I have a friend who went to London and just ate at Whole Foods all the time. So, vegans can survive.

I thought the swiss people seemed sometimes kinda "rude"or maybe a better word for it “cold” and a little annoyed

I have some Swiss-American relatives, and I think this is cultural. They just have a different set of indicators, they’re not going to be grinning and hugging.

“Homies” explains it too: www.youtube.com/watch?v=PCJ_e76mz6Q

I dunno though, I just listen to the music.

Rolando ,

This would make an awesome episode of “It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia”

Rolando ,

Make sure you listen to Eye of the Tiger: 30 minute intro while watching that.

There are a couple things we can do:

  • decline to review for the big journals. why give them free labor? Do academic service in other ways.
  • if you’re organizing a workshop or conference, put the papers online for free. If you’re just participating and not organizing, then suggest they put the papers online for free. Here’s an example: aclanthology.org If that’s too time-consuming, use: arxiv.org

most high profile labs have all had to deal with this nonsense.

It’s even worse for low profile labs because those publication fees eat up a greater proportion of our budget.

visiting a neat-sounding community and realizing all the posts are by the single moderator (and are getting less and less frequent).

This will be a key moment towards Lemmy’s growth or decline. Especially in non-tech/meme/politics communities, it’s so easy for the only poster be a single person who is posting daily, and who then simply runs out of content. Maybe the solution is for each frequent poster to post non-daily on several different communities. Anyway, check out !fedigrow, @Blaze has started posting a weekly thread on “How is your niche community doing?”

Rolando ,

Finally, wave comes to lemmy.

!synthwave has been here a while and there was waveform.social before that, but it’s good to see a community with an active mod. I think I’m a switch to this one.

Rolando ,

if you took the world and seperated its humans by intelligence, the “idiot” group is going to be much bigger than the “PhD” group. Like…by a lot.

No… you’d have a bell curve. But even that assumes you have a single good measure of intelligence.

I kind of agree with the rest of your post, but I would have worded it a bit differently, emphasizing that people who found it difficult to start using Lemmy might still be worth having around. Also, I don’t think “as large as Reddit” or “small niche unknown” are our only options.

Agreed, if you didn’t publish parts of your dissertation before or after completion, then your advisor wasn’t really doing their job.

Rolando ,

Lifetime movies are awesome because you can put them on in the background and they’re not at all distracting from the main task you’re working on.

Rolando ,

some people still recommend using a VPN and IP address from a country where YouTube ads are prohibited, such as Myanmar, Albania, or Uzbekistan.

Wait, you can just prohibit YouTube ads at a national level? That’s somehow awesome and terrifying at the same time.

Rolando ,

Hey I’m just happy we don’t have a “reaction text” saying something like “I’m literally dying rn fr!!!” so we know how to feel about it.

Rolando ,

“And if I’m NOT elected, I’ll be EVEN MORE carniverous!!!”

Rolando ,

Yeah, they’re so focused on screwing me over that I’m worried eventually I’ll miss something.

Rolando ,

It will now require Windows Hello (via facial recognition and/or fingerprint)

So Microsoft also wants my fingerprints and a realtime capture of my face? Yeah that totally addresses my concerns. /S

Rolando ,

When you defend, print out your slides; at least enough for your committee and you. Then if all else fails, you can present off the paper copies. (also, it gives the committee members somewhere to write notes and to easily look back to previous slides.)

Rolando ,

She’s like: “I need a new agent…”

Rolando ,

Yeah but you’re right.

That data they’re collecting is more valuable now that it can be used to train A.I.s. A couple years from now they’ll push some update that lets them exfiltrate it (or its usable features.)

Same. I got a cheap Chromebook and a no-contract flip phone and only use google on that.

Here are a bunch of fun communities that are active (avoiding news, tech, and memes):

If you like them, be sure to upvote / comment / post!

Rolando ,

at least two people with Lemmy World accounts downvoted this post.

Maybe they don’t like the thought of Ruud getting older.

Rolando ,

I just say: “It’s like email. There are different email servers, but they can all talk to one another. If there are things you really like, you can subscribe to them, and if there are things you don’t like, you can block them.”

Or replace “email” with “instant messages”.

Rolando ,

I get what the meme is saying, but community colleges don’t really need research scholars, they need great teachers with industry experience.

A viable option is to take the industry job, and then teach a class or two a year. Also, you can make connections at those community colleges and regional schools and advertise your internships and job postings.

Meaning you dance with a partner. I do not have a very much experience with it (about 16 lessons, with half of them being repeats). I go there with some people I know, but am not all too well acquainted with.

  • Assume you are the least experienced dancer of your acquaintance group.
  • Select the second-least experienced dancer of that group. That person will accept because they’ll look good by comparison.
  • Have fun just trying out the basics with them and laughing about it.
Rolando ,

This article was a lot of words with very little information.

Rolando ,

The Flash briefly appears in [the alternate universe story] Kingdom Come when the book is establishing its world’s status quo. Described as living “between the ticks of a second,” the Scarlet Speedster has turned his home of Keystone City into a crime-free paradise. He’d pushed himself so hard and gotten so fast that he was effectively omnipresent and could easily stop any disturbance before it began. However, in the process, Wally West had stopped slowing down to do human things like talk to people or sleep.

Microsoft is offering wallpapers, ask Google what it’s offering before you make the decision.

Only works if you use Brawndo – it’s got what plants crave!

Rolando ,

I don’t think so. I watched “Idiocracy” for years before realizing it has

a brief post-credits scenein which the pimp character wakes up from his cryogenic sleep and goes looking for his money.

We’re in the trash timeline.

They will distribute this image and say: “See? It has always been this way…”

Rolando ,

That’s very interesting… can you suggest a good article covering this topic?

Rolando ,

I just use the NoScript extension on Firefox, though it still takes a couple clicks to whitelist or temp-whitelist a site. Apparently uBlock Origin can do the same in Advanced mode, but I never got around to figuring it out.

Rolando ,

Thank you, that was very interesting, especially the second article. It’ll be worth watching the details of how this plays out over the coming years.
