The kind of professor I’m trying to be at university:

EDIT: just to clarify, this is a screenshot found offline, not from one of my student. I’m more direct as I tell my students that "piracy is sharing knowledge and sharing knowledge is ethical and what I’m paid to do so please use libgen.rs and sci-hub"

Heads up to anyone using facebook or insta: you'll receive a notification about your data being used to train AIs. The opt out process is deliberately convoluted and you have to fill out a form to object. This is what I wrote in mine, and the objection was immediately registered as successful, so feel free to copy.

Masto reply bores, this is not a post on which to fart out your opinions about Meta or AI or whatever. So don't. I'm sharing helpful info for people who need it, not for you.

That's a complicated question best not asked unless you're sure you have the time 😂

Obligatory #aurora images from the countryside south of Linlithgow. Grateful to be out here amongst the fields and trees for these views.

Got an extremely blue new notebook today since my current one is nearly full. Any matching ink recommendations from #FountainPen Fedi?

#TinyDesk is just always something I look forward too.

SO excited to see #MohiniDey killin' it alongside Willow! She's perfect accompaniment alongside Willow's Jazzy-funk vibes.

Watching Mohini play ALWAYS makes me want to pick up my bass.

Hey friends, if we interact regularly and you notice I have yet to drop you a follow, please please please feel free to nudge me to do so. It’s not intentional, I just get overwhelmed with that sort of stuff. 💜🫶🏻

I’d love to have more awesome folks like you in my feed! :drac_heart:

Hi mstdn.games friends!

I've noticed some posts in the local timeline recently around the sensitive topics of politics and Harry Potter.

Please remember that Content Warnings and tags - such as #Politics #Trump #HarryPotter - are tools that help other members opt-in to your content. They are optional but show compassion.

The most punk thing you can do is care about vulnerable people in a society that actively discourages it.

Don't forget transcripts for video and audio. These will help blind users and low-vision users, deaf and hard-of-hearing users, people with ADHD, and people with audio-processing disorders. Transcripts also benefit search engines, people in quiet spaces, and people in a hurry.

I want to share this publicly, as I feel there are other admins out there that might want to see it and possibly chime in here as well.

https://social.growyourown.services/@FediTips/112163544709115656

@FediTips which is the same person(s) who own/run @FediGarden has confirmed to the DM's they have sent.

I've provided some feedback for them, and would love to see other admins do the same possibly.

At the Juno Awards in Halifax on Sunday night, Calgary-raised pop duo Tegan and Sara received a standing ovation after speaking out against policies Alberta’s government is proposing that would affect transgender youth.

Writing friends and prolific note takers. What app are you using these days? I have decided that I don’t like Notion for just writing, and I’m looking for something that has Mac and iOS with a great user experience and online sync. Obsidian is not what I’m looking for when it comes to long from writing and quick notes.

Do I just want Evernote? Is that what I’m seeking? #productivity #writing #iOS

The University of Alberta is offering a new free online course to highlight the history and accomplishments of Black Canadians.

Called Black Canadians: History, Presence, and Anti-Racist Futures, the course will explore topics like systemic racism and unconscious racial bias in Canadian institutions.

Vestibular disorders affect people's balance as well as their visual perception of their world around them. Don't make animations, sliders, videos, or rapid movement start automatically, as autoplaying elements could trigger a bad reaction in people who have vestibular disorders.

the reason we couldn’t be honest about Covid and act accordingly is that would have meant we needed to take care of poor or vulnerable people and there is a bipartisan embargo on that

I get incredible satisfaction from making wifey and I latte's every day.

A couple of weeks ago I re-set up our espresso machine (I had been making pour-over coffees since the pandemic started) and the joy I get from pulling a perfect espresso shot on our manual machine, keeps me going.

Once a #barista always a barista...
