A toque

I think about this all the time, I really could see myself getting into computer education ten years down the line.

What I would do is this:

• Focus on recreating styles of computing that produced our most digitally literate generation: Gen X (for context, I was born in 2000).
• Give everyone in the class a Raspberry Pi and a MicroSD card. Guide them through the setup process. This recreates larger, more complicated computers in microcosm.
• Start out with the Lite version of the Raspi OS, allow students to discover the different components of an operating system: Bash, window management, sound, the desktop, office applications. Take them through some common Raspberry Pi tasks.
• Do not allow the class to become the Adobe/Microsoft power hour. This is the number one way we are failing our students today.
• Have a unit focused around free software and the open source movement. Focus on social media literacy as well. Ensure that students understand how social media algorithms work, how these companies make money, understand that users are the product.

There's probably more I could come up with if I sat down to really plan out a week by week lesson plan, but this is off the cuff where I'd put the focus. So many of these topics have Connections-style related points. "Why is my computer at home different from a Raspberry Pi?" gives you a great opportunity to expand on CPU architecture, which leads to how computers actually "think". I remember when I was a child one of the things that I was most confused by was how a computer was able to turn Python into something it actually understands, that can be a fascinating lesson in the right hands. How does a computer know where to look on the disc when it boots up? It's great!

Kids already know how to use phones and tablets. Take concepts from those, concepts they are already familiar with, and then explain the deeper process behind it. Computers are engineered by people, you can understand them, it's not magic.

I've been a big Bethesda fan for years, no one else makes games that quite come close to their very simulationist style. I like Starfield, and now that it's a year after launch I have finally found my angle on it to get the enjoyment out of it that I wanted. I think it's a good game.

But it's also a flawed game, it's clearly not for you, and that's okay too.

Lemmy is a lot less women-friendly, queer-friendly, trans-friendly than the rest of the fediverse. That really needs to change.

I want to play either Skyrim or Breath of the Wild for the first time again, knowing nothing about what's out there to be discovered or the limits of the sandbox. Those games cast a special spell in their first few dozen hours before you know where the boundaries of the world are.

I can recognize that I love the Star Wars prequels for bad reasons.
But also they're still masterpieces actually.

Does anyone have a backup of it?

Do vinyl records count? I really like that they make beautiful noise from a simple electromechanical process.

If the Play Store becomes required like that then Android's already-shaky status as an open source base platform is going to go out the window. I'm glad there are non-Google distros of Android but there really needs to be more of a push to make a completely FOSS phone platform.

It was especially poignant for me because so much of the boy-girl bodyswap stuff was very trans coded.

Screaming against the encroaching void that tails us, hell bent on turning every iota of live and culture into something that can be financialized and commoditized.

I've never heard it to mean that

Oh by Threadiverse I'm referring to Lemmy/Mbin and their co-conspirators.

I'm trying to say that that movie got popular online years ago and is still associated strongly with internet piracy culture!

You've been on the internet for a while, yeah?

Your Name / 君の名は
I use it for language learning, watching things repeatedly is very useful for picking up on new words and grammar!

I think Frieren is especially beautiful, like just look at this shot

Fedi's daily active users actually went up for the last two months after hitting a low of just under 1,000,000. That's a lot of people, and on a platform that likely has the ability to carry on like a cockroach in a nuclear winter.

What exactly happened for the name to be changed from Kbin to Mbin? I missed that plot point.

server costs were not the biggest reason, it was down to salary costs

Transition

The tech savvy will just buy a Raspberry Pi and install yunohost on it.

They're molded to the hands really well but the analogue stick is entirely plastic and digs into your thumb really easily!

I do think a split keyboard design would serve a slate like this a bit better though.

I'd been looking into building something like this out of a Raspberry Pi, very cool that this is open source.

He gets off to a rough start IMO, but by the start of the next season he is already my favourite. Mummy on the Orient Express is an early highlight of his run for sure.

Anecdotally I'll say I feel like I used to be in the habit of typing out responses to posts daily when I first started using the internet. It feels like that was slowly trained out of me as the content and the responses got worse and worse (especially with the advent of LLMs). Trying to change that on Lemmy.

It is nice to sort Lemmy's posts by new comments sometimes. Turns everything into a much more forum-like experience.

Here's what women really want:

I dunno man, if you are a girl wouldn’t you want a dude that, yeah, he’s attractive but also that looks manly? That can physically protect you? And that does not has a doll face?..

I personally prefer cute boys, and I know a lot of other women feel the same. Boys that sometimes wear a little foundation and look really nicely put together are just not something that American pop acts ever do! Luckily at least some of the men in my country are realizing it's nice to look cute sometimes.

What's everyone's best Dreamcast memory?

Playing some Jet Set Radio today in her honour

It was the early days of a new technology and way of listening that was completely different compared to the past 60+ years of recorded audio. I guess as a more modern analogy it's like those cheap 3D films at the height of the fad that felt the need to gratuitously shove objects directly in front of the camera to get the most out of the 3D effect.

Brian Wilson of The Beach Boys, who produced Pet Sounds, was actually deaf in one ear. Despite that, he got along just fine in a monophonic world, but the switch to stereo completely left him behind. It was a huge change in how music was mixed.

You have to understand that mixing consoles from that era were supremely limited in channels (think four, eight, later sixteen), to the point where they would often have to mix one section (say, the drums) and then record that mix to tape so it would take up a single channel and then do the guitar, bass, and vocals on another channel. The idea of having two of the same thing going through two channels was an exorbitant luxury they couldn't afford!

I don't remember 9/11

Hey just so you know in many people's minds SW doesn't stand for software.

Fedora is what I've got on my Thinkpad right now and so far it seems pretty good! Silverblue is very intriguing to me but I chose not to go with it because I need to be able to modify aspects of how the lower system works (using JACK for audio for music production purposes; afaik this is not really supported through Flatpak). Compared to Arch or Nix OS or whatever else that's popular with the hardcore Linux enthusiasts, Fedora is just right for someone that needs a working system to just get stuff done.
