in grade school our art teacher had a loom. was the coolest thing to me at that time.

I have done it. you quickly get something with the exact features you want. its one of its better uses. If I had the money and a long going campaign going I would have an artist do it up right though.

I mean as a browser im moving away from firefox but I may end up using it as a standalone local llm. I would still like a gpl os flavor built around locall llm. something that is very limited on installation but with options to expand capability. Essentially something like a start trek computer.

there is sound we can’t hear. there is also light we can’t see.

Locally my school system had what they called accelerated courses which were called AP at the senior level where you took an AP exam to get college credit. There were also L classes that were the opposite. So based on your grades and test scoring you had the choice of 3 classes but one was the simple class, one was the typical, and one was advanced. In some cases like math it would go further as you could have an senior in the freshman L class lets say. Our state had a special math and science academy that did not do grade level 9 and to get into it you had to be recommended by a teacher and apply. It was a boarding school downstate. I know it because I was recommended but did not get in. I may have never finished the application. They did not give you all that much time.

So im an old IT guy. I don’t mean this as a you should do this but you know in any job there are types. Im the paranoid IT guy type. I generally never update or mess with a systems unless im ready to put some time recovering from some issue. Now granted I have not really had any on my linux installs now that its my daily driver but I still treat it like that. Its also a reason I wanted to go from a standard type of install (I used zorin) to an image based on (now I use bazzite). I also use app images to make moving to a new system to be easier. There has already been a lot of advice on alt distros. I kinda agree with you on people recommending distros for begginners or non tech people. I recommended zorin because it came with softwrae out of the box. its a big deal to me you could burn a cdrom right after installation. Then although I use the community version they have a paid one so if someone wanted they could get official support. like many of my comments its closer to anon sequitor on my things that really helping with yours but good luck.

to bad as I worry people won’t realize how good things can be without a perspective from the 70’s. it was not all hams and plaques but its direction was improvement. I often think about how when you were hard pressed to see anything plastic outside of toys that life was pretty nice and convenient enough. As much as I like the internet and computers im starting to feel like there is not a whole lot of quality of life improvements with technology in a general way.

was gonna say most groups in yahoo went to facebook.

in high school a massive stoner burn out guy excidely came to us saying he found the sickest song on the jute box. it was hey jude. he apparently saw hey dude in his head.

ah. yeah. that happens. I put a long explanation edit to a small comment when I realized it was being taken differently than it was in my head. internets just like that. its hard to get a feel especially when we are all bouncing around.

why? sounds like you did your part. if you had not given any more context then yeah its expected to get that but if you did then its on them to read the post. its understandable someone does not go off to another website but if the info is where they are hanging out then its on them.

did you post more than a title and link?

yeah. I do find they don’t put much into misinformation. I think its because all they need is the headline since most people do not read much more.

again I find your takes over the top for the comment your replying to.

Thats a bit harsh. You see that in some other comments but they just did not present it very well. It has some relevance.

or people with stories and maybe pictures sought out reporters/newspapers

wow. just wow. I mean even though they did not know what was going on there they had to know it was going to be bad. to volunteer for that. and then how it goes on for him after the war. thank you for that read.

even if you do I have multiple brothers that used cannabis and one that is schizophrenic. one that is not smoke it fairly often over a very long period. he did eventually quit but not because of psychosis.

I don’t see how there is a difference. do they have cell phone sensing technology and have somone take them and lock them up or do students lock them up as they enter. it makes no difference if they lock them up in their locker or a special cell phone place. either way some students will try and sneak around it.

don’t even need to punish much. confiscate and can be picked up by the parents.
