I heard golden carrots are the best at that, which you can get from the farmer for the low price of 1-2 emeralds.

Our university has already adapted. We get little homework now, but have to write (very) short mini-tests at the beginning of each lesson. They typically take up 5-10 minutes and contain 1-2 questions which you can easily answer if you understand the course materials.

schools are extremely useful for the economy because in the last 200 years, contributing to economy was much more efficient if the kids got some education. That is why the education was often revolving around practical skills such as math, reading comprehension or natural sciences.

Luanti is the better option IMHO because it’s FOSS and therefore more ethical.

I think journalists too often have way too little education and way often than not they have no idea what they’re talking about. The quality of news is often low. We need better journalism. I was thinking about exactly that just yesterday, by chance.

Why would you want to not use Android? Can’t you just de-google your android if that’s your concern? Android is made for mobile devices.

IIRC you can do exactly that with the Nintendo Switch (carry it around like a handheld until you plug it into the TV and it becomes a stationary console), though i’ve never had a Switch myself so i don’t know for sure.

While interesting, that’s not really news.

I have been running bash linux commands on my android device back in 2016 via Termux. it worked perfectly fine back then already, you could apt install applications and python3 your script.

The problem is with other things. Android is dedicated to being actually usable on touch-screen devices. Installing desktop apps on Android would un-do that effect, so i guess it wouldn’t make a lot of sense.

as a german, could you point me to further resources?

The question is: how long will it take for self-replicating AI to take over the economy, and therefore control our lives?

Imagining planning for decades into the future at all.

Is linux a game?

Is real life a game??

how?

I respect your opinion, but I see it differently.

Paying for entertainment and content like well-made animations makes sense to me. After all, paying for content is some kind of democratic participation, choosing what is produced. I didn’t mind pirating a lot when I was younger and didn’t have the money to pay for something anyways, but now i prefer to do things “the right way”.

yeah just like with mounting EFI vars on linux…

it should be possible because “root can do anything, really”, but also, it’s dangerous and should be disabled by default.

Now if Google could explain why toggling wifi through Tasker requires root, I would LOVE to hear the reasoning…

tbf all hardware-functions require root permission by default.

Linux does the same thing. If you want to access /dev/sda, it requires root.

I could guess one of the ways it could interfere with security is that it would probably also allow the app to disable WiFi. If the app does that, it could incur costs as now data is being transmitted over mobile connectivity. Also, it would maybe allow the app to find your mobile-IP address, which could be used to geotrack you. But i don’t know, i’m just talking out of my ass here.

tbh the security settings on desktop devices tend to be more lax in general; for example almost any desktop pc has an open bootloader, means you can sideload an operating system from usb. The consequence is that no password-at-login will protect your private data; only full disk encryption can.

Smartphones on the other hand often have a fully-locked bootloader, which means it’s totally non-trivial to install an alternative operating system. especially, it often contains wiping any data on the smartphone, so an attacker with access to the device can’t simply install their own OS and read the internal storage.

you can bypass this with a rootkit

i think they do it for security reasons. if you can take screenshots of sensitive data, so can malware. however, you should be able to disable it for netflix for example.
