Worst part is google could kill Firefox at anytime because they provide a very large amount of Mozilla’s funding.

TCP/IP is literally a decentralized protocol?

Does everyone here have a wired subscription or something?

It’s paywalled. No way the commenters here read the article.

It’s tough.

Kids are going to use their phones for random bullshit in class no matter what if they are allowed, but phones in general can be a fantastic learning tool used in the classroom.

I wonder if we might eventually see schools distribute phones like they do laptops, even though that in itself is rare. It would allow the school to lock them down during school hours. Maybe include some option to buy out the phone/number when a student leaves.

A common complaint of not allowing phones is that students can’t contact their parents quickly in an emergency or vice versa. A locked down phone with “emergency contacts” fixes that issue.

As they keep going down this path, slowly communities on lemmy will grow.

It took Reddit nearly 2 decades to become as large as it is today. Lemmy/Open source platforms in general have plenty of time be become just as big.

Or maybe I’m just coping at the permanent loss of something great.

At this point I’ve accepted that the USA has ceded(purposefully?) its top spot on the world stage to China.

Additionally, just “knowing how to code” has never been an actual ticket to success.

Software engineers are hired to solve problems, not write code. If you can write code but can’t solve problems and create innovative solutions you’re no better than a monkey.

I believe most people’s problem with AI comes from the potentially massive financial bubble and economical damage to come from over-adoption of the technology where it should not be used.

Many people, like Torvalds, know that AI is useful for certain things when used responsibly. Low level programming is one of the best places for it. You’re not solving business problems. These are usually optimization and security problems with verifiable outcomes(ex AI finds bug, you can actually confirm bug exists).

Unfortunately the ease of which you can produce crap with AI causes big problems for everyone trying to actually improve things.
