To be completely frank, that is a very disrespectful thing to say. My students are intelligent and capable, and most importantly they are very respectful of other’s time and effort, both their teacher and their peer by choosing to understand the material instead of cheating. They attended school to improve themselves by understanding and absorbing existing human knowledge, not because they are ignorant.

Yes he ordered a Trump phone in order to expose it.

I am quite surprised that in the school I am teaching in, student have a much more negative attitude towards genAI than professors, especially in the context of education.

30% of the professor feel that genAI can play a role in education, whereas only 11% of the student holds the same view. That seems to reflect quite well in my homework, only a very small minority (10%) uses some extend of genAI in writing open-ended writing homeworks.

If we really need to summarize the web that frequently, then there is something seriously wrong with the web.

plus Rust is a more modern language with better tool chain and language feature than C/C++

The assumption that solving exam is a “useful” skill. Exams are timed, unhelped, approximation of your skill to do “useful” work

Education is supposed to let students eventually do useful work, not immediately do useful work, and useful wprk should be designing and implementing a final project, not exam and quizzes.

My undergrad also have an honor code, this means some professor do explicitly not supervise exams. Most of these professor would sit outside in the hallway for questions.

Some would do crossword puzzle, some would play kriby on 3DS

11$ per hour is not an okay wage in the U.S.

My college does the same, but depends on the professor. Most would sit in the hallway and just chill.

Boy, you thought blocking ml and hexbear is enough to get away from this bullshit. Sigh…

I am sure in 30 years there will be plenty of Americans worship Trump just like they are doing now to Reagan.

Even though both of them fucked literally everything up.

I am more and more tempted to donate to EFF every single day.

I think on android, signal do not use Google’s push notification. They simple send a dummy push, and the signal app wakes up to retrive the latest message directly from signal server.

So Google never have your notification content. I am not sure if they do the same on iOS.

That being said if your attack model includes people reading your notification lock screen, then you should disable showing signal notification.

I don’t think it is terribly expensive, a lot of (somewhat large) domain specific academic instances are maintained by grad students with donation from academics. As far as I know, many of them are in good financial standing.

There are several non-profit had their own instance, like ACM. I recall Mozilla used to do, but I am not sure if they still does.

And my absolute favorite is @frenchtoast@better.boston

BTW, there is a very strong Boston/Cambridge/Somerville community on mastodon, there is a entire instance for it: https://better.boston/explore

Mayor Wu is on there @wutrain@better.boston but not posting much these days.

There are also many people on other instances, like transport or OSS instance, as many prominent OSS contributor lives in that area.

Gnome has parental control https://help.gnome.org/gnome-help/parental-controls.html

But it has some serious limitations: for example, you cannot block individual website reliably. Parents can consider piholes, but DNS sink hole on local network are often trivial to bypass.

Nearing absolute zero even.
