linux is freedom. no ads, no tracking, just your computer doing what you want it to do. it’s not just for developers—anyone can try it. pick a distro, dive in, and see how it feels. .

the reason i encourage people to use linux is because it teaches you to tinker. you do not have to settle for what you are given. you learn, explore, and make things your own. that is the idea.

simply put, it's a site to record birds that you see, you can create checklists where you add the bird species, how many, their photos, audio clips, etc. It is one of the most successful citizen science projects, and the data that is generated through people's contributions on this helps monitor bird populations across the globe.

We'll visit a birding hotspot, and maybe then I can tell you more about it.

regardless of the point i'm trying to make, does anyone here think there will be domains in the software world that will remain free from the ai hype train—where no one integrates ai, and they're just as good as they are? are we forcefully integrating ai into everything?

...

dhanashree »
@dhanashree@linuxusers.in

@dharmik@linuxusers.in AI will likely be integrated into many software domains due to its potential to improve efficiency, personalization, and automation. However, not every domain will benefit from it. In some areas, traditional methods might still be more effective, and there could be cases where AI is overhyped or unnecessarily forced into solutions where it doesn't add significant value.

to the users of linuxusers.in [SENSITIVE CONTENT]i’ve already told you that you can style your profile however you like. there are a lot of cool styles available at https://codeberg.org/voron/snac-style.

if you want to create your own style, i’ve also provided some html to help you preview the css. once you’re done, you can dm me here or send it to me another way.

the example uses internal css unless you link it to an external css file called styles.css. here's the link: https://gist.github.com/dhrm1k/210e0b5b755435f15b72eb5c8657fb5d

Last year I insisted my CS students stop using replit & learn to run their projects in python, java on their computers. They HATED it. I felt old fashioned, didactic. "This is just a company trying to get you hooked on their service, you all know how they throttle your virtual machines just to get you to sign up? That's a bad sign."

This year a couple of them thanked me for doing this in the hall the other day. "You were right, Mrs. Futurebird*"

I coud cry for joy.

Along these same lines... I enjoy trinket.io/ for teaching python with my 5th graders, but I would love to have an application on their machine where they could run code. If they had Macs that'd obviously be Thonny which is excellent. Today I will start trying to find out how to do this with locked down middleschool chromebooks.

I will learn to love the the cromebooks. I must. Otherwise this simply won't work.

I will try this first probably. I know this is going to be a trial and error process and am hoping someone has been in my boat before so I can save some time and not have to half way learn like six different applications looking for the right one.

I know IDLE for mac. I wonder if they have python in their system by default or will I need to have IT add that to all the machines too?

IT is going to start hating me.
