It’s pretty messed up that schools enforce those things onto kids. Chromebooks, while cheap, invade the hell out of your privacy and are extremely restrictive. We should be teaching kids GNU/Linux, not ChromeOS… I honestly feel sorry for the future of free software. Students aren’t taught ethics, freedom, or privacy at ALL. I was in school, (graduated two years ago), and it seemed that every teacher adapted the “you don’t have privacy” motto. Absolutely terrible. Buy the kids a Dell Latitude E6400 and put Libreboot/Trisquel with KDE on it. Let them live and help each other out with issues. It would be super heart warming to see schools adapt something like this instead.

(I understand the convenience issues, but we should start adapting, its crazy that Gen Z barely know anything about computers)

The person was saying they couldn’t access a certain site with Firefox, that’s why I suggested a chromium based browser.

Yes, but Edge comes with a lot more proprietary components added.

I would recommend installing ungoogled-chromium or using another hardened FOSS version of chromium instead.

Why not use chromium or a hardened version of it? Edge is proprietary software.

Don’t you need tons of RAM to run LLMs? I thought the newer models needed up to 64GB RAM? Also, what about Stable Diffusion?

They have the Google Pixel 8 which has a 120Hz refresh rate, if you can afford it.

GrapheneOS for the Google Pixel. I’m using a Google Pixel 4 which was like $120 and super easy to flash. I’m from the US, so I understand if things might be different where you are.

LIBREBOOT! LIBREBOOT! LIBREBOOT!

Well, they’re not wrong. It is ‘open-source’, not Free Software.

Trump operated within the lines of democratic institutions. Y’all really throw the word ‘dictator’ around like candy. I really don’t think you know what a dictator is.

Biden can’t even put together a single sentence and this is the guy you want running as president? Bro can’t debate past 9PM.

Sure, just watch the debate and see whose cognitive function is still intact. Clearly, it’s not Biden. That was the most embarrassing debate I’ve ever seen.

The founding fathers said a two party system would be the downfall of this country, so no, its not intentional.

Authoritarian party win? Do you even know who I was going to vote for? I guess any third party means authoritarian to you? No, and its not just Biden voters, its people who vote for Trump as well. We all need to pick a different canadite now. I’d personally vote for Chase Oliver.

You may think that’s how the system works, but at it’s root, you can pick other choices, not just one or the other. The more you say that, the more real it becomes, and the more hopeless you make everyone else feel. You have a very nuanced view of how everything works and what type of person I am.

Jesus dude at that point just vote for someone else 💀

I’m just looking to have my users not use JS to shop at my store. I’m not too familiar with web dev terminology.

Oh shoot, yeah I don’t have the money for that lol I’m just a small computer store. Is it okay just to use it for my blog then? Thank you and everyone else for the advice!

Does that mean I can register the name for my business name?

It is, this is my first website so I dont really know about trademark infringement too much.
