I also notice that haha. Possibly due to their school program (maybe they talk more about software than in other places?), but I have no real clue.
Would love to know the reason too :P
I come from Germany and it's a mystery to me too. What I can tell you is that school is 100% not it. IT is heavily neglected in schools because there are barely any teachers who can use computers properly. School IT is also very Microsoft centric here. The closest thing to programming I had in school was writing VBA Macros in MS Excel, which didn't go beyond basic for loops. This was also in the last year of school and only for students who picked the technical/mathematical branch.
I heard from friends at other schools that they had better IT education, but still not great.
Haha I see. That's exactly how it happens here in Portugal too, except we have more language choices (VBA, Pascal and C# that I recall).
I wonder why this phenomenon happens π
Iβm guessing itβs to train to use commercial software for a potential job environment. That said, i havenβt touched a Microsoft officer product since the early aughts. Officer is an auto correct error, but i like it so it can stay.
The "phenomenon" I was referring to was the amount of German FOSS devs π
Here in Mexico, CS careers only teach you Java, if you are lucky probably C in a few cases, mainly hardware focused fields such as electronics.
In universities?
yep. And mostly dependent on privative infrastructure. Services like institutional mail, hosting, office, communication, etc. are provided by Micro$ucks.
Damn that's really unfortunate. In uni's CS department we run a lot of free stuff ourselves, such as email, ownCloud and even package repo mirrors for a bunch of stuff (CPAN, LDP, the kernel, and a handful of distros).
Our CS department are like (we have few exception):
can't view/play whatever you sent there :c
Are you using a client? π€
Nope, just reregular web lemmy-ui.
Yeah, not sure what's up with that - but take the broken bit and open in a new window (at least desktop firefox here) and it shows the mp4 appropriately.
Which is funny, because it looks like a low-quality gif.
On mobile (on pwa) downloading the file yields me a currupt video lol. Will try on desktop in a bit.
