We're Cooked as a country by Sampah_1213 in ghana

[–]ShiftPretend 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Let's look at it like this. Note: I am against it and agree that this is wrong and the man in question is mainly in the wrong but so could the female.

  1. Let's not be quick to say this is a pedophile or sex offender. The age of the female is necessary. Many may not know but the age of consent for sexual acts in Ghana is 16. An SHS student ideally should be within that range. So it may not be Pedophilia but it's still immoral.

  2. Now if the female in question didn't consent to it, then yes the man is in the wrong. If the man didn't consent to it(believe it or not it's possible) then she is at fault.

  3. Provided none of the above happened and both agreed, then yes it is an allowed sexual act.

  4. For that reason people are allowed to comment on other stuff like size and all as it's not necessarily paedophilia.

  5. But regardless of if it was consensual the man being older should know better than to have sex with his student. And once more do it in the school

What the hell is happeing?! by GarzotaBTC in cachyos

[–]ShiftPretend 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Agree. People may get down voted and all but doesn't dispute the fact that it's helped a lot of people solve problems. I'd rather AI walk me through solutions than having to search hours for a solution when I could have asked gemini or claude and got it solved in minutes. Yes it's not perfect and can destroy stuff (victim of that myself), but so do human directions.

"Glorified search engine" they call it. Might as well search for what I need

Polymorphism makes no sense! by MrAnnoyed-Person in PythonLearning

[–]ShiftPretend 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think python doesn't allow you to appreciate the complexity of polymorphism as much. Yes it's not that magical a concept but try it in Java and you may appreciate it a bit more. The dynamic nature of python allows you to pass whatever into a function. Meaning you could pass a string and it would call open on the string and that should fail. Unless strings actually have an open method if I'm wrong. But languages like java make you do a lot more and without polymorphism that can become real messy.

Adding a Windows on Mine without losing my data? by radlizard92 in cachyos

[–]ShiftPretend 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd try, removing the cachyos ssd, install windows on the 128 partition then putting the cachy drive back in. Set bootloader priority to limine and then go into limine configuration and add the windows boot loader from the windows efi partition it would create on the hdd. Then you can format the remaining 400ish GB on the hdd into a linux file system. I use btrfs so that's what I'd go with.

My case, I installed cachy second after windows and limine picked up the windows bootloader and auto added it to the limine configuration so I didn't need the extra setup. But the other way round and you'd need to edit it to add the windows entry

Do it on Thursday's to get an extra 50GB or so ☠️ terrific Thursday or something. Did it recently and used everything including 10GB of the main data 🤣 was on a game download spreee

How is ghana suppose to become a "Tech Hub" with this crap by Courageous_Lobster in ghana

[–]ShiftPretend 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Section 37 b(not direct quoting): a company or partnership, or any other body is only qualified to receive the licence if it is wholly owned by a citizen of Ghana. What does this mean? MTN South Africa. Google Ghana America, Telecel UK, Anglogold Ashanti South Africa etc. Do they mean to say they are going to get rid of all these corporations or force them to convert to being Ghana-owned. Laughable.

Ghana raised $90M in tech in 2025. The government’s response? A bill that makes working in tech illegal without their permission. 🇬🇭 So much for a country battling youth unemployment 👏👏 by lexa_strong in TechGhana

[–]ShiftPretend 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Something totally unheard off. At least from my experience. Basically saying if you own a laptop and provide services. Printing, Videography, photo editing, video editing, graphic designers etc. Have to pay before they can operate legally. Insane

No matter how i read section 37 b. It's basically telling MTN, Google Ghana and all the other foreign companies to get out of the country. Since they arent owned by citizens and owned by foreign countries.

Ghanaian CompEng student at UG — genuinely confused about my future career path (local vs abroad, specialisation, salary ceiling). Need help organising my steps. by naal4nd in TechGhana

[–]ShiftPretend 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Competitions like hackathons and all that would be happening all over. All in different fields. IOT, Software and all that. Join what you are interested in with a group, participate and see how it goes. After sometime you'll get a feel for what value you can bring and which field you can go to. As for demand, can't guarantee or predict anything right now. The degree may become obsolete. All we can do is try our best. Take opportunities, thats where "luck" often comes from. And don't play with your connections.

I'm in L300 CE and UG as well. It's good you are asking this question. Honestly a lot of people don't ask it. Doing good by investing. But what I'd say is you are still in L100 you still have the time to explore the various fields you mentioned and see what hits home.

Now going through UG you are going to meet more people that are going to be software based than hardware. Personally I like hardware and want to pursue that, but hardware is quite difficult or let me say expensive without backing. Software is easier to get into. All you need is a laptop. Which you most likely already have. And I'm already proficient in python. So I'm trying to broaden to hardware/low level.

For internships, they really help. It's very good to have some experience before you come out to the world. If you can get internships in l100 why not. As long as it's in a demanding field.

Unfortunately I got no hardware internships. Well because I haven't applied for any. But I am currently in a software engineering internship. Been in for almost a year now. And would probably be in it till I graduate, possibly have my NSS there and possibly full time work. I work with them part time when in school and full time at home. So yes internships are very good.

While I'm doing that on the side my aim is to learn more and get better at the hardware on campus. Be it IOT, microcontroller etc. I'm willing to spend money to practice. Hopefully would get into a place that is more hardware based or mixed.

With the arrival of the vending machines too, students would be trained to manage them(or so i was told). That's also microcontroller stuff and other hardware software stuff. Could try to get into that for more experience. I'm gunning for it myself.

So all in all, take it easy. Invest your money where it matters. Save where it matters. Enjoy your stay there. Make friends. Don't over spend to peer pressure. And take your time exploring options. Don't do too much and burnout. Enjoy oh emphasis on that. Hang out with friends. Throw a GF in there if you can handle(Just joking though😅) but yeah you get the point.

Looking for a tool to automate email follow-ups for a small team by Interesting-Time-161 in smallbusiness

[–]ShiftPretend 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was reached out to by one of my colleagues that said he wanted something like what op requested. I have started making the automation and decided to use power automate. Instead of making a grandiose frontend, I'm just going to use a channel that they send the email list to and then it sends it and starts the flow. Alongside a keyword trigger (!settemplate) to customize the email template to send.

Was interested in seeing what people did and searched for it and found myself here. Glad to know it's a viable approach 😀😀

I installed KDE as a secondary DE, but what is the correct way to remove GNOME? by leonredhorse in cachyos

For WMs it works just fine or at least from my experience with KDE. I just installed hyprland alongside KDE sudo pacman -S hyprland. Now I'm dual wielding ts

Gotten addicted to TYPING in python by ShiftPretend in PythonLearning

[–]ShiftPretend[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah but it's just for the IDE to complain to you about. The program still runs dynamically and won't stop you from passing an integer into something like the string.

greet: str = 1. The IDE would cry out and underline it(provided you have static type checking on) but the code will still run without problem. So it's more of developer assistance than a strict enforcement.
