Good catch, thank you!

I don’t see how I’m being cryptic. I’m poking fun at the headline saying that they’re trialling a four day week, not a four day work week.

My apologies if that was too obtuse.

It’s not about hormones, the problem is the way education is structured today. It doesn’t engage students properly. Sure there’s a bunch of extrinsic motivation, grades, punishment for not performing, etc. but there’s no fostering of intrinsic motivation.

Without motivation you won’t see results.

For intrinsic motivation to work, the system needs to meet the students where they’re at. That won’t work with all the standardisation that we’re attempting.

Sure, a lot of students will manage, some will even thrive, but those that don’t will be left by the wayside.

Ah, four day week instead of a seven day one? Nice! I better only have to work for two days.

I mean they promise violence if they get their shit through so the only option is to challenge them.

This is a fair point I hadn’t considered!

Boggles the mind how one can be a convicted felon and still be in the race, but if you’re in prison you can’t vote.

He doesn’t control much of anything, actually!

The king of Sweden has a similar exemption from the law, but he also doesn’t hold any political power. I also don’t know how waterproof his status is if he did something heinous enough.

Trump already has done heinous stuff.

Which will work great until corporations implement systems that force it onto us. Microsoft building it into the operating system. Mozilla acquiring advertising companies and implementing AI bullshit. Google edging closer to having a monopoly on browsers.

I’ve learned nothing since I got my first phone and that bad boi didn’t even have a clock.

Yes, you’re reading it right, even if you pay, it doesn’t get rid of ads, they just stop tracking you.

🤢🤮

I hate what the internet has become.

I’m so excited for us to have two simultaneous pandemics.

I believe you’re allowed to run ads on free tiers and offer to remove them by paying. You’re not however allowed to track people without their consent, thus you can’t force personalised ads on users, and say that the only way to get rid of the privacy invasion is to pony up.

What does Iran have to do with things?

Dangerous. Don’t insert things without a flared base or some other appendage for easy removal. That thing looks less like a sex toy and more like a paperweight.

I feel this. It is satisfying, but it’s not really productive.

Well they do charge particularly hard for SSDs as well. They’ve found a way to eat the cake twice.

Companies primarily make decisions to maximise the profitability of someone and it’s never the consumer.

Likely born from frustration. It sucks knowing that the future you’re working towards is likely one you’ll never get to experience.
