I really need these lore dumps for linux stuff because I will be highly confused at the names. Still can’t get over when I learned that GIMP is not just a perverted or derogatory name, but GNU Image Manipulation Program (and I had to look up what GNU meant too… which was named after a song about a gnu, aka wildebeest)
i do love the personality of FOSS naming, but please give me a short tidbit about the etymology in the about page, or else I’ll be forced to do an hour long Wikipedia deep dive because I simply can’t help myself!
Outright banning them from schools is wrong imo, but if I had to put my phone in a locked box every class, I would’ve lived. I just think banning them outright is bad for needing to contact parents, especially for kids like me who had after school activities often.
My only issue I had with HS teachers were the ones who bitched about people having headphones/earbuds in during class. Obviously I don’t have them in during instruction or group work as that would be disrespectful, but if you’re not at the front of the room talking and we’re doing individual work, I want to have my earbuds in. I had a study block teacher who was so fucking anal about phones and earbuds, when it is literally a fucking break class to do whatever the fuck you want/need to do.
I just really like having music or background noise while doing work.
