  • Holy fuck. Those are some pretty nasty experiences. No wonder they led to you having such a fear. I honestly don't think I could play a game like Subnautica, if it was me. So I think it's very impressive that you have, and even beat it twice. You're made of sterner stuff.

  • Damn, kudos to you for playing a game like Subnautica, when you have bad thalassophobia. Or did the game make you discover this fear? Still, if so, respect for continuing to play!

  • I'm with ya on that one. I'm curious to try PieFed, but hesitant, because it'd mean installing Interstellar and using that instead of Boost. It'd be nice to have all accounts in Boost, even if it means forgoing some of the exclusive PieFed features to begin with.

  • And in this future scenario, even if it isn't all fridges that phone home, or you somehow manage to disable it on a fridge that does, I'm sure that'll make your premium go up too. It'll be advertised as a cost-saving measure - "Give us access to this data, and you premium will be less! (Until we see you buying something outside of your plan, in which case, you'll have to pay more)"

  • Yeah, I never thought I'd be a vertical tabs fan, but I am really loving it in combination with their compact mode. Really nice layout with the containers, pinned tabs and essential tabs! Also really digging the Glance feature and floating URL bar. I'm really looking forward to folder support!

  • Good question, wish I knew too. Although I didn't even notice at first, because Ive always clicked the comments link.

  • Any Elder Millennial born after 1979 can’t Markdown, all they know is jot that down, 30% off on jeans, nostalgia for blockbuster, eat hot chip and buy avocado toast

  • I have yet to find a paywalled article, where putting archive.is/ in front of the link, doesn't solve that problem.

    Doing that for this article, gave me this link: https://archive.md/KBTlE

    Although in the case of this article, you'll have to request the desktop version, if you're using a phone, because otherwise their Read Next box will cover some of the text at the end.

  • woah, that sounds ingenious! I'm gonna have to make a note of that for the day that I finally pick up a headset.

    El Salvador’s Prisons Are Notorious. Will They House Trump’s Deportees?

    President Nayib Bukele has offered to jail deported criminals from the United States. His prisons have earned him a reputation as being tough on crime, but have raised alarms over rights abuses.

  • All of this has happened before. All of this will happen again.

  • Here's a way around the paywall: https://archive.md/ZDs6S

    But the article doesn't really make it clear how much AI is involved in the textbooks, just that "Digital textbooks that make use of artificial intelligence are being adopted throughout South Korea.", emphasis mine.

    Other text from the article, relevant to your question:

    South Korea, the 2025 APEC chair, held the group's first education ministers' meeting in nine years, the theme of which was innovation in digital education. Education ministers from 21 countries and regions participated.[...]Private companies and government-affiliated organizations set up booths at the APEC venue to promote their efforts. They exhibited software in which generative AI writes student evaluations on behalf of teachers or assigns homework and applied problems tailored to each child's level of understanding.

    The road to implementation was not a smooth one.

    The government's original goal was the world's first rollout of AI digital textbooks to all schools nationwide. But teachers worried about the burden that making full use of the technology would place on them, while parents questioned whether the textbooks would actually improve student performance and whether they could lead to digital dependency.

    After heated debate, lawmakers made last-minute changes, including requiring continued use of paper textbooks for subjects such as Korean and home economics and delaying implementation for other subjects. The government also made plans to provide advanced training to more than 160,000 teachers as well as dispatch 1,200 digital tutors as support staff.

  • That's okay. I'd rather have the functionality and have to deal with that, than not have it at all.

  • That tracks for me. My family just unsubscribed from both HBO and Netflix last week.

  • Oh, it's Saoirse-Monica Jackson from Derry Girls! Absolutely perfect casting of her in that, hahaha.

    David and Dion Sinclair, you're being assessed as mandated by the Milligan Act 2033. This inquisition will seek to ascertain if the accused, Tia Grace Sinclair, was a victim of willful neglect, psychological, physical, emotional, financial, empathetic, or a combination of any of the above. In the event that guilt is established you will be charged pending further investigation.

    That actually sounds interesting. Think I'll give it a shot.

  • Sure, my 73 year old mother can't walk at a brisk pace and have a deep conversation at the same time. But it doesn't mean that she can't spend a week educating herself about race inequality and then read up on class conflict the next week after that.

    Why should we ignore one issue in favor of another? Of course, if someone doesn't have the mental energy for more than one thing, they should focus on the one thing that matters most to them.But I do think that it's a bit blithe to tell everyone that they shouldn't spend time on challenging sexism, because we should all instead just focus on class warfare.

  • Yes, I can care about and work at many different things in the course of my week, month and year. I think a lot of people can.

  • I can multitask.
