Wag the dog, great movie even greater strategy!
That’s what she said


No it is: Hi, how are you?


The other guy isn’t much different


I keep seeing this guy on facebook talking and he seems quite reasonable. What’s the catch with him? I know nothing about her.
For server I can vouch for debian or rocky great distributions. For workstation or laptop I use endeavour os. Super stable and just works. I did use Manjaro in the past but every once in awhile it would break and because it is a bit different than arch the solutions would not work straight away.
I do not game that much except for some fallout every once in awhile, but that works too on endeavour

Writing correct code not so much…

This looks interesting and I will keep an eye out for it.


I am a scientist myself and I cannot see how you can solve maths and physics problems on a tablet. Maybe I am incompetent and lack the imagination but the physical limitations of these devices just make them cumbersome at best. Again I am not arguing against tablets computers etc. Just that some things are better learned with pen and paper. There are far fewer distractions and you get a much better picture when you have 3 pieces of paper in front of you with all the steps you took to get to where you are now in your solution than swiping back on the tablet. I am obviously biased but it just makes more sense to me.
Writing an article absolutely digital I would never argue against it. But actual learning is better analogue in my opinion.
And then there are the issues you mention about forcing people to use a certain brand for their education. Pen and paper is for everyone. Easily available and ready to use. I can see your argument for textbooks and here it is where a tablet could be useful (provided is distraction free). Load it up with textbooks and go. But even then my bias makes me skeptical. There are mental mechanisms to remember information from books. One can remember the placement on a page, the place in the book. In a digital version that constantly changes depending on how you read that.


It could be a skill issue but if that’s the case I’d argue that introducing digital learning should have been a slower process. Anyway there are countless studies showing the differences between typing and handwriting (like this one: https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11943480/) but I also have a story. Years ago I had a friend who was doing different neurological studies and she measured once the difference in the brain when writing vs typing. She said it was night and day. When writing the brain lit up almost completely, because handwriting engages so many centers for so many motions and memory recall etc. Typing she said looked almost the same as pressing a single button over and over. There wasn’t much engaging of other motions. I found it very interesting. This was years ago before social media, I don’t think smartphones were a thing yet much less tablets.
I am not saying that there is no place in learning for digital technology. It would be stupid to ignore them. But some things are better learned with pen and paper.


It is not the same thing and you know it but you do you!


Nope this conclusion is general everywhere. Replacing textbooks and pen and paper for tablets and digital technology has damaging effects on the learning process. We as a species are not built to learn by clicking and swiping on screens. We learn by touching, feeling and writing on coarse paper. Learning is an incredibly complex process and attempting to simplify it only leads to superficial gains as opposed to real knowledge.
Now when learning 3d geometry for example, people think that buying a bunch of 3d shapes they can touch and bend and visualize easier is better. But what they don’t realize is the effort to visualize the shape with ones mind’s eye is far better for the learning process even if it takes practice and it is slower.
This race for immediate results in everything created the impression that learning a few things quickly and applying them without actually understanding their depth is better than slowing things down and building knowledge. But the curve must go up up at all costs!
If the subscription gives me access to a home assistant integration I am in. I might be in anyway because I really liked dark sky u am just waiting for the android app


Isn’t that the point? Ensure there aren’t that many voters? I’d say it works as I tended.


Alright now I am learning something!


All I know is tauri is the name given to Earth by the goa’uld. When did this came up? Everytime I blink another language appears


What about sovereignty?/s


I think they are wondering how deep it is not how thick


Sounds like a plan!
But but the emails?
