"Fresno High is the latest school in the district to roll out the 5 Star Students app to regulate student trips outside classrooms during instructional periods. Students are limited to two seven-minute bathroom breaks during the day, and the app keeps track of the time they spend outside of classrooms."

imma tell you what, this kind of bullshit data-aggregation surveillance on children should never be normalized.

Every time I hear about stuff like this I thank my lucky stars the iPhone was still a rare luxury item when I was in high school. Technology seems to bring out the worse in school administrations.

I'm not familiar with how it works in American schools. What's the worst thing that could happen if the students politely disobey? They give the kids detention they can simply refuse to show up for?

@Jaden3 Who are the 4% who picked Trump? I would have thought Mastodon is an utterly inhospitable environment for right-wingers.

@Jaden3 He's right when it comes to writing for traditional publishing houses, but not about writing in general. Lots of good careers involve significant amounts of writing: journalism, advertising, technical writing, law, public relations...

Edit: I also forgot editors and proofreaders. Both are steady jobs.

Time for a re- .

I'm Carmen. I like , , , (still struggling to contribute, though), and talking about the . I live in .

I'm on the left but have eclectic views on a lot of things. I don't really like the Fediverse's over-the-top political culture. I'm looking for people who are not so political to follow and interact with.

devs: do we have a free API for current weather conditions? I'm trying to modify xfce's weather applet to use a service that is more accurate for us than met.no appears to be.

I know of Metservice's 3-hourly coded data, but it's useless (you have to load a whole webpage and run javascript to see it).

@Jaden2

We don't do much in our family. That is, except for my sister's dogs -- the two pugs have their own stockings as well as presents from my aunt.

I love the dogs, but I'm not too sure how to feel about us becoming that kind of family, lol.

Trying to get Debian 0.93 working in qemu (hundreds of packages!).

Shame it doesn't seem to want to play nice with qemu's disk emulation. I figured out that the boot floppy it tries to make is full of garbage and that you need to use one with grub on it instead. Still, it kernel panics when it tries to mount /

Looks like I'm going to have to pull an old laptop out of the closet.

"Mastodon is great because it gives you tools to curate your own experience without depending on any centralized authority. Also, everyone here needs to follow these 5000 rules I made for what and how they should post."

@TechConnectify @beeoproblem

I'm absolutely baffled by the frequent content warnings on animals making eye contact.

Is it mean for autistic people? I'm an aspie. Neither me nor anyone else I know is bothered by animals just looking at us. Who asked for that?
