Lol, so it has come full circle then
- Comment on College core: you sit in the class for attendance then go home and teach yourself 6 days ago:
Even for the classes with excellent profs, sometimes I’d have to do the thing above.
If I had midterms or an important project in one class, I might have to skip the prereading / review for another class. After that, I’d get to class and not understand much of it. Then I’d catch up the best I could during weekends, reading breaks, or just during finals season.

Since voting history is visible here, I’ve considered tagging the users to call them out directly.
I also think of this

Why would someone downvote this question. If you care about the difference, you shouldn’t downvote someone that’s wanting to learn…
As for the question: Nitter is a proxy service that lets people view content without giving Twitter anything, and avoiding any tracking, analytics, etc. Also some networks have blocked Twitter outright, and so they won’t see your content unless it is proxied.
Similar tech exists for other sites too.
- Comment on What Phone do you guys use? 1 week ago:
We’re still working on publishing the results of the census we ran a few months ago (sample size of around 600, where most users were from our Lemmy/Piefed instances)
Here is the graph for the phone question with our mostly cleaned data:

- Comment on If I were to throw a live flightless bird as hard as I can, would it be safe and unharmed provided I threw it forward or up, and I held it as gently as I could during the throw? 1 week ago:
Sanctuary / rescue workers might do a gentle toss with some animals if it fits in with their training / recovery.

- Comment on Is it actually healthy for people to have a place to confess things anonymously? 2 weeks ago:
That might be a good way to go about it, and it’s easier to moderate too
- Comment on Is it actually healthy for people to have a place to confess things anonymously? 2 weeks ago:
A few universities have “confessions” pages on facebook/reddit. I think a key requirement for your platform would be to set up some ground rules and have manual approval for each post.
Even then, you might start to see soapboxing and hate mongering in the longer posts that moderators don’t have the capacity to deal with.
The other solution would be to keep the person anonymous to readers, but not anonymous to the moderators, to prevent one person or entity from sending in a bunch of harmful posts. However, that comes with its own problems like data leaks harming legitimate users

Slowly unsubscribe from things that aren’t worth your time, and remove apps and shortcuts to disrupt your unconscious muscle memory.
You can also fill that time with other things, it doesn’t necessarily have to be other social media :)
- Comment on Is there any good laptop cleaners so I can set it to max settings and get rid of bloware that are free? 2 weeks ago:
Definitely do not pay for a bloatware remove tool… That sounds like paid malware.
Also be careful with any advertisement that says it will remove bloatware. It’s likely also malware
There are some popular open source / source available scripts that are more reliable. Someone else mentioned one in this thread

- Comment on Ilhan Omar Condemns Arrest of State of the Union Guest 4 weeks ago:
:(
Aliya Rahman, a U.S. citizen who was dragged from her vehicle after an ICE agent shattered its window during President Trump’s immigration crackdown in Minneapolis, attended the president’s speech on Tuesday night at the invitation of Ms. Omar. As Mr. Trump was speaking, Ms. Rahman was seen being escorted from the gallery above the House floor by Capitol Police officers. She could be heard shouting for someone to call Ms. Omar, and that all she had done was stand up.
Ms. Rahman, 43, Ms. Omar and the U.S. Capitol Police said in separate statements that Ms. Rahman had been charged with unlawful conduct by disrupting Congress. The misdemeanor charge is punishable with a fine of up to $500 and up to six months in prison.
Ms. Rahman — who is disabled and has autism, according to a written statement she provided to Congress earlier this month — told Democracy Now in an interview that the arrest aggravated injuries that she had sustained when federal agents dragged her from her vehicle last month while she was headed to an appointment for a traumatic brain injury.

Or the reaction videos where the original video plays in the corner while the person points, nods, and makes faces
