I think it's obvious that students have a higher potential of learning with a teacher that actually has time to have a conversation with them now and then.

Personally, the fact that stand and deliver lectures is the norm for college classes has never ceased to amaze me. Why even have a professor rather than just read a book at that point? University has become a twisted simulacrum of it's original form and it saddens me to watch it decay even more with time.

Exactly. Studying with people who understood less but could remember the magic words to ace tests was an exercise in frustration

Or maybe a freshman class with hundreds of students should be split into more classes with more emphasis on actually learning

College courses have long been structured to incentivize rote memorization and regurgitation over actual critical thinking and understanding. When i was in college the "honors" students literally had filling cabinets with a decade of old tests for every class in their dormatory. I'll admit llms have probably made it even worse, but the slide of colleges into worthless degree mills has been inexorably progressing for like 40 years at this point.

I'm not totally sure if this is accurate but it sounds like you're wanting to learn front end dev basics?

If so, MDN might be a reasonable place to start. https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Learn_web_development

I think acknowledging that there may be things we don't know and if you're trying not to be tracked not carrying a phone is probably smart makes sense. The people making these sweeping assertions about how phones work in general with no evidence not so much.

The point is that librewolf is downstream of Firefox. They are not equipped to maintain an entire browser if Firefox goes the way of the dodo

Would you mind sharing why you think that?

Couldn't you just, like, turn it off?

Business leadership is a club with a specific culture. To be in the club you have you drink the cool aid, so unfortunately most of them have the same mentality
