I’m sure it varies from country to country, but here in Canada, at least Ontario, which is the only province that I am familiar with when it comes to teaching requirements, you would definitely need to attend teacher’s college, which is a two year program.

Realistically, you should always try to keep a decent food storage in your home.

Not only does proper food storage mean you are prepared in the event of some disaster or item scarcity, such as toilet paper during covid, but it also keeps grocery costs down, as you can buy discounted items in bulk and work through them until you find them at a good price to stock up again.

I realize that storage space can be limited in a home, but even when I lived in a tiny apartment I did my best to dedicate enough space for a month or two of extra food supplies.

There’s no enshitification happening if the product hasn’t gotten any worse. It’s just a pricing change. In fact, if the pricing change does in fact lead to a better product then this is the complete opposite of enshitification.

While I was initially skeptical about the pricing changes, the more I learned about it the more I was okay with it. I think part of the initial problem was the talk of annual subscriptions, when in fact it’s much closer to paying for version upgrades. Their new standard licenses have come down in cost from the old perpetual licensing and the price of a version upgrade is only $36.

I totally get it. I just happen to work on the IT team that manages our companies mobile devices, so I’m not too fused about the privacy implications of putting some personal things on a work device. I know my personal data is kept separate, and I have backups of any data that is important.

Whatever work pays for

A Raspberry Pi will work as a Jellyfin server, but it will really struggle if it has to transcode any media.

If you want your Jellyfin server to be up and accessible at all times, I would suggest getting a second hand PC. I’m personally a fan of small form factor mini PCs. Anything with a 7th gen Intel processor or newer, with integrated graphics, will be able to hardware transcode anything but AV1.

On top of an adblocker, I use Pi-hole/Adguard home for DNS blocking.

For added privacy, I also use my own unbound DNS server, which can be easily setup with Pi-hole, so that I make as few external DNS requests as possible.

Blackberry did all of that years before Apple. Sure, they didn’t have a touchscreen, but all of the capability was there.

Oh, no!

Can you use PC Optimum points to buy gift cards? That’s a great idea!

I’m on board, but I’m not sure I can use a calendar that doesn’t put Sunday as the first day of the week.

From my understanding, this is from setting Google as the default search engine.

Honestly, I don’t blame them for taking it. The Mozilla corporation has done a lot of good for the modern internet.

I completely agree that children should simply be using family computers. Kids are much to young to understand proper internet safety.

You don’t usually have to ask someone if they’re being harmed by a person/substance/thing to see the negative effects it is having on their lives.

Socially media is already known to have negative impacts on adults. This means it WILL also have a negative impact on children and youth. Seeing as children and youth are even more susceptible to negative influences, due to their body and brain still developing, we need to protect them from what we can.

Even if kids are seeing worse things in their every day lives, that doesn’t make it okay to subject them to other less worse things.

While I don’t have the solution OP is looking for, Bitwarden will provide the functionality OP is wanting.

That’s gross dude

That means it’s no longer working. YouTube never removed the dislike button, just the dislike counter.

To my understanding, and a quick Google search, winnings are never taxed.

That depends on the government in question. For example, the Canadian government does not have a claim on any kind of lottery or game show winnings.
