It's more like tyranny of inalienable rights which is a good thing in my opinion. Every society should have a bill of rights that the public nor state can't change. That's how you protect against fascism.
If our bill of rights was truly immutable, slavery would still be legal and women wouldn't be able to vote. Doesn't sound like protecting against fascism to me.

It was an absolutely brutal video to watch. I agree. Even with the absolute best field first aid, EMS and surgical response, arterial bleeding I think has a 60% survival rate? Again, if everything goes perfectly, timed perfectly etc.
There has to be a private school somewhere in the United States that is opposed to this model. It's a shame if they do exist, they don't advertise themselves as such.
I want to teach technology to young people through a lens of anti-survelliance, anti-ads, anti-censorship etc
"My wife and I had a disagreement about letting my son (now 23) have my old desktop replacement laptop."
But at least that's your son. We shouldn't outsource these difficult decisions to strangers, school, municipal, federal systems etc.
I wouldn't consider my organization dangerously authoritarian. But definitely authoritarian. I doubt any preferable locations exist in education. They all support this digital authoritarianism. Lastly, I don't have the economic means to just quit.
Well I graduated from elementary school the same way Ender Wiggin did so I tend to think that elementary school students are like the kids in Lord of the Flies and could use some authority.
If the people who have authority aren't willing to use it they will create people who 15-65 years later will be craving for authority because they won't have internalized it. (e.g. that lack of internalization is infectious but can have different consequences) See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anomie.
But seriously, your pension is a trap. If stress in your job raises your blood pressure enough you won't live to collect it. It's not just a matter of what your pocketbook can afford but what your body can afford.
"Why does the school need to disincentivize them working together?" The school doesn't want them using this tool to send messages to one another during class or send inappropriate memes using it.
So instead of asking them not to make inappropriate memes (don't think you could honestly convince students not to chat with one another digitally during class, if option exists) they want to nuke the entire tool.
This school reprimanded me for not using go guardian to remotely monitor what websites they were trying to visit. I told my students it's a gross invasion of privacy for anyone but your parents.
Lots of problems here. They are also TERRIFIED of lawsuits. I couldn't get them to unblock neil.fun because IT convinced the principal their are links to porn sites from Neil.fun
I showed otherwise but they refused to believe their own eyes. Every year it seems I have to sell more of my soul to digital fascism to keep my job.
IDK, "fine, due to no gapps sharing due to certain issues, then everyone must write a professional ScholarlyArticle manuscript with two columns, a title, authors, and abstract at the top" (with e.g. Notepad, LyX, Overleaf, CoCalc's time slider, LaTeX in $ \text{Jupyter notebooks} $ , $$ as /sigma \textit{Markdown} $$, and code with test coverage and docs)

Do people get fired for messing around on Slack and not paying attention in meetings or for underperforming?
Socially awkward penguin:
Is team coordination over chat one of your strengths?
Learn to code and manage projects resources that work on school Chromebooks: Hour of Code, Hour of AI (2025), JupyterLite, jupyterlite-xeus with (PyData,) packages from emscripten-forge, Google Colab, Replit, JS Fiddle, container2wasm, vscode.dev, Dockerfile + devcontainers/devcontainers.json
These days it's pretty simple to generate a meme generator tool; but still the cost of moderation (is part of the Accounting Equation for a team/org/business with limited funding amd operating costs and margin).
Why wouldn't you want to host a service for pick a type (an rdfs:Class) of schema.org/CreativeWork?
How can employers minimize waste and maximize utility of tools for collaboration and also networking?
Current geopolitical stuff too. Intelligence agencies use Wikipedia articles as propaganda tools. The Ukraine War articles are factually incorrect. To be expected with so much at stake.
Yeah I try to avoid pages on Ukraine and Israel, although admittely they don't shun away from the factual things that Israel did. I bet there's a lot of well-paid organizations keeping a sharp eye on a lot of more sensitive pages.
I'm sorry but is this argument in good faith? There is a loud minority of anti-car activists on HN and Reddit that simply will advocate for any policy that harass drivers.
I support private vehicle ownership and am opposed to any kind of tracking/nuisance enforcement behavior.
I've stopped thinking to formulate content. I now think to prompt.
This makes complete sense though. We're simply trying to automate the human thinking process like we try to use technology to automate/handoff everything else.
Eh cars are one of the few areas that haven't been crushed by inflation unless you buy some stupid giant SUV. Honda civic costs less than it did in the 90s/00s (adjusted for inflation). Tons of affordable sedans out there, people just like getting giant $50k+ cars, I have no clue why.
> Honda civic costs less than it did in the 90s/00s (adjusted for inflation)
Adjusted to inflation Honda Civic costs slightly more today in Canada than it costed on 2015. I'm not sure that the median salaries grew at the same rate.
Hard to understand why people are downvoting the parent. That may be a right wing dogwhistle, but also the entire corporate industry seems to be trying real hard to turn life on planet earth into a subscription.
