Thanks, I hate it

Had to spin up a virtual windows machine the other day and was just honestly appalled at how bad the desktop experience is these days

According to Wiki, the modern javelin event has an “unlimited runup”. I, for one, would like to test that wording of the rules

I agree, and it appears that I am not the only one

for one reason or another

Greed, mostly lol

Don’t let the gatekeepers put you off. The Linux community is quite helpful if you can get past their garbage. Every guru was once a noob 👍

Why wait? Install it now. I would recommend Mint as a beginner distro.

Kinda feels like humanity is in the process of jumping the shark on this one

It’s not my job to educate you on how the education industry works. Go and read what qualified people have already written about it in academic journals.

No assessment method is perfectly suited to every student.

Coursework can be similarly adapted.

All this moral panic is garbage.

Easily solved by using essays with an unseen question written in exam conditions as assessment instruments.

Literally a pencil and paper solves this problem.

Does anyone else find the term “creatives” to be so damn condescending? It’d be like calling executives, “Admins” or “powerpointers”

The key thing is that teachers can ban phones in their individual classrooms if the school permits it.

There are many schools in which the senior admin don’t institute phone bans (you’d be surprised how common this is).

Legislating it helps maintain consistency and parity between schools nation wide, which is important as it’s a quality of education issue, so the policy should be consistent across all schools.

I’m not from North America, but the situation is similar across most western democracies.

You could always pass it on to someone who can’t afford a new one, a school student for example

Stay strong, brother. One day when your child has grown up they’ll understand and be grateful that you fought so hard.

I was going to host pihole on an old android until I noticed it getting quite warm while continuously connected to power. Realised I didn’t know the lifespan of the battery and didn’t want it tp start a fire.
