The situation of class sizes decreasing? The article you gave is from 2021 so im guessing its just methodology of oecd vs nces? the closest citation to that claim is from a 2013 NCES source though.

The country has one of the highest QoL in the world, how it got their and the system that maintains it has plenty about to critique and deserves to be destroyed, but saying theirs nothing about this country someone would aspire seems weird.

People in my school literally failed PE, all you had to do was literally change your clothes. This is just people boogy manning tech so they feel smart. Fact is these kids will not be held back no matter what, and even if you hold them back they don’t care. They don’t see why they should bother learning in school, their parents don’t care about how they are doing in school. Passing American K-12 is essentially putting 4 brain cells of effort. We spend more money on education per capita then the rest of the world. Talk about class sizes, text books blah blah blah dosen’t matter when you have kids bullying teachers out of their jobs

In California most of my teachers were making 6 figures in my rural town, the problem is that kids don’t care about learning, their parents especially do not care at all.

Agreed and activitypub is great for creating a indie web kind of feel but it’s just a flawed model that brings the power dynamics of Reddit mods but with 0 checks to counteract it.

- Comment on Why is Valve being sued for almost $900 million, but Epic Games wasn't sued when they bought Rocket League and Fall Guys to remove them from steam? 5 weeks ago:
I don’t understand this I use it for rocket league occasionally and it all just works ™ ? I prefer Valve 100% to slopnite developers but the launcher seems fine to me. (On Linux Heroic is unlikely better than steam which has a bunch of random bugs every few weeks)

Genuinely, do you think the average person tiktok’ing their question is getting highly reputable sources? The average American has what, a 7th grade reading level? I think the LLM might have a better idea at this point

Unironically I think people are too addicted to algos to ever move. The true opioid of the masses. These companies could fund the next holocaust and people would just complain about it… on instagram.

Okay but its a search engine, they can literally just pick websites that align with a certain viewpoint and hide ones that don’t, Its not really a new problem. If they just make grokpedia the first result then its not like not having the AI give you a summary changed anything.
- Comment on DuckDuckGo poll says 90% responders don't want AI 1 month ago:
So many people were already using tiktok or youtube as google search. I think AI is arguably better than those

Maybe im not well versed in European politics enough but I don’t see the same level appearing in other European or Anglo countries? Like even in the USA we have death squads now but I can still use a VPN… Age restrictions is usually due to religious voters

You make Microsoft act like some mastermind genius carefully planning to take away everyone’s rights instead of a bunch of clueless DIrectors who are chasing KPI’s. Just happens more people relying on their technology means when the Government comes knocking they can give them all the data they want.
