For students we do actually, except we put it on school districts and teachers to self enforce under penalty of being directly held liable for data breaches.

I work in school IT so I'm very familiar with the requirements (of my state anyway).

The system we have is fucked. Teachers (highly tech illiterate) have to use services that have signed our states privacy pledge, if they use a service that has not signed the pledge, and there is a data breach, they can be held directly liable.

The pledge states that the service shouldn't store any PII on students, but there is no way for the state to verify this. I know first had that every software we have has PII of students (names for example). I doubt these services are storing encrypted display names for example. However a common naming convention for accounts in schools is to use parts of the students name. No idea of these services would store encrypted usernames or emails either. Failure to "follow the rules" might see the corporation sued by the state but again, never legally tested. This was all born out of a multistate lawsuit against Google because they were caught scraping student email account contents for targeted ads when they said they didn't. In my district were moving forward with a new naming convention for students that is simply a random number to cut down on PII.

Anyway, the district is under no direct threat from the law, but does "require" it to list all the software they use. This requirement has no penalty for noncompliance.

None of this has been legally tested yet. The threat to teachers is high though (loss of license I think), so we try really hard to keep them informed and in compliance with the law.

This is an open source project that you can directly contribute too. Open an issue to start your discussion, create a fork and start implementing the design.

However, enshitification is a result of profit seeking due to the relationship between venture capital investment and the service being invested in. When the burn rate finds equilibrium with the investment rate the only recourse is to manipulate the service in favor of profit driven motivations.

The state the service exists in prior to this moment in its lifespan is one driven by user accumulation, and all its design and function is in service of that goal leading to a product grandly beholden to the demands of the users. This is what development looks like freed from the yoke of the profit motive. However, this user accumulation is always in preparation for the switch to profit seeking, as the larger your user base is the more profit you can potentially wring out of them.

It has nothing to do with "kids these days".

I see this posted from time to time and today I finally read through the whole thing. Very compelling and evocative. You see the manifestations of this form in those southern megachurches. Joel Osteen is like a simulacrum of this inversion of religion under the social relations of capital. He has synthesized Christian Faith and Capital Accumulation, creating in effect a Christianity skin suit for this "Real God", in which to parade it out into the open.

You must sacrifice a portion of your wages to the church in the form of a seed in the hopes that it will one day bloom into a bountiful harvest. It is a similar myth to the one expressed by the preachers of Capital. Sacrifice your time, your money, in service of a future return on your investment. In both, a lack of success is only the manifestation of a lack of sacrifice and commitment to this social order on your part, and in no way a failing of the "gods" for which you are toiling for.

Like a house of mirrors, our social institutions are reflected against the mirror of capitalism, warping their intended form against the shape of capitals demands. The longer you stare into this twisted reflection, the more likely you are to be convinced it to be the true form, until you can no longer recall what the original form was, or that it even existed at all.

Lol also, did that commenter cut a landlord? That comment was ice cold compared to most. If you can't handle that level of heat, then get out of the kitchen.

If your not, and are having financial issues, I feel you. We've been slammed with unexpected repairs this year, its hard.

If you want better tools someone has yo build them. Hit the keyboard and get building.

Nothing at all, but we both know that.

FACT CHECKED✅☑️✔️

Ableism was invented to destroy any leftist movement.

Rating: False

Explanation: Ableism is a form of discrimination and social prejudice against people with physical or mental disabilities. It is not a concept invented to destroy leftist movements. Ableism is rooted in societal attitudes and structures that devalue and marginalize people with disabilities, and it has historical and systemic dimensions that are not tied to the specific goal of undermining leftist movements. The origins and manifestations of ableism are complex and multifaceted, involving cultural, economic, and political factors that predate and transcend any particular ideological movement.

I had that issue. The trick I found is to pick a different option from the radial buttons and then select "reader" again. Don't do it too fast or it won't clear out.

No worries comrade!

Um have you ever considered that's because the CCP owns TikTok?!? Gods you Tankies will believe anything!!
