Why are there no universities/colleges that start in the afternoons? in c/nostupidquestions@lemmy.world

Tell me you didn't read the post without telling me you didn't read the post :)

Why are there no universities/colleges that start in the afternoons? (lemmy.blahaj.zone)
 

I'm an early riser, but not all people are. Some people are more awake in the afternoons, some people don't really wake up until the evenings. So, how come all full-time education seems to start around 9am-10am?

I know that night school is a thing, but that's really targeted at people who want to study over many years around their other commitments (e.g. a day job). I'm talking about full-time three- or four-year bachelor's degrees and above (though exactly the same logic applies to all education really). Surely there's enough demand for at least a couple of top-class full-time education establishments that don't even open their doors until lunchtime?

I'm so glad I'm letting my Proton subscription lapse when it runs out. I want away from that ridiculous mess of enshittification.

My HTC ChaCha had a full qwerty keyboard. Now I'm lucky if the on-screen one bothers to show up in some apps.

Why is Fediverse moderation, even more Draconian than Reddit? in c/nostupidquestions@lemmy.world
[–] Cevilia@lemmy.blahaj.zone 12 points 5 days ago

There seems to be a misunderstanding. There is no central moderation here, merely what individual people will put up with, and what they won't. If, for example, one community decides they won't tolerate strawmanning and sealioning, they can show anyone who does those things the door. But, unlike Twitter, you cannot be entirely banned off the platform, because there's always the option to spin up your own instance and federate with other instances willing to do so.

How do you reconcile staying sane while keeping yourself up-to-date with the news? in c/nostupidquestions@lemmy.world
[–] Cevilia@lemmy.blahaj.zone 5 points 6 days ago

I realised long ago that the human brain is not capable of handling everything that's happening all around the world, all the time. I'm selective about what media I consume and I make extensive use of blocklists for things that aren't my fight.

I got back into Shapez 2 recently and getting the factory flowing has been really fun. I like that you don't have to try and figure out how to cram everything into a tiny space, you can take as much room as you like to make well-designed factories.

(I have absolutely no idea how to even start to build a Make Anything Machine though)

Some notes based on frequent comments:

  • Not my petition, I'm just sharing it.
  • I don't live in the USA.
  • You can sign a petition and call them to complain. The numbers are downthread.

As others have said, the best way to do this is to use a platform that has good block list features (most Fediverse platforms qualify), and then curate your block list. You can block users, communities, and instances you don't wish to see here on Lemmy. Mastodon might be for you, because you can also block keywords (Mastodon and Lemmy will happily talk to each other, so you can subscribe to Lemmy communities from a normal Mastodon account and post simply by mentioning the community, or comment by replying to an existing post).

Meta seems to have money to burn, so they'll gladly pay for the disk space to host your uncompressible images. Here's a Python script to generate them!

generate.py

from PIL import Image
from tqdm import tqdm
import numpy as np
import sys
import os

number_of_images = 1000
width = 2048
height = 1024

for filename in tqdm(range(number_of_images)):
	image = Image.fromarray(np.random.randint(0, 256, (height, width, 3), dtype=np.uint8))
	image.save(str(filename) + ".png")
