muffaSweden goes back to basics, swapping screens for books in the classroom
"the decision to reinvest in physical textbooks and reduce the emphasis on digital devices was prompted by several factors, including questions around whether the digitalization of classrooms had been evidence-based. There was also a broader cultural reassessment. Sweden had positioned itself as a frontrunner in digital education, but over time concerns emerged about screen time, distraction, reduced deep reading, and the erosion of foundational skills such as sustained attention and handwriting.”"

Pavel A. Samsonov"AI is writing 90% of our code" sounds impressive before you realize that AI-generated code is orders of magnitude more verbose & less efficient than code written by a professional software engineer.
But "we ship 9 lines of fluff for each line of code that does something" doesn't sound as impressive.
Simon B. StøvringThe internet has changed. Not for the better.
A big part of it used to be linking between sites. Ideas and information connected. Now the biggest platforms downrank anything that sends you away.
Headlines used to inform. Now they’re just clickbait.
It used to feel like a place for human creativity and shared knowledge. Now it’s increasingly just computer generated content.
Feels like we’ve engineered ourselves into a corner where the internet is no longer the information hub we need.

Charlie StrossAbout trans rights:
They're a wedge issue. If you think it's okay to deprive trans people of the right to exist in the public sphere then you're saying human rights are conditional and/or can be withdrawn. Which puts you on a slippery slope to no human rights for anyone.
When you trace the roots of the modern anti-trans movement they boil down to some combination of bigotry and billionaire bullshit— the oligarchs think rights are for the rich.
So: trans-rights are human rights. No exceptions.
