You just captured the daily life of a UK academic after the catastrophically low recruitment numbers this year.

I need a pasta of this for when I get asked to man the open day stall on a weekend...

I absolutely don't use notepad++ as my main IDE... Honest.

I feel personally attacked by this!

We won't have kids because, despite doing everything right, despite working hard, we're struggling with finances. Kids wouldn't be affordable without an extra job, and most of work two already!

I love the Lemmy vegan community - they are the second greatest shitposters around (fuckcars have the edge due to their expert ragebaiting).

Spherical geometry - good times...

Yep, it's a triangle. You can also make one with three right angles on a sphere!

Oh I definitely believe they won't make a wise decision - these past few years have been devastating when it comes to decisions.

Come visit academia some time... Copyright laws ensure we do all the work and get nothing in return;)

[–] HexesofVexes@lemmy.world 8 points 3 weeks ago (6 children)

I rather think the point is being missed here. Copyright is already causing huge issues, such as the troubles faced by the internet archive, and the fact academics get nothing from their work.

Surely the argument here is that copyright law needs to change, as it acts as a barrier to education and human expression. Not, however, just for AI, but as a whole.

Copyright law needs to move with the times, as all laws do.

 

For when you need something to test video playback on your old windows 95/98/XP friend (files and instructions in description).

 

Not all art shows something beautiful - this really does feel like the internet of today without a lot of browser tweaking.

 

Truly a test of patience - this is an excellent modpack that unifies 3 classics together into the way I dreamed of playing them as a kid.

Found it by accident a week ago, and it's been my short nightly unwind (trying to do a solo run because I always wanted to).

 

Thought I'd share this list as it contains many emus I've not heard of before and I'd love to hear people's reviews on any folks have tried.

 

So, in the past, I used to make a bit of money fixing up comps for folks.

With slightly trickier cases, I used to boot up puppy Linux to check the more essential hardwares (and if it booted, back up essential files for the customer). My students are now asking how to manage similar things.

Alas, puppy is no good for a modern system, as it really does not like UEFI boot. I was wondering if anyone can recommend an alternative.

I'm looking for a very lightweight gui os I that can run some hardware diagnostic tools, runs on a wide range of hardware, that is easy enough to set up on a pen for novice users.

So, kgen98 was one of the first genesis emulators, and it runs on dos.

I use it in one of my ICT classes (paired with a sonic 1 rom) on a floppy disk to demonstrate just how heavily compressed and optimised older games were.

It's an oddball that is definitely worth trying out.

A handy tool for developing vn style games for the Gameboy and Gameboy colour.

Great for people starting a game dev journey.

 

Mednafen is worth a go if you're looking for a lightweight set of emulators to run your dumped carts.
