You should read Catch 22

Don’t get too excited. They’re just doing it so it doesn’t get in the way of the Ai they’ll be putting on there.

My answer was more for those stuck on that screen without a second computer to grab another iso on.

When it asks you for an email use “no@email.com” and use a random string of characters for the password. Congrats, you can now use a local account on setup.

And that’s the real answer for how to handle phones in schools. Someone else said leave it home but I’m a single parent of a special needs child, he’s taking his phone to school and the school can eat my ass if they don’t like it. Never had a problem.

Lol

Parents tend to care significantly less about a $20 toy than a $700+ smartphone.

You can save just about anything in bitwarden. I’m not 100% it will autofill addresses, as in you don’t have to click anything, however you can safe addresses and when you need it you can tell bitwarden to fill it in. I have all autofills turned off but my credit card info, billing, and shipping get filled in with a click.

They announced that all Instagram users had a shadow account. I can’t remember if they were saying it was a mistake or not but it did happen.

if I take out a mortgage for a property before I buy it and I destroy the house; the bank still comes after me for the value.

There’s a type of insurance for everything.

I used it as an example because they’re both owned by meta and make similar promises on privacy and encryption.

You’re absolutely right, there’s no privacy online. But there are significantly better alternatives that offer end to end encryption and sometimes digital communication is required.

A teen in Nebraska was sentenced to 3 months in jail because Facebook turned over her “private” messages but sure, no real life problems with trusting meta with your “encrypted” messages.

I use bitwarden for that

I think it depends on the mobile device you use. I’ve read that proton is better on iPhone and bitwarden doesn’t integrate that well with it but it’s seamless on android. I also haven’t had any issues with bitwarden and Firefox and they’ve been my combo since I started using bitwarden a couple years ago. I haven’t given proton pass a full on try yet though and I pay both companies for their awesome services so I’m a bit of a shill for both. I don’t think you can make a bad choice here.

If blocking a website on government devices/networks is a violation of free speech why are you just now sounding the alarm? Why didn’t you sound the alarm when I wasn’t allowed to browse reddit on my government laptop? The government blocking access on personal devices/networks is a violation, blocking access on government networks/devices is business as usual.

For not being a US citizen you have a better grasp on our free speech laws than the professors suing Texas. First I want to state fuck Greg Abbott. Now with that being said, it’s not a violation of free speech for the government to block a website on government devices/networks. There are already a huge number of websites that are blocked. I can understand the arguments against doing it but it’s not a violation of free speech just because they don’t block Facebook too.

So an American school doesn’t block an American website that American intelligence agencies have access to and you’re wondering why they wouldn’t allow a Chinese website that Chinese intelligence agencies probably have access to? I completely agree that Meta and Twitter and all that are horrible for security but it’s still relevant who houses that data. I choose not to use any of them but it’s completely understandable why a country would hesitate to trust a foreign nation we have no relevant triety with.

M8 one more time: it is not about stopping students from using tiktok, it is about preventing tiktok from being accessed on the school network. No one cares if you turn off wifi and go on tiktok, that is literally what they want you to do if you wish to access it.

No one is talking about culture but you.
