Because I’m at a fast food place in the first place because my time is important and I don’t want to waste it ordering.

That and the guy taking orders does it 1000x a day and i can easily order that way instead of me navigating ten different menus just to order a simple meal for my family.

I’m OK with my old man status at this point. Tech is good when it improves things for the consumer. The kiosks seem to just improve the company bottom line IMO.

Getting all the states to agree to this seems unlikely and I believe it needs to be unanimous, right?

I would love if lawsuits brought the shit that is ai down. It has a few uses to be sure but overall it’s crap for 90+% of what it’s used for.

That’s a good take but I gotta say- kids are kids. They WILL slack off, they will goof off, they will use the phones for other things. This isn’t a critique- it’s what kids do.

If they need tools then a couple ipads or similar can be used. I don’t find the argument “they need to exist with smartphones in society” convincing for school. At work you know you’ll be fired if you’re caught using your phone too much, etc. and slacking off. Kids aren’t under the same pressure as that and quite frankly I wouldn’t expect them to act with that level of maturity as even some adults don’t and they’re older and should be wiser.

As for the problem of just existing with them? I feel like that is yet another thing that school won’t solve. That is up to their parents, etc. Good habits start at home. Expecting schools to solve all problems (especially ones so entrenched like socioeconomic conditions, poverty, etc.) is half of why we’re here in the first place. But guess what? If the kid is given a tablet or allowed to use a cell phone at the table and basically whenever/wherever they want, do you think their behavior will be different in school? Do you think it’s up to the school to be forcing this? That is yet another ridiculous burden I think we’d put on teachers and staff.

Moreover, don’t you think we should be conditioning these kids that it’s ok to exist without a phone?

These kids won’t be worse off without phones. Like you said- the rest of us did just fine without them. Let them have a calculator and computers in computer class and call it a day.

Seems odd. They’ve been pushing login.gov like everywhere.

Imagine being these people angry at us wanting something that doesn’t affect them in the slightest. Talk about petty.

I haven’t. The n9 with meego was amazing. The n900 too but I’m still sour thinking how great meego would be now instead of android.

It’s not going to be a shitshow at all. Business will mostly move to 11 whether they like it or not and consumers will just use unpatched win10. The exact same way they did with XP and the exact same way they did with 7.

It’s only gonna be a shitshow if there is some earth shattering vulnerability found that a worm can exploit and even then MS would probably just push out an out of band update.

This is honestly going to be a “nothingburger.”

Yep, looked more into it. Honestly it sounds great. A dedicated box AND remote with kodi and an integrated app store? I’m intrigued. Will give this os a go soon.

Definitely interested but not sure what apps are in its app store and what osmc even is (only ever used kodi).

Cool. How about a repairable phone with a headphone jack? I’ll be a day one buyer.

Iirc you can export everything. Most allow export of passwords of course but i think proton allows export of passkeys too.

So there’s portability if they ever do disintegrate.

I don’t understand this question. Are there people who wear their filthy, disgusting shoes around their nice, clean house? What animals and monsters do this?

Talk about lack of reading comprehension.

Blocked. No use talking to someone like this.

Yep. And quite frankly, I don’t understand the hostility. I take my shoes off if they’re clearly dirty (ie. mud, water, etc.) but normal just walking on sidewalk? Why?

Maybe there is some kind of very trace amount of dirt on there but what difference does it make to my floors? I wear shoes in the house too so if they are dirty, oh well. I guess if you had one person going barefoot and one wearing shoes, maybe that is why you find it odd?

I also think a lot of people here are very afraid of any dirt. I vacuum weekly and mop biweekly and it seems fine (mostly hardwood here.)

Like why would my floors need to be spotless? Do people just find it “icky” or what? I have to think there is like a next to zero chance you contract any kind of sickness by just wearing shoes inside your house and “bringing in dirt” so

I think it might be more difficult for you to grasp it’s not really nice to call someone doing something other than you an “animal” or a “monster.”

Good lord- it’s shoes man. Relax.

This is at least hilarious to me.

I just don’t get people downvoting. It’s odd. Maybe it’s odd I put them on but I just like being prepared to go do whatever. I might take the trash out, might go for a walk or go to the store, might sit on the deck, etc. Makes it easy to just have them on already.

What really kills me is people who don’t do this seem to get ANGRY that some do. Like, it’s not your house, what do you care?

Yep.

It is. People who shit on gnome are insufferable. Just use your other de and stfu.

The only test that exactly no one will ever pass is a progressive purity test.

There’s always something objectionable and it gives them the perfect excuse to do nothing instead of something that’s not perfect.

That’s not exactly good for making a party, let alone a viable one in a first past the post system.
