  • You’re talking as if there weren’t pedagogic professionals who have solved this problem. If a child is that unwilling to conform even slightly, the child either has special needs and doesn’t belong there, or, more likely, there’s shit going down at the child’s home and CPS need to get involved.

    I’m thoroughly baffled that you think there’s any kind of argument to be made for corporeal punishment. The scientific world has solved and moved on a century ago. The backwater sticklers who still don’t get it are harmful Luddites, not people with opinions to take seriously.










  • You can update the whole base image. Vanilla OS and SteamOS have an A/B partition that holds the currently-in-use image and can also hold a to-be-used image.

    Updating works by adding the to-be-used image, setting a configuration option that tells the system to boot that one, and on the next boot it’ll check if the new one is bootable, then either boot it and mark it as working, or boot into the old one and display an error about how out wasn’t able to boot into the new one.

    There’s smart things going on like maybe hard linking files that didn’t change between the two images and therefore saving space and copying time.

    The result is that you never have a broken system, but you can still frequently update the base image.
