using unsupported software in October, 2026 is certainly a choice

i agree about phones being a terrible idea to allow in schools in (current year).

But also you know teachers are just going to say “no” to a student asking for a permissions slip. Some of my teachers were not lax about phone usage, and those tended to be the classes where I consistently forgot what homework was due. Partial exceptions are only partially useful.

I have/had ADHD and when they allowed phones/pdas with notes and reminder apps for the first time, i finally started remembering what was assigned for homework. paper planners simply didn’t work for me.

i have this problem. I use ddg sometimes to find wiki info, and if the piece of info is too new, ddg just gives me some clearly vibe-coded page with bogus information.

last week i waded through like 6 fake fields of Mistria wikis on the first page of ddg before giving up and finding the “official” ones on Google

yeah i’ll just vote to make myself illegal nbd
