Okay but they are absolutely defending themselves in the meantime by focusing on ICE. Imagine there is a gang of state sponsored murderers beating down your door, what are you going to do to the oligarchs in that situation? The people who need to make the distinction you’re making here are too busy being convinced that a phone is actually a gun by a man on TV.

Can you fill me in on what that means? Searching for mud doesn’t give me useful results.

First of all no, school fails miserably at actually teaching anyone to learn effectively, so that’s not why they do that. Second, they could just as effectively teach kids how to learn by teaching them things that are actually useful. I would’ve loved to have classes for note taking and studying, critical thinking, maintenance and repair… instead I’ve had to teach myself all of those things, meanwhile my school was too busy making me read about Victorian era dress styles to teach me any of that. Even math beyond algebra 1 is fairly niche and is probably better taught specifically to the people who need it. I’m in comp sci, I use that math all the time, but my friend getting his master’s in plant breeding probably doesn’t need to be intimately familiar with calculus.

It feels better to tell ourselves that all of the years wasted by school are actually for something but the reality is that school just does kind of a bad job at equipping people with the skills they need, and it needs to be improved dramatically.

You seem to be in the minority there, maybe an external clip-on webcam is a better solution? I doubt a back-facing webcam would be used very much because most people use laptops like a take-home work station, and they use phones to show things to people (I’m sure there’s a good reason you’re not doing that, it’s just what most people do)

Wtf kind of parents do that?

Yeah, that kind of thing never goes away. Still probably better than Google and the like, but don’t be surprised when they start walking in line with the fascists.

Sick gaming setup

Actual question, how do I not answer any questions? I feel like if I’m literally mute for the entire encounter then I’m getting charged for not cooperating.

And here I was thinking the EU was winning its fight against authoritarianism. Guess nowhere is safe, everyone’s gotta push back no matter where you are. Fucking exhausting that they can’t just leave us the fuck alone.

I like that song :)

I fear Microsoft will simply not reassess their decisions and we’ll be stuck with Apple, who has historically been much worse about user freedom.

In general anything made for businesses. They might be fine with us having stuff that doesn’t work, but businesses still need things that work to produce things that don’t.

I was under the impression that the vfas were caused by the belt teeth. I’ve also had those issues still after their last firmware update in July. Is there something that I’m missing?

Other way around for me. I only ever went on there to see artists and hobbyists and cool people do cool things. Many cool people have gone elsewhere which is nice.

Action precedes motivation. It sucks but it’s true.
