oh look yet another warmed over “DAE the kids r bad” talking point that i’ve been hearing literally since i learned language.

yes because having assigned reading material directly and specifically relevant to the subject of the class is exactly the same as registering for a website full of shitposts and propaganda bots. remember when you got all that spam from opening your textbook, and there was an entire chapter calling you out for being a little bitch?
that’s the stupidest comparison i’ve ever heard.
“hey there’s this thing called lemmy, check it out some time” <- leading a horse to water
“ok you have to register an account on lemmy, it’s part of your grade” <- shoving a hose down the horse’s throat and cranking the spigot
requiring my students to create Lemmy accounts
No. Nobody likes registering accounts for random services because an authority figure told them they had to, I feel like if it were me I would do the bare minimum of interacting that I was required to and never look at the service again out of resentment.
I’ve been saying for eight years he’d be more dangerous as a martyr than his stupid alive self.
right now mine has manjaro+cinnamon. i booted my wife’s Win11 laptop to it so she could test drive it and within ten minutes she was asking how to get to the installer. i hope to repeat this process with others as well.
“Gifted” education in the US means they burn us out with weird “critical thinking” extracirriculars and then berate us when the senioritis hits two years early.
I transferred schools in the middle of 10th grade, and the new Algebra class I landed in was several chapters ahead. I never caught up, but the teacher passed anyone who turned in literally anything for homework so I did that.
Now in my 30’s I’m getting into indie game design, and I need that gap filled so I can write the code I need. So I went to the local thrift shop and picked up a couple old textbooks (since it’s safe to assume that nothing groundbreaking has happened in the field of basic algebra in the past twenty years) for fifty cents and I’ve been working my way through them. I don’t understand everything that’s happening, but I’m pushing ahead with the faith that somewhere along the line things will “click”.
oh look another troll dragging geopolitical culture war bullshit into everything
not at all, thank you!
fuck it, where do i start? if spending a little bit of my time writing a css sheet results in Google losing market share i’m 1000% down.
look im as stoked as anyone else but that information should really be in a section explaining it in detail further down the page, for Tyson, for Simpson, and even for Trump. Say who he is and what he did that’s notable, not what the government did about it. it should say “fraudster” if anything, because that’s who he is. i don’t think labeling people vaguely as “felons” helps anything, and mostly serves to dehumanize people who have caught charges whether it was justified or not. that’s just my two cents.
or, as i like to call it, gnu plus linux
basically everything beyond launching itunes/safari/whatever is tucked away in weird non-obvious places. i literally had to have someone show me how to get the list of all apps (it’s called something absolutely baffling that i’ve since forgotten) after clicking on and combing through things for like half an hour. the longest it’s taken me to suss out the same, to get a list of applications, on literally any other OS has been seconds, maybe a minute at longest.
so yeah, my example is the single most basic thing a user should be able to do in order to use the computer, is so unintuitive on mac that a grown ass adult who is a chronic distro-hopper needed help figuring it out. and god forbid you want to change a setting beyond the wifi, screen brightness, and audio volume.
i’m only picking at you because you’re being an ass
and yet it drives you mad to no end that someone doesn’t like your favorite DE and “idk bro it works fine for me skill issue git gud son” doesn’t change their mind. please continue entertaining me for free thusly.
actually, why would you expect someone to change their opinion based on how a bunch of nerds talk down to them for speaking their experience?
i think it’s funny how bent out of shape everyone’s getting over a meme and you sound salty af to me but go off
ok boomer
this has to be a joke, i just tinkered with it for a couple weeks to check in and most of the extensions i tried either just broke things or didn’t work at all.
It’s all too common when anti-phrenology people don’t understand phreno101.
