Yes, but he’ll gaslight the rest of us into calling it “bee-GOH” Games.
It’s worth keeping in mind that this wasn’t exclusively a Soviet tactic. But yeah, Putin’s a Soviet through and through — and apparently not the good kind. This was likely foreseeable.
Well, Bibi got The Donald re-elected. Guess he can afford to agree a ceasefire in Lebanon — especially doing it before they and their supporters start hitting back.
Wonder how much of this is down to Netanyahu’s troops firing on UN peacekeepers, including a lot of Europeans? If he loses the EU, he may really be screwed (or so we can hope).
I know Eastern Carolina tried to revoke Vince’s degree at one point. What about hers?
If your instance has .ml defederated or blocked, could that filter the image?
I gave up on BBC “News” years ago after a host tried a dozen different ways to get an American to say something racist. BBC finally simply ended the interview, immediately asserted on-air that the guest had said the racist thing (he very specifically had not), and carried on. I was done at that point.
Sounds like elements of the old MUD “Sindome” along with Logan’s Run and Robocop
Tangent re: New Yorker: I’m about to host-block websites that drop a non-dismissible paywall over the browser and force a quit-and-restart
What, exactly, will this mean in real terms?
In fairness, she can’t be any worse than Betsy DeVoss.
I realize that they’re trying to appease a terrorist “activist investor,” but the Times is rapidly tanking their credibility with readers
Thanks. Reuters recently announced that they would paywall content, at least in the US.
So, reading between the lines, he didn’t leave Bild on good terms and Springer is trying to torpedo his new job.
Good on Apple. Hope this post is updated when someone with no paywall rewrites and runs the article.
It wasn’t so much an “upset” as “open theft” with the collusion of an immature official aiming for his 15 minutes of Disney fame.
Honestly, what were you doing on Reddit in the first place?
Private Security Camera
I find that I need a security camera for my back yard. Do you folks recommend any particular makes & models? It should avoid the cloud but record locally. I'm somewhat handy with Linux and a RaspberryPi, if that helps.
Thanks!
Has Title IX Outlived Its Usefulness?
While studying inequality and social mobility, Richard Reeves made a surprising discovery: in some countries, like the US and UK, boys are drastically lagging behind girls across many academic measures. He explains why these struggles in school are indicative of the larger crises facing boys and men...
One takeaway from this TED Talk is that Title IX, rather than balancing the playing field for women, tilted it against men. Are there any clear solutions?
Student Mental Health Webinars
This May, we're proud to offer a free webinar series and additional curated resources to empower educators and support student wellness in higher education.
Is anyone else genuinely not interested in knowing what should be private details of another adult's health? I'm happy to point students to helpful resources that I know about, but treating them is not my job, nor am I interested in the liability of being seen as some sort of first responder. This is well and truly out of my wheelhouse, and I work to keep it that way.
Team USA track and field kit for women is needlessly revealing and sexist, women athletes have said after Nike unveiled its outfits for the Paris Olympics
What is it with Nike and sexualized athletic uniforms these days (see MBA see-through pants)? Did PornHub invest without anyone noticing?
Apple Planning to Kill PWAs
Apple has officially announced that they attempting to kill web apps in the EU, which will have ramifications worldwide
Mastodon Instance Recommendation
Gabe, please remove this if it doesn't belong here.
The instance of my Mastodon account has chosen to federate with Facebook. This wigs me out, so I'm looking to migrate. Do y'all have any suggestions?
Google's anti-adblocker campaign
Have they given up already? I haven’t seen the popup in a couple of days (touch wood). For a few weeks, it showed up every time I used a logged in account and made the service unusable.
Maybe I’ve just stopped trying to watch monetized videos.
This year, taxpayers paid the nonprofit at least $90 million for A.P. tests that many students failed.

What do you all think of the College Board’s AP program?
Lessons in Developing AI Prompts
In another thread, @flooppoolf@lemmy.world made a post leading to the question "How long until we need to include a lesson on crafting appropriate AI prompts in order to help students use them as tools and not as unpaid ghost writers?" Are we already doing this?
I definitely discuss acceptable use and try to keep the guidelines brief and familiar (Treat it like a not-too-bright friend who's a patient sounding board). But how far do you all think we'll eventually have to wade into the weeds on this?
Cheating with AI
I know that we're all still feeling our way around this issue, but how are other profs handling it? What is good evidence of unauthorized AI use? How do you handle a student who refuses to engage in attempts to get their side of the story?
For my classes, we talk once a month or so about acceptable use (treat it like a not-very-bright friend who's overconfident and prone to hallucinations). It's okay to brainstorm, bounce ideas, and generally use AI to spark creative problem solving. It's not okay to have it do your assignments.
Student BO
This fall, I have a student who seems unfamiliar with showering and deodorant. I haven't said anything, hoping that the issue is just a one-off and that it will resolve itself. However, we're quickly approaching the end of my patience, and I'm not sure how to proceed.
Everyone has a deodorant malfunction from time to time. Obviously, no one is going to be personally identified, even in a private email. My best idea so far is a general class announcement via the LMS that it's been brought to my attention that we may have a problem and for everyone to please double check their hygiene before coming to class.
Have any of you all ever had to deal with this? Any suggestions?
Anyone remember A Witches' Thicket?
Pretty much the title. The Thicket was a community at Delphi many years ago. Just wondering where they are now. :)
Found a good former student's papers on Studocu
I admit to being a little bummed out. It was relatively good work. While I strongly believe that students retain copyright to their own work and can post it wherever they want, I'm still sad.
It's worth noting that I'd never heard of this particular cheating site before today. One more to the list, I guess.
