Who needs phones when we have air fryers…
Also, it feels like “admin” doesn’t necessarily agree with the new policy.

71·4 days agomy screen was full of cats
I see no problem with this
1·4 days agoWhile I don’t have any statistics, other than just my impression after reading news or talking to people:
There seem to be people unaware that what they are doing is a form of mental torture. There are (at least what it seems) a lot of toxic relationships, and there are instances where neither the victim nor the perpetrator realize how their actions affect themselves or the other part.
I am far from excusing anyone who behaves in a mentally torturous way and agree that they should be punished, but torture might not be as intentional in all situations.
IMO, we should properly categorize the different kinds of torture and the different severity, and perform punishment based on those categorizations. It makes sense, at least to me, to have a stronger punishment for IDF, than for a toxic mother somewhere.
A couple of things I have read as a comment on this post that I would consider torture:
- Rape (this should be classified as torture today)
- Burying people alive
- Throwing someone in a volcano (in a world where dying is an impossibility)
Some that I am more uncertain on:
- Environmental destruction (one could argue that this is indirect torture, as the end result could lead to people being starved, or harmed in other torturous ways)
Can confirm, you are not the only one
Unfortunately this is true for advertisements/sponsorships everywhere. Not sure if there is a true one size fit all solution for fixing these products other than individual channels actually vetting/checking who pays them money.
There are some good channels that unfortunately just take whatever sponsor deal they get. I ended up using sponsorblock for the most part, and then support those channels I care about on patreon/ko-fi
edit: just changed some phrasing to not make my rambling as rambly
They are Canadian based, which is a very important distinction.
It advertises on multiple platforms, so it must be evil?
I don’t understand this mentality, just because a youtuber is sponsored by a product, the product must be bad/malicious/acting in bad faith.
There are many channels on youtube that aren’t morally corrupt or soulless. If a company sponsors a channel on yt, it just means more people become aware of the product. which is the whole point of the sponsorships.
1·8 months agoSpotify is getting worse as well, at least on desktop.
“we are moving the album to a right sidebar, it now only occupies more of your screen”
“we liked the right sidebar so much that we are moving the queue over there as well, we’re also removing useful info like album and artist”
I shouldn’t have to use spicetify just to get basic features back
I do actually know a fair share of people using Linux in my social circle, but a lot of them uses both windows and Linux. My family uses Linux for their private devices, as that was a requirement to get my technical support. And an increasing number of my friends are moving over to Linux.
What I find weird is the sudden increase of 10% (from 18.16% to 29.04%). Like, did everyone get back from vacation after a Linux conversion camp or something?
So in theory, one third of everyone I meet should be a linux user. Yet everyone uses windows. 🤔 Am I the 30%?? /sw
2·1 year agoI like your “the glass is half full” attitude, however their signup seems to be broken.
So I tested Remmina some more, and yea, my expectations for the exec plugin were broken. It only runs commands locally, I really thought it was for sending saved commands remotely.
I guess ARD is king, at least from the solutions I know of. Personally, I achieve the “see all screens (or well ssh connections)” and the “send command across all connections” with tmux. And if I need RDP, SPICE or VNC, I use Remmina.
Windows users can use Royal TS, but that is paid and proprietary.
This is more of a hammer as a screwdriver problem, where everyone decided to use chat software as a forum.
maybe, allthough I need to test ARD to see how they do it.
Remmina allows you to run a command on connect, or set up individual commands to execute
Looks like Endless Sky is under GPL license, so definitely FOSS
Veloren is great, there is also Mindustry and Shattered Pixel Dungeon to name a couple of high quality ones.
I probably should have worded myself better.
I agree that “Admin” agrees with the intent behind the policy. What I meant is that they don’t seem to agree 100% with the wording of the policy, especially the parts that seem to be problematic for using devices for educational purposes.
"Admin"s wording for this was weird (at least from the view of this non-American), “No animals allowed”, like happens when wild animals walk around? Where I live, nothing much would happen, they’ld exist, they would get commented on depending on what animal it is, and the day would continue. It almost sounds like someone would get punished if a random animal walks within school perimeter.
