How do you handle family requests that you disagree with?
I don't have this problem exactly, but what I would recommend is putting it in a specific separate library. You could even set it up so only your mother's account can access it, and you never have to see it, or you could have it visible but never go to it.

“AI toothbrushes” are coming for your teeth—and your data
One of the rare cases where this is a serious option: just don't buy it. People say that for phones that spy on you, but that's ridiculous because that is quite hard for some people. This is not. Use a regular toothbrush. Duck tape a vibrator motor to the handle if you really feel like that helps. You don't need the ai, and it is unlikely that you will only ever be able to buy ai toothbrushes.

Everyone Is Cheating Their Way Through College
I feel like one of the more important things to take away from this is the wildly different degrees to which various students use ai. Yes, 90% may use it, but there is a huge difference between "check following paper for grammar errors: ..." and "write me a paper on the ethics of generative AI," though an argument could be made that both are cheating. But there are things like "explain Taylor series to me in an intuitive way." Like someone else here pointed out, a 1-2 minute conversation would be a very easy way for professors to find people who cheated. There seems to be a more common view (I see it a LOT on Lemmy) that all AI is completely evil and anything with a neural network is made by Satan. Nuance exists.

This community's stance on physical media ownership?
A lot of physical media has DRM. I am for anything that can't be taken away, whether it is a torrented file, a DRM-free stream, or a DRM-free physical copy.

School Spyware

Actually I can install things on it and only installed a better browser and office suite. I would simply prefer not to be spied on at school, and I don’t think that that is unreasonable.

Why does it seem when people quit smoking years later they get lung cancer or some sorts of cancer? Like alcoholic's quit drinking and usually die of something they'd die of while drinking?
The effect is cumulative, you'll do better if you quit than if you don't, but some damage has been done. It's a "the best time to plant a tree was 30 years ago, the second best time is today" situation.

People doing the 30 days linux Challenge are having several problems because of Mint's old packages and technology. Why people still recommend it when there is Fedora and Opensuse with KDE and Gnome?

I don't have anything to hide, so I don't care
Ask to watch them pee. When they say no, ask what they do when they pee that they don't want you to know about; that is the only reason they could want privacy, right?

Any suggestions to find LTT content that are Floatplane Exclusive?
I don't know, but I also don't think you should. They are one of the few reasonably ethical platforms so unless you truly can't afford it or have an ethical reason I don't know of I would pay. They do occasionally promote proprietary software but are still far more ethical than any other platform.

As far as I know it wouldn't, but Kamala is VP, so if he resigned she would be the 47th president for the remainder of Biden's term. The joke is that the trump merch says 47 but now it would technically be 48 and they'd have to make new stuff.

I kept it up for more than a year. By friends I mean like 3 people I know in real fucking life, and I made them all set secure passwords. Way to assume the worst about people, it is a very healthy attitude to have.
