I recently found a poster on why you should choose Open Educational Practices. I have made a Canva version of the poster if you'd like to remix a copy for yourself.
The 16th C composer Thomas Whythorne wrote that maids go for looks, but widows have...um...other priorities. To court an experienced woman, he said, you "must not carry quick eels in your codpiece, but show some proof of being stiff." #eels#history#medieval#datingadvice

Selfhosted coturn server Rocket chat Configuration.
I spun up a coturn VPS server and configured the turn server in rocket chat WEBRTC configuration. However, when I try a call button to have a private audio call, it still starts up jitsi instead of doing a direct call using my turn server. Can someone tell me the right configuration to make it work like a regular voice or video chat/call?
Thanks.
Okay, here we go! Giving social media another try with #Mastodon since I started to miss the academic community that social media used to provide for me.
I'm Nele, a #linguistics postdoc at the University of Oslo, working on the language of fake news in English. I'm also affiliated with Lund University through my work on the London–Lund Corpus 2 and spoken language.
That's (mainly) what I'll be posting about. Here we go again!
@linux I just switched from windows 10 to Ubuntu Studio last Saturday, just wrapped up the transition yesterday. I love Linux. It is how a computer should be. I lost access to my audio interface, Keyscape VST and Valorant, but I have gained so much more. The Terminal is so much better than Windows neutered offering
@Toidi@the_postminimalist haha I ended up getting rid of all of what you listed , but for someone just starting out and doesn't have money for much, its perfect
Yeah there is just so much choice now with Linux audio, all of those above are good for beginners. My son regularly uses Guitarix and hydrogen when he is working on something new, before the band get together with the real hardware. Ardour is a great introductory DAW that people can learn before they move on to something like Reaper or pro tools.
With the introduction of pipewire as well recently, the whole Alsa, jack, pulse nightmare is rapidly looking like a thing of the past.
Oh no, the devs are to blame. Lots of people including me bought into the promise that this would be a Pokémon mmo. We expected expansion packs, coop content, new monsters to catch and new places to see. The devs vehemently oppose adding new content to the game and have been saying as much since late early game, right before launch, when most people have already paid.
Unfortunately, the devs see mmos as “games where you grind a lot”. Sure you can play the story coop, but at end game you have nothing to do with a friend. Sure, lairs technically have 5 players but everyone is playing their own game and the only interaction is a shared pool of resources.
The game is super grindy for no reason, it’s always online despite not having much justification for that aside from “you have to see players in the world, doesn’t matter that you can’t interact with them in any meaningful way”, and updates focus on meaningless pvp content with nothing major like new tems to spice things up.
If you asked me before launch if the game was worth it, I would have readily said yes, even if just for the storyline. Unfortunately, they rushed it so hard after the mid-point that they botched it completely, and you are left with a barely coherent, pointless excuse of a story.
It’s not the worst game out there, I have sunk 350 hours or so in it (most of that grinding), but the devs have piss-poor decision making, a lack of transparency, an aversion to criticism and they are getting desperate. You’re better off not getting invested in this.
If you have any questions about the game, feel free to ask.
PS: the ban thing isn’t an issue from my experience. It’s the rest of everything.
Yes. If you’re of the belief that Pokemon peaked during the game boy advance era then you’ll probably like coromon. I never got around to finishing it but I’ve enjoyed the 10ish hours I’ve put in.
Still trying to get a feel for this platform. I came looking for the historians (and other cool kids) I lost with the demise of that other platform.
I am a recovered academic who now enjoys life working in a museum. Still a historian. One who now often thinks about the weird gaps between academic and public history.
This one felt very timely - Surviving financially as an artist / surviving as the world slips into war. How the rise of fascism affected different people differently. People not recognising their own privilege. All put across in a story that feels very light - Really clever! @bookstodon
Skulle gjerne ha økt andelen av folk som ikke jobber med IT i feeden. Skal ikke avfølge noen, men trenger tips om folk med anna kompetanse og interesser for å skjønne mer av feeden min rett og slett. Så håper jeg at #ITdadsonbikes ikke blir fornærmet. #Norsktut
Now playing: HoloCure - Save the Fans! A new freebie on @steam , thematically based on the vtubers of Hololive. Gameplay is similar to Vampire Survivors. It's a really fun iteration of the formula. Try it out!
