Teacher pay needs to nearly double to afford a typical house
  • Working in a school district currently, that is pushing AI in a massive way. It's going to be interesting to see how this plays out.

    There is a major push here for teachers to use it as much as possible. While I get it to a certain degree... I'm also not sure how I feel about it. Just seems like a more convent way for teachers to do less, and be less "involved".

  • I think you're right. I think this is going to cause an increase on events like this for sure. Trumps base is going to want to send a message.

    Gunshots reportedly fired at Donald Trump rally - as former president rushed off stage
  • Glad your happy... You going to be happy when his base rallies now, too?

    I love how left leaning all of lemmy is... But the comments encouraging the violence or disappointment in the fact the shooter "missed", seems off.

    Can you live without YouTube ?
  • With AI absolutely exploding... It's very easy to ask for step by step directions to accomplish things. AI clearly still needs to mature... But... The times I've asked it for some basic, step by step directions, it's been effective.

    While I don't disagree videos make a lot of things easier (I for sure am a visual learning, no question), the step by step instructions for things I've gotten have been good, and very easy to follow.

    Arch and Gentoo users reading about NixOS
  • Damn... 8 years? I made it almost two years with tumbleweed on my work laptop.

    I like mixing it up, trying different diatros and various programs. After awhile, a fresh install just feels nice...

    HP wants you to pay up to $36/month to rent a printer that it monitors
  • Absolutely hate the fact that their drivers and firmware updates (for servers) are stashed away behind ludacris support contracts.

    Have a simplivity stack at work, and for two nodes with an off site DR, needed an $8,000 support contract just to get the latest drivers and firmware to upgrade to the latest VMware version simplivity supports.

    One shot deal, as we are already planning the move away from VMware and getting plans together for budgets to do so...

    Maybe they all do this...? Admittedly I've not had to go looking for drivers or firmware updates on the few dells we have as they are air gapped systems that just run for a very specific purpose... So I honestly am not sure. But HP absolutely sucks in this regard as far as Im concerned.

  • I picked up an Epson eco tank printer for my wife a couple years ago, and it's been fantastic! My wife, being a kindergarten teacher has a knack for absolutely killing printers... And this little Epson has been a work horse!!! I have nothing but good things to say about it!

    Reddit sent me invitations to their IPO to my "deleted" accounts! That's a GDPR violation!
  • I got the email, also... And like you, I've not used reddit since the api BS. I've not logged in, commented or anything since just before sync stopped working.

    Games you wish you could experience again for the first time.
  • I have to go back to the first game I was ever hooked on, and that was soldier of fortune II.

    My buddies were all playing quake and unreal tournament... And I wanted something that was more modern and realistic. I picked up sof2 on a whim and played it a little bit. I was still fairly young and didn't understand online multi-player. It was this thought that it was very involved and clumsy, and could be a pain. One night I went to the multiplayer tab, which generated a list of servers. I double clicked on one and the game started to load. I remember being blown away! "Is that it?! Am I really loading in to play other real people?!"

    I was instantly hooked. That whole experience was really something.

    I know, it probably sounds lame to the younger people here... But growing up, the internet didn't exist... At least until I was about 8.
