I believe the community had expressed a lot of valuable ideas here, so I will keep the post. But I am locking the thread because it's just not information given in good faith. That's not to say that the points are all wrong, these can be debated. And we did debate. But the infographic itself is border to being just propaganda against a distro that serves well to a lot of users (this is a fact! even if me or you think those users could be served better.)

This. (Offline too.)

Which generation did we really taught critical thinking to? In general, those "thinkers" or people with nice research skills (e.g. reading comprehension and other traits) were always a minority within each generation. And I agree there will be less now with AI. But we have no polls or measurement, so the title goes a little clickbaity, in resonance to the generalized discomfort towards a new technology that schools haven't accomodated yet (e.g. all kind of solutions are seen in the wild)

I reckon it was the same with arithmetislcs and calculators in the past. We were able to deal with that! (so that whatever proportion of people that graduates knowing arithmetics with each generation didn't shrink "too much".)

If we are considering possible scenarios, let's be optimistic too.

AI (discounting other problems like their ecological footprint) may not be that bad on our educational systems once we adjust...

Nah bro. They are joking as per the post. All these are lyrics in Hannah Montana songs!

Your bits are contamination. Go offline Steve, have a nice day.

Just an hour ago I heard EmiliaRoig.com talking on the EuropeansPodcast.com (minute 28) and she said something that at first sounded naïve to me. But in hindsight, it may be true.

She said that "times are changing for the better (i.e. referring to the last 10 years or more.) and what we are seeing nowadays is just a shout of despair to that, being done by right-wing extremists, and is loud."

I can recommend all that she said afterwards, be warned: talks fast ;p

It's difficult to know if this might just be a correlation to age of onset, plus the effect of new project or work. Maybe other graduates of similar careers (i.e. chemists going into big pharma) that doesn't go into PhD programmes would be a nice control. But there's no curve there.

Alas, I know academia is difficult. But I wouldn't dare drawing conclusions without a proper comparison.

The protocol is called DLNA

I can help. And I'd like the community to go for feddit.org instance since this one is bound to be hacked (no updates) sooner or later.

Syncthing because it's p2p/ local-first. Meaning it's robust to interruptions.

I don't want to undermine everyone's suggestions but I think they are failing to understand this is a kid, buying him a laptop and stuff is okay but doesn't motivate him to much.

Check for authors of books for kids. Invent with python is great, that was going to be my suggestion. But same author has plenty, like this one https://turtleappstore.com/book/ ... to echo someone who mentioned Minecraft (indeed, already marked a whole generation into computer science subject!). Good luck! Maybe you can even find something for you, like, how do we teach CS/ programming to kids? How come that moving the Logo turtle was alright for so many years, lol

Snikket.org is an xmmp server that bundles common extensions

I'm running searxng on docker locally, and set that as my search engine on Firefox. It's been awesome! I will probably start a blog and post instructions... Adding the custom search engine into about:config was kinda difficult. Other web browsers should be easier.. (e.g. Vivaldi)
