  • I’ve used Ubuntu for 10 years. I love it for stability, ease, and simplicity If i need to do anything there are plenty of guides. I learned how to do a lot of cool stuff on linux but I don’t really need or want to do any of it.

    Mostly I just pirate movies, use a vpn, torrent, listen to music, write. My career doesn’t require much computer stuff. Why should I try something different?

    I’m not working with a huge amount of interest in or energy for complicated customization. I just wanna turn it on and have it work.













  • There is a teacher shortage right now. The supposed pressure to improve things comes from where again? Who is going to be on a megaphone, chanting about poorly educated youth? Who gives a shit about illiterate, poor, people, except the manipulative assholes who get rich taking advantage of them?

    Personally I believe the state wants poorly educated citizens They spend lots of money on stupid shit. They take pride in working several low paying jobs, poor Healthcare, poor infrastructure. Basically, poor, uneducated people are perfect slaves. Why do you think it was illegal to teach slaves to read?






  • While I agree, and I am a part of my teachers union, I also don’t see any evidence that teachers will suddenly become respected and well paid. Like, Suddenly we all realized that we should feel grateful that we can read. Nope.

    My NGO, WFH friend thinks she is working hard. The reality is, in our current system, the harder one works the less one is going to make. For her she has a stable position in the NGO.

    Their goal is to help save fisheries and wild fish stock. In reality she doesn’t even know what salmon looks like unless it’s on a bagel.

    You think these billionaires are just a billion times more hard working? They are just manipulative, insular, myopic, and selfish. Those are the key ingredients to success in our system. Surprise surprise, they are the opposite characteristics that a good teacher requires.
