Public schools don't fail int he same way that private ones do. They can't, because they aren't businesses.

It's really sad to have to explain, over and over, that operating public services as for-profit businesses - or worse, replacing public services with for-profit businesses - is literally the whole reason shit is falling apart. The peak of American civilization also had the highest tax rates for the wealthy and the most extensive and functional public services. That was not a coincidence.

This. Young single people renting who can just up and go anytime really have no idea what it's like to be responsible for a family and have a mortgage.

Will usually get you to the Linux console login from an X session screen locked or not (unless its been disabled in the X config). Obviously you need to know a login but even so, the lock is hardly bulletproof. No idea what wayland does, probably screen locking is another optional extra that needs to be implemented by the user or something.

> I can tell that you have no idea what you're talking about because the vast majority of public K-12 school funding is through local taxes, not federal funding.

About 13% of public schools are funded federally. You say "the vast majority" as if to handwave 13% of their funding as unsubstantial. Most importantly, this funding goes to schools that do not have the local tax revenue to fully support them.

> The federal government has almost no control over it so they can't cut funding

The federal Dept. of Education plays a key role in ensuring equitable access to education. You know how they exert control over local schools? By creating and enforcing (or NOT enforcing) policies, because their job is ultimately to implement and enforce laws created by Congress that apply to public education.

> There are also many states that have charter schools that perform better for less money than the public schools, so it's not a money problem.

Charter schools have an abysmal reputation; approximately 1 in 4 charter schools end up out of business within 5 years, leaving their students in the lurch and those who paid for it with empty wallets.

It's just a scam to funnel public money into private hands and push indoctrination. Look at all the enshittification that's happened and is currently happening in the name of chasing profits - we cannot afford that in education, financially or culturally.

Could be way too many logs on multiple servers, some possibly in-memory rather than file based that they'd have to know about in order to wipe all trace of their activities. Or at least thats how a proper service provider would implement things, but then this is MS after all.

"It should also dispense chilled water and ice"

Seriously? Must be an american thing. Has about the same importance as smart tech in a fridge for me.

... in the bin of history of brands that used to be superior but stupid/greedy CEOs thought cutting costs and hence device reliability was the way forward not realising that market segment was already oversubscribed.

My bog standard normal fridge already does. If the temp goes above a certain level a buzzer goes off, no AI, crypto or internet connection required.

That really the best you can do? Have another go.

So basically he hasn't been despite that load of ChatGPT generated crap you cut and pasted. He may be many things but if he was a racist I very much doubt he'd have appointed a VP with an indian wife. Go ponder on that sonny.

... content youtube pisses all over TV whether broadcast or streaming. OTOH I wouldn't trust a much of the clickbait "news" on youtube if my life depended on it and as for dramas - forget it. Also quality != quantity and so long as new dramas are commissioned then TV still has life in it yet.

"All the racist things he says and does."

Such as what? Give a specific example.

"many people in China think he is a racist"

Evidence? And hey, lets not worry about the proven genocide that china has carried out against the Uyghurs in the last 2 decades, that doesn't fit the juvenile Da West Is Eeeeevil narrative does it.

... but economically capitalist.

Any country would do the same if they had the ability to do it and China do. Not only will they catch up and surpase Nvidia and PDQ if recent events are anything to go buy , but the money that would otherwise have gone to NVidia will remain in the chinese economy.

"that Trump, a racist"

Your evidence is?

Could this mean that various ice moons and planets could have magnetic fields? Also both the ice giants uranus and neptune have them and the latters is particularly strong.
