It really depends, there’s plenty of ways to politicize an educational system and call it well-working. I think a more crucial distinction would be to teach people to be able to discern good sources from shit sources and how they can be manipulated without realizing it, and having taught across several semesters, if a good education system is simply not viable (i.e. poorer EU countries).
“It’s too complex, can’t do anything about it!” I swear, the moment people saw the crypto industry being able to ignore fiscal laws and responsibility because of shiny objects in the form of algorithm complexity is the moment they realized they could do it in other IT fields like AI.
Even if Microsoft doesn’t look at your data because it is encrypted and only the AI can look at it, the AI is still training on it. I haven’t seen anything about Microsoft keeping their paws out of your locally trained AI which essentially can localize anything they wanted to look into your data for within its neural networks, so I wouldn’t be surprised if that’s loaded onto the cloud because of “support” and “improvement research”.
Textbooks that are good references are great. Textbooks that are just another class and withhold the answers are garbage.
I’m being far more universal than the obsession this narrow cisgender thread promotes. It was an issue with the pandemic. It is an issue with abortion rights. It is an issue with elections. It is an issue with so many things, that you would have to want to be willfully ignorant to focus on any single one. Your problem is humanity and their obsession to sacrifice people’s safety for their feelings. People who put their feelings over your safety are the ones who should be avoided. No need to bring pandas into it.
So, people’s safety is more important than people’s feelings, basically.
The best part of this thread are the people coming from inclusive LGBTQ+ communities and who should know better unironically adopting narrow cisgender perspectives trying to rage bait stereotypes while becoming stereotypes that get rage baited themselves.

Case in point.
The sad thing is that some people consider this a social movement rather than the meme rage bait that it is. If your social movement promotes bears, even if ironically, don’t be surprised when you get mauled.
The message is clear, no distinction with a jab of toxicity, great for entertainment and a humor litmus test, but if actually taken or said seriously, it might say as much about the speaker as it says about its intended audience.
Bears are just big dogs that can maul and physically abuse you without really being aware of it, and they might even be sorry about it afterwards, but they won’t be able to talk about it. I’m just surprised that a movement would be created that would go to somebody whom is generally considered to suffer from those traits that are negative and say, “y’know, I’d chose the bestial manifestation of those traits over a person”.

Replace ISP with VPN, if you use them.
That’s why you get the fly mesh edition Crocs.
I wear Crocs because they are functional, for any other reason they’ve long since fallen out of fashion. Combines good insulation with good air flow and they are extremely durable. If being ugly makes me an idiot for wearing them, then I am a complete idiot who deserves his electrolyte laden future.
Except that at least nationalists can be criticized in mine, creating such a mess in a first place. In theirs, if not explicit social censorship, there’s clear persecution of the barest opposition.
Funny thing, at least we get to criticize it. They don’t.
Nice job joining the block list
Except that,
Our objective news - is really just a mess of different slants, some being propaganda, that are not censured even when their content approaches slander due to heavy political bias.
Our combating disinformation - is largely unexisting to the point that several large social media providers have abolished or acted against the control they had for doing so and that their CEOs shamelessly meet with presidential candidates with ties to them.
Our glorious leader - is hardly accepted as a glorious leader and the portion of the society that does also tend to have absolutely no qualms about becoming more authoritarian by their own admission.
Our great religion - is criticized within the country and an increasing number of people are becoming atheists.
Our noble populace - Our heroic adventures - Ok, who is writing this meme? Who thinks their society thinks this way? Half the other populace disagrees with the other half, even going so far as to be described as hate, and any mythos of heroic is easily dismissed the moment it becomes convenient to do so not to mention the amount of criticism armed forces get.
This is whataboutism 101. Not all sides are completely black and white, but not all sides are equally grey.
I no longer enjoy mouse clicker action RPGs like Diablo, I sort of technical advancements have made FPS perspective RPGs and 3rd person RPGs better unless they involve deep turn based mechanics like Baldur’s Gate 3.
What? They did have onboard sound. The problem is that if you used the motherboard speaker to make anything more decent than a beep, you basically needed to build an entire sound engine from scratch and very few games did so. It also wasn’t worthwhile because a shitty two pin speaker could not compare to the speakers of a professional sound system which you needed the soundcard to hook up into, and CPU bandwidth was such a limitation back then than even when games could play WAV they would use MIDI to offload the musical instrument synthesizing for the soundtracks to the sound card. Designing a game that used the onboard sound speaker was basically the realm of assembly hacking geniuses.
