it bugs me out too. What I've thought so far about their reasoning is: in a world where showing your A+s proves you know more than enough to move forward, why shouldn't they take the shortest path to A? It's a crooked thinking that misses the point but they see it happening elsewhere, why not them...
peer pressure. everybody wants to fit in and get along. nobody wants to be ostracized and other'd into social death. because of this people will literally crush their own spirits into dust so they can be thought of as normal by people that don't actually think about you at all...
Best explanation I've heard that isn't dark AF (COVID brain damage is a real contender) is that most school assignments are bullshit, there's about 10x too many of them, they're not well thought out or creative or interesting because they're boilerplate teach-the-test shit, and most teens are savvy enough to know all of this.
Why spend 4-5 hours *every night* doing shitwork when you could just plug it into a website and do something you'd actually like to do? basically.
1) don't understand how schoolwork is a means to the end of learning, probably in large part because it's not good at that and better at being a means to the end of controlling and subjugating students, and/or
2) actually mistakenly think that learning is obsolete due to both a misapprehension of what LLMs *are* and what they're actually capable of, and a failure to understand education as anything more than accumulation of facts.
being creatively lazy can be valuable. Sadly ChatGPT has weaponized that against students (and junior workers in many fields), so now instead of learning a neat and useful trick to work less, they can uber-google an approximation of it that may be able to convince their guardians/teachers/managers enough to get them to the next assignment.
@trabex Ya know, sometimes I forget that being homeschooled had some huge benefits.
There were major drawbacks for my social development especially, and the religious and political bullshit I was fed sucked, but I didn't have to deal with all the busywork & "teaching to the test", so I didn't get my love of learning squashed the way many schools seem to do.
Education could be *so much* better. Here's hoping someday we'll actually invest in it the way we should.
Had an event at yesterday's D&D game where two of the 8th graders were complaining about accusations of AI use on their work just because they have broader vocabularies than their peers - not uncommon among gamers who read a lot - and the fear that their have to dumb down their work to avoid getting into trouble. So even the ones who _don't_ want to use it are being effected. We need a better cross-the-board solution.
Granted, my own daughter just flat out loves learning shit, so her using AI was never a concern. That being said, when kids aew being forced into classes that they didn't enjoy and felt weren't going to aid them long term, I can see where the temptation is. I was a corner cutter myself as a kid.
I just shudder when I see about 1/4 of the work spam I get being ways/classes to work AI into my job... and what I do is something where fuck-ups can have major consequences.

Otto Kuusinen: As long as the working class wages only an economic struggle, the bourgeoisie does not see in that any great danger for itself; but when the working class organises politically, i.e., creates a political party which expresses its will as a class, the bourgeoisie begins seriously to fear for its rule. That is why reaction deals its main blows against the political party of the working class. At the same time, trying to undermine the party from within, capitalist propaganda endeavours to persuade the workers that they can do without their own party. One of the manifestations of bourgeois influence on the working class is the anarchist and anarcho-syndicalist denial of the leading role of a political party.
Democritus: Not from fear but from a sense of duty refrain from your sins.

Democritus: By convention sweet is sweet, bitter is bitter, hot is hot, cold is cold, color is color; but in truth there are only atoms and the void.

Democritus: Medicine heals diseases of the body, wisdom frees the soul from passions.
Democritus: Immoderate desire is the mark of a child, not a man.

Democritus: In a shared fish, there are no bones.
Democritus: Education is an ornament for the prosperous, a refuge for the unfortunate.

Samuel P. Huntington: The West won the world not by the superiority of its ideas or values or religion (to which few members of other civilizations were converted) but rather by its superiority in applying organized violence. Westerners often forget this fact; non-Westerners never do.
Marjori Palmer: One of the most morale-damaging aspects of the inflation was the "sack of Germany" that occurred at the height of the (1923) inflation. Anyone who possessed dollars or sterling was king in Germany. A few American dollars would allow a man to live like a millionaire. Foreigners swarmed into the country, buying up family treasures, estates, jewelry and art works at unbelievable low prices.
Lionel Robbins: It was the most colossal thing of its kind in history: and next probably to the Great War itself, it must bear responsibility for many of the political and economic difficulties of our generation. It destroyed the wealth of the more solid elements of German society: and left behind a moral and economic disequilibrium, a breeding ground for the disasters which have followed. Hitler is the foster child of the inflation.
Lenin: There is no trace of utopianism in Marx, in the sense that he made up or invented a 'new' society. No, he studied the birth of the new society out of the old, and the forms of transition from the latter to the former, as a natural-historical process. He examined the actual experience of a proletarian mass movement and tried to draw practical lessons from it.
Che Guevara: Many will call me an adventurer - and that I am, only one of a different sort: one of those who risks his skin to prove his platitudes.
Democritus: The first principles of the universe are atoms and empty space; everything else is merely thought to exist.
Bertolt Brecht: Lenin is enshrined In the large heart of the working class.

If you were to replace just the 100 million tons of hydrogen used as a chemical feedstock around the world with green hydrogen, which is to say, we take renewables, we run it through an electrolyzer, we split water, we end up with pollution-free hydrogen. That would require the equivalent in renewable electricity of the entire US electric grid, which is to say everything, nuclear plants, coal, oil, plus all the renewables. It's funny because someone read a draft of that book, said, "No, you made a mistake, you must mean it's just the renewables on the US grid."
No, no, it's the whole grid. So, yes, and this is one of the points I make in the book: It would be a mammoth undertaking, I think we could agree, just to do that.
@Tom Grzybow that point is treated in the interview too. Basically, any hydrogen economy is a dream, mostly financed by gas producer because it suits their short-term interests.

Le chef de lโรtat a refusรฉ: ยซ Ce serait dรฉpenser des milliards dโeuros (...). La rรฉponse, cโest une politique europรฉenne qui protรจge notre acier ยป. Macron a dรฉfendu son action, rappelant la crรฉation de 150 000 emplois industriels entre 2017 et 2024, mais Binet a rรฉtorquรฉ: ยซ Encore une fois, vous refusez dโaffronter les multinationales ยป.

LDAC is proprietary, so I wouldn't be surprised if it isn't available on Linux. You can probably use SBC-XQ, though, which is open source and lossless. Try installing pavucontrol and check what codecs it offers you for the headphones.
After all that, the Max streaming platform will be re-rebranded back to HBO Max this summer. It's 'the plot everyone's been waiting for,' a cheeky update on the app says.
I always thought "Max" is what "Cinemax" was transformed into. And HBO & Cinemax were always like the Crips and the Bloods of cable TV so when HBO decided to rebrand as "Max" that was frankly very confusing.

Welcome Fedi Friends to episode 16 of Fireside Fedi! I'm your host ozoned. Fireside Fedi is a show about folks within the Fediverse. If you're seeing this, you are a part of the Fediverse.
With me today is Cory Doctorow! You might know Cory from such classics as the term "enshittification" that he coined during one of his many presentations. But besides having catch terms that even your grandparents can agree with about today's big tech platforms, Cory is also a science fiction author, activist and journalist. He's had a few books that us on the open social web might enjoy such as "How to Destroy Surveillance Capitalism" and "The Internet Con : How to Seize the Means of Computation". Cory works for the Electronic Frontier Foundation, is a MIT Media Lab Research Affiliate, a visiting professor for numerous colleges. Cory holds and multiple honorary Doctorates. And might I add, I consider Cory to be one of the most charismatic and vocal advocates for digital privacy rights and I am claiming he is now King of the nerds. And there's just so much more to say about Cory, but I recommend everyone just go look up his Wikipedia, because if I have to talk about all of his accomplishments we'll run out of time. Cory thank you so much for joining me and I'm just blown away and honored to be able to speak to you.
i have a friend โ she's an old lady born and raised here in the western north carolina mountains. she hates computers, yes, but she's been willing to learn a lot and quickly after joining a big signal group chat that our shared local community uses to keep in touch.
aside from memeing with the best of them in the group chat, she also maintains a large fish pond outside the house she built herself. this despite being in her 70s. she's an inspiration.
she has a landline. it works great, and the landline phone hardware works great with her hearing aids. she's had it for years. spectrum has a monoply in our area so the landline and her cable internet service is with spectrum.
she got a cell phone a few years ago. she got a smartphone basically because she had to to do basic life tasks, including joining the big signal group chat. at first she just used it on wifi, but quickly she decided she wanted to be able to use the phone everywhere so she got a cell phone plan from spectrum because they were already her ISP. spectrum mobile uses the verizon network โ famed for its good rural coverage.
this is where things started to go haywire.
all her accounts on websites, things like email and bank accounts and health insurance and healthcare providers, they started trying to send her SMS messages in order to let her get into her accounts.
the SMS codes don't work, because they don't come. she doesn't have cell service at her house. it's up in the mountains, sure, but it's not isolated. she lives 20 minutes from downtown asheville and she has lots of neighbors on her road.
she turned on wifi calling on her phone. now she could receive SMS messages from friends and family, but 2FA codes still weren't coming through. i did some digging, and it turns out messages from 5 digit shortcodes often aren't supported over wifi calling. sometimes they are, but in her case they're clearly not. she has a current, stock iphone. she's using the spectrum-provided internet hardware. she knows how to use her phone.
i did more digging โ it turns out some ISP-provided landline services support receiving SMS messages to the landline, and then a computer voice reads them out to you. โwe don't offer that serviceโ the spectrum chat told us.
some of these accounts can likely be converted to using TOTP 2FA rather than SMS 2FA. this is good, but you have to get in to begin with in order to turn that on. so what my friend has to do is:
make a list, over time, of the websites that she's locked out of because of SMS 2FA
not be able to use those sites at home the whole time she's making the list
schedule a meetup with a friend like me
drive to town to meet the friend
sit down and systematically go through the list of websites and convert them to TOTP
inevitably discover that some of them don't support TOTP
try and contact those companies and explain that they need to turn off SMS 2FA on her account so that she can use their healthcare/banking/email/whatever service from her home
discover that it's not possible to talk to a company anymore in 2025
other options available to her include
port her cellphone number to a VOIP provider that does support receiving SMS from shortcodes over wifi
spend hundreds of dollars setting up a cell tower signal booster outside her house
move
these are all ridiculous options that shouldn't be necessary in order to log in to a website.
if you look at the spectrum mobile coverage map where my friend lives, it shows she has perfect coverage at her house. and all her neighbors do too. all the way up the holler in fact!
this is simply false. she usually doesn't even have service 100 meters down the road.
another friend of mine who also lives out in the county, a millenial, once said that โSMS 2FA is the bane of [her] existence.โ the valley she's in isn't even that deep.
and TOTP, the obvious alternative solution, is still pretty sorry. you have to download an app to do it, it's not just a capability that a phone has by default. and then when trying to find an app to use for it, you're presented with a multitude of high-stakes choices, and often pretty technical explanations if you start internet searching about which app to use.
i understand why SMS 2FA is so ubiquitous. when it works, the UX is good, nontechnical users intuitively understand it, and it's usually secure enough.
but there are 1.1 million people in these western north carolina mountains, 25 million in the rest of the appalachians, and many millions more in the mountain west and pacific ranges.
we have internet, but we have F-tier cell service โ what are we supposed to do?

The 2025 election cycle has seen a notable series of Republican losses in key local and state races. These defeats were often in traditionally Republican strongholds. Stolen or not, one thing is clear: Republicans must turn out in overwhelming numbers. Make it too big to rig.
