This used to happen a lot back in the early 2000s

I pronounce it GIF, but it's wrong according to the creator of gif format

Upon accepting the award at the ceremony, Wilhite displayed a five-word slide that simply read, in all caps: "It's pronounced 'jif' not 'gif'". Here, jif refers to the soft g pronunciation.[2] Following the speech, Wilhite told The New York Times: "The Oxford English Dictionary accepts both pronunciations. They are wrong.

> In college you mostly get taught computer science theory so what is the point of going back to college if you recommend against spending time reading about cs theory? I'm not trying to be provocative here I just want to know why you think that way.

Because it significantly improves your chances of getting hired, at least that's the case where I live.

> GUI apps are better

To each his own the good thing about cli apps that they're way faster to work with than gui apps and they use less resources, just try cmus and see how much faster it's compared to gui music players especially if you have a big music library.

I hate nano, I always find vim to be easier and have a cleaner TUI

> For example I work as a factory worker and despite the fact that I have been doing this job for over a year now I constantly make the same mistakes. I still screw up tasks that I have done hundreds of times.

Man, people make mistakes all the time that doesn't make you stupid at all, it makes you a human.

> I simply couldn't code this simple program. The assistant even tried to help me but I still couldn't do it in over an hour. And it's not like I have never programmed before that since I learned some Python in high school. I ended up dropping out of college during the second semester.

Ok, despite what some YouTubers want you to believe, computer science is actually hard, it's in fact extremely hard. Learning some python in high school isn't much. If you are into programming, though, you can still study without college, although I recommend getting back to college if you can.

The most important thing in programming is being persistent. just pick whatever path you want to start in and see the best language for this path and start coding, do real projects don't waste much time watching tutorials or reading computer science theories.

If you want my advice, I would say since you already know some python, maybe create a simple web server. if you don't know how than you can watch a tutorial first, then try to make it on your own, if you still can't make it than watch the tutorial again, and try again. Persistence is key, try again and again and again. Then move on to a more complex project and so on.

One final thing, No you aren't stupid, actually if you were you wouldn't know. You just need persistence and a clear path to follow. if you did the above, don't forget to share what you build, even if it's a program that prints hello world. I love seeing what other people can build.

Nothing happened it's up and running, but they used to be aggressive towards what they called low quality content. Now most of the site content is articles.

The title is just badly written, feels like it was written by a 5-year-old.

I don't know why, but the title made me chuckle.

Couldn't agree more, plus sites like Tildes that followed this path of elitism couldn't grow their user base even after 5 years. They still have the same user activity of Mainchan just after 5 months, and guess what, they actually started aggregating content from other sites.

> most articles posted here aren't even interesting

This is subjective, if you aren't into programming than you will find articles about programming boring, on the other hand if you're into bashing normies than you will be interested in articles making fun of normies.

> but text posts allow greater interactivity.

Guess what? most text posts on the site are low quality too, why? Because writing a high quality text post is time-consuming, and nobody is going to spend an hour or two writing a post for 5 or 10 people to read.

It's very popular for movies and tv shows, and the quality is decent.

Did you read what I said

Creating content is time-consuming and with such small user base it's not worth it, so sharing articles and content from other sites is a temporary solution that almost all sites used until the user base grows.

Again, nobody is preventing you from creating content, but trying to prevent other people from sharing articles isn't the best idea

I shouldn't say this, but did you know it was actually me who commented on most of your old posts? I created a couple of posts on your antinormie sub too, so no text content doesn't gain more interactivity, This was me just trying to keep the site alive.

What is this place?

Mainchan is a content aggregation, web content rating, and discussion website. Registered members submit content to the site such as links, text posts, images, videos, and polls, which are then voted up or down by other members. Submissions are organized by subject into user-created boards called "subchannels" or "subchans" for short. Users can also earn "karma" for their posts and comments, a status that reflects their standing within the community and their contributions to Mainchan.
