       @fatboy It's probably more than that since a vast majority of Linux users probably block statcounters (I do), or send shit user agents (I do)

       @GotNothing @fatboy seeing ChromeOS being pushed on public schools - it’s pathetic.  My kids just leave the school issued computer to the side. My youngest uses a #Fedora based laptop and gets 💯 of his works done using 💯 compatible applications such as #libreoffice.We’ve moved around quite a bit and I’ve always talked to the district IT or school IT - why not Linux based school infrastructure?Killing me smalls…killing me…

       @jppelt @GotNothing @fatboy I work #education IT. We use a lot of #Linux in the backend. But for client machines, you have to use something supported. People will riot if its not a known quantity.As much as I would love to give every student a Linux device and have them work in Libre office, its just not going to happen. There is probably also the argument to be made that you need to give them the tools they're going to see in the future and at 3% share, they're simply not going to see Linux.

       @gnuplusmatt > There is probably also the argument to be made that you need to give them the tools they're going to see in the future and at 3% share, they're simply not going to see LinuxThe reverse is more causal. If they are only introduced to digital handcuffs at school, chances are that's all they know how to use as adults. The whole point of public education is to avoid such outcomes. Just asl the OER Foundation folks.@jppelt @GotNothing @fatboy @lightweight #EdTech

       @strypey @jppelt @GotNothing @fatboy @lightweight I'm not saying I agree with the argument, but when we've tried to push FOSS over commercial solutions, this is usually what we hear from faculty and parents.I hate with a passion things like "Microsoft Educator" programs or "Apple Lighthouse Schools". Because it is entirely that, locking in the next generation, "getting them while they're young". But most people are not interested in technology idealism, and it is a big road block

       @strypey @jppelt @GotNothing @fatboy @lightweight @gnuplusmatt Public education is a situation where I think FOSS should be mandated. Public money public code. They want my tax dollars then I get a say.

       @PublicLewdness @strypey @lightweight @jppelt @fatboy @GotNothing @gnuplusmatt Public education is a situation that should be abolished.
