Is there any online forum for tech where people talk about tech instead of pretending like their one-sided political team is THE answer to all of the worlds problems despite both "teams" proving they are incompetent?

If we spent half as much time thinking of what we could do as individuals instead of finger pointing, we wouldn't need government intervention at all.

It sounds crazy and there are some good points here regarding the difficulty of moving from SAP solutions to alternatives, but there is a lot going on and I agree that they are not as invincible as they pretend to be.

Customers are growing increasingly frustrated, the company has dipped its toe into political agendas and they regularly get lit up on Twitter as a result, and Bloomberg has targeted them due to questionable moral practices (most recently, silencing rape victims).

SAP is more concerned with protecting their reputation than actually developing quality software. Sooner or later that is going to catch up with them. They are constantly playing damage control. It's only a matter of time before more and more comes out (and there is plenty to come out).

I would take articles like this much more seriously if they were at least willing to CONSIDER the vaccine may be causing problems as well. Unfortunately, I do know several coworkers who had adverse reactions. They have to deal both with symptoms and essentially being blacklisted by everyone due to some political commitment.

We need to learn how to be people again.

The overall problem with climate talking points is that it has become a trendy political topic, which often deduces into a battle between two sides instead of a civil discussion on the scope of a potential threat and logical solutions.

I admittedly don't pay much attention to it since I live pretty minimally anyway. Though, I cannot tell you how many homes in my area have "Climate Action" signs in front of their unnecessarily large homes. One home in particular has one right next to a gas guzzling jeep.

It's sad that so many human issues have fallen into the political spectrum where they are weaponized for power rather than resolved for the common good.

I know today home schooling is often discussed as a political talking point, but I do have some experience with it and I can't say enough good about it. The main problem I have with public school is that you have 30ish kids in a single class room all learning the same way. Everyone is unique and kids learn in many different ways.

I had a kid in my family who did home schooling for a few years and it was basically a window of time to complete the material. You could structure your day in a traditional format where you spend so much time on a specific subject then move on or focus on a specific subject until you complete it.

The only challenge is ensuring that your kids still have social interaction. The kid in my family played sports and there were a lot of kids in his neighborhood so it worked out pretty good.

Not to mention, there are more options to pick from regarding each subject. I forget all of the options for Science, but one was "forensic science" which I thought was pretty cool.

My wife and I both work from home. I work in a spare room and she works from the living room. Our desks are separated by the spare room wall. For a long time, every time she got up from her chair my monitor would black out for about a second.

I think the issue is that she sits on a blanket, so when she gets up it generates static electricity. Though, she has a similar monitor and I actually have to monitors side by side. I'm not sure why just my monitor was blacking out. It also does that when I turn on a small fan under my monitor.
