Also I've always been one to empathize and pack bond with inanimate objects way too quickly. I feel you. It makes me have problems with getting rid of things.
I got my free 'business' email through Zoho. It's pretty easy to find by searching for it... that's how I found it in the first place. xD (I can also link if you want? I just didn't want my first post on this forum to sound like a sales pitch because it's totally not. Viva la free stuff, death to corporations, etc.)
I use Zoho for my email too. (Though I pay because I wanted to add both my domains onto my account). The free tier is pretty good though, I used to use it.
Most of my friends know I do game and web development so they should know I have at least one website. There's at least one connected to all my profiles I interact with them with. Not one really checks them though; if they do, they don't tell me. Most of friends aren't really into web development or the types of games I make.
Only one person in my family knows I have a website(s), my sibling. My family knows that I do coding but that's about it. I don't plan on sharing my websites or social media presence with any of my family but my sibling. I'm very open about my queer identity on my websites and socials that my family either doesn't know about or doesn't care for. My sibling is the only one that knows and cares since they're also queer.
First, I'd like to say it's very pretty. Flying around is pretty fun and being able to interact with NPC's is nice touch. I was surprised they all had names.
The only thing negative feedback I have is that the right mouse button navigation is a bit sensitive and not the easiest to use. I kept throwing myself off of platforms but that could just be me.
...The server I rent is my own machine that runs my web server, not someone else's computer.
I'm curious, what server farm are you renting from, how much does it cost, and what's your experience doing so? I've been looking into possible ways to self-host some of my own stuff.
I use Atom for all my coding. Who knows how long it will continue to work though since Github sunsetted Atom back in December. Really disappointing, but I'll continue to use it until I can't.
A couple of my purely hand-coded sites use Vanilla JavaScript in their client for stuff like generating navigation links and opening modals. The rest of them are built using static site generators (SvelteKit and Hugo) so scripts get used less.
I've use vanilla, NPM, and frameworks. Believe it or not, I do kinda like working with Vanilla Javascript. I used to hate it in the past though.
I do want to try out Ruby on Rails and PHP though for web development in the future. I know some people have JavaScript disabled. It's not the easiest to get away from JavaScript when it's the easiest to get hosted with my budget of zero dollars and zero cents.
We were actually spied on. They'd have those monitoring extensions installed on them so they could see our screens and even close our tabs. That's one of the reasons I started bringing my personal computer. Plus it allowed me to work on my development projects and play video games.
Imagine deciding to put everyone under monitoring instead of properly teaching them good "work" computer etiquette. All it did was make people sneakier. People learned that installing and using browsers that weren't Chrome allowed them to go unmonitored. The staff weren't even aware students could do that.
Meanwhile my school switched to GNU/Linux and LibreOffice in 2014.
No one I know uses LibreOffice but me. I did the switch and along with uninstalling all of the Microsoft Suite programs from my laptop when I first got it. My college lets us use Microsoft Suites for free, but I still refuse to do so.
Even that is strange, because we actually knew how to use office suites properly with format templates and all.
We weren't taught how to use office suites nor did we ever use them. The only time I've seen those brought up is in college.
My high school actually had us all use Chromebooks, so Google stuff was what we had to use. Because of that, I actually not hate using the Google stuff and hate Chromebooks (both can be quite slow). I brought my own laptop to school my senior year because of how tired I was of it.
Oh god!! You mean we are gonna have spent our youths explaining computers to our parents and now we are gonna have to spend our old age explaining them to our kids This is actually a serious issue!
I'm graduated from high school last year, and I was having to explain to my peers how to use Google Docs in more ways than just typing stuff and doing the most basic of formatting. The same peers who had been using Google Docs the same amount of years I had been because we had the same classes that made us use it. It stresses me out.
You would not believe how many young people don't know how to look into the settings of applications.
I wish school took the proper time to actually show kids how to use the electronics in front of them instead of just saying "use this".
