I'm wondering when to expect my breach notification letter from the federal government offering a free year of Lifelock.

No, but the replacement archivist will almost certainly be an expert at replacement.

If they could just do this to block the spam email

sed -i 's/Gulf of Mexico/Gulf of America/g'

sed -i 's/Biden/Trump/g'

Buckle up.

CONDOMS TO HAMAS?!

I thought it was a fraction of that figure, for condoms to Gaza in Africa, still not Gaza in Middle East.

Sounds like something drafted by President Musk

Agree. Lots of time there's abuse, probably healthy to have a normal relationship while divorce is being finalized. My now wife stayed married to her ex for a while out of compassion so that he didn't lose healthcare coverage and have to start COBRA.

I don't think any of this is actually a problem--meaning I don't agree that it is true, not that it wouldn't be a problem if it were true--except Microsoft's criminal UI changes and perpetual rebranding of the same old garbage.

In this context I am drawing the line with wifi and personally issued Internet connected devices, particularly where the student isn't really getting instruction from a live person.

No, I said I completely agree with this, this being that the state should not be providing wifi hotspots to school children. I was surprised that I actually agreed with Cruz on this because I pretty much never agree with him and consider him, in the words of John Boehner, Lucifer in the flesh. And I'm sorry if some of you thought I meant that I completely agreed with him on what he startes as his justification (morality police, censorship, etc.) which isn't the case.

But instead all you trigger-ready comment warriors are ready to burn me at the stake for what's really a pretty sensible position.

Wifi hotspots aren't going to eliminate inequality. Students eith reliable Internet may have an unfair advantage, but teachers and administrators could minimize that by giving assignments that don't really require Internet access to complete.

Should all assignments be hand written, of course not. But do they need to be completed in a web browser? Nope. Good old word processor and spreadsheets work great.

Holy moly, everybody is on edge. Understandable...

Me too, they didn't require constant connectivity. I went to the library or computer lab. Lots of kids in my class didn't have a home computer. And even though my family did, it didn't give me an advantage on those assignments. We all had to manage doing them at school on a school computer. Thank God they didn't have Facebook.

Are you even serious right now? God damn it. Who made these rules?

I am actually reading a paper book right now to learn about configuring advanced features of ZFS. Hard to believe but it's much easier to understand than the fragments of information on Stack Exchange. The man pages are nice to reference but they don't really teach the concepts or give good examples. And Perplexity gave me bad information. Even for very technical things, which you might think would be the first to be displaced, there's still a place for paper books. Yeah I could figure it out eventually but reading this book has probably been faster, more thorough, and more approachable.

You completely missed my point, perhaps it is you who has the whoosh?

His rationale is ridiculous, but my comment is meant to question why wifi is even necessary to do homework, not about the dangers of censorship. Of course the censorship is outrageous.

It's not wrong to question whether any actual learning is taking place on "devices" regardless of whether they're ubiquitous. It's easy to pick up how to use a device after you know how to read and do math, much harder to learn the former when you're an expert at navigating menus on a device. Maybe this is why 4th grade math skills haven't returned to pre-pandemic levels...

Also don't woosh me. Are you going to skibidy next?

I'm all for libraries. Cruz rationale is retarded, all I'm saying is that the government shouldn't be providing wifi hotspots to kids.

Foolish comment. Wax tablets didn't have social media, three million notifications, tracking and spying features, countless distractions, updates, power, and connectivity requirements.

Already did, that's why I care.

Not only do I completely agree with this, I am blown away that schools aren't actually using paper textbooks anymore. I only recently woke up to this lazy new way of teaching. I don't want my children even using devices at all for any purpose, let alone being required to use them for schoolwork. What the fuck kind of society are we creating?
