'Thanks" to AI, I anticipate we will see a rebirth of the early 2000 period when many websites were just clickbait. It will get harder and harder to determine what is real from what is BS. Ironic the very mechanisms that were supposed to give us clarity will do just the opposite. Of course, someone like Elon might eventually code an AI that helps us recognize the BS sites, you know, like GOOGLE!

Test: How to tell if you are a MAGA Conservative or Progressive Liberal.

If you understood the last sentence to mean Google helps us determine real from BS, you are a Progressive Liberal.

If you understood the last sentence to mean Google is BS, you are a MAGA Conservative.

Easy test to see if it's a valid QB64 site....   Does it mention STEVE IS AMAZING anywhere??

NOPE!

Then it's a fake site.  Avoid it!!

We'd have nice professional looking graphics, too, if we had put up my QB64 "Spring" banner! I don't care if Steve's grandkid won first prize for fingering painting the one we have now, mine was just way better!!!!!!!!

I can't find any information about which QB64 version should be used for the training courses.  Huh  I can't find any information in the source code (view-source:https://qb64.org/about-us/) either... but maybe I'm not seeing it.

The page was probably made with a program like Dreamweaver.

My memory is hazy on all this... do I have this right? 
  • qb64.org = the 2020-23 site that rccola smuck took over and locked down the github
  • qb64.net = the earlier site, domain bought by hakcers, now possibly nefarious
