I don’t get this. And I’m le tired.

I’ll take a nap.

AND VIRE ZHE MISSILES!!

1. Blockbuster didnt exist in the EU.

That’s. Uh… the entire idea of a kickstarter.

It may crash and burn. Don’t want that, don’t back anything on kickstarter.

I don’t get this. Y’all should talk to a psychologist. Its a goddamn mobile phone. If you don’t want to use a device’s primary function maybe you should use something else to browse porn.

And if talking to people makes you anxious and makes you feel violated or makes it feel like someone is disrespecting your private bubble…

You should go out more. Without that gd device in your pocket because clearly, obviously to everyone else but you that device is hampering you, limiting you even hurting you.

This is crazy.

Us Dutch: Fucking Finally.

You will only take my Gravis Ultrasound Max from my stiff cold dead hands.

Not before.

I moved heaven and earth to find and buy one back in the day. We will never part ways. I don’t have had a system to put it in for the last 22 years. I dont care. It’s resting in its box untill… I dont know, the rapture or something. It’s mine.

Looks at the top of the line Samsung Odessey 49"/54" ultrawide monitor. Looks at specs. Reread this comment.

Uhuh

The books (since they all share the old testament in one way or another) talk about it, us being good shepards and responsible for all beings. Just a little, but it is there. Somewhere in the beginning.

It’s just that we’re assholes and if something doesn’t fit our narrative we ignore it.

Just like all the books make killing crime no 1, but we go “yeah, no” when it suits us. (in war you may kill because i say so and you may kill that Israeli, westerner or arab because they are subhuman unbelievers/desert rags.)

The commandments are very clear and there are no exceptions possible according to the book. But we made those up anyway. Which is weird. Here we have the guiding principles of being, given to us by god and we choose to disregard them. Sometimes even in the name of god/allah/Jahweh.

Disclaimer: not an active Christian. Just had to go to a lot of sunday school in my day.

No. Lemmy posts are always left leaning. There is no right and no center. Thats disheartening. Next to that most communities are too small so no viable discussions follow. Most communities die in months.

Then again, reddit.com doesnt exist anymore because some schmucks have taken over, resulting in obtrusive ads, profiling and tracking.

I dont post on reddit anymore. Still follow some subs though because they just dont have an alternative.

I went from 1 source (reddit) to several(lemmy, mastodon, 4chan, 9gag). And still it feels empty. Mostly because while some memes are nice, 4chan is filled with morons and 9gag… That’s a “racist app” according to its own users. But it doesn’t stop there. A lot of posts there are just vile. Not just right wing nut job, no, they are worse. And masto is mostly the same as lemmy.

Semi professional wifi(networking) at home (TP link omada or ubiquiti) and just buying excessive amounts of access points in my home.

Fuck you, low wifi signal. Fuck you, crashed router.

“children”.

“Researchers and popular media use the mid-to-late 1990s as starting birth years and the early 2010s as ending birth years”

Trust is lost and will never come back.

Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice…

I guess they’re feeling a disturbance in the force. Like as if millions of gamedevs suddenly screamed in pain and then switched their game engine.

You do know why.

Heroin is just a painkiller. A slotmachine is just a game. Guns don’t kill people. A cigarette is just a plant leaf in a piece of paper.

While all true, there are clear merits to regulate them.

Are smartphones bad? I don’t know. But I wouldn’t reject the idea on the spot. I don’t think it’s the device perse, it’s how we use them. There are assholes among us.

My experience as a parent:

It has nothing to do with education. It had nothing to do with knowledge.

It has everything to do with trust. They trust youtube/insta/Tiktok. They trust the influencers.

This is nothing new or exclusive to kids. Don’t believe me? The antivax movement. You know: “educate yourself.” That. Grownups are not immune.

This is nothing new.

Nobody will win. The waitress stays or will return and still get paid shit. The menu will get digitised because it’s cheaper. You know what less costs mean?

Higher profits.

The end.

Wake up.

It must be no. 1.

It’s perfect as it is.

“All children deserve equal participation and more opportunities through inclusive education,” Brandenburg said.

I concur. Unfortunately I also somewhat concur with this weird guy on this topic because the current system does not result in equal participation.

The current system results in a lot of unhappy parents and unhappy students and burned out teachers.

That doesn’t sound or look viable. But it is what we got in a lot of the EU.

The inclusion project almost always results in exclusion. Only in the first few years it does work.

After that it quickly becomes very apparent for all the kids that that one kid is different. And that the teacher spends all most all his time on that one kid. Which results in envy and jealousy. And that one kid also feels like shit because of that.

Kids, like adults, can and will be very mean.

In the school of my kids I’ve seen it work twice, in 13 years. All the other times it ended with a premature departure of the special needs kid.

Now I’m not talking about mild autism or mild adhd or a small mental deficiency. Those are manageable and those kids should be teached at a “normal” school. I’m talking about the severe cases of those and syndromes like down.

Here I am, on my first Samsung ever, being happy that stuff just works again. (like it did on my Huawei, long, long ago)

Ymmv.
