I see you failed to learn nuance in your schooling.

The experience from 20 years ago is that all of these people instantly forgot everything they learned and complained that they were never taught it. I don't think you understand the problem here.

Considering I learned how to type from playing RuneScape, not from the 4 separate typing classes they put us through, I don't really think most students would learn tech literacy from public education if they teach I or not. Look at the people complaining that no one taught them how to do their taxes dispute the mathematics required do your taxes being taught to 100% of the US population before they enter high school. It's not the education system, kids don't care. The only fix is to kake the kids care, but if you just push them through regardless of their qualifications for the next classes, no one cares if they fail. People would benefit a lot from learning how video games retain players because it's exactly the same philosophy behind policies like no child left behind. They give out rewards to everyone regualrdless of performance or difficulty of content and people become complacent and comfortable. Unless you give incentive for progression, in this case probably the pressure of not going to the next grade with your peers, everyone will find a spot to spin their tires and do so until they run out of gas or the tire explodes. Meritocracies might not be perfect, but they're core to a proper education system.

I had a class in 2nd grade back in like 2002 that taught us about how to spot fake websites, what TLDs meant, and witch ones we could probably trust. One of the examples was a fake site made either as a joke or for these kinds of lectures about tree squids. It was photoshopped octopuses high up in a tree. As with everything in the education system, it's not that theyre not being taught these skills, the students are not interested in learning them. There are classes that taught me things that people who sat next to me in those classes denied beging taught.

The comments are why most people go there. It's the major differentiator from other social media platforms. Holding a conversation on Reddit is much clearer than any other site. If YouTube has comments like reddit it would be a very interesting change to a lot of content that goes on Reddit at the moment.

If that's true, the name is a paradox since the planet is named after the profits.

Okay, and then you get fined for violating your franchise contract that requires you use these machines.

A post getting removed because someone threatened legal action is not the same as using an image host that goes under because no one visits their site to see their ads to pay for hosting it or because they arbitrarily purged their content or changed their link format like imgur has. Unless Lemmy hosts it's own images it will be at risk of being purged like has happened many times over.

Samsung literally just had an SSD drama with their recent drives burning through write cycles and killing the drive.

Here's the real kicker. Most algorithms don't actually differentiate content based on words outside of flagging them to be removed or age restricted. On Twitter or facebook, censoring words has never done anything, but everyone was so convinced that it did, they invented this method of getting around censors that don't exist. I think it was cnet who just started removing old content so that Google would promote their newer content more, then a Google engineer come out and said that it's never filtered content based on how "fresh" the sites back catalog is. People though links in tweets would supreas the tweet until one of their devs said it was bunk too.

Turns out, people make shit up to make sense of what they don't understand. God will I guess lol.
