…shouldn't be meeting or talking to any foreign heads of state. That's the law.
It is? News to me. He can’t represent the US government without a Presidential request, but he can talk to whoever will make time for him.
OTOH, Zelenskyy does have a government to represent. As to why he would want to talk with a convicted felon, who knows?

ETA: FWIW, I agree that a nakedly partisan activist, especially one who served as a mouthpiece for war criminals, has no place on any news organization’s review board. My question was just pointing out yhe incomplete reporting in this publication.

Whether he said it or not, social engineering is perhaps as inappropriate in games as in schools. I agree with the sentiment that I play games to get away from reality, not to get slapped with extra-strength RL issues.

I find that I need a security camera for my back yard. Do you folks recommend any particular makes & models? It should avoid the cloud but record locally. I'm somewhat handy with Linux and a RaspberryPi, if that helps. Thanks!

One takeaway from this TED Talk is that Title IX, rather than balancing the playing field for women, tilted it against men. Are there any clear solutions?

Is anyone else genuinely not interested in knowing what should be private details of another adult's health? I'm happy to point students to helpful resources that I know about, but treating them is not my job, nor am I interested in the liability of being seen as some sort of first responder. This is well and truly out of my wheelhouse, and I work to keep it that way.

What is it with Nike and sexualized athletic uniforms these days (see MBA see-through pants)? Did PornHub invest without anyone noticing?
Gabe, please remove this if it doesn't belong here. The instance of my Mastodon account has chosen to federate with Facebook. This wigs me out, so I'm looking to migrate. Do y'all have any suggestions?
Have they given up already? I haven’t seen the popup in a couple of days (touch wood). For a few weeks, it showed up every time I used a logged in account and made the service unusable. Maybe I’ve just stopped trying to watch monetized videos.

In another thread, @flooppoolf@lemmy.world made a post leading to the question "How long until we need to include a lesson on crafting appropriate AI prompts in order to help students use them as tools and not as unpaid ghost writers?" Are we already doing this? I definitely discuss acceptable use and try to keep the guidelines brief and familiar (Treat it like a not-too-bright friend who's a patient sounding board). But how far do you all think we'll eventually have to wade into the weeds on this?
I know that we're all still feeling our way around this issue, but how are other profs handling it? What is good evidence of unauthorized AI use? How do you handle a student who refuses to engage in attempts to get their side of the story? For my classes, we talk once a month or so about acceptable use (treat it like a not-very-bright friend who's overconfident and prone to hallucinations). It's okay to brainstorm, bounce ideas, and generally use AI to spark creative problem solving. It's not okay to have it do your assignments.
This fall, I have a student who seems unfamiliar with showering and deodorant. I haven't said anything, hoping that the issue is just a one-off and that it will resolve itself. However, we're quickly approaching the end of my patience, and I'm not sure how to proceed. Everyone has a deodorant malfunction from time to time. Obviously, no one is going to be personally identified, even in a private email. My best idea so far is a general class announcement via the LMS that it's been brought to my attention that we may have a problem and for everyone to please double check their hygiene before coming to class. Have any of you all ever had to deal with this? Any suggestions?
Pretty much the title. The Thicket was a community at Delphi many years ago. Just wondering where they are now. :)
This is great to see. Looking forward to chatting with other Pagans here.
If this isn't the right place for user questions, please just let me know. My laptop's keyboard has begun having issues in the last few months. I think one of the keys has a broken spring and it's interfering with a half dozen others. Replacing the keyboard on this particular model involves stripping it to the chassis, which I prefer not to do. Since the computer lives in my backpack and goes to class while teaching (I prefer my own device rather than the uni-issued 10-year-old laptop), I'm thinking of picking up a small portable keyboard to use when the builtin acts up. Do any of you guys have suggestions for a good model?
I admit to being a little bummed out. It was relatively good work. While I strongly believe that students retain copyright to their own work and can post it wherever they want, I'm still sad. It's worth noting that I'd never heard of this particular cheating site before today. One more to the list, I guess.
