  • I never said there's something wrong with paper books.

    I'm even reading one right now. Lord of Rings paper version.

    But for computer science students textbooks, it's heavy, inconvenient and spacey.

    The internet or even PDFs are better.

    Why?

    It's easier to do research, CTRL+F and copy/paste some programming code.

  • Exactly lol. If I were you, I'd try to sell it.

    If it's still relevant, you could also give it to younger students.

  • I agree. I think YouTube is a necessary evil for now, even if It's a huge monopoly.

    Over time, I assume resources should become cheaper and easier to manage/use. Making it easier for competitors or decentralization.

  • That might work in other domains other than computer sciences.

    But from my experience, nobody cared about books and papers in computer science. Everyone is more comfortable with technology.

    You can easily Google or find things on the internet.

  • The younger teachers were doing something similar to this. Teachers have to follow certain sets of rules to not get fired.

    It was mostly the oldest, gray-haired teachers that were requiring textbooks. Stuck in their old ways.

  • I bought some textbooks for university.

    Ended up not using most of them.

    Most computers science students are used to computers, internet and StackOverflow.

    Not paper.

  • It is. Video storage and streaming are very expensive. I don't think YouTube is even making a profit.

  • You can use the Google Play store anonymously with the Aurora Store.

    Other than that, you can probably find free and open sources alternatives instead of using Proton.

  • Firefox seems dead.

    I need a chromium based browser for the amount of extensions available.

    I use Brave.

  • Btw, YouTube is owned by Google.

    PeerTube might be a better idea. It's part of the Fediverse.

    Just saying.
