  • I swapped the entire school computers to linux mint

  • Same in my case. But we were also learning c++ using Turbo C++ (the msdos one with the blue UI) in the 2010. Everything about high school was 15-20 years out of date. The OS (windows xp) was probably the newest thing on those computers.

  • When I was in high school, computers had Deep Freeze setup, because kids would constantly break the OS and download malware. It's a software that resets the C drive to a known state on every reboot. You might consider using something similar on classroom workstations.

    Also, it might be worth learning about network booting, automating the Linux installer and ansible to install things on every machine at once and automate configuration work.

  • You can solve this literally with an if statement:

    if msg.lower() in ["thank you", "thanks"] return "You're welcome"

  • List Of Local Facebook Marketplace Alternatives

  • In Romania, olx has a huge spam problem. There are scammers trying to scam sellers, since the platform encourages people to make phone numbers public.

    As a buyer, I don't like it either. Everything is overpriced. For example, I was looking for some ikea furniture and the only sellers in my area were asking like 80% of the price of a new one. Tech is overpriced too... Like $150-200 for an ancient i3 or i5 laptop with 4gb of ram... I can get a better deal on ebay (where shipping is at least $20-30).

  • DOGE goons physically drag social security worker from desk

  • This sounds oddly similar to the early days of SS which started as an organized bunch of goons serving the nazi party as security guards.

  • Recently downloaded a "cast" app because Miracast doesn't work on GrapheneOS. On first launch, I got 3 consecutive full screen video ads followed by a popup to "subscribe" to their paid service. Next, another popup to rate them 5* in google play store. Note that at this point, I haven't even reached the main screen of the app... You know, to actually try it and see if it works.

    Uninstalled that garbage and gave it the 1* rating it deserves.

    Seriously, I'm so sick and tired of these "modern" apps which don't even have the decency to offer a good quality paid version. $8/mo for a stupid utility I use maybe a few times a year? Who tf do you think you are?

    Using apps on GrapheneOS, I also get notified when they use the play integrity API... I find it insulting when apps like Reddit attempt to access that... Seriously, you're just an online forum. Why tf would you care about whether my phone is rooted or not?

  • The US is just one country out of ~190 with a population of 300m out of 7b. Losing some exports to the US will sting a bit, but in the grand scheme it's nothing.

    The US needs to get its head out of its ass and realize its not as important as it thinks.

  • Apparently a right-wing deacon said this

    Jump

  • On a similar note, the old testament had a historical purpose - to unite disparate tribes and create a national identity against the threat posed by the Assyrian and Babylonian Empires.

    The new testament is just a collections of writings and letters. We have no idea who wrote them, they lied on the cover saying the texts are written by the apostles. And by a pretty arbitrary process, a bunch of priests picked their favorite writings and made them into a cannon.

    If the same thing happened today, nobody would believe them outside maybe a fringe cult.

  • Israel ’executed’ missing Gaza rescue team in latest ’war crime’

    Jump

  • History tells us probably not. Did the US pay anything for the extermination of native americans? Or for the generations of people who lived in slavery? Did Turkey pay for the Armenian genocide? Did Russia pay for the millions of people killed in gulags and the Holodomor?

  • But converting from a format to another is a lossy process. It's best to just keep whatever original format you have, unless you are creating the images yourself.

  • Only downside is that only data that people care about right now is being saved. But what seems useless now might become valuable in the future. It's hard to grasp how much data has been forgotten on some old computers, or some CDs, or websites that have gone dark.
