    Welcome fellow codger. Back in my day we had books made from real paper and we loved in. Handing in an assignment meant writing by hand in actual paper and physically handing it to the teacher.

    Everything is online. My kids have had very few physical textbooks in years. “Writing a paper” means typing into a n online document. “Handing in” an assignment means dropping some sort of file into an online folder. It’s not really a matter of learning anything, but that school resources are all online and every student needs access.

    Also the online services are all “free”. Yeah they might be exploited by advertising but no kid pays and no kid is locked into a commercial vendor (Google at least doesn’t charge)

    There are some autonomous cars with lidar out there where the lidar is so powerful it can wreck a camera close up, but is still safe for eyes. Switch up FaceID to use a more powerful laser which will wreck the phones camera, and start making webcams for non macs that are required to have this in them for Teams to work.

    It's always the people that fear for their assets that want things to stay the same.

    Probably, and I'll denounce and blame them for this just the same. My moral compass is that copyright shouldn't exist to begin with. Cool but that issue is not in play here. That is not even close to a mainstream position and none of the actual players in this are working towards that outcome. Taking one side of this on that basis is silly.

    So you are against having machines do the work of blue collar workers? We should all be out in the fields with plows instead of using a tractor and assembling everything by hand in factories?

    Which is the problem. ICE would not be able to legally subpoena these companies for our data, so they buy it from them as a loophole. Using our tax dollars, of course.

    Which customrom [...] are you using? Stock (for now), but rooted and modded slightly because I'm a firm proponent of owning the device for which I paid a shitload of money. Which [...] dnsblocking are you using? I use hosts-based adblocking via AdAway (from F-Droid). Root required. Not the reason I rooted, but a nice benefit to having full and complete control of MY device.
