I was thinking it was subconscious but now I am wondering how many of them are just trying to get upvotes / likes / whatever lemmy calls them. Still my 2 posts make an interesting example of it but I want to figure out what causes this. I also think it is possible that people with differing opinions may just want to leave something alone to be non confrontational leading to a mini echo chamber.
Their policy (at least the last time I checked) was all vague rules with whatever punishment they see fit. That is why I just wanna get something identical that is mine. I won’t get on the network but I can use a mobile hotspot and be fine. What rights are you referring to specifically?
I have my own computer. I use it for exclusively personal things and use my school issued computer exclusively schoolwork. They legally require me to give up my privacy and I disagree with this based on principle alone. Enjoy your porn though.
They are very dumb. I am not just being mean I met the head of IT personally and he is an idiot, but students from some of the computer classes were responsible for some of the configuration, meaning some competent people looked at it.
Edit: The bios was password protected last year so it isn’t stock at least.
I like this take. I got into a programming class after telling the teacher about a program I had previously gotten an in school suspension for writing. It recursively started itself and used a ton of resources. It was just goofy and the it dept. called it a virus.
I want my schoolwork to be private. I don’t want a proprietary network enabled keylogger on my computer even though I only use it for schoolwork. I am legally required to go to my school, I am legally required to use their computer, I am legally required to give up my privacy. I don’t understand why people think privacy isn’t a reasonable expectation at school. I am okay with the school having my information but they use proprietary keyloggers and network monitoring tools that can do whatever the fuck they want with it.
I did the “look up weird shit” option last year and ended up having a nice chat with 10 different psychologists about it. I’m not doing that again but I like where your head’s at.
Actually I can install things on it and only installed a better browser and office suite. I would simply prefer not to be spied on at school, and I don’t think that that is unreasonable.
I believe I experimented with that before. Like I said I don’t want to risk much with this device. Their network is actually solid (it was set up by kids in the networking class not just it) and they would detect it. It did just occur to me that I could remove the Wi-Fi card then remove the files with Linux so that it couldn’t phone home, but I don’t know if it would log the files missing. Do you think that would work?
If you install wasp os on the pinetime and the sleep tracker linked in one of my other comments on this thread on wasp os, then that should work, but it is a bit of work. Hopefully it will be packaged with the next wasp os.
I want to show my teachers my work, but I don’t want Microsoft or Lightspeed to have it.
