Privacy@lemmy.ml•Can my school spy on my desktop during an at-home quiz?
141·3 months agoThey had me install the Lockdown browser for at-home proctored exams. It’s a browser that won’t let you switch tasks or even open another program or tab. Idk if it would take screenshots without opening it though but then again all kinds of programs are running in Windows all the time.
Would they do that tho? I mean I don’t know if I’ve heard of someone getting penalized because the school was secretly taking screenshots.
Edit I just realized I sound way too paranoid but it’s an interesting question

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What are the most upbeat songs with kind of depressing lyrics?
3·3 months agoHappier - by Bastille and Marshmello. It might depend on the listener tho.
Aint it fun - Paramore
Honestly, i don’t like that a lot of radio music is so sad. I have to look to real oldies to find a happy song.

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Are you scared of AI becoming sentient? How do we ensure we never make one that is?
1·4 months agoA robot will never feel all the ways a human can. For example stress pains.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What's one thing your learned at college/university that blew your mind?
8·4 months agoSome religious people do.
I was a jehova witness an I believed science class was all wrong and that my job was to just get through it without believing it.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Why are most religious people so easy to manipulate? (serious)
2·4 months agoA lot of churches are cults. The Jehovah’s Witnesses put their religion before their own kids and shun them. They’ll pass on a blood transfusion for their religion. So yeah, mind control is a real thing.
I’m not Black but I have been around Black folks and i only recall them calling each other that in the 90’s. Maybe I just haven’t been around enough idk.
Rappers who used that word have been promoted in the past and new rap artists seem to follow their lead.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•How many of you use Lemmy and ONLY use Lemmy vs Reddit?
7·5 months agoIn a way, Reddit is helping me move to Lemmy permanently by not letting me post.
You can jog on the treadmill for 30 minutes and that way you don’t have to be out in the blistering sun.
I would hang out with myself and get a lot done. We’d code an app, make a podcast for antisocial people, and plant trees.
We’d agree to use the same encrypted messenger.
I’ve never been good at socializing and it just makes me exhausted.
How resilient I’ve proven to be. I feel like I’ve been held down all my life but I got a college degree and now I’m going back for another one. I owe a lot of it to new family members.

Linux@lemmy.ml•Debian: Are apps in Discover store all Flatpaks by default?
6·6 months agoOkay thanks. I’m thinking of sticking with deb packages also at the moment because a lot of apps on the flathub website say “Unverified”

Linux@lemmy.ml•I want to move out from Ubuntu and use something else.
1·6 months agoIf you’re seeking something simple to use where you may never need to open the terminal, I’d say ZorinOS(Lite).
You can also test out Debian if you don’t mind a bit of tinkering on the terminal. You’ll have to add yourself as a user to the sudoers list first thing but there are plenty of 2-second video tutorials on how.
For both distros, if you are searching for support, you’d search “on Ubuntu” and basically the same would apply.

Privacy@lemmy.ml•I'm very bad at convincing people to care about their privacy
1·6 months agoYeah the washing machine app is for the public laundromat. I tried it on GrapheneOS with everything enabled but it was lacking something that is only on stock Google Android. I haven’t tried it on a MicroG phone yet.

Privacy@lemmy.ml•I'm very bad at convincing people to care about their privacy
1·6 months agoI have friends who care about privacy but they need phones that can do Uber and washing machine apps. So I’m the only one i know with a private FOSS phone.
If i get the chance to retire then it will be of old age.

I think we used to switch to channel 3 to play video games and movies.
