  • A generation taught not to think: AI in the classroom

    Jump

  • Can you provide an example?

  • My optimism tells me this issue will be short lived. Unless someone can find a very creative way to monetize AI so that it is sustainable, it will likely crash (with local instances continuing to get development).

  • It's great! I felt the "no Wikipedia" was short sighted (UNLESS one of the teaching goals was doing research in an actual library!).

  • Wikipedia is better than an encyclopedia, IMO, because the references are super easy to follow.

  • A generation taught not to think: AI in the classroom

    Jump

  • I spent some years in classrooms as a service provider when Wikipedia was all the rage. Most districts had a "no Wikipedia" policy, and required primary sources.

    My kids just graduated high school, and they were told NOT to use LLM's (though some of their teachers would wink). Their current college professors use LLM detection software.

    AI and Wikipedia are not the same, though. Students are better off with Wikipedia as they MIGHT read the references.

    Still, those students who WANT to learn will not be held back by AI.

  • I know what "circle jerk" means, but I don't know what "leftist" means.

    I don't think it's properly definable at least here in the US.

    This is probably one of the problems.

  • how much do you donate to the apps you use?

    Jump

  • When one of my "cloud" devices / services becomes "enshittified", I'll donate what the provide is asking to a related open source self-hosted project.

    I also "buy" the major update for whatever software I use regularly.

  • NOW we're talking!

  • Article: I switched to eSIM in 2025, and I am full of regret

    Jump

  • "This sounds like a your carrier problem, not an eSIM problem."

    This is true, and we the consumer have no control of the carrier decisions. With a physical SIM, we have at least a little.

  • FlightGear 2025 overview

    Jump

  • It's a great simulator. My son has many hours in it, but now uses msfs.

    Lately I've been having difficulty compiling it (Gentoo) due to a fork of open scene graph.

  • Do you ever go on conservative video platforms?

    Jump

  • Not OP, but great question. A lot of discourse seems to imply that we should already know.

    Historically, there were groups that identified that way for very specific reasons (against European monarchy in Central America for instance).

    In the US, at least, these concepts are quite loosely defined, and I'd even argue, undefined.

  • I'll accept it! 😊

  • Recommendations for after installing Linux (Mint) coming from Windows for best practices for a casual user ?

    Jump

  • Someone who is technically oriented and persistent; with a desire to get an understanding of the lower structures of the operating system, would be a great candidate for Gentoo. Regardless their familiarity with Linux.

  • Recommendations for after installing Linux (Mint) coming from Windows for best practices for a casual user ?

    Jump

  • Don't. Not yet at least, since you've picked a distro.

    Remember when you first started using Windows? All that new learning?

    Remember that this is new learning again. Take your time to understand things, and like another poster said, d don't blindly copy and paste.

    Since you've picked Mint, utilize their community as there may be "Mint specific" solutions to many problems.

    Good hunting!

  • Gentoo experience?

    Jump

  • If I could give only one reason to use Gentoo, it would be the community.

    Anyway, if you choose this route, read the handbook through like a book first. Get an idea what you want your endpoint to be, then start.

  • Older people (30+) online, what would you advise younger generations in regards to life?

    Jump

  • Touch grass.

  • Does it ever bother some of you that "I'm switching to Linux!" is just more of a way to appear rebellious than actually committing to the choice?

    Jump

  • You tried flightgear yet? While not as pretty as MS, the physics, the controls, the thought...

    It's a great sim, and Linux native.
