Good. Those clowns will trash the index funds that so many depend on for retirement funding if they tank. And AI certainly will, and SpaceX is dependent on the whims of a drug addicted wingnut.

That’s incredible. I hope it happens in my lifetime.

Mad Max? More like the opening scenes to Bladerunner 2049.

They are, in every area except infrastructure, range, and (in the US) affordable variety.

We now have 2 cars that use electricity to a varying degree (hybrid/phev) and it’s awesome. The fuel savings is immediate and obvious.

I travel for work overseas a lot.

The ridiculous number of EV available to the consumer outside of the US is crazy. EBRO, BYD, JAECOO, CYE, XPENG, among others as well as homegrown startups receiving government incentives to produce everything from cars to e-motorbikes and scooters.

The US is so far behind it’s laughable, the regressive cave men we have for politicians along with protectionist greed of the auto manufacturer and petroleum lobbies are wildly damaging.

By taking away any other options?

Be like google, make search so shitty and monetized the only thing left is AI results.

Why don’t these clowns go after the conservatives like Homan or Bovino?

Ah, enshittification, my old friend. Here we go again.

Told to them by AI.

Maybe AI will finally negatively impact some CEO jobs.

Disgusting? Lol. You completely disregarded the fact that these were knowing and willing tax dodgers deliberately and fraudulently attending schools they were not allowed to. They‘re not poor, they can afford to maintain separate residences in two states. Get your reading comprehension in gear.

Completely missed the point to white knight some unneeded righteousness. I have Zero problem with people unable to pay for education getting an education, but that‘s not what’s happening here, and I‘m well aware of how school funding works.

You’re partly right. Did you read the article? One of the chief complaints is that in fact the devices aren’t locked down and kids are using them for things like games and youtube.

You’re in a Lemmy echo-chamber for the rest of it. The average user isn’t us.

As for the rest, schools teach to the lowest common denominator. The article itself plainly shows that the people “in charge” haven’t a clue how to effectively monitor, limit, and control usage of these basic devices. So throwing more at them isn’t the solution when they can’t even manage what they’ve got.

Reading the article it isn’t a problem with tech.

Yet again it’s adult’s inability, ignorance, or unwillingness to limit access to sites and place time limits on devices. Parents don’t parent, parents don’t want to deal with taking devices away, people can’t seem to manage parental controls or learn how they work on the device or the home LAN.

It’s not the tech’s fault. It’s the adult’s fault for not adulting.

(As a side note, people on lemmy need to remember that this is the “average” user, so when you suggest some stance on tech, this is the world outside of the fediverse where people can barely manage an iphone)

Even in states where schools are funded from education slush funds which are supposed to distribute funding equally it doesn’t work well. Well-off areas get better funding, poor areas get less. Some states even do it by county, so if people live in a rural county with no industry or population to tax the schools get very little money.

Yeah, making it so things are more equitably distributed would be great, including higher teacher pay, lower administrative costs (like each district having its own admin and pay structure is ridiculous), etc.

Fuck Flock cams, but also fuck school freeloaders, too. I lived in an area with really good schools bordering a state with cheaper taxes and worse schools where people would have family or a hand-me-down residence listed for schools in (good) state while actually living in (cheap) state with the cheap state listed as residence for tax purposes. Every once in a great while they’d sit a cop outside a school and check out-of-state license plates, but it was so rare. These freeloaders were sending their kids to school on my dime.

Damn. Put a faraday cage around the router and plug in your own router to a LAN port.

It’s Firefox caring about FIFA ad money, not FIFAa caring about you.

Nothing will happen.

Frogs in a pot of water being brought to a boil.

Those in charge will handwave away the job losses and blame some other factor for the economic downturn other their own shortsighted greed while they cry for their bailouts.

Let them eat cake.

Thank god the tornado destroyed my neighbor’s house and not mine.

Thank god those kids in poor countries are starving and not me.

Thank god for killing kids with cancer.

They never attribute to god the things that a god could prevent, or in fact deliberately willed to happen, but they’re sure happy to strip someone of their accomplishments and effort by attributing them to god’s will.
