I put the panic in bi panic

how to troubleshoot by yourself when you have a technical problem

what common file types are

some very basics on how to use ""developer tools"" on your computer (because i cant think of a better way to refer to them) like task manager and command prompt (and their mac equivalents, terminal and activity monitor ofc)

how to read and understand a privacy policy and what your personal data is, as well as what it being collected actually means and steps you can take to keep it private

how to understand terms of service (hey. if you have trouble with reading legalese and worry about being able to understand these policies anyways, here's a site that gives basic summaries of privacy policies and ToS)

what a cookie actually is

internet privacy and your digital footprint!! seriously i dont know why we stopped teaching people that they shouldnt be putting their entire real identity online in a world where your online actions can ruin you irl

basic safety measures like antivirus software (and why you should use it or if the built in one on windows or mac is enough for you) and backing up your computer (also a mac guide)

common keyboard shortcuts (and on mac)

as an additional note: things i think everyone should know on computers and the internet but schools may bit hesitant to teach about for whatever moral/legal standards schools pretend to operate on

vpns and adblockers! (btw for most of these where you can pay for things im purposefully not recommending any specific software but seriously just use ublock origin for an adblocker)

how to not get a virus while pirating something

what a temporary email is and when to use one

red flags that you shouldn't trust a website (and how to quickly check the security of a site)

Yes, we do, oh my god, we need the formal computer training and we actually even need the formal training on the damn mobile OSes the kids do not "naturally" know anywhere like what you think they know.

Like weakly tea together spilling about the colleagues and students.

The teachers meeting when they’d just glance at each other and KNOW they would talk about that later.

The two of them in the professor’s lounge room bullying Lockheart or making sarcastic comments at Umbridge.

Also them being incredibly competitive and making fun of each other every time their house loses or wins.

Repost if school has caused:

Source posts disappear all the time on tumblr.

But reblogs don't!

So I am begging tumblr/AO3 users:

If you want to link a tumblr post in one of your AO3 works, please first reblog the post to your own tumblr blog, and then link your reblog, instead of linking the source post directly. That way your AO3 the link will keep working, even if the OP deletes.
