It takes IT literacy to have activism against an IT construct.

No, it doesn’t. I don’t need to know how to operate a coal plant to protest against one being built.

Being able to use a desktop computer has no bearing on your ability to grasp the environmental and socio-economic impact of data centers.

You also run into the issue of little Billy not doing his homework because he already understands the lesson and doesn’t want to waste his time.

My math teacher would make me take tests sitting next to her because I wouldn’t do homework but aced the tests. Eventually she realized I wasn’t cheating, I was just able to grasp the concept from her lectures alone.

But quizes should be used to determine which students need extra practice on a subject. Since everything is digital now, it wouldn’t be difficult to build the algorithm.

Color photos were a thing, but they were significantly more expensive than black and white until around the 1970s. They were mostly saved for special occasions.

Plus, news papers didn’t really do much full color until the 80s. Before the mid 50s it was basically just the comic pages that had color. It was the launch of USA Today in 82 that popularized the way newspapers use color today.

Photographers capturing events shoot a lot of film, and there was no compelling reason to shoot in color at the time.

It’s almost certainly isn’t a conspiracy to make students think it happened a long time ago.

Boomers might have moved things in the right direction, but let’s not pretend that a significant portion of them didn’t push things like conversion camps.

Plenty of States, run by boomers, would still ban homosexuality if not for the federal government.

To narrow it a down a bit more, the client (like your web browser) is asking another computer to do stuff for it. The program on the remote computer that listens and does stuff is the server (like Apache, IIS, or nginx).

Just like restaurant servers and customers are both human; they just have different roles.

It would be nice if Yellowstone did that, but I guess the buffalo make it infeasible.

It’s only dumb if they get fined for more than they gained by doing it.

Which isn’t a thing in the US.

I think you misspelled Windows

You’re joking, right?

They’re the brownshirts, not the SS.

While true, it doesn’t apply in this case. Trump has always been a political puppet. They used Reagan the same way.

King of the Hill too

So… yours does track you.

That’s basically the entire administration in a nutshell.

I bet the first response was AI

It’s wild how little time it took to go from, “Jimmy Carter can’t own a peanut farm,” to this

It was already the norm. Just a different org

Or get shot

There’s literally a hobby where people find locations based on pictures stripped of all metadata with very little visual info.

If someone really wants to dox you, the only way to stop that vector is to never post pictures that show outside where you are

What’s wrong with archiving slides so you can revisit them later?

When I was in college I did similar stuff because I benefited more from actually listening to the lectures instead of trying to keep up with taking notes.

Also, taking pictures is a good hack if you’re nearsighted.

But the worst thing I ever witnessed was a Gen Z girl searching Google for Yahoo, then searching Yahoo for Yahoo mail.
