Set it up to a mic measuring decibels lol.

Also not so fun is you couldn’t skip the DVD ones. I played a DVD and couldn’t skip the previews (remember those?).

If it’s good enough for Star Trek it’s good enough for me.

Fucking brilliant.

What’s this about?

To anyone with back pain: do squats (bodyweight).

You only need IT support, which you would be paying for one way or another with MS.

the government has given the go-ahead for the first step towards complete digital sovereignty in the state, with further steps to follow.

The term digital sovereignty is very important here. If a public administration uses proprietary, closed software that can’t be studied or modified, it is very difficult to know what happens to users’ data:

We have no influence on the operating processes of such [proprietary] solutions and the handling of data, including a possible outflow of data to third countries. As a state, we have a great responsibility towards our citizens and companies to ensure that their data is kept safe with us and we must ensure that we are always in control of the IT solutions we use and that we can act independently as a state.

Digital sovereignty seems to be the primary impetus, so this might go far. Saving money is secondary.

Two god damned millennia.

I wish I followed this advice earlier. The way I’ve heard it was: “When someone tells you who they are, believe them.”

It’s been a long time coming!

Good catch, wonder why they’re so far away.

They’d never eat my face.

I think she knows she’s a protest vote.

What are the rules if Trump suddenly dies? I can’t imagine they just crown her the nomination.

But did a lemming predict it?

We have essentially the same game in Canada. But I don’t care about it either. https://youtu.be/Rsqcokevi2A

Yes you can find a way to goof off in any class instead of doing your work. Isn’t that the whole point of this discussion? To remove ways to goof off, you know, smartphones. Ban them in class. And just like you can catch people playing video games in computer class, you can catch people using their phone in class. Just because some people will break rules doesn’t mean we throw our hands up and say ok then no rules.

You’re really comparing this to teaching abstinence? Wow. And then you rage against something as basic as rules, blaming rules for what seems like everything you think is bad. Ok then. Cheers.

I already did unpack it: “Smart phones are a distraction for social media 99% of the time.”

Nor did I say the word “just”. You’re both ignoring what I did say and inserting your own words. They can be distractions with you know social media. But also back in my day they taught us Word, Excel, programming. You had a class with that. You didn’t need it in your pocket 24/7.

Those were tools. Smart phones are a distraction for social media 99% of the time.
