Too bad the phrase fork bomb is already taken

Really, that thinking should be a last resort instead of the default.

It's ok to be vulnerable. It's ok to ask for help. It's ok to do or say nothing while you assess a situation as sometimes that is the best course of action.

It's only when you have no options left and you must act that you actually need to take action alone. One might actually need time to process a trauma, or experience grief. And I would argue that the ability to be vulnerable with others is it's own type of strength.

For instance, if you are noticing that you are getting depressed and are finding it hard to perform basic maintenance tasks for yourself. Instead of first trying to be strong and convince yourself to do it every time. Maybe it might be better to seek help for your depression.

Yeah needed it for my monitor. I didn't want to figure out USB passthrough so I just installed Windows on a > 50,000 powered on hours HDD and booted from that. Then once I was done I put it about as far away as I could from my PC.

This is pretty good. If you were to add the emulator to steam as a non steam game and then launch the game from steam, you can have a few additional options too.

Like making the unused bumpers (or any unused buttons that might be available on the controller) a modifier key when it's held down which could let you map the other dpad to the same dpad.

Or you could make it so that a double click on the dpad becomes a click for the other dpad.

Also if you use the steam version of retroarch to emulate the game via steam (which is free) then you will find community provided layouts for the N64 controller for pretty much all the modern controllers.

I am not a teacher and not part of the school system right now. Are schools no longer allowed to send kids to the principal's office? Or send a letter to their parents? Or issue detention? Or is it that none of those methods help? Is a teacher's only course of action to remind students to not look at their phones during class?

When I read the article and the teacher realized that as long as the students looking at their phones were quiet it was fine it really just seemed to me like that teacher failed. If a parent said that, I would also think they failed.

There have always been distractions in the classroom and unless we are talking about a diagnosis of addiction, smartphone uses shouldn't be treated differently.

Well that really wouldn't be utilizing containers correctly in that case. As really every noob friendly distro is about as capable. Like Manjaro comes pre-installed with steam and one can enable the Nvidia drivers by clicking the correct option in the settings to auto-detect the hardware and install any proprietary drivers.

I think the real benefit of this judging by the GitHub page is that you could never update the apps directly and instead just update the container image for every device you own so that they all work the same way. Which is a great concept but is not very noob friendly. Unless the method for pulling new containers is automated somehow.

It still seems like a similar disadvantages to using flat packs on hardware with less headroom but I could be wrong.

I only have only gaming PC, and the other devices in my house all serve discreet functions but they can still stream the games from my gaming PC. So I wouldn't want them to share the same os image. Ultimately this doesn't seem for me but I do like the implications.

That's a good point. However I would argue it really depends on the individual student. Just because a majority of students might do better with handwritten notes, doesn't mean we have to take away the ability for a student to type notes. That seems similar to forcing a left handed student to write with their right hand.

I personally feel that taking notes is a distraction to my own learning. And a retain more information if I just watch a lecture intently. I do record / use speech to text to make notes after the fact however.

But let's go with that idea that students should be taking notes in class. As if they were then they couldn't be distracted by a smartphone. So maybe a teacher could have a policy of just checking notes.

Perhaps better yet would be a policy of quizzing the students at the end of class? I guess that might depend on how much time is left in a lession though.

Heh, you're right. I misunderstood the meaning of why you posted that quote. Maybe you could add your intentions next time as quotes are often misunderstood and misrepresented. I have a similar issue.

What you don't understand you can make mean anything.

You are assuming that the only reason for a student to have a smartphone in class is to make a call.

Besides special needs students that may require their own set of regulations if laws are to be drafted. We are only considering what smartphones are currently capable of. What if in the future they are capable of things that are considered essential learning tools? If a law was passed to blanket ban specific devices or sweep up even more technology then it will be hard to revoke when required.

The school system already has all the tools it needs to deal with distractions in the classroom. The issue at hand seems to be more a systemic one than a technological one.

You are right. But proxmox and many of the other suggestions aren't vms either.

It's been a while since I checked out fedora atomic (and I didn't quite understand it then) is bazzite just a container for Linux games? Is that why it's called cross platform?

I wonder how well it performs on more limited hardware. I'd imagine it would be more performant to compile programs from source on hardware with less headroom.

It could be a compromise between performance and ease of use. But if someone is using fedora atomic wouldn't they need a decent amount of knowledge already?

I think it's still exciting and I hope it works well.
