  One of the problems with Google products. We come to rely on products and functionalities, then they get taken away. (Reader, Orkut, Google+, Hangouts, Duo...)

  As a language teacher, pros of working with a school: · fewer payment headaches · no need to be a salesperson Cons: · retention comes before the interest of the students ("This is a business!") · the customer is always right ("They won't do homework. Don't ask them to practice outside of class, you'll only irritate them.") · the owner is always right ("Do YOU think you dictate how we teach??") #esl #inglês #teacher #...

  @autobrain Estou com Librewolf, Zen e Vivaldi, tirei o Brave mas não desinstalei. Ainda não consigo fixar o Helium na barra, como está rodando como Appimage. 🤷‍♂️

  Hypocrisy or just incompetence in action? Meta claims to police hate speech, that is, expressions against people for who they are: https://transparency.meta.com/policies/community-standards/hateful-conduct/ "We define hateful conduct as direct attacks against people — rather than concepts or institutions — on the basis of what we call protected characteristics (PCs): race, ethnicity, national origin, disability, religious affiliation, caste, sexual orientation, sex, gender identity, an...

  @MissGayle Thank you! I've heard that the company is ethical towards employees and the environment, but I have to see how well it works.

  As a lifelong procrastinator, I finally understand that it doesn't help to treat any time or day as special. It's probably one of the primary enablers of putting things off: "I'll do that on a weekday," "I'll save that for a Sunday," and so on. Days of the week are meaningless, time is time.

  I can see how new users can find the Fediverse confusing. "I made an account but when I go to Mastodon.social / join-lemmy.org I'm not there!" I still get turned around trying to follow Mastodon accounts that I find outside of my feed. A click takes me to their instance, and I am not considered "logged in" there. Are there too many hurdles for smooth, general-public adoption?

  "You're such a {state demonym}." Would you take that as a compliment or not? I suppose it might depend on the state, but even more on the intention. "You're such a Minnesotan!" (Probably a great compliment.) "You're such a New Yorker." (They just accused you of being insufferable.)

  Quando bater a saudade de São Paulo, eu também lembro das obras do vizinho de baixo, que iniciaram em outubro de 2020 e que ainda continuam até nós saímos no final de novembro de 2021.

  It seems that in some parts of the world, tilapia is perceived as "junk fish," either because of some farming practices or the fact that it's low-priced.

  Used Claude for the first time to model an idea that's been bugging me for years (since Twitter): scrolling through and confusing the order of multiple posts by the same account. There are two cases: threads, a sequence of posts; and bursts, several posts in rapid succession by the same account, though not necessarily related (news orgs do this a lot). Thoughts, @pachli ?

  É engraçado, como paciente oftalmológico, continuam as suposições que a gente enxerga. Desde o cartão da profissional na fonte de 6 pontos até o exame marcado para cedo de manhã em outra cidade, tenho uma nova compreensão do que as pessoas com deficiência visual passam.
