Hey guys, I'm studying #computersci
#ComSci

So far I've ben learning about #python and soon going to do #c soon.
Would people benefit from me posting about what I've learned? I'm assuming not, after-all, there's lot of documentation online and Mastodon isn't a documentation site, obviously.
Ultimately I'd like to connect in some way with learners/the programming community out there on the fediverse!
One reason why I've been thinking about posting what I've learned is: I really, really hated programming for the first and most of the second semesters of college,I struggled to understand concepts, but suddenly one day it clicked that actually, I do love making programs and this isn't actually so hard!
Don't give up people! Programming is a rough ride for the first while, but it's well worth it and eventually you'll experience that wow/feeling of inspiration moment. Work is hard, but it does pay off in the longterm.

What about religious change in #Mauritius?

Nachita Rosun got qualitative and quantitative data about religious belief, religious practice, and #timeManagement (with a novel #calendar app?)

#dataAnalysis is in early stages (help welcome), but #preregistration etc. are #openAccess: osf.io/rfjkp/?view_only= (presumably data will be eventually)

The team's also on ResearchGate:

Continued thread

I speak out openly today about the lack of #accountability in the department of #computersci in #sheffielduni #uniofsheffield and how I was treated because I have had enough of keeping quiet about this. After all the reading on defiance of brown and black women. Watching #codedbias and reading #datafeminism I want accountability from my department. I want justice that had been denied to me, for both the harm and trauma they caused due to their failures of process, and their aversion to evidence.
