how does one get started on Linux and coding and being able to use github etc?

I am not computer illiterate but compared to most on this site my knowledge level is minimal. I can share more details of what i do and do not know if it will be helpful.

I just want to be able to do some of the computer privacy and security things I see others talk about. I want to be able to customize and create my computer experience.


@bun as someone else that’s generally Not A Coder 🧑🏻‍💻 but dabbling… my route has been to explore small self-hosted projects. It’s a lot of troubleshooting.

I just realized that some Mastodon servers are based in the United States (see below)

Mastodon.social (316k MAU)
Mas.to (13k MAU)
Mastodon.online (12k MAU)
Techhub.social (5.6k MAU)
Mastodonapp.uk (3.9k MAU)
Universeodon.com (3.8k MAU)
Mastodon.cloud (2.5k MAU)

With things happening on the data privacy front in the United States, would you advise people to transfer to a non-US server?

What do you want to see more of on Fedi?


@bun Youth-liberationist voices. And also queer theory memes.

I'm going to ask a question, and I hope I won't regret it.

I'm not really a programmer by trade, but I do know several languages (or did, once). The only one I use regularly is Python, though, so I've preferred that.

But I need to create a UI with HTML and then do callback code on links from the HTML.

I've tried a few different ways to do that with Python, none satisfactory.

[1/5]


@TerryHancock (I'm posting as I'm intrigued by the problem, I don't have a solid solution) ...that said, sounds like you want (need?) to use html for your python app's UI? I see you've investigated WebKit, maybe it's possible to access _just_ the render engine component? Looks like Blink is a forked project that fits the description.
