Trying my best in the Makerspace for kids I help run. They actually love it!
I get discarded ThinkPads from local companies, and the only way to make them useful is to slap some Linux on there, and then basic stuff like Blender, PrusaSlicer and Godot. It's been a huge success, especially when we do a Capture-the-Flag tournament, where they have to hide and seek memes using SSH. The feeling of being "a real hacker" seems to be very motivational for the youngsters.
My municipality also bought all students Chromebooks. Then they proceeded to block Google Drive on all government and school WiFi, because for some reason they thought OneDrive was the only safe and therefore allowed cloud storage. Fucking hilarious.
Exceptionalism and nationalism has more to do with the propaganda people are being fed, and less with the actual reality they are living. It will take more than a hard downturn in quality-of-life I think.
The language wasn't the point. The point is that if this data is being retrieved by these young clowns, we can't trust any of it. There is no good excuse for Elon to have given them this much responsibility.
Danish guy here, traveling to LA this july. Can we please make this trade happen before, so I can avoid having to give the US government my personal info for a visa?
Occams razor tells me this is most likely caused by shitty SQL by his teenage goon squad
There is already enough hate on the Internet
We will be squished in between Putin and his lapdog. Fuck this timeline.
Another cartoonishly evil action from a tech company. Colour me surprised.
Heard so much crap about this show, then finally gave it a chance and was pleasantly surprised. The pacing is definitely not for the TikTok-brains of the world, but the overall story is great.
There are 3 r's in strawberry, you dumb motherfucker
I run a Makerspace and teach technology to kids. I don't think they are getting worse, but the difference between the lowest and highest skilled is bigger than ever before.
Those who are interested, learn so fucking fast and so thoroughly, because they have things like YouTube tutorials and Discord chat groups with like-minded nerds to teach themselves. BUT at the same time, it's easier to just remain a consumer, and never gain any deeper knowledge.
I think curiosity and attention are quickly becoming the most important skills by far.
