I’m not Norwegian or in Norway and I’m definitely doing this - my kids know of the problems of social networking (including the latest TikTok court docs and what the execs say.)

Some friends say that’s over the top; I just say it is responsible, involved parenting. I value their mental health.

I get it, the gop/maga will try to cheat and steal their way to a victory. They have already laid the legal framework and put sycophants in key positions in battleground states. The only way we can respond is to make sure the victory is undeniable in favor of Harris.

Now, if you are in one of those battleground states, you can be an election worker, including a vote counter to help maintain normalcy and call out problems to the media immediately.

Honestly, I don’t know (having not been more involved in the past with the election process) what else we can do. Sorry.

Is there a lemmy version of r/votedem? There is a large linked spreadsheet with volunteer opportunities (phonebank, textbank, postcards, data entry, etc.) - especially needed in the (unfortunately) few critical states that can tip the balance one way or the other.

Thanks!

I bet the no-profit law really wrankles the school owners.

I wish that kind of sensibility would happen in America - but honestly I don’t see it happening anytime soon.

Honestly asking - how are the private schools funded? From the government? Assuming at the same level as the public schools?

Agreed - if I were evil, I would use this data to look for long periods of static/unchanging desktop screenshots to look for inactivity and employees lying about being there or away.

Honestly this is just an arms race. If the above happens (and if I can come up with that use case think about what will come up when someone actually smart thinks about it.)

The response? I’d make a tool that presses alt-tab every 15 seconds a random number of times - to both keep the computer alive and change the desktop view, maybe move the windows around a bit for variety. A usb rubber ducky would be perfect for this.

Well there’s nothing in the constitution that says we cannot kick them in the nads.

For the SCOTUS textualists: there is a rich history and tradition if kicking a*holes in the nads going back before this country was founded.

Am Gen-x

Am liberal

Easy as.

Oh man, that brought back some memories, thanks!

First joystick and then paddles.

Private equity will be the death of anything good.

Atari controller

We upgraded to a Wica controller (same thing as the Atari controller just with better parts so it didn’t break so easily.)
