  • What is it that you’re trying to achieve by deleting your account?

    If you want to stop anyone else, or AI scraping, from using your stories, then I would think that you’d want to erase them.

    If you just want to be private or anonymous, then as long as there is no identifying information, you should be ok just abandoning them.

    Would it be ok if your stories got archived somewhere and someone got to read them, say in ten years, but there’s no information as to author or location? Or would it be better for your privacy/anonymity if they weren’t available ever again to anyone?

    I guess the answer depends on what you want the outcome to be.


  • Somewhere between Debian and SuSE on this chart, because the distros at that end are the ones that I’ve used the most. However, one can never say, “I know everything now”; and I have no doubt that other people have knowledge and skills that I lack. In this industry, you can never stop learning; knowledge is never wasted (unless like me, you look fondly back at uucp and troff).







    1. There are many courses that are free – the only payment is at the end if you want a certificate.
    2. Lua is as good as any other language to start with. Python, Ruby are also popular starting languages. If you’re going to continue to program, then you’ll probably change languages several times in your career. What’s important is to learn the generic concepts of programming, such as input/output, looping, functions; once you are familiar with concepts, changing languages isn’t a big deal. Start anywhere and build from there.
