The highschool I went to 10-12th for allowed phones and the policy was up to each teacher. Some wanted them in a basket at the start of class, some said if they see it out and it’s not an emergency they’d take it, and most were just expecting you to self regulate and not use it during lectures.
That worked. If they were up at the front talking, don’t be dicking around on your phone, but then when it was pencil on paper time or reading time, you could use it to listen to music or text/etc as long as your work go lt done and your grades kept up. Hell, phones were encouraged to look things up for essays or used as replacement for an expensive graphing calculator, and kahoot was a big thing too.
I’d say 90% of 10-12th aged teens are fine self regulating within rules that treat them less like prisoners and more like young adults. There are the 10% that cant, yeah, but the rules for the 100% shouldn’t be made because 10% can’t self regulate.
The highschool I went to for 9th and every school I went to before that banned phones and mp3 players. Guess what we all had anyways? Are the teachers supposed to do extra work to ensure no teen had a cell phone? I even remember we had a whole assembly about it where the principal said something along the lines of “we know alot of parents want one on their kids for emergencies, but it’s against policy”. That’s ridiculous.
Okay but in my school, they could already just take your phone if they wanted, their class their rules, no argument needed, but in the other school I went to it was like they were expected to.dig through kids backpacks and have them empty their pockets to find their phones they didn’t even have out
I was going through Pine64’s page again after I found the latest KDE announcement. With that said, I seem to see a lot of issues with firmware on the Pine, whilst the Librem is just plain out of budget for me. Was interested in how many people here run a Linux mobile as a daily driver, and how has your experience been?...
I remember seeing a video on this game a loooong while back saying it’s “very obviously too good to be true” and the footage released was sus as fuck. I distinctly remembered that when this came out last week and I said I’ll pass.
No, I’m saying I have a windows install that I then used to download 4tb worth of files, my original goal was to mount a second drive to use as the file source, but I’ve had issues in the past trying to access files from a hard drive with a windows install on it
The majority of linux articles have me checking the comments first to see if someone talks about ridiculous click bait crap, honestly saved me a lot of time.
If all the seemingly pointless discussions about which distro is better comes from attachment to a spesific distro and if a distro is just a way to interract with linux than all the discussion about witch distro is better etc. fundementally comes from a a place of love and appreciation for Linux as an OS....
This is why I supported a Tarantino Star Trek, to forever tarnish the brand with violence and language so much that Disney would be afraid to add it to their monolithic catalog of IPs
Unity has been shitty since they merged with Ironsource. They’re an Ad company now (notice how mobile ads sometimes have the familiar Unity logo now? Yeah that’s why)
Skyrim VR is on sale, you NEEEEEEEEEEEEED to mod it to make it playable (it’s a dogshit port). I tried pirating it but the mods required to make it a good VR experience only work with a different version
My hypothesis is user account consolidation. I made several accounts across multiple instances (to deal with outages) but now only use a couple of them. So maybe people are not using their alts as much
Unironically, I refuse to see them as individuals. If they told self contained stories it would be okay to choose, but as a whole story it doesn’t make sense to pick
Why is this shit always communist vs capitalist, like we’ve only got 2 answers avaliable. You fuckers never set foot in a communist country and worship this shit
Fucking communist countries have killed how many millions of their own citizens? Don’t really think showing a picture of some buildings is enough to prove that they actually solved any issues. They may have solved those issues for some who were lucky enough to get an apartment, but don’t be a hexbear and pretend they housed everyone.
And no, I don’t want a response with a link about hurr duer capitalism bad, yeah I know, but I live in capitalism so I already know that.
You’re so dense. I’m not advocating or simping got capitalism here. That’s what I’m trying to communicate, but you’re too fucking dense to even see that when I lay it out.
Both are bad. Just because I say these turds who worship an imaginary and propagandized version of communism are dorks doesn’t mean I’m arguing in favor of capitalism. For fucks sake learn to read
