Is everyone aware of the sea-level rise we are causing now? 1 meter will be catastrophic for many coastal cities and regions.
At 2 °C warming we comit the world to a long-term rise by 8-13 meters until the ice sheets come to a new equilibrium. Source: http://www.ipcc.ch

Paul, FOSS advocates in US K-12 public schools often end up as pariahs (unsupported by research) or money-saving heroes.
Don't confuse "Gaggle" with "Google." It's not a typo, Gaggle is a separate company that's been around for a long time filtering and "protecting" students from themselves and other bad actors.
School districts choose Gaggle to assist them in monitoring students emails for suicide prevention, drugs, plots, etc.
To continue...
Google Workspace for Education and Microsoft 365, or Apple, are so deeply adhered to in K-12 school leadership, there's no escaping the ecosystem chosen. Often, they mix all three in a chaotic jumble that leave educators and students falling between the cracks in Single Sign-On, file sharing, and account management.
If you work or study in public schools, you'll end up using a top-down controlled system that offers no privacy and is designed for surveillance.

After several cases of apps that sell discounted drugs selling customer's health records to Meta without the users' knowledge, here we go with the case of a public hospital selling medical records to Meta.
This is wrong in so many levels it makes me wanna stop the world and get off.
We need international laws that strictly regulate the sharing of medical records with private businesses (especially those that aren't professionally qualified to handle them), and we need them now.
