How Linux made a school pandemic-ready
If you guys are interested in hearing the IT directors Ted talk from 2014 here it is https://youtu.be/f8Co37GO2Fc
There once was a school that ran Linux
"Not so!" cried so many cynics
Robert Maynard put Linux in
it made the cynics heads spin
so fast they ended up at the clinics
If you actually look up the school it is really cool. They literally give students full root access to there local machines and encourage learning. That is a bright contrast to the world of locked down Chromebooks and high surveillance
Oh man, I would have learned so much so fast by breaking stuff and having to fix it. It's how I learned what I know now, just later. This is fantastic
That's pretty cool yeah.
This just reminded me of a thing from my high school (many years ago). They had windows machines that were somewhat locked down, but I discovered a trivial way to bypass the restrictions on changing the desktop wallpaper. So naturally I set the background image to a screenshot of the desktop, and then hid all the actual icons.
On another timeline, the staff would have approached this with "Huh that's clever. You fooled us and we thought the computer was broken. Please don't do that, but also let's channel your creativity somewhere useful."
Instead I got a monologue about breaking things and was banned from the computer lab for a week. Soured me on school and such for a while.
