It is possible to study Software Engineering/Computer Science. But whether you want to do it or not totally depends on what do you want to do with that knowledge. If you are looking for a "high paying" job, you must need a degree as most of the jobs require the degree irrespective of the degree. However, if you are looking for actually learning about computers and software, you can self teach yourself in a MUCH better way than taught in the universities as most of the students there are just to get grades and most of the teachers are just to do their job (needless to say both are shitty at it). If you need guidance where to start, start browsing reddit and IRC channels. Using these two resources, you can teach yourself to be the greatest software engineer of the world. But do not go there and start asking "where do i start". A million people have already asked this question. Just browse the sites and you will be amazed by the amount of guidance available.

codeacademy and w3schools, this is what i can suggest. you wont get degree but skills. which are enough
With codeacademy and w3schools he wont even get basic skills of software engineering or Computer Science.
It is possible to study Software Enginneering and Computer Science all by yourself but it will require incredible discipline. Recommended sources to study will coursera, edx or open course ware websites. But it would be very difficult to do that.

Self study of IT and programming is more than possible. To be successful though you need to select several trustworthy sources where you can start you learning, most of them like freecodecamp.org are free and include tutorials, articles, discussions: everything you need to understand Java topics or those you're interested in. Moreover, you can often rely on https://assignmentcore.com/java-tutor/ to find expert Java tutors to work with you personally. The former and the latter example are a great combination. Think about it.

    It's based on an actual real life person so I don't think the woke police have a valid case here.
    Nope. They have a very valid case. The above video explains it all.

    Meanwhile Ghost of Tsushima PC version is out now. Looks 100 times better than ASS Creed already.

    Did y'all see the new Assassin's Creed trailer? They finally made a AC set in Japan & then they put a negro as the male protagonist. Ubisoft is taking cues from Disney, and it isn't gonna end well for them, just like Disney. Go woke, go broke!

    Phil should be held responsible for this shitfest too, just like Sarah, but it's highly likely that these decisions are coming from Satya. And this isn't even the end of it. More closures are coming.

    if we are moving towards more and more popular trash across platforms that make billions for companies, I'm happy with all the barriers and exclusivity because at least that brings some pressure to create good stuff.

    "These changes are not a reflection of the creativity and skill of the talented individuals at these teams or the risks they took to try new things" ... seems to me that's exactly what it is

    They could've sold the studios instead of closing them, but the nazi bastards just didn't want competition down the road.
