UW-Milwaukee announces closure of Waukesha campus in 2025, citing declining enrollment in c/wisconsin@midwest.social
[–] JackFromWisconsin@midwest.social 2 points 6 months ago

Absolute Bullshit. The closure of the branch campuses, which bring the UW to rural Wisconsin, is a failure on the state and on the Universities of Wisconsin (formerly UW System). Thousands of students across wisconsin would not get the life-changing, fulfilling, career-opening education they fucking deserve if all of these branch campuses close.

What is next after the rest of the UW branch campuses close? Bye-bye UW Parkside? UW Superior? UW Platteville?

We can fund these colleges, we just haven't been. It is about god-damn time that our legislature has a spine and promises to fund these colleges, and to re-open the closed ones, for the future. While you're at it, make tuition free at these colleges. The state has more than enough money. Help those who need it.

It’s Surprisingly Easy to Live Without an Amazon Prime Subscription in c/technology@lemmy.world

I have never used amazon, much less paid for a subscription service for the pleasure of using it. I was hoping that the author atleast stopped using amazon alltogether. Ah well. Little victories I guess.

Not at all. We actually block the offending instance.

Is there a free, idiot-friendly way to export a custom area of the map as a PNG/JPEG in other styles than on the offical website? in c/openstreetmap@lemmy.ml
[–] JackFromWisconsin@midwest.social 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

There's a way to embed a map in the article itself. See The Maps for Wikipedia page for information on how to do that.

Otherwise I am unaware of a tool that allows for a PNG or SVG export or OSM data.

How can we boost Lemmy membership? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.ml

I know they had a word block list but I'm unsure if it's still around.

I just realized FF didn't have a built in translator a week ago. Excited to see it come!

Google raising price of YouTube Premium to $13.99 per month in c/technology@lemmy.world
[–] JackFromWisconsin@midwest.social 1 points 1 year ago

I got by for a long time using a YouTube playlist and Vanced. Might want to look into YouTube Revanced, it's a patch for the YT app that deletes ads and adds some extra features.

Thanks for letting me know, it should be fixed now.

I just now realized I got Voyager and Lemmy versions confused. You are right about 0.20 being the most recent voyager version.
