EDIT: Apologies. Updated with a link to what gorhill REALLY said:

Manifest v2 uBO will not be automatically replaced by Manifest v3 uBOL[ight]. uBOL is too different from uBO for it to silently replace uBO – you will have to explicitly make a choice as to which extension should replace uBO according to your own prerogatives.

Ultimately whether uBOL is an acceptable alternative to uBO is up to you, it’s not a choice that will be made for you.

Will development of uBO continue? Yes, there are other browsers which are not deprecating Manifest v2, e.g. Firefox.

I mean, both can be true if we’re living in a cloud-based world.

Schools can provide workstations and households can either opt in to using their own computer at home or be assigned a laptop or laptop credit. Choice is the important part here, and limiting kids choices at the benefit of major oligarchy organizations sucks big floppy donkey dick.

Schools are not about choice, they’re about an even playing field. You cannot give students the kind of education you can give them on a per-classroom basis if they don’t all have access to the same technology. What if a parent chooses to not give the kid a laptop even though the kid doesn’t have a computer at home?

You don’t advocate for that for the same reason that you don’t advocate for parents to choose whether or not their kids get taught about evolution.

Why would that happen? What weird strawman scenario is this?

Who knows? Maybe because they don’t allow that demonic technology in their house. People are crazy. It doesn’t matter why. Assuming parents, given the choice, will make the correct choice for their child has been shown to be wrong again and again.

But let’s say all the kids with notebooks at home don’t get them and all the kids without notebooks at home get them. Ok. Now, the software we’re using for art class this year runs in Windows. Your kid has a Macbook.
