddenly bricked devices ###

growing; while never featuring advertisements, pay-walls. Enable continuous
improvement full-time And, of course, you can shower me with your cryptocurrency
You were able to make obscene amounts in cryptocurrency? Then why haven’t you
sent me some already? I’m offended I will take whatever esoteric fork-coin or
token you want to gift me; don’t regale me with tales of its extraordinary
magical properties, just send it. bc1qwwrxcyphm5wq5cwft9vd40vxd0n5d2kzcluw3j ###
Want to moderate? Reach out; even if this doesn’t provide a platform for
long-form posting like originally intended if a community nucleates around it,
growth will be encouraged and interesting things will be found here.
Okay, I’ll bite. I hate labels, but I’m somewhere on the deep-left end of the usually-understood spectrum of political faiths. Further, due to a disability, I am unable to work in the usual ways. I’d love to work from home, but I have no real experience doing that. You say you can help learn computer science and programming? That’s what I need. Where do I start?
Hating labels is fine, there is no rule about being any political affiliation but leftists places are where many members are coming from because they agree with the core principle of caring about people other than just the people they know.
But yes education to me is the most important part of this project.
To answer that question, I need to ask a few questions; sorry if that is annoying.
What is your end goal? Like working for a company? Making websites? Are you a scientist or interested in data analysis? Game development? Having an idea of what trajectory you are interested in helps. If you have no idea still, that’s completely fine and I can still help you. Eventually we will want to chat over some platform like XMPP or whatever you are comfortable using; so I can walk you through building your first program. If I have time we can even do a screen share thing but I have a standard first program I always have people do to get started; feeling that rush from completing something is important.
Also important to note I have taught people who were very talented but decided they just didn’t like programming and that is okay too. When you do start your first programs you will need to decide if its something you enjoy or not.
