  • Helped somebody homeschool a kid in elementary school a decade ago, the system was pretty user friendly and only really needed a human adult to keep the kid on task and ensure breaks and such. Basically didn’t need to help at all.

    If the student is willing to learn, and knows to take breaks when they lose focus, I don’t see why an AI teacher wouldn’t be sufficient for 90% or more of the class-time… But a human teacher should still be reachable for occasional needs.

    Heck one actual teacher could probably manage thousands of students for most classes if AI and digital course systems are there to handle most guidance.

    There’s definitely still something to be said for in-person schooling… But it isn’t necessary for every class… I was bored as fuck in school for a handful of basic classes cause I had to wait for the ‘class’ to catch up before we moved on. I prefer online courses for anything that doesn’t require hands on guidance.



  • Does this mean epubs won’t stop and require a new page to load at the end of chapters / new file segments?

    It’s one of my biggest gripes switching from mobi single file ebooks to epub multi-file ebooks.

    Should just append the next file and allow the flow to continue.

    Been waiting for such a change for epub reading apps for many years.

    Update: OMG yes, it works! (Not by default, scroll mode must be opted-in first via 3-dot menu)

    Now I can maintain the same scroll while reading habits I do for online content, PDFs, and Mobi files while reading ePubs! Bout damn time!

    This is now my default ebook reader everywhere!







  • My grand pappy worked on parts used for those moon buggies. He was pretty knowledgeable about them and proud of his work.

    Would be pretty shitty for him to have learned it was all staged.

    He was a hard ass too, ex British Navy.

    I don’t think it wise to hire people like him to work on projects you intend to use to lie to and betray the public.

    Pretty sure it’d be more cost effective and safer to just hire joe schmoe to work up some gadget in his garage, or to handle it in house. Why hire outside professionals and actually do the real work to just lie about the outcome.





  • It’s funny watching this argument.

    I’m from a very hippy community.

    I’m a collectivist.

    I’m extremely far left & progressive.

    I’m wholly anti-fascist.

    I’m also 100% in agreement with you regarding including differing opinions regardless of how extreme.

    Inclusivity only brodens the divide and limits opportunities for people who harbor extremist views to be influenced toward developing more balanced, functional, and beneficial perspectives.

    Moderation can be used to soften their influences in our commuty while including them allows our community to influence them.


  • ‘You people’ is typically defined by the attached action. ‘You people’ are the people who actually do that thing, whatever it is.

    If you don’t do it, ‘you people’ is not you.

    If you do do it, ‘you people’ is you.

    The point is not about ‘who’, it’s an oppositional statement about the ‘what’, the action, and implies it’s bad, or more importantly that the speaker doesn’t approve.

    Like: ‘You people, always with the child raping.’

    If you don’t rape children, ‘you people’ isn’t you.

    But also, the speaker is implying that child raping is bad, or something they don’t approve of, and something they don’t do.




  • A non-profit community service.

    We need an international digital media co-op library.

    Anyone can upload/donate their digitally owned content and share ownership with the community… Or people can pool funds with the community and it can buy digital content as a non-profit co-op with shared ownership and access. Then use private torrents to decentralize data hosting and improve streaming to members.

    Imagine Netflix as a non-profit digital library.

    Movies, TV shows, eBooks, magazines, and music.

    Maybe Cuba would be willing to host it’s main office?
