I usually let my students keep their devices, but I had one student… I had asked everyone to write 5 sentences about a made up place. The kid was on his phone, showing things to his classmates while assuring me he was doing his work. Everyone finished but him, with nothing. I let every other student share their answers first to buy him time, then when it was his turn, nothing. I took away his phone and he had it done in less than a minute.

The facts could be there, but people have good reason to be reluctant to go looking for them. Kids are dumb. They do stupid things all the time when there’s nobody there to tell them how stupid and dangerous it is. Their brains soak up as much as possible, and when they hit puberty, their brains start sloughing off what it thinks is excess, and suddenly they think it’s a good idea to ride a bike off a waterfall or some shit. Secretly opening an onlyfans for stupid easy money from pervs seems hardly a stretch to me if you knew you could avoid being caught.

Or parents who exploit their kids for easy, filthy money.

I didn’t even know there was a desktop app. I’ve been using a safari PWA. Aren’t those sandboxed?

The internet was so fast you must have missed it.

I got a used one as a university student while living in Japan. I had never played one before, but to this day I think it’s one of the coolest systems ever made.

The controllers feel so good in your hands, although the cord coming out of the bottom is weird. The VMUs are such a perfect 90s thing.

I was just talking about dealing with .doc files, but you are free interpret that however you want, buddy.

Life sure is terrible when people enjoy things you don’t, isn’t it?

Employer: Print out this .doc and bring it to work. Me, with a Mac: alright, here you go. Employer: why did you print it like this? Me: that’s what you sent me.

… out of a landfill?

Betcha one of them is actually working just fine.

I don’t think I can articulate how annoyed I am that people are being so dismissive toward music composers. Music can make games.

I think I have a famicom+disk system in storage somewhere. Got it as a college student studying in Japan.

I’m not French, but I am a teacher and I want in on this. Love getting materials sent to me from Microsoft teams accounts that refuse to let me actually access anything. Cute web UI, now can you send me the actual document instead of a picture of it in a browser?

I was being completely facetious. I played LttP a ton on my GBA

Yeah Zelda games were terrible on GBA.

Yo save me Mr tako was cool! It plays like a gameboy Kirby game. I had the privilege of playing a bit of it at Kyoto BitSummit years ago and purchased it for switch. I should get it for deck now that I have one… Shit there were a lot of cool indies at bitsummit I can actually play now that I have a deck.

Tako no himitsu is definitely something I need to check out.

They will still be selling user data whether you opt for the ad supported tier or not, so get used to that.

Well I suppose because it’s just too much a hot topic right now, AI probably should be exempted from discussions on privacy concerns. Good point.

I think you could eliminate all tracked advertising across the internet and the losses would be much smaller than Google would have you believe.
