Cleaning up?

There’s good reason it’s government administrated though. The competition model only works in urban environments. And even then. Those magnet schools etc are often just as big a part of the problem. Creating large disparities at best. Or a slightly more expensive failure mill on average.

There should be more leeway on a state by state basis to decide instruction methods etc. Provided they can satisfy core competencies. Part of the problem of the last 50 years is that we’ve let the most anti-education State set the standard for Education Nationwide simply because of their size.

Those are unreachable regardless. Making it socially unacceptable will keep many from falling into the trap at least. They should of course always be given a chance to change their minds and grow. But they have to have a reason to want to change. Which is why ridicule and social stigma are an important aspect.

Why does Satan always procrastinate on calling his soldiers home.

Education, fostering a culture of learning, merciles ridicule of any of that would reject it. There was a time that anyone screaming about the water turning the freaking frogs gay. Would only be seen standing on street corners smeared in their own shit as everyone shunned them. Not as an influential leader outside of small religious cults. You can never do away with them completely. But as a society we used to do much better about it. Boomers normalized it, us gen-x tolerated it, and it became a fact of life for millennials. Hopefully the Zoomers will finally start the push back the other direction. And those of us that are sane in the previous generations can show solidarity and support more than in that.

Yep, anyone who rails against education as an enemy is definitionally not a good person or group. Here in the United States that has been conservatives for the past nearly 60 years, and this is all been normal.

Such sites existing are not the problem. The problem is the cultures that accept and even Foster such sites. Authoritarian ideologies, leninist or fascist. They rely on conspiracy-minded dogmatic rhetoric and propaganda to keep us divided and fighting.

Yes. Any sort of automated scraping needs to be double checked. It’s generally fine. But for things behind distributor services like cloudflare Etc. The IP return is going to say more about the person connecting to it than the people behind it.

Quick addendum though. Cloud flare and AWS however are both in the United States if I’m not mistaken. And still vulnerable to being compromised by our fascist Administration. But the.world server itself is fine.

It’s your vote. And honestly, presidential elections are meaningless beyond keeping Republicans out currently.

I would much rather see AOC or Mamdami focus on helping to build other state legislatures up as allies. That would be the best way to actually get things done. So much effort is wasted on the presidency. And not spent in the legislature, which is where the fascists have gotten most of their victories from.

To them the facts never mattered. Just their feelings. So it’s plenty in script for them.

LOL you guys just can’t help yourselves can you? I’m sure it’s just a matter of time until a right-wing American fascist supporter comes in here and whines about their freeze peaches being violated by .world because they couldn’t be Nazi enough. But as I said extremists all, and no one whose opinion should be valued much.

Lemmy.world is 100% hosted in Europe. Of course authoritarian groups left and right fantasize about it being hosted in the US for different reasons. Generally when their extreme views are moderated. However those groups also have a lot of control and resources to spread misinformation. Not to mention experience. So I don’t find it surprising that a lot of people don’t realize it’s not.

Yup. Ottowae/Wyandotte descendant here. When I was young I used to hear my grandmother mention “Indian school”. Always in passing and never elaborated on. As a child it was something I never thought much of. There’s all sorts of schools out there. Religious and otherwise. I assumed it reference schools run by or on the reservations. Heh, nope. She passed long before I understood or ever thought to ask unfortunately.

Oh absolutely. I’ve already run it for years with a mixed hodgepodge of zigbee Z-Wave and Wi-Fi devices. The problem is that many still phone home to somewhere. I definitely want to get everything down to matter and threads on my local ha as much as possible.

Was looking at good options the other day for a thread border router. My father was an ESP based option. Though not the ubiquitous cheat esp32s

Doesn’t want? Or doesn’t need? Auto coup incoming in 3 years?

Google has always harvested data. Which I’m generally not a fan of and try to keep as much of it as private as I can. But this whole Gemini thing is egregious. The one and only thing I ever use Google Assistant for his voice commands for home automation. I really need to set up the built-in one for home assistant etc. And Gemini has been absolutely fail-tastic when it comes to taking over those duties. I’ve had to disable it on a number of family devices which suddenly stopped being able to work with a few of the smart home devices around the house.

Going forward I’m heavily investing in matter/threads. The day I can have everything handled locally and not need to rely on proprietary constantly enshitifying bullshit. That will be a great day indeed.

Okay, and? Because he died more than 20 years before the Revolution. Does that mean that Lenin was somehow not aware of him or the ideas he put forth? And came up with identical concepts on his own? How is this supposed to work, or what are you implying?

Engles directly informed Lenin’s authoritarian oppression. How can one belong there and not the other? Marx definitely doesn’t belong.

That was less a particular assessment of the times, and more a generalization. But I agree.

Money will definitely present an obstacle. But the fact mamdami is the parties candidate carries plenty weight itself. Outside the primaries people are largely clueless. Name recognition will count for something. Though I don’t think Cuomo’s is that good. IIRC he’s dirtied of plenty. So hopefully party recognition will outweigh.
