Oklahoma schools head Ryan Walters: Teachers who won't teach Bible could lose license by AncientMariner in c/news@lemmy.world

What they failed to realise is teachers can have a unique ability to make kids hate a subject.

If you force them to do it, they can do it really badly without it being obvious.

I can imagine reading the Bible word for for in monotone from day 1 won't be a good experience.

Community move (lemmy.world)

Hi all,

Due to MineClone2 renaming, it is time to rename the community. One thing I thought long and hard about was whether the community remained here on Lemmy.world. Due to fact that some players may not be able to access it (for example if they're on a community that has been defederated from), it is best to move to another instance. lemm.ee has a sensible policy on this and is one of the big instances so is reliable.

So the new community will be based here:

!voxelibre@lemm.ee

https://lemm.ee/c/voxelibre

Thanks,

AncientMariner

Good luck finding doctors bold enough to admit they have no idea and need help...

Shout out to the guys who did the awesome Minecraft art (not us). It was only appropriate as a FOSS Minecraft clone, to join as neighbours :).

YSK: GrapheneOS - private & secure mobile operating system with Android app compatibility. Developed as a non-profit open source project. (lemmy.world)

Why YSK GrapheneOS is a step above the rest. I understand it's ironic de-google phone/tablet with google hardware, but it just works better then anything else. Permission toggles, pin scrambling, auto-reboot, scopes, MAC randomization, isolated user profiles, longer passwords, sandboxed apps, open source firmware, no bloat & the battery life is incredible now.

I hope people understand how easy it is to move to Linux & GrapheneOS full time & remove Apple, Google, Microsoft etc. It exceeded expectations so much so that I want to share it with other people. I cannot recommend this enough to improve your life. #FOSS

Saw this, and thought it was a rather interesting comments section. Seems like an active discreditation campaign going on. Focussing on past maintainer and the fact it doesn't work with 2 questionable bits of functionality (Google pay + Auto). Why would I want either in a privacy phone?

Hi all. Wanted to announce our new release on Lemmy before that other place even if it's just a few minutes before :).

Survive, farm, build, explore, play with friends, and do much more. Inspired by a well known block game, pushing beyond.

How to play:

Download Minetest

Install MineClone2 from ContentDB

  • Click "Browse Online Content" and filter by Games (select "Games" from the dropdown box)
  • Find "MineClone2" (should be first on the list or on the first page)
  • Click the [+] button next to MineClone2 and wait for download to finish
  • Click "Back to Main Menu"

Create new world and play

  • Click "Start Game" tab
  • At the bottom click the MineClone2 icon (the 2 dirt with grass blocks)
  • Click "New", give your world a name
  • You can leave seed blank or put in a word of your choice
  • Select your new world
  • Click "Play Game" and enjoy!

You mean following a legal order that any company would have to do?

Or the technology could just share the information it needs to share and not everything and anonymise the data ;).

Not post, upvote. I find it interesting that you like Asian Babes (obviously you don't, it's just some information you wouldn't expect to be public or shared).

So no known user will ever have a desire to join. Malicious actors will dig out their votes and expose it publicly. Could be massively damaging. You cannot do that with other social media. Obviously those companies have that information, but they do not share it.

So when Threads decides to federate, they can slurp all this information.

That would be massively concerning and that should be blocked. Ideally votes should remain only on the current instance. Anything shared with other instances should be anonymised. This would need to be re-architected imho.

People come here to get away from Reddit now that trust has gone. Trust and a feeling of safety is vitally important to continue to build this platform.

So if Threads federates to this. It slurps everything. That is very concerning. Most are trying to get away from big tech for privacy reasons.

There is no good reason to share who upvotes a post to another instance. It should be anonymous to anyone other than the original instance.
