Then that's a disorder that they need to be taught how to deal with. They won't stop doing this when they get out of school, no? Isn't school the best place to teach them how to deal with it? You know... Cuz it's school... Where teaching is supposed to happen...

But what about those damn phones? Kids surely aren't using their phones cuz the classes r boring as shit due to a boring and underfunded education system. Now that we have taken their phones away, they surely won't find some other distraction like bullying the teacher, fooling around with their peers and so on... They surely are going to be model students who always pay attention to the teacher and everything that is taught. /s

The kids aren't okay with that. I'm sure that instead of staying quiet and messing with their phones, they're now actively causing a disturbance in the class.

I know this because I went to both types of schools- where phones were banned and where they weren't. Guess what- if ur class is shit, kids are going to find some distraction to kill the time. If phones are there, those would be the distraction. If phones aren't there, then hooliganism, disturbing the class, taking the piss out of the teacher, etc. would be the distractions.

The problem isn't the phones. The problem is boring classes, which are a result of a broken and underfunded education system.

I had mind numbingly boring classes when I was in school. Why were they boring in the first place? Cuz the curriculum was stupid/the teachers weren't that good. The solutions to both problems are by increasing the education budget.

I also had teachers who were so amazing that noone was distracted. My point is, kids don't use phones in classes for absolutely no reason. Kids do that cuz the classes are shite. Fix the classes and the kids won't use their phones.

I get the vaping ban, but banning smartphones is one of the stupidest bullshit I've ever heard. There's an underfunded public education system, but no- the problem is clearly those damn smartphones. Fucking conservatives man...

Sad hon hon hon baguette baguette noises...

But but my poor tastebuds... What would they do without that delicious cow meat and the cow titty juice... /s

A federated alternative for that already exists - peertube. Adapting it to a short form video format wouldn't be that difficult. However, running it (any video streaming platform) is expensive. How do u plan to fund it?

Old dumb phones could not play arbitrary audio... Well, aside from phone calls of course. Ringtones were a series of... Tones! Kinda like a midi file, ever heard of that?

Oh, was this because of limited processing power / slow secondary storage read speeds?

Extra fun fact, the original iPhone only had THE iphone ringtone, and you could not change it

NO WAY.... Oof that must've been so annoying, no? Ur phone being a waking advertisement to everyone around you?

Are we talking about the button phones? Did they have different audio formats cuz their speakers were crappy or something (hence, no use playing high resolution audio)? Did the custom ringtones then sound bad as well?

Oof. May I ask which audio format it was? Or was it different for different phones?

I don't get it. Don't we do that now as well? Putting .mp3 files up as our ringtones?

What? Sure, no software is completely hacker proof. But u can have more and less secure devices.

That being said, the rest of ur comment just looks like a word salad to me.

Woah... U clearly don't know ur musical instruments... That's a guitar obviously!

The world's smallest violin

Really needs an audience

So if I do not find somebody sooooon...

Cue screeching tankie noises

They do have security/privacy concerns if you have google installed. However, with vanilla AOSP and vetted applications whose source code can be screened, you have a much much secure device than IPhones.

No, uhm well... China is obviously very nicely "civilizing" the savage Muslims! /s

I'm so curious what the tankies have to say about this.
