i saw someone say nobody needs to know what a .txt file is anymore. what the fuck is the world coming to

[dreamsy990]

unironically i think we need to bring back computer labs because APPARENTLY some people WERENT taught basic computer literacy and internet safety in school

[dreamsy990]

things about computers/the internet i think kids should be formally taught in schools because theyre important to know and the amount of soon to be grown adults i know who know NOTHING about any of these is quite frankly almost all of them (and resources to learn if you dont know these things, because its never to late to get better with computers)

how to troubleshoot by yourself when you have a technical problem

what common file types are

some very basics on how to use ""developer tools"" on your computer (because i cant think of a better way to refer to them) like task manager and command prompt (and their mac equivalents, terminal and activity monitor ofc)

how to read and understand a privacy policy and what your personal data is, as well as what it being collected actually means and steps you can take to keep it private

how to understand terms of service (hey. if you have trouble with reading legalese and worry about being able to understand these policies anyways, here's a site that gives basic summaries of privacy policies and ToS)

what a cookie actually is

internet privacy and your digital footprint!! seriously i dont know why we stopped teaching people that they shouldnt be putting their entire real identity online in a world where your online actions can ruin you irl

basic safety measures like antivirus software (and why you should use it or if the built in one on windows or mac is enough for you) and backing up your computer (also a mac guide)

common keyboard shortcuts (and on mac)

as an additional note: things i think everyone should know on computers and the internet but schools may bit hesitant to teach about for whatever moral/legal standards schools pretend to operate on

vpns and adblockers! (btw for most of these where you can pay for things im purposefully not recommending any specific software but seriously just use ublock origin for an adblocker)

how to not get a virus while pirating something

what a temporary email is and when to use one

red flags that you shouldn't trust a website (and how to quickly check the security of a site)

what javascript on a website does and how to disable it to get around paywalls

[dreamsy990]

ok one last addition! if you want to take it one level higher, i think learning the very basics of at least one programming language is good for people. it makes computers less scary and it makes you feel very cool, and a lot of people get discouraged about it because it seems overly complicated and hard to learn outside a formal classroom setting, so heres some resources for learning the very basics of python (because i consider it the easiest language to learn and knowing one language will make it easier to learn others)

an online compiler so you dont need to download anything or worry about running code directly on your computer if that makes you nervous

a basic video guide to introduce you to python and walk you through beginner steps

a guide to some syntax and commands you should know (this was literally my lifeline in my first CS class)

some performance tasks to give you things to code to practice and assess yourself

danganronpa 1 spoilers to whoever cares

if Hifumi recovered his memories right before he died because of the hit to his head.. then do you think Sakura briefly remembered them as well after getting hit twice in the head? Do you think she thought about that as she died?

do you think any of them have dreams about their past school life that they can't quite recall when they wake up?

this game makes me sad unironically

Writing Tips

Punctuating Dialogue

✧

➸ “This is a sentence.”

➸ “This is a sentence with a dialogue tag at the end,” she said.

➸ “This,” he said, “is a sentence split by a dialogue tag.”

➸ “This is a sentence,” she said. “This is a new sentence. New sentences are capitalized.”

➸ “This is a sentence followed by an action.” He stood. “They are separate sentences because he did not speak by standing.”

➸ She said, “Use a comma to introduce dialogue. The quote is capitalized when the dialogue tag is at the beginning.”

➸ “Use a comma when a dialogue tag follows a quote,” he said.

“Unless there is a question mark?” she asked.

“Or an exclamation point!” he answered. “The dialogue tag still remains uncapitalized because it’s not truly the end of the sentence.”

➸ “Periods and commas should be inside closing quotations.”

➸ “Hey!” she shouted, “Sometimes exclamation points are inside quotations.”

However, if it’s not dialogue exclamation points can also be “outside”!

➸ “Does this apply to question marks too?” he asked.

If it’s not dialogue, can question marks be “outside”? (Yes, they can.)

➸ “This applies to dashes too. Inside quotations dashes typically express—“

“Interruption” — but there are situations dashes may be outside.

➸ “You’ll notice that exclamation marks, question marks, and dashes do not have a comma after them. Ellipses don’t have a comma after them either…” she said.

➸ “My teacher said, ‘Use single quotation marks when quoting within dialogue.’”

➸ “Use paragraph breaks to indicate a new speaker,” he said.

“The readers will know it’s someone else speaking.”

➸ “If it’s the same speaker but different paragraph, keep the closing quotation off.

“This shows it’s the same character continuing to speak.”

Your au of murder drones Will continue? Tessa and thad Will be Friends?

in my head the au isn't dead. What is dead, however, is my laptop in which i used to draw the comics. sadly. i'll see if maybe ill continue with it in writing instead but school hasnt given me a break to think about it tbh. hopefully yea it will continue and yes they will :D

this animation gave my tablet a few scratches I had to order a $30 screen protector :sob:

if i posted on pinterest i would simply give credits

[boxheadpaint]

when im playing a game alone and theres danger i am quiet and stoic, by necessity. when im playing with friends and theres danger i start screaming and sqwuaking like a chimp to communicate over long distance that there is danger and i am distressed. This is because humans are social animals who evolved to live in groups and signal to eachother when herobrine is there

Wizards have as much faith in magic as software designers have in software - none at all. A wizard is explaining to the rest of the party why they won't use magic to solve all their problems.

[ukiiyostar]

"Hey, I've been meaning to ask you, why do you always carry that ukelele? I've never seen you play." "Oh, no, no, I've never been particularly skilled with string instruments." "Then why do you have it?" "Funny story, uhh, if I try to get rid of it, my magic starts failing. All spells turn chaotic or completely stop working and I- I have no idea why this happens. The ukelele is just part of me now."

[ukiiyostar]

Hello, can I use your comic to make my own voiceover and post it on a channel with your authorship?

omg yea that sounds fun!! dont forget to send me the yt vid when you finish it pls

[ukiiyostar]

guys hear me out

murder drones au where tessa runs away from home everything happens but now she *reeally* is the only human left hijinks ensue

(cyn still pretends to be tessa, but without wearing her skin; she either makes an illusion or just stays in the astronaut suit all the time)

[ukiiyostar]

you know what would be really funny too?

bonus dialogue:

Thad: "So you're, like, a human? Like for real?" Tessa, unsure: "...Yyeeeesssssss..?" Thad: "..." Thad, visor now displaying sunglasses: "Cool."

[superbdragoncollection-stuff]

Thad becomes straight best friend to visiting lesbian.

[ukiiyostar]

Tessa managing to pass herself off as a Drone is and nobody realizing it is very funny to me.

She doesn’t even wear a disguise.

She actually lives in hiding mostly, only coming out when she needs something with little to no interaction with the other drones. She hadn't been caught until now, where she got distracted long enough for someone to finally notice her presence.

And that someone is Thad, who particularly happens to know nothing about humans. If Uzi or Doll (maybe even Thad who knows) had seen her they would've immediately known what she was. Anyone else would do a double take before coming to the 'human' conclusion cuz humans are supposed to be very dead.

But don't worry, it won't take much longer for others to notice her...
