  • I cut the cord when netflix was just mail order CDs. The moment they started their bullshit with password sharing, I canceled my sub and never went back. Hulu got the axe too. If you live long enough, you either die a hero, or become the villain. Nextflix decided to become the villain.

  • Trump administration to end Medicare Part D subsidy program in 2027

  • I didn't blame boomers, or Gen-X. I wasn't trying to imply it was the fault of any one generation. I said MAGA, which is all encompassing of anyone from any generation that voted R.

  • The offer to pay more for the same finally pushed me to cancel Apple Music. What is a good alternative that's not loaded with ads?

  • I do not download the app to my phone or PC. I use it with firefox and add blocker on PC and use it with brave browser on my phone. You can also upload your own music library to it. So all my CDs were converted to digital files and I uploaded it. So you can make it add free without paying.

  • Why did a $154 billion CEO just endorse stripping most Americans of voting rights—and taking us back to the 19th century? | Fortune

  • The shopify CEO wants to strip voting rights from people that don't pay taxes. So, 18-20 something year olds that don't have income and get claimed as a dependent. SAH mom's that get claimed as a dependent.

  • Schools across America are quietly admitting that screens in classrooms made students worse off and are reversing years of tech-first policies

    Jump

  • The issue here is that the technology itself, instruction, and implementation was incredibly poor this century. Schools weren't doing basic things like typing classes for primary school, there was no instruction on how to program or use the operating systems, and kids weren't given PCs; they were given tablets and chrome books which favored internet access based learning platforms over products stored locally on machines.

    I grew up during the 1980s, and my primary schools had 1 apple pc in the classroom. We took turns learning typing. We learned how to operate the machines by inserting floppies and typing commands. Things we were given access to were all instructional. I have vivid memories of learning math via computer with a program called number muncher.

    Access to the tech was limited and supervised. This is what created an environment that taught me how to use computers as I transitioned to secondary education. This century, all of the implemented controls were related to limiting access to pornography rather than teaching students anything about the actual tech. Now we have a generation of people entering the workforce that don't know how to use PCs just like the boomer demographic.

  • What's one giant LIE that's frequently taught in schools as a lesson?

    Jump

  • You do have a valid argument. There are lots of children that don't have an environment that allows them to do homework or study.

    I don't think this means we should get rid of homework. Homework is essentially practicing what was learned in the classroom. Learning is a constant process, it doesn't automatically happen after being exposed to a topic during the course of an 8 hour day. Learning anything requires practice. (The neurons that fire together wire together.)

    If little Billy did the homework and got a bunch of stuff wrong, that helps the teacher identify and diagnose the skill issue, (in theory.) If little Billy didn't do his homework at all, the teacher has no idea Billy could be struggling to learn the material until after he has been tested. It's a tool to help students practice, and a tool to help teachers assess and diagnose. It shouldn't be used as part of the rubric that determines what a child's grade for the material is at the end of the term.
