I get the vaping ban, but banning smartphones is one of the stupidest bullshit I’ve ever heard. There’s an underfunded public education system, but no- the problem is clearly those damn smartphones. Fucking conservatives man…
I had mind numbingly boring classes when I was in school. Why were they boring in the first place? Cuz the curriculum was stupid/the teachers weren’t that good. The solutions to both problems are by increasing the education budget.
I also had teachers who were so amazing that noone was distracted. My point is, kids don’t use phones in classes for absolutely no reason. Kids do that cuz the classes are shite. Fix the classes and the kids won’t use their phones.
The kids aren’t okay with that. I’m sure that instead of staying quiet and messing with their phones, they’re now actively causing a disturbance in the class.
I know this because I went to both types of schools- where phones were banned and where they weren’t. Guess what- if ur class is shit, kids are going to find some distraction to kill the time. If phones are there, those would be the distraction. If phones aren’t there, then hooliganism, disturbing the class, taking the piss out of the teacher, etc. would be the distractions.
The problem isn’t the phones. The problem is boring classes, which are a result of a broken and underfunded education system.
But what about those damn phones? Kids surely aren’t using their phones cuz the classes r boring as shit due to a boring and underfunded education system. Now that we have taken their phones away, they surely won’t find some other distraction like bullying the teacher, fooling around with their peers and so on… They surely are going to be model students who always pay attention to the teacher and everything that is taught. /s
Then that’s a disorder that they need to be taught how to deal with. They won’t stop doing this when they get out of school, no? Isn’t school the best place to teach them how to deal with it? You know… Cuz it’s school… Where teaching is supposed to happen…
So, are schools expected to teach kids how to wipe their ass because they might have dumbfuck parents?
Yes. I know so many people who didn’t learn basic hygiene cuz their parents were dumbfucks. I was one of them. I didn’t know that u have to clean under ur foreskin. When my penis started to stink one day, I learnt about this. Another example is brushing ur teeth. I’m quite sure that u rinse ur mouth immediately after brushing, rinsing the toothpaste away. Did uk u were not supposed to do that? Fluorine in toothpaste requires time to act on ur enamel. Hence, while u should spit the toothpaste out, u shouldn’t rinse ur mouth always.
How many cases of dental cavities have occurred due to people not learning about this? Cases which could’ve easily been prevented by good education.
Are you seriously expecting the school to teach every fucking basic things of life because bad parenting is a thing?
Yes. It isn’t the kid’s fault for having shitty/no parents. It is however society’s fault if the kid has to suffer through the effects of shitty/no parents.
Start paying teacher like you pay doctor, lawyer, dentist or even construction workers and then we’ll talk.
So we do agree. Of course teachers are incredibly underpaid. Of course they need to be paid as much as doctors, engineers and so on.
Are we talking about the button phones? Did they have different audio formats cuz their speakers were crappy or something (hence, no use playing high resolution audio)? Did the custom ringtones then sound bad as well?
Old dumb phones could not play arbitrary audio… Well, aside from phone calls of course. Ringtones were a series of… Tones! Kinda like a midi file, ever heard of that?
Oh, was this because of limited processing power / slow secondary storage read speeds?
Extra fun fact, the original iPhone only had THE iphone ringtone, and you could not change it
NO WAY… Oof that must’ve been so annoying, no? Ur phone being a waking advertisement to everyone around you?

It seems like the FOSS community is continuing to grow, and FOSS apps keep getting better (Immich reallh blew my mind recently), which is a big win 😎 but there are still many apps I use that I would kill for an open source alternative.

Yea, lemmy is quite mean. I simply unsubscribed to the world news and politics communities. Now, my feed is just filled with cute posts like urs’. Whenever I want to see the talked about news story of the day, I just head on to “All” under “Active”.
OH ALSO! Try to block the tankie communities/servers. They’re the worst in this regard.
I’m gay, but I don’t really have much of an input in this. I’ve only had one therapist n she’s been amazing.
I just wanted to say thank you for being such a cool person. I so so wish the world had more people like you. I’m sure you’ll be a great therapist/councillor!!!
