Chromebooks foisted on students? Teachers monitoring what children do outside of the classroom via nonfree software? Surveillance of children is common, and it's at your child's school, too. Support #FreeSoftware https://u.fsf.org/32h
@Gelatinousrube Also putting a pull handle and wheels on gigantic cases doesn't make it cabin baggage. If a flight is even slightly full it runs out of overhead space because people seem to need to bring half their house with them but don't want to check it. This causes frustration and delay. They used to be very firm on this, but have given up because everyone does it.
Although I did enjoy the tinting windows on the 787. They replicate night time on a long daylight flight (going West transatlantic) it is nice for napping.
@aral I never once thought about the fedi (even in the gnu social days) like "I wish this thing would do half a billion users with no issues." That kind of thinking is growth obsession dressed as an attractive engineering challenge.
The TSA has essentially failed in it's madnate and appears unable to manage. For such an expensive agency that is a puzzler...
@aral This is a bit of a disease in tech. The obsession with scaling and solutionising every damn thing.
@claudiom It was not a great day.
@claudiom I will never forget finding my wallet while holding my phone having just called the banks to cancel all the cards.
@claudiom Like clockwork
