Your mom told me last night that she wishes you would call her more.

Trump wants a war though. It's how he intends to stay in power. He either becomes a god emperor or takes the country down with him.

No they don't. But young men aged 15-25 will watch propaganda if there's an attractive woman in the video.

Worth to you is different than worth to the market of buyers. Clearly people feel it is worth more than what they are buying it at because they are buying it quickly without negotiation having anticipated a higher price. The highest bidder determines what a commodity is worth.

There's another thing that frustrates me about Linux and its various philosophies. Should I be allowed to do what I want with my software? Or should the machine protect me from myself? It seems at conflict with itself to allow you to do stuff like delete system files without much more than a warning while also having protections in place as you describe. Windows tried doing this exact thing with S Mode and people get pissed about windows not allowing them to do whatever they want.

I fundamentally disagree that users should not be allowed to install whatever they want from wherever they want.

Preface: I am a Linux user

The Linux desktop needs to not require users to dig through config files to enable features that both windows and Mac have working by default. Fingerprint sensors, audio interfaces, broken bootloaders that you have to fix yourself. Requiring people to ever use a command line even once will keep people on Windows as the dominant platform.

Every time I have to look at a Linux forum to figure out why something isn't working and the answers are run these commands I am instantly reminded that this is the exact thing keeping Windows mainstream.

Driver support still isn't perfect. Software support as well. Linux needs to ship out of the box running exe files in compatibility layers. Linux needs to adopt executable installers for software packages that can be downloaded on the web. If Linux wants to be the way people use computers, Linux needs to fit the mould that windows has built for the people who have used it for the last 40 years.

Doing anything differently is enough of a deterrent for 90% of computer users. And of those 90%, 75% of them will give up immediately trying to fix anything that doesn't work and either call someone else or decide it's broken and do nothing.

Linux is incredibly powerful and I believe it should be the way we run computers, but I get exactly why it isn't.

Without knowing the entire context of this individual's life, I could come up with a few things that the school could have done. I'm certain there are many many more things that could have been done that just weren't. The school could have a vested interest in students' interactions with each other through observation in classrooms and through faculty watching over them between class time. A school can and should be a place the students feel comfortable going to when other students are bullying them. A school can and should separate students who are unable to get along. A school can and should properly redirect antagonizing individuals and alert parents of negative interactions at some point.

Maybe the school is actively doing all of the things above and this is still the end result. That does not change the fact that the school failed to protect the children in their charge.

I'm not blaming any one person. I'm blaming the system that failed her.

Maybe if that were a job you could make a living off of. I think I'll just keep my job though haha.

You can absolutely identify someone failing to do their job without fully understanding how to do said job. You know a bad doctor when you see one just as you know a bad cashier. I'm not a professional educator nor am I a child care professional. But I can absolutely tell when the people we trust to watch and teach our children every day, fail to do so.

That's not a question for me to answer. It is, in fact, the school faculty's duty to educate our school children as well as protect them. It is up to them to determine how to do that. It is also true that they failed her in this instance. There are preventative measures that schools can take to stop bullying both on campus and online. Every time a student is bullied into taking their own drastic measures has been failed by the system. In this case, doubly so as on top of her being bullied into retaliation, she was punished by the system for being failed by the system.

Yes deep fakes have been reclassified in many US states and much of the EU as revenge porn. Most countries have also classified any sexually explicit depiction of a minor as CSAM or as most people refer to it, child porn.
