We use the education subset of Teams. It surely isn’t perfect, but it has many positive features.

Group calls with 30 people work just as good as individual calls, if not better.

You can manage groups into break-out rooms very easily.

There’s whiteboards, forms, polls and other integratable features for interactive communication with students.

The assignments mechanic is pretty decent in general. However, the rubrics very cumbersome to add.

The MsGraph backend is very extensive and let’s you create your own apps that can integrate with all the teams data. That makes it possible to automate a lot. Also MSAL is a tried and trusted authorization mechanism.

It also has a lot of downsides, like bugs, automatic updates that break features you were using, nobody listens to feature requests, shitty documentation, the environment is very big and you can easily get lost (we’ve had to make couple videos and documentation to explain it all to new students). But all in all it is pretty decent to work with.

Also people are idiots, or at least easily influenced. If you ask someone “you dreamt such and such, right?” They’ll be more likely to agree with you than when you ask “What did you dream?”

295 seems like a fair price

Yes, normal client computers. Just for simple document work. Inexcusable indeed

Same with YouTube, honestly.

Just talked to a woman from a company in the same holding as mine. They still run their computers on windows xp. They’re in health care and deal with sensitive, confidential patient data.

Gouden combo. Lekker ff dippen ook

Lekkah bakkie pleur

I never have that problem with Digital Ocean 😆

I miss maps. I still have the map of Skyrim and various GTAs on the wall in my old room at my parent’s

That’s not really how it works, mate. He’s still innocent until proven guilty.

After all, he’s not gay, black or an opponent of Trump.

Yes, because apparently you can purchase “social services” there

I assume you’ve made a typo and meant to say “the far left morally or materially equivalent to the far right”?

Well first of all, I appreciate this discussion. Second, maybe…?

I for sure can see the pendulum swing the other way. You’ve got a nazi regime now, we bring out the far left, defeat the nazis, the pendulumswings to the other side, but it swings to far and we suddenly find ourselves in a Stalinistic hellscape.

You can call me a liberal for that. I can see why you’d say that, but I disagree since that’s not where we’re at. In reality the left are the freedom fighters now. They’re the good guys. I’m not a realist though, I’m a dreamer. I failed to communicate that in my original post and that is where I fucked up

And thirdly… yeah I think lemmy.world people know you’re trying to insult them when you call them a liberal. I haven’t yet met a lemmy.world person who calls themselves a liberal. It’s like call a Mexican a “bean eater”. No Mexican calls themselves that. It’s only other people who call them that.

Yeah I see that now. I fucked it up by phrasing it the way I did. Not the first time that happened. Probably won’t be the last either.

There’s definitely a very big difference between the far left and the far right, in the sense that one side is the literal nazis and the other the freedom fighters. But there’s so much to it. So much dynamic, so much nuance, so much context. It’s a difficult topic. It’s nazis and not-nazis, sure, but there so much more.

What I meant was that both sides are doing extreme things. Things that shouldn’t belong in a world where I want my kids to grow up in. Not the entire big, complex issue. Just this one aspect. Easy, comprehensible, small.

Anyways, it was a dumb remark, shallow, objective, out of context. And I failed to frame it the way I meant it. Just… I’d delete it, but that’s not how the Internet works.

Yes. Imagine we meet at a train station or something and I say. “Hey, you look like a racist piece of shit, but we’re starting a campaign to end world hunger, would like to hear more about it?”.

Seems pretty unlikely you wanna hear me out more, right?

And we’re on Lemmy. I’m pretty sure " liberal" is a generally acknowledged insult here.

That tends to happen when you start namecalling. People stop hearing the things that you actually want to say because the name calling bears more weight.

No not at all, but I see what you mean. I forgot that you’re not allowed to discuss topics that do not conform the hivemind.

But I’ve kicked the bee’s nest now, so I’m the liberal today. It’s like when you’re in school and you say that you wonder what it’s like to kiss a boy and the rest of the week everyone calls you a faggot. Until some other dumb kid does something dumb and they forget about you.

I like to talk about the dark side, think about the dark side, find out what makes the dark side tick. I find comfort in the search for meaning. It’s not productive but other than apathy, that’s what helps me cope. That’s not how this platform works though and sometimes I forget that I should not post in news communities.

Great argument. Just call the other a liberal and now you’ve won the discussion. Congratulations
