I mean… Look at the news any day of the week.

Americans on the whole are incapable of understanding history at even the most surface level.

Media outlet’s URL checks out.

I personally like its adamant REFUSAL to be bullied into showing the actual state of devices. DMESG knows, because notifications show the correct state, but Blueman is over here IE6ing.

I didn’t post them for HIM, I posted them for ME. It gives ME pleasure to see him getting the shit beat out of him and the Venn diagram overlap of “lemmy users” and “people who are likely to see two embarrassing photos of a shitstain influencer and proceed to do something that results in him getting money or exposure” is probably significantly small enough where I’m willing to risk it.

So does this:

Even if you don’t shop online, the stores are getting digital price tags. And if you want the discounts on sale items, you’ll need to use the app. The app will tell the store which store you shop in on what days, the store will make some guesses about your income, combine it with the other shoppers likely to be in the store that day, and find an average price to update all the products to.

Oh, don’t get me wrong… I completely agree. Being able to learn responsibly is ALSO a skill that undeveloped children are bad at at first. I was just pointing out that, in an absolute sense, homework has a real and important purpose, and it’s NOT work culture indoctrination.

It depends on the subject and what you’re studying. Many subjects are like learning the piano - if the only time you practice is when you’re having your lesson with your teacher, you will never develop real competence or improve beyond a surface level. That said, everyone needs different levels of reinforcement, and the one that’s picked by a teacher is often arbitrary both in focus and in timing, so if an individual student has a more optimal way of doing their own reinforcement, they should be encouraged in that.

No, and it’s by design.

You’re gonna lease a tablet and use cloud-based storage services and like it.

The dystopia is here.

The problem with that is Intel is subject to the same bullshit economic assessments as AMD and Nvidia… They’ll just as soon retool for ai as well.

That would be nice. But video cards are a VERY niche piece of engineering. The knowledge of HOW to make them is locked in a handful of people, and the ability to make them locked behind a very niche set of equipment that will ALSO be exploding in cost.

One does not simply start a graphics card company.

My Bachelor’s degree let me emigrate, so no complaints there.

But having knowledge of exactly how screwed the world is right now is pretty cursed.

Have an upvote.

Now dadjokes is over there.

Death IS the new retirement.

Or at least, it should be, given how much I’m looking forward to it.

If it’s any consolation, those places are still going to get MORE difficult to access when open PCs that run an OS you control cost $5,000.

“Old tools” does not mean obsolete or bad. It means tested, hardened, and reliable. And crucially, probably runs in a couple megabytes of memory, which you might need if the cost of RAM suddenly quintuples for no reason.

It’s my best friend, Scam Likely!

I intentionally ignore the vast majority of everything on my phone until I can get to a real computer. Phones and tablets feel like unmitigated torture and I loathe it every time I have to use one to do something

It’s not about Trix for those kids… It’s about mocking the rabbit about the privilege they have and which is forbidden to the rabbit.

The cruelty is the point.
