@nikatjef@dragonheim.net generally speaking, at teaching institutions where you aren’t expected to do significant research, 12 credits is considered full time if you have other responsibilities (committee work etc.); at research institutions, 6 credits is more typical and, of course, “full time” is in reality far more than 40hr/wk in academia

LOL at the job posting that says that teaching 15 credits per semester plus service equates to 37.5 hr/wk of work.

Bengali English teacher Joyeeta Banerjee on getting a Fulbright to the U.S. <https://www.npr.org/2026/03/01/g-s1-104772/teacher-india-school-patriarchy-fulbright>

“Every woman who crosses an ocean for her work carries rebellion in her suitcase. Mine is lined with lesson plans, stories of my girls from my school and the slums, and a stubborn belief that my worth does not depend on how well I maintain other people's comfort. Education, after all, is an act of faith that minds can open, that even inherited questions can change.”

mistyped ‘sakoku’ (Japanese isolation under the Tokugawa shogunate) as ‘sukoku’ and Wikipedia redirected to ‘sudoku’ which is... something very different

@NemoAndTheRats@wandering.shop Yeah, if the LLM tells me what I want to hear, I’ll trust it. Can’t imagine how that could possibly go wrong... @futurebird@sauropods.win

@mark how many security problems are caused by people not doing system updates for fear—having been burned in the past—that they’ll get a UI change forced on them that breaks their workflow?
