And yet, in non-English speaking countries, virtually every kid is taught English to a level that’s at least “roughly business”.
I also reject your premise of 8 hours / day for a year; how about 1-2 hours / day for 4-8 years.
In the case of English, school kids would get more like 2-4hrs per week and be perfectly fluent after a couple of years, btw.
You do have a point. TBH I only now realized that the video was posted from Doctorow’s personal account, and without a link to the “original”, which yeah, kinda weird.
The talk itself is still worth it (had the fortune of sitting in the audience), but probably a good idea to use the media.ccc.de link.

Right, so the joke is misogyny, got it.
I don’t get it, what’s so funny about that joke?
Let’s be real, when some shitty company (MS) gets around to it, it will be: ☁️⬆️
Incredible. What a shit idea.
Anyways, kids, remember: never let your smart devices talk to the internet. We actually love our LG OLED - it’s fantastic hardware. But it has not once, and never will, get the chance to phone home.
Some might say interconnecting everything could be a legitimate goal. Nonetheless, some people started to report about huge amounts of data and metadata being sent to Matrix central servers.
Curious that this claim is without source in the original.
I also have porblems with their claims about bridges. Bridges are Band-Aids to allow you to communicate with people not on Matrix, not a dark masterplan to build a central spionage hub.
By default, a homeserver trusts matrix.org in questions of federation and identity of other servers. You have to get that trust from somewhere. You are free to choose another source for that.
(For example, my homeserver isn’t federated at all, and has that trusted server removed; it doesn’t communicate with anyone. Also it’s not synapse, but that’s besides the point.)
Please beware that DNS over TLS is transport protection; the dns server itself of course still sees and knows everything.
How exactly does Free, non-open-source software prevent that?
Github, Lemmy, my blog.
I miss the Be Like Bill memes
Fühl ich, Bruder.
This is about as useful as the assholes going “It’s not Pedophilia, it’s Hebephilia!”.
Baby steps: I wish it was mandated that any software receiving even a penny in public funding must be open source down to the last byte.
You are probably half-joking, but… yeah.
I fucking hate this timeline. Actually, scratch that, that is way to placid and abstract.
I hate the assholes in charge. Fuck all of them. Luigi did nothing wrong.
My blood glucose monitor is not on the play store. So one dy next year I’ll wake up and no longer be able to get that data…?
Yeah! Because famously, labor cost is what the high US healthcare costs go towards!
