Hard to follow #lemmy posts from Mastodon. I decided to follow @nostupidquestions to try it out and each comment that someone posts shows up as a boost and only sometimes is threaded. Time to check out #kbin.
while it’s cool that mastodon, kbin and lemmy can all talk to one another, the format of mastodon just doesn’t play nice with kbin and lemmy. if it works for you, that’s cool, but i’d recommend separate accounts for microblogging and thread-style social media
Yup, this is what they do. Even if it does work, it doesn’t matter, because they’ll just create a new subscription category and opt you back in. It’s illegal, but laws without enforcement are just ink and paper.
@bryanalexandee@kate@Downes@actualham@harmonygritz@cogdog I should add — I am very aware of the fact that the origins of higher education are all about preparing students for careers, from schools for prospective bureaucrats in ancient China, Hindus Valley, and Mesopotamia, to the origins of European universities as training grounds for lawyers and theologians. But ever since the origin of Humboldt University, higher education has been about more and has taken a broader view of being for the good of society. Neoliberalism in HE has been regressive.
Thank you, Fredrik. I've been concerned for decades that academics not lose the nerve of our vision. Here in Japan we have been through similar pressures for vocationalization, but fortunately in this case, education is a conservative sector of Japanese society that changes only incrementally. Incidentally, Japan had a university mainly for Confucian civil service preparation in the 8th Century Nara Period.
Your case for higher education being not primarily for vocational training but for a broader view to the good of society would be strengthened by adding the examples of Plato's Academy and Nālandā, which I discuss in "What is the Academic Life? 2. The Idea of the University."

average mastodon.social user reaction, having a meltdown because a poor person decided to open their mouth for 5 seconds about their situation asking for help:
I think it's interesting seeing people in the restroom. Like if it's just some number 1, conversation time. But if it's number 2, no eye contact, no words to be had. Like you're ashamed of your own poo baby. Be proud of that loaf bro... You made that with your own body.

I'm not sure if this has been made clear enough, but please do not follow me if you are that young, the brainworms will ruin you
Anyone knows how to properly start a multiseat wayland with a desktop environment or window manager running?
I just need simple stuff such as profile initialization of the user and if it's possible to just share the same discrete GPU across multiple seats?
The end result? I want to isolate my current user space from the gaming space where I can just connect using moonlight/sunshine. I want it all headless.
