Doing it well requires a different approach and skill set than in person learning, which can be difficult to retrofit into an existing institution, especially when budgets are tight. Plus established institutions tend to be a bit conservative about things. Even if the administration is on board, getting faculty to adjust their curricula and adopt the new technology can be near impossible.
Are the pictures to scale?
482·2 months agoWhen the news first broke, I assumed Russua was behind the ceasefire and had already pulled Trumps strings to their advantage.
Now I’m wondering if this administration might be too incompetent to be corrupt.

The conspiracy theorist in me wonders if the plan is to run up a massive debt now and then push the responsibility for dealing with that debt onto democrats if they win control after midterms.
61·3 months agoAccording to Yale’s website their operating budget is about 6 billion of which 2 billion comes from the endowment. That seems a bit low, but they are probably putting some money back into the endowment to grow it further.
I’m not saying they couldn’t afford to keep this one class (surely they could) but funding the whole operation with just the endowment would fail in the long term.
I used to think the Anne Frank quote was inspiring. Now I just see it as bitterly ironic.

This picture represents everything i expect out of 2025…
Mario RPG. No the Paper Mario and Mario & Luigi series (while fine games themselves) do not count.
I vaguely recall pushing in two buttons at once to get them both to pop out, but maybe that was something else.

Stadiums don’t vote. The last few weeks before the election there were several posts on lemmy about big crowds attending Haris events while Trump struggled to fill venues and bored his attendees. We now now how that turned out…
It is simple. The economy and the media.
Call it selfish, but most people are more concerned with their own well being and that of their families than anything external. They don’t see Gaza, climate change, or abortion in the grocery store, they see prices that are massively higher than they were during Trump. You can try to explain how economics works, how tarrifs are a bad idea, how inflation is actually down, but to many that’s just noise and why should they trust these economists over anyone else. Their lived experience is that, excluding covid, life was more affordable under Trump.
Take a look at the most popular cable channels and you see Fox news. Look at podcasts and there is Joe Rogan. Social media is arguably better, but X and Facebook are still big and skew right, plus the others are ripe for disinformation campaigns and bots. A large number of Americans regularly consume a diet of right wing propaganda.
Trump always overperforms. Even in 2020 he did better than he had any right to. This time there is no covid hanging over his head and Biden/Harris are taking all the blame for inflation.
It also does not hurt that millions of Americans willingly consume hours of right wing propaganda everyday. Fox News remains one of if not the top cable channel (after sports) and Joe Rogan one of the top podcasts. Meanwhile CNN has shifted right, papers like the Washington post have been compromised, and the remaining “liberal media” is so obsessed with appearing unbiased that they end up “sane washing” GOP craziness and inflating minor democrat flubs.
I’m not concerned that they followed the best advice of their lawyers to respond to the legal and political challenges that currently exist.
I am concerned that hostile nation states (define those as you will) have made supply chain attacks (remember the xz Utils backdoor) so common that actions like this or worse are becoming necessary and that open source, globally contributed software could be at risk.
