@addressforbots@social.apcn.nz @cstross@wandering.shop @dryak@mstdn.science @whybird@aus.social this stuff really isn't obvious any more! My son is dysgraphic and uses a keyboard at school, and had to have a long discussion with a teacher explaining why he couldn't turn off his Internet connection while completing an assessment in Google Classroom. The teacher hadn't realised that he wasn't writing on his own device, and you know what? I don't blame them! How are you supposed to tell where things are anymore from within the 'user experience'?

@mavnn @cstross@wandering.shop @dryak@mstdn.science @whybird@aus.social it's kind of funny because when I was in high school it was still just barely in the era where a lot of stuff was run on prem when I was attending my high schools learning management system was run on a server physically located at the school (I was on good enough terms with the school's sysadmin to be able to get a look) when in some idiot put a backhoe through a fibre line down the street it kept working (after the schools it admin fixed DNS it's always DNS)
