- Comment on Philosophy moment 21 minutes ago:
Well, I did. And I am in one. Most teachers don’t care about it. Technically the current principal banned them, but only one teacher told us, and it was a pretty sarcastic “I am supposed to tell you that you aren’t allowed to use phones during classes anymore.”
Anyway, they got partially integrated. There’s an online school system we are supposed to use, and teachers often send us study materials there, including during classes. At one point we even took online exams (physically at school) and most used phones for that too (I prefer a desktop if I can use that).
Basically it became an expectation. “Look this up, take a picture of this, open what I sent you, send me this, confirm that,…”But yeah, anyway, most exams are probably AI-written nowadays. This is known, and not particularly discouraged. Well, one teacher even told us we’ll be given computers with internet access on (part of the) graduation exams, and shown us how we can just copy-paste it to and from ChatGPT. And that was true.
But hey, we also often have classes of absolutely nothing that you just have to wait out.
The level of Slovakian education is setting the bar so low it clipped through the ground. - Comment on Philosophy moment 1 hour ago:
Already included.

- SMS and classic calls are dying. Things moved to Discord, Instagram, Snapchat, or whatever else for the most part
- Burner SIM, or better yet, burner eSIM. Maybe VoIP would suffice.
And the original SIM could still be used in some cheap older phone.
Although it seems everything in the US is a plan, meaning monthly payments. But perhaps I haven’t looked far enough.
- Comment on In the not too distant past this was a thing 1 week ago:
I have a MiBand which for me is primarily a regular watch with notifications.
I haven’t used audio notifications or ringing on my phone for years. I can also just allow the most important, while the less important notifications I’ll see just on my phone when I unlock it, unless I blocked those notifications too.
Currently this means I get SMS notifications (mostly useful for verification codes / package pick-up codes), Lemmy reply notifications, bank notifications (like payments), phone battery charged (80%) notification, and notifications of upcoming space rocket launches with webcast available (within 10 minutes).
My phone doesn’t make a sound, it doesn’t light up the screen, it doesn’t show notifications on lockscreen, it doesn’t vibrate, it doesn’t use notification LED. The smartband is a replacement.

Are you sure if was an actual choice?

Not the person you replied to, but I prefer neither of those in this context since they only represent age-based sexual attraction, which may also be given as a diagnosis.
The more fitting name is a “predator” or “sexual predator”. If specific to children, then “child molester”. Both technically correct (as far as I know), while also sounding more serious (in my opinion).

Ignorance. Lots of if.

- Comment on If you could add, remove, or alter one single bodily function, what would it be? 3 weeks ago:
I wanted to say allergies, but I am not sure you mean abnormal stuff too.
Breathing otherwise. Annoying + can’t stay underwater for long enough.
Though if add, direct thought + feeling sharing. Current communication is way too inefficient.

Well, not for KDE it seems.

Now I wonder if there are motherboards with easily re-flashable firmware (from a read-only device that couldn’t be tampered with).

Possibly.
BTW, certain malware may be able to break out of a VM.
On the other, some malware may recognize that it is being run in a VM and do absolutely nothing to avoid analysis. - Comment on I am the funniest person alive (Source: Me) 3 weeks ago:
If you ever catch me smiling at my phone, it’s probably because I started laughing randomly and it’s weird so I am staring at a blank screen which is something you don’t know but the whole thing suddenly looks normal.
Previously solved by facemasks.
I didn’t even have to interact with people much.
I want another pandemic. I mean, in a good way or something… - Comment on Yes, in the 1980s we downloaded games from the radio 3 weeks ago:

I often see people reply in other languages, even under English posts (usually in German over here).

When do they have to wake up? That minus ~8 hours is probably healthy. 7 - 9 hours of sleep a day is something to aim for.
Whether forced bedtime actually works…

Ahem, not marketing to kids is bad?
Nah, bottom is better. Attracting kids to get the habit of eating unhealthy isn’t.

I didn’t find such post on their account. Are you sure you’re not mixing it up with someone else?
I know somebody else here (Lemmy) posted some low-IQ related question(s).
I am not going dox them here though. - Comment on Brother accused of locking down third-party printer ink cartridges via forced firmware updates, removing older firmware versions from support portals 1 month ago:
I just got an old HP inkjet that doesn’t care about reported ink levels and cheap ink bottles from AliExpress.
I print white on black because I have so much damn ink and nobody expects dark mode documents. Kinda funny when I take out a sheet of paper and have to dry it out. 120g/m² is absolutely the minimum when doing such crap though. Regular 80g/m² just wrinkles up and leaks through, although that’s also a property of dye ink vs pigment ink.
But I also lucked out on sales combined with coupons
ImageCurrently it’s €18.50, though for 0.5L (~1 pint) that’s still cheap. Honestly I am surprised I actually received that.
