Google to schools: We'll turn off AI by default, but that also means turning off Search.
If school IT admins are smart: DuckDuckGo.com or Qwant.com or any of a dozen other search engines.
Google can pound sand if they're going to not even try hiding that they are being evil.
Anyway, PSA to no one in particular: sewing is an extremely, extremely useful skill to have, of PHENOMENAL usefulness, and it's a shame it's not respected as such (at least, not in the US -- and based on the extremely low value placed in sewing worldwide, probably a global thing). So glad the many folks here have pointed me in the right direction on this. And it's also a shame it's been pretty gender-role limited. (at least for me, a straight male...) I highly recommend everyone and anyone at least learn the basics (repair and some modifications), but if you're into math/puzzles/3d modeling/etc. it is a natural fit to go well beyond that.

Sewing is not respected because is was traditional considered woman's work. Except if a man did it, then he was called a tailor.
Cooking is not respected because is was considered woman's work. Except if a man did it, then he was called a chef.
See how that works?
Also immigrants who could not speak the new language well could still sew, fit and repair; sinking the skill further into disrespect.
It baffles me why #keychron would ship the original with non-shine through #keycaps when all of the switches are RGB. Any way new 'comic' keycaps

I really hope someone will read my reply but I'm sure they can't afford to care what people think, it's just not economical!
"Patriarchy demands that men remain invulnerable, tying their entire self-worth to dominance, a cage built historically by men themselves. Meanwhile, neoliberal capitalism reduces human value to market output, telling young men that loneliness or financial strain are simply personal failures of the ‘grind.’ Instead of questioning system that demands endless productivity while starving them of connection, manosphere repackages those exact toxic expectations as a ‘cure’."

When I first saw the Microsoft commercial I waited to see if it was maybe a very well-funded parody. I still think it is — but unintentionally.
Glad someone broke it down so well.
