The hospitals position is clearly ridiculous. To say there is no evidence staff were responsible is nonsense and them trying to not admit liability. But one of the men has the bracelet that has the wrong name on it and someone put that on him.
This is a fluff article but about a well signposted issue in education: tech in schools may be pushing education backwards.
Many countries have embraced tech in schools - such as laptops for students - and big tech companies in the US have been enthusiastic about getting their tech in front of young people as they will be the consumers of the future. But despite the billions spent it seems to actually be damaging education.
There are educationalists pushing for tech to be taken out of schools and go back to methods that actually do produce consistently good results.
It’s kind of a straw-man argument as no one is forcing anyone to use Linux. But using cross platform FOSS to avoid lock-in IS a good idea, and it does make transitioning to Linux easier (or indeed many other OSs - FOSS or not).
But Linux’s success on the desktop has been organic. It’s a combination of platform maturity, ease of use, the breaking of windows USP in gaming, privacy and data concerns, and on the other side the enshitification of Windows, and even MacOS. The only “forcing” is arguably Microsoft & Apple pushing it’s users away from their own platforms by their behaviour.
