I worked in a school in Asia that actually banned students from bringing their phones to school. One year there was an earthquake in the morning that caused all the trains to stop for half a day while they checked the rails. We were all on our way to the school, got stranded, and some had to walk for hours to get back home. The school got a few calls from parents and the policy was changed the very next week. Now students can bring their phones, but they need to be turned in at the front office when they arrive.

One girl forgot to do it once, so she put her phone her locker. Another earthquake set off the warning alarm system and her phone went off in the hallway. Later that day I saw her getting lectured hard by the staff and the poor thing was in tears. She was actually a good student, so it was weird seeing her in that scenario.

Anyway, I wouldn’t mind the idea of students handing in phones at the front desk, but I was allowed to pack a cd player, a Nokia, and a variety of other devices around my school as a kid. I don’t really see smartphones as being much different, so I don’t mind them being around just so long as students are using them in their own time.

My only issue I had with HS teachers were the ones who bitched about people having headphones/earbuds in during class. Obviously I don't have them in during instruction or group work as that would be disrespectful, but if you're not at the front of the room talking and we're doing individual work, I want to have my earbuds in. I had a study block teacher who was so fucking anal about phones and earbuds, when it is literally a fucking break class to do whatever the fuck you want/need to do.

I actually agree with this. If I have kids doing individual work in my class, I could care less if they’re using their phones or have headphones in as long as 1) they’re working, and 2) they’re willing to put it aside when I need their attention again. I’m actually much more productive with music on, so who am I to judge?

Well it’s better than them throwing things at each other like we used to do, I suppose.

The answer is in the reply.

You’d like servers to have their tips taxed?

NGL, it’s really f*cking depressing when you give students 30m to create something of their own imagination, and they do it in the first minute with chatGPT and spend the other 29m playing games the phone and asking to “go to the bathroom” whenever they notice someone in the hallway.

The excuses you hear when you do something so oppressive as to request they keep their phones in their own backpacks for the duration of the task.

bad teachers 30+ years ago

I might have an idea why you freeze up with structured writing to this day, and I think it might have less to do with disabilities than you imply.

I’m literally teaching a course to teachers on how to use AI in the classroom so that the students don’t use it as their magical answer dispenser.

Absolutely. Now that people are paying attention, it’ll be easier to spot.

I’m waiting for this in a AAA open world fantasy VRpg. I’ll be waiting a while, but I want it.

Didn’t they get caught doing this with destiny as well? It makes me wonder if it’s a studio culture thing. You’re 200% right in what they should be doing, but I still am inclined to think this is more likely an incompetence thing than malice.

NGL, it seems really practical that it was intended to be placeholder concept art that someone forgot to go in and replace.

That said, this artist they took so much inspiration from definitely deserves a place in the game’s credits at this point. Whether they actually use his art in game or not.

I’m surprised there’s no “slammed” community on the fediverse that just focuses on instances of “slamming” mentioned in the media.

That Q+ looking one near the bottom left is how Apple Pay came to be in Japan.

I recommend spending 30m and deep diving into the settings. Just go through each category one by one, read what’s there, and consider how it might change your experience.

Honest question. What germicide is going on in South Africa?

I hadn’t thought about that, but you are so correct it hurts.

I don’t think a deck 2 is the goal. I think it’s Steam OS. Third parties will be building better hardware and just throwing Steam OS on it. Your Deck 2 will be made by whoever built the hardware configuration you prefer.

Deckard is probably a means to ensure Steam OS is VR capable as well, which would also liberate PCVR from windows and meta as well.

It doesn’t hurt that a brand new console, the switch 2, will ensure new AAA releases will still be playable on older mobile hardware. It guarantees that the current deck will still be able to chug along with new releases for another 6 or so years.

I remember reading news whenever I could about dinosaur planet. It was a game about dinosaurs built by rare on the same engine used by Ocarina of Time and would likely feature expansion pack support. That was like a dream team setup to me back then.

The conversion to starfox killed it for me because I never got into those.
