Idk seems like the whole “write the damn paper and rework it until you’re good” part is missing (It’s just yet another loop of tantrum and sulk)

Great! Now do Steam!

Most people are not paying such close attention to what’s happening in the US. They already have busy lives without international drama and excessive time spent on the internet

I just gotta ask, how did you come up with that question at this time? We’re almost as far away from Christmas as one can be 😅

No a horse Tapir :) Saigas have “slimmer” faces and bigger noses

She asked for something that makes me laugh. Send her this:
Worked flawlessly

Okay so from which reliable country are we getting has until (in some far future) we have transformed the Union to not need fossil fuels at all?

Funnily that doesn’t work. It’s still changing

Sure buddy. Du hast Recht und ich hab meine Ruh

Well it’s a rather pointed example to get my point across but you may happily replace it with any addiction. Maybe alcohol? Maybe weed? How about sugar?

I like how you are accusing sb on their own smartphone usage and then counter with your personal smartphone experience. You do realise both of them have the same weight behind them, right?

And adults are not projecting their own frustration. Children and Teens are missing the critical experience to spot the dark pattern smartphones employ. The adults that speak up against them don’t do this out of personal shortcomings but to protect the vulnerable.

Your argument is fundamentally flawed. If an ex-heroin addict tells you don’t do H, do you also not take their word because they were just weak and you surely would not get addicted like them?" Get off your high horse and reconsider your position.

I disagree. Any detox is a good start. However, maybe you want to expand on your idea of how more teachers should just make the problem go away? I, and I think the whole world, would love to hear how sb with a bachelor in education should break the addiction circle dreamed up by multi million tech companies. Phones are made to be addictive and the platforms they provide only focus on maximising the engagement time. I’m happy to hear any other option against that circle that doesn’t boil down to “Don’t engage with them”

Sure! I’m all for that! The current teacher shortage is a whole other topic tho

Because their ability to focus is shot to shit by the short dopamine circles tiktop, insta and YT Shorts

Sure we always need more teachers but you can’t combat phone addiction with more teachers. If the students are unable to focus enough to read 3 pages they sure as shit will not be able to focus on two teachers. Just as a reminder these kinds are in their last 4 years of school, all of them are here on their own accord. The Matura is not mandatory. All of these kids want to go to universities. This is education for white collar jobs.

Ask any teacher how they feel about smartphones in their classes. I have teacher friends who work with teenager 15-18 and they are talking about horrible focus and constant distraction. These kids are hooked on their phones like heroin. If the parents don’t feel like educating their kids on proper smartphone etiquette, it’s up to schools again.

Using Boost for Lemmy? Also having issues with the Wikipedia link? Here’s a working hyperlink: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Watership_Down_(film)

I’m using Ente. It’s nice but their apps are still buggy. Also Ente is better used when using tags for your photos instead of folders. Sucks if you have everything in folders

Yes +1 for Aegis! They have icon packs too to make the entries stand out more.

https://xkcd.com/927/ Just replace “Standards” with “Languages”

English is a piss simple language to learn that the vast majority is already speaking. No need to overthink here. Also if you look at the regulatory side: Eu Government Documents are already always available in all languages spoken in the EU. So any legal barrier is non existent
