It does (via the dock and probably directly as well), so that would absolutely work!
Then it looks like a really terrible concert and then you notice it’s cotton.
I’m absolutely with you on the typing, the problem is (as far as I’m concerned) that learning typing takes a ton of time that I don’t want to spend just on that, so I’ll instead provide them with resources on how to improve typing skills if they want to.
I planned on letting them build cheap, old desktops in groups so they are not as afraid of opening their devices (I find this to teach a different relationship to your devices in general) and so they don’t inherently see computers as a black box.
Thank you for your recommendations!
Especially the "don’t be afraid to break and how to troubleshoot" part seem very important to me, I will definitely do that. Thank you!
Yeah, I will generally do a lot of "how to use the web correctly", from basic privacy stuff (no, you don’t have to have something to hide; why care; no, it’s not too late…), ad blocking, using search engines correctly, evaluating sources etc.
I will have to teach some explicit security consciousness as well, basic and maybe not so basic stuff, maybe even spice it up a notch and do an intro to opsec to interest people (probably not gonna fit for time reasons, but will do basic security in any case)?
Yeah, I will definitely start with scripting first, although I think Python scripting or similar is better for getting used to actual programming/loops and variables are just better and more intuitive than in scripting languages.
I actually only have programming on the list because I felt like I somehow needed to teach it, which is definitely true, but not at the very beginning.
You’re absolutely correct about the PATH thing, I think I should teach about how filesystems work in general (like, most people use devices that only have "apps" and have never used a file system/directory structure)
apart from ne not having that much money laying around a the moment I’m not a fan of people having to pay for their search engine, as I’m of the opinion that such a fundamental tool to use the web should remain free
Yeah, I’ve recently switched to SearXNG instances on some devices, definitely seem to be getting better results
As a (fellow?) Munich I’m also looking forward to it…
