FYI, I have the FLX1s, and I really like it. It’s quite buggy, and I wouldn’t give it to a “normie”, but I think it has a lot of potential. That being said, their support hasn’t been great.

I haven’t heard of the Comet, but that looks super cool, thanks for the heads up

Me working like a schlub doing idiot things like “testing” and “verification”, while this guy moves into a Sr role

The No Child Left Behind Act of 2001 (NCLB) represented, in the United States at least, the triumph of measurable outcomes over meaningful learning. Under its regime, schools were judged by their students’ performance on standardised assessments. The consequences of poor scores were severe: funding cuts, staff dismissals, school closures. The entirely predictable result was what educators came to call “teaching to the test,” a practice in which classroom instruction was narrowed to the specific content and formats that would appear on state exams.

As someone who graduated before then, this was a problem long before NCLB. It’s also a fundamental misunderstanding about the purpose of American schools. Schools have two goals:

• Babysit kids, so that both Dad and Mom can go to work
• Train kids to do arbitrary, bullshit tasks that don’t have any meaning or purpose

Any actual learning when I went to school was tertiary, and Critical Thinking was constantly shot down. If you want an A, you don’t Think Critically, you regurgitate what you were told, even if it was wrong.

lol, I’ll believe it when I see it. Something tells me that there’s gonna be a list of “approved” websites, that also just so happen to increase their adsense buys around the same time…

“…but would military officers be held responsible?”

wonders when was the last time we in the US held officers responsible for their war-crimes

I have the FLX1s. It’s buggy AF, but it works

To harass PoC, and improve profits for in-airport shops

Linux! I have an FLX1s, so it’s actual Linux, not Android.

It does have an Android compatibility layer. But the core system is Debian, not Android

They used to do that for me. I could pop an edible, and get focused on chores for like 3-4 hours.

Then one day they started giving me mild panic-attacks, SMH
