Been that way at least 25 years.

Also now-a-days “online” often mean government public school too.

home education has been the primary form for most of human history.

do you have a better term to cover Parochial and government schools as one seperate from homeschools?

as a home schooling family we consider both gorvernment & parochial schools still public schools, because they are out in public.

Nostr

The headline hear makes it sound like Zelensky is insisting that the EU has to be part of the Russian/Ukraine peace talks. But the linked article doesn’t say that.

“He [Putin] wants to negotiate the fate of Europe — without Europe. And he wants to talk about Ukraine without Ukraine,” the head of Ukraine’s presidential office Andriy Yermak said."

It’s like Russia’s ban on “the global LGBT conspiracy”

He’ll be the oldest president America has ever had. Maybe he’ll die beside he has a chance to do too much damage.

Not to mention data and memory intensive.

Similarly I have no clue why my new work laptop comes equipped with a dedicated “copilot” key.

than what did you mean by “brought to you by Carl’s Jr”?

it sounds like you are implying that FLOSS programs include annoying advertising. I don’t recall the last time I saw any, and Free Software actually helps make that possible because someone else could easily, relatively speaking, fork it and release the same thing legally without the ads.

to be fair, most of those Chinese scammers probably need the money more. Most of them are in effect slaves and convincing westerners to give them money allows their handlers not to kill them. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pLPpl2ISKTg

Yeah. Most of my formative years where spent with both of my parents living off assistance. It was steak on the 3rd of the month and ramen the rest of the month.

When I moved out I was flabbergasted to learn many of my classmates & colleagues considered McDonald’s cheap and would eat out regularly, and some of them didn’t even count fast food as eating out. While we would go only like when we were traveling to visit family.

i dont’ care wacha all say. It will never beat a hard-wired connection.

against the idea of Net Neutrality

Did this ever actually do anything. The only change I noticed was that shortly after it was repealed we could actually watch YouTube videos at my mother-in-law’s hosue (I’m assuming they were paying HughesNet to be able to make their content go faster than the artificially throttled maximum).

Is that hyperlink a bad copy/paste or is there some connection there that I’m not understanding?

I can only speak for myself, but I used to love to get home from work and contribute to free software projects I found interesting. Since I got a good paying tech job at a big company, the last thing I want to do is more of the same when I get home. (having kids around the same time probably had an influence too).

I guess it matters what you mean by hippies. My dad and all the other old foggies he smoked pot with in the '60s are all #MAGA now.
