Instead of 'american' or USian or others, why not Yankee? It has historical significance to the united states, originated a a pejorative, and the south hates it. Perfect

Overwrite wasn't the best choice of words. Display in place of is better. There's a literal option now called "disable hyperchan" If you use that config, you don't need to do anything else. But, having a dev introduce a feature which supercedes users' deliberate choices for his, and his cronies amusement was reason enough to leave.

Funny thing about neoliberalism can he blamed on liberals when conservatives arguably enact it more

1st turnoff for me was the creator added this anime background which overwrote whatever background you had. I found the file and wrote a hook to automatically delete it on update reverting to mt background, only to find that there was a condig option to do the same thing

2nd The maintainer is a bigot and I won't support bigotted projects when there are other (better) options like sway which I know use.

TLDR: Creator violates Wheatons Law. I don't like that.

It's not a matter of the tools or the times. It's a matter of teachers not engaging students in a way where learning is organic. Natural. Fun. When I was in school, we didn't have ai, but when I was asked a question on an exam "what is Jane Eyre's aunt's maiden name" I lost all respect for the teacher and shut off.

A truly good teacher not only has a mastery of the material, they have a compelling and creative way of delivering the content. Class becomes a page turner. I want to keep reading to find out what's next.

Such people are rare, but they share similarities. First, they form meaningful relationships with students. Beyond surface level things like "what's your pet's name". Relationships where students come to the teacher for life advice. Teachers who also do things like go to student events and cheer for them. Like a tennis match or a piano recital.

Good course design is critical. Grades can not be a punishment or something which causes students stress. Grades are the number one reason students cheat. And why wouldn't they? I hate this thing, and I need straight A's to get into that prestigious school (where I will continue to cheat). Perhaps we should just rid of grades all together.

Now, when I say its matter of teachers not doing X, I'm not blaming them. But ai is on the doorstep, and short of turning schools into more of police states, the only way to change is for teachers to change. And it works. There are those of us who have shaped ourselves this way since before ai was an issue.

Serious or otherwise.

Update: Thanks for all the advice! The interview went really well! At the end, the department chair said he was going to talk to the Deans. Now all I can do is wait. Thanks again!

spoilerConsider replacing "you'll" to "I'd" if that changes the meaning for you

Jesus. Another one of these? Every freaking day. (Promise it's different)

I personally like mint and pop!os for new users, but for this user I want to try something windows like with more sex appeal. I don't want to have to touch this computer again. Proprietary software is not an issue/consideration. User is techier than most. What has your experience been with kbuntu? Pros/cons? Other suggestions?

We all have opinions on how to procedurally get someone started using Linux. To mixed effect. I wonder if we could be more successful if we paid closer attention to the machine between the seat and the keyboard. What mindsets can we instill in people that would increase the likelihood they stick with it? How would we go about instilling said mindsets?

I have my own opinions I will share later. I don't want to direct the conversation.

I'm speaking of creative works in particular. I'm generally in favor of the media entering the public domain when the artist dies, but when something enters the public decay, shit gets weird. Having Spongebob as IP keeps him on rails for who he is as a character. Change that, Spongebob as a character is changed by the public that could make the original unrecognizable. What's the line when a derivative work becomes it's own IP? What do you think?

Because they thought it was too 'woke' and wanted to burn the books.

FWIW you can download it: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Database_download

Edit: Lots of good answers. When I ask the question I mean the main site. We would all have access to it. Hell I downloaded the text yesterday on two computers. I mean could the masses ever be denied access to wikipedia in the only form they are used to?
