  • Helped somebody homeschool a kid in elementary school a decade ago, the system was pretty user friendly and only really needed a human adult to keep the kid on task and ensure breaks and such. Basically didn’t need to help at all.

    If the student is willing to learn, and knows to take breaks when they lose focus, I don’t see why an AI teacher wouldn’t be sufficient for 90% or more of the class-time… But a human teacher should still be reachable for occasional needs.

    Heck one actual teacher could probably manage thousands of students for most classes if AI and digital course systems are there to handle most guidance.

    There’s definitely still something to be said for in-person schooling… But it isn’t necessary for every class… I was bored as fuck in school for a handful of basic classes cause I had to wait for the ‘class’ to catch up before we moved on. I prefer online courses for anything that doesn’t require hands on guidance.


  • Does this mean epubs won’t stop and require a new page to load at the end of chapters / new file segments?

    It’s one of my biggest gripes switching from mobi single file ebooks to epub multi-file ebooks.

    Should just append the next file and allow the flow to continue.

    Been waiting for such a change for epub reading apps for many years.

    Update: OMG yes, it works! (Not by default, scroll mode must be opted-in first via 3-dot menu)

    Now I can maintain the same scroll while reading habits I do for online content, PDFs, and Mobi files while reading ePubs! Bout damn time!

    This is now my default ebook reader everywhere!





  • Girls do this shit too, and it’s not new.

    The general message to ‘be good to each other’ is very old, and has to be told often. The internet provides for a lot of anonymity and seperation from consequence, so allows for people to say shitty things without the moderation that’s more common in public and personal spaces.

    It’s not surprising at all that there is tons of men or women online talking shit about each other. What is surprising is that the platforms it happens on don’t just delete that crap as a rule. Many will let it fester and negatively effect the community because people interact with it, and interaction means ad hits.

    We need laws that make monetizing such content illegal, to encourage it’s quick removal.

    Just bitching about having to see it isn’t good enough.
