At best you learn some basic formatting and table calculations, there's no need to get specific into MS word/excel. There's essentially no difference between MS and Libre office here. Same with the operating system, if you're just sitting in an office, reading and answering emails in a browser you don't have to care about the OS.

Besides, school should teach critical thinking and how to transfer skills, not shoehorn pupils into specific roles and software.

In other words, if you don't want to pay more for fast food, then you don't actually want to see fast food workers earn a better wage.

If a business relies on exploitation, it shouldn't exist. If paying the workers a living wage means raising the prices beyond a sustainable level for the business, this business shouldn't exist. If a business pays out millions in bonuses to it's executives while the workers are relying on government subsidies, the business shouldn't exist.

In BWL lernt man zumindest Angebot und Nachfrage kennen. Dann würde man erkennen dass ein interessanteres Jobangebot die Nachfrage nach diesem erhöht. Menschen unter Scheissbedingungen da ein Jahr zu zwingen macht den Beruf nicht attraktiver.

Oder man macht solche Berufe attraktiver anstatt auf ~~Sklaven~~ Freiwillige vertrauen zu müssen.

I don't like Canonical either, hence my recommendations for Mint or Pop being listed first. But let's be real, if someone wants to just get away from windows and wants something that works without having to learn much new, this is good enough.

Unironically, switch to Linux. Mainstream distros like Mint, PopOS or Ubuntu are very friendly for casual users, have GUIs for everything and if something does go wrong, the error messages actually have proper meaning and you'll find tons of resources online as well as people willing to help.

Most stuff nowadays runs in a browser anyway, so here there's no compatibility issues, office is available in Linux through libre office and gaming has come far with steam and proton.

Mint looks quite similar, and if she asks "Microsoft applied an update and now the start menu looks different."

If all she does is browse the internet and read emails, she'll never know the difference. You could even set up the splash screen to display the Windows logo or just disable it all together.

Wikipedia itself is pretty great, the company and its marketing behind it, not so much.

The transition from EVs to public transit, biking, etc has to come eventually, too. We can however already do that and places have successfully done so. Look at the Netherlands for example. EVs are in the way of transitioning to better public infrastructure and will only delay it.

As mass effect taught us, Newton is the deadliest son-of-a-bitch in space.

1st gets 25 points, second gets 18 per race. He consistently won nearly every race this season whereas second place was less consistent.

As soon as you leave the city though, you're having a problem. Bicycle infrastructure is basically non-existent, cars heavily impeding buses - at least where I live - which delays them all the time and centralised bus hubs, which means that you always have to go to the bus hub first, change bus lines and then go to your destination.

This is also my biggest problem with the metro in Oslo. If you live slightly outside of Oslo but still along the metro line, the only way to travel perpendicular to the metro lines is often to take the metro towards the city, change lines and go back almost the same direction you came from.
