Cool idea for art schools: block IPs of Adobe license verification servers for one week each semester to simulate the future.

@despens Yeah! and let’s block IPs of tap water too.

@despens Additional joke: Make them use Pantone®️ colors for a week.

@cat567 @despens Because the industry is currently powered by these apps due to vendor capture. Similar experience with Autocad. If you want a job doing CAD you'll benefit from Autocad training.

@despens better yet, make them block adobe altogether, so that everyone's forced to use the alternatives (and no, procreate and ipads don't count as alternatives)

@despens similar idea, but block the license server for Matlab 😂

@miah @despens My uni effectively did that when I was in grad school by blocking ethernet ports used in the labs. Completely brought all experimental progress to a halt for a week, but that *still* wasn't enough impetus for folks to switch away.

@despens cool idea for coding schools: block access to StackOverflow and AWS (plus any service that uses AWS) for one week to simulate the future.

@kboyd @despens Cool idea for the future of humanity: kill the internet. It was a mistake anyway.

@frainfostudent @despens ehhhhhhh ... no, I'm not on board with that. I'd hate to have to go back to the 1980s vision of long distance telephone calls, where every minute has an exorbitant price attached to it.
